3 Power Supply

Please ensure that you have a good ground installation. That means:

– A ground that has a solid, low resistance connection to the negative battery terminal

– Connection should be free from dirt, grease, paint, anodizing, etc.

– Use large diameter wire

– More metal-to-metal contact is better!

The following notations for power signals are used:

– KL 15 is a switched battery rail controlled by the IGN-switch

– KL 30 is an unswitched battery positive rail (same as battery positive terminal)

– KL 31 is an unswitched ground rail (same as battery negative terminal)

Be careful to observe current limits of wires and connector pins!

DDU 8. Please consider this and replace the product name ‘DDU 8’ in this case with the
name of your product.

4.1 Error memory representation in RaceCon

Bosch Motorsport devices feature an error memory. Information on errors can be visual­ized via RaceCon (online measurement) or can be transmitted via telemetry.

4.1.1 Accessing the memory

The error memory can be accessed as shown in the illustration:

4 | Error Memory

8/108 Data Logger C 60 Bosch Motorsport

The memory is situated inside the device and is non‐volatile. As a consequence, an error
which has occurred and has not been cleared by the user will remain in the error memory
even after a power cycle. The error state will then reflect if the error is still active or not.

An error is deleted from the list when

– the user actively clears the error memory

– the user updates the firmware

The error memory is not cleared by a configuration download and is not cleared by a
power cycle.

4.1.2 Clearing the error memory

There are two ways of clearing the error memory, both are shown in the following illustra­tion:

Error Memory | 4

Bosch Motorsport Data Logger C 60 9/108

4.2 Information on errors available from the
error memory

In general, properties of the error memory and properties of an individual error need to
be distinguished.

4.2.1 Error Memory Properties

The following property is available for the error memory itself:

– Error Status (device measurement label “error_state”)

0: no error present in memory
1: at least one inactive error present in memory, no active errors
2: at least one active error present in memory

If displayed in a measurement sheet, this property’s value (0, 1 or 2) is translated into a
verbal description:

4 | Error Memory

10/108 Data Logger C 60 Bosch Motorsport

It is also represented by a color scheme within RaceCon (provided RaceCon is online with
the system):

0 (no error present in memory):

No orange border

MIL off (black)

No entries

1 (at least one inactive error present in memory, no active errors):

Constantly orange border

Info cycling through
errors, present in
error memory

MIL constantly orange

Error Memory | 4

Bosch Motorsport Data Logger C 60 11/108

2 (at least one active error present in memory):

MIL blinking orange

Blinking orange border

Info cycling through
errors present in
error memory

4.2.2 Error Properties

The following channels are recognized and memorized inside the devices:

– Error type (device label “error_type_rotate”):

e.g. “below_threshold” for a violation of the minimum voltage range defined in the
configuration, “shortcut_Batt” for a shortcut to battery voltage etc.

– Error locations (device label “error_location_rotate”):

e.g. “ANA01” for an error concerning the first ANA channel

– Error durations

How long has the error been active? If an error encounters a non-active period before
being cleared from the memory and is then detected again, the error duration keeps
on accumulating. The number of active periods can be seen from the “number of oc­currences”.

– Number of occurrences

How many times has the error been detected since the last time the error memory
was cleared.

– Error active state (device label “error_active_rotate”)

All failure modes are continuously diagnosed; any error detected will be written to the
error memory. Once an error is detected, it is qualified as “active”.

– 1 (TRUE) Error was detected in most recent diagnose run (active)

4 | Error Memory

12/108 Data Logger C 60 Bosch Motorsport

– 0 (FALSE) Error is inactive: error was not detected in most recent diagnostic run,

however the error has not been cleared from the memory by the user and re­mains in the non‐volatile memory

The aforementioned channels (error_active_rotate, error_location_rotate, error_type_ro­tate) are device specific properties (e.g. C 60) and are not related to the complete Race­Con project (e.g. “error no. 3 from the error memory”). Therefore, only one property label
is available in each device. The errors from the error memory (possibly more than one er­ror possible per device) share these three labels. The labels cycle through the errors cur­rently present in the memory and represent the respective property of each error period­ically.

