Programmable engine control unit
The core of the "Modular engine management system" is the engine control unit which can be programmed as needed. It has its own modifications for educational purposes which are perfect for showing how the controller receives input, processes it and outputs the appropriate signals. All the control unit’s pins are connected to sockets on the neatly laid out front panel so that measurements can be made on them directly. Thanks to the colour-coding of the 4-mm safety sockets, it is easy to identify the actual function of each of the pins (sensors, actuators, power, ground) at a glance. The control unit also proves to be multi-talented in the area of diagnostics. It is possible to use the fault switches or the OBD socket to read out standard P0 codes but also to monitor real-time data and modifications with the help of the Ethernet port and matching software. This enables you to cover the telecommunications topics of how Ethernet and IP are used in vehicles