The following screenshot shows error properties, which can be displayed or logged:

Labels hold information
on error 1 (an ANA3 error)

Labels hold information
on error 2 ... n-1

Labels hold information
on error n (a CAN error)

After the last error and its error properties have been displayed, the labels will start again
with the first error in the error memory stack and its error properties will be displayed
again. Therefore, monitoring these labels over a sufficiently long period provides the in­formation on all individual errors in the error memory.

To understand this behavior, it is recommended to observe the three labels in a measure­ment sheet (while more than one error is active) and watch the values change periodically:

The verbal representation of the numerical codes of these labels can be visualized in the
properties window of the measurement page:

4.3 Analog Input Diagnosis

4.3.1 Monitoring limits / Shortcut Detection / Cable
Breakage

The pin diagnosis functionality (check whether measurement is within the desired range)
can be activated in the ANA pin setup wizard; to allow for a diagnosis regarding shortcut
to ground, shortcut to battery voltage and cable breakage, a minimum / maximum has to
be defined.

4 | Error Memory

14/108 Data Logger C 60 Bosch Motorsport

4.3.2 Open Line Detection

The implementation of open line detection consists of pull up resistors being activated
and deactivated; evaluating the behavior of the measured value detects cable breakage,
regardless of the pull up resistor being activated by the user.

1. Open the Error Memory of the Device.

2. Click "start detection of cable".

3. Check the Error Memory for new fault entries, regarding "Open line errors".

– Filtering is (smart) averaging over several samples

– Filtered signal is delayed with respect to real time signal

– C 60 filters have constant, frequency independent delay

– Delay (e.g. 22 samples at 10 ms) is corrected during recording

– No delay filtered vs. unfiltered in recorded data

– Correction is (of course) not possible for real time data (display, online, PWM out)

– Use filtered data for recording, use unfiltered data for real-time

Latency compensation – no filter delay in recorded data

– Filtering is (smart) averaging over several samples

– Filtered signal is delayed with respect to real time signal

– C 60 filters have constant, frequency independent delay

– Delay (e.g. 22 samples at 10 ms) is corrected during recording

– No delay filtered vs. unfiltered in recorded data

– Correction is (of course) not possible for real time data (display, online, PWM out)

– Use filtered data for recording, use unfiltered data for real-time

If the condition is ‘true’, measurement channels are recorded at the value chosen in ‘True
rate’.

10. Click ‘OK’ when done.

Using fast block/slow block transmission

C 60 telemetry uses available bandwidth of Telemetry Unit FM 40 (19,200 baud -> approx.
1,700 bytes/s). The bandwidth has to be divided into channel information to be transmit­ted high-frequently and low-frequently using the ‘fast/ slow block’ setting.

Channels are grouped into 8 blocks which are transferred each cycle:

– Fast block (Block 1) is transferred every cycle and used for a high-frequent transmis-

sion of channel information (e.g. speed, rpm).

– Slow blocks (Block 2…n) are transferred every n-th cycle and used for a low-frequent

transmission of channel information (e.g. tire pressure, oil temperature).

Transmission Scheme

If the maximum bandwidth of a block is reached, a warning will be displayed. To fix this
problem you can view the allocation of the channels and data rate in the ‘Statistics’ tab of
the Main Area. See chapter ‘Recording statistics’ for more information.

12.2.1 Adding a recording

C 60 supports up to two independent recordings.

To add a recording, select ‘Add Recording’ from the context menu of the Logger in the C
60 Project Tree.

Maximum two Recordings are possible. In the DDU DTM Software the 2nd Recording is
reserved for Scruteneering Data. This Recording is invisible (protected).

12.2.2 Adding a recording group

Recording channels can be grouped.

12.2.4 Recording statistics

The tab ‘Statistics’ shows the channels’ allocation and their current data rate related to the
transmission frequency of the C 60 and the whole transmission system.

The overview helps to detect bandwidth bottlenecks of channels. Bandwidth bottlenecks
can be solved by changing the ‘fast/slow block’ setting for each channel.

The data rate of the whole system is often less than the data rate of the C 60 and limits
the overall transmission speed.

12.2.5 Recording diagnosis

The channel ‘statectrl_ok’ of the C 60 can be used for online monitoring of recording
status.

12.5.2 USB device handling hints

Using the USB device

Always plug the USB device into vehicle before power up to ensure that all measurement
data is stored on the USB device.

If the USB device is plugged in after recording has started, only the current data is saved.

Data recorded on the C 60 before the USB device is plugged in will not be saved.

12 | Recording and Telemetry

88/108 Data Logger C 60 Bosch Motorsport

Removing the USB device

Always power off the system before unplugging the USB device!

If the USB device is unplugged while recording is active, parts of the measurement data
may be missing.

If the USB device is unplugged and re-inserted for < 4 s while the C 60 is powered up, the
C 60 still records data.

If the USB device is unplugged and re-inserted for > 4 s while the C 60 is powered up or a
different USB device is plugged in, the C 60 restarts. In this case, the C 60 is not opera­tional for 1.5 s.

12.5.3 Troubleshooting

When no data on the USB device is recorded:

Configure the measurement label usb_mediastate on a RaceCon measurement view or
on a C 60 display page.

The value of usb_mediastate reflects the operating condition of the USB bus:

State Description

0: Wait: Device not found The USB device is not found (also: waiting for re-plug stick).

No USB device inserted.
USB device is defect.
No electrical connection or wiring harness problem.
USB software upgrade not activated (Purchase of unlock code
needed).

1: Wait: Device detected An USB device is found, but not yet installed.

2: Ok: Media installed The USB device is found and is operational (idle).

This does not imply that recording data is written!

3: Stop: Device unplugged The USB device has been removed.

The C 60 performs a restart when an USB device is re-plugged
in.

4: Ok: Media access Data is currently read from/written to the USB device.

5: Error: Media error The communication to the USB device broke down.

The USB device is defect.
The USB device is not supported by C 60.

6: Error: Media corrupt The USB device is not in valid BFS format.

(Hint: Re-format the USB device in RaceCon.)

Lap Trigger | 13

Bosch Motorsport Data Logger C 60 89/108

13 Lap Trigger

13.1 Lap trigger (timing beacon)

Why do we need a lap trigger (timing beacon)?

– Vehicle lap time measurement

– Calculation of lap-dependent functions (lap fuel consumption, min/max values)

– Calculation of lap distance dependent functions

– Control of data logging system

Types of Systems

– GPS based (low cost, low precision)

– IR based (low cost, high precision, limited reliability)

– RF (microwave) based (high precision, high reliability)

IR and RF based Systems consists of

– Transmitter (trackside unit)

– Receiver (in-vehicle unit)

13.1.1 Electrical trigger signal

In C 60 all sources of measurement channels can be used as trigger signal.

– Analog input

– Digital input

– CAN input

Signal (measurement channel) properties

Low active signal (Bosch triggers): Trigger releases if signal is below the threshold.

High active signal (other manufacturer’s triggers): Trigger releases if signal is above the
threshold.

13 | Lap Trigger

90/108 Data Logger C 60 Bosch Motorsport

Two types of trigger signal:

– Main trigger (end‐of‐lap at start/finish line)

– Sub‐trigger (segment time, optional, not applicable with GPS lap trigger)

Bosch standard:

– Main trigger 20 ms, low active (Recommendation for RaceCon “Detecion Time” set-

ting: 15ms, Setting must be a slightly shorter period than the signal length of the
trigger to avoid a missed trigger due to the update rate)

– Sub trigger 40 ms, low active (Recommendation for RaceCon “Detecion Time” setting:

30 ms)

13.1.2 Prevention of false triggers

– Race track topology and transmitter location frequently cause false triggers.

– Software functionality prevents acceptance of false triggers.

– Minimum vehicle speed for acceptance of trigger prevents false triggers while vehicle

is stationary in the pits.

– Time based re-trigger protection prevents false triggers due to signal reflections on

main straight.

– Lap distance based retrigger protection prevents false triggers due to track topology.

13.1.3 Forced triggers

Lap distance based insertion of ‘forced trigger’.

Under race conditions, trigger signals are sometimes missed. Software functionality intro­duces ‘forced trigger’.

13.1.4 Setting up a lap trigger

1. Click ‘Measurement Sources’ in Toolbox.
