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).

4 Technical Data
The M 60 is a compact and light weight sensor interface unit for analog and digital
sensors. Up to eight M 60 can be used to expand the number of input channels of the
data logger C 60 as well as the display DDU 9. The M 60 are linked via high-speed Ethernet interface. This allows for synchronized acquisition of data from the different units and
the ECU.
The M 60 offers 26 analog inputs, four rotational inputs, four pwm outputs and two independent CAN buses. Each analog input channel features an analog pre-filter, 8 x oversampling and highly linear digital filtering. The cut-off frequency of the digital filter is
automatically adjusted to match the acquisition rate. The latency of the digital filters is
corrected during recording, yielding zero filter delay in the recorded data.
The evaluation of each M 60 measurement channel is individually configurable with the
PC configuration tool RaceCon.

5 Inputs and Outputs
The following chapter introduces the Input and Output Channels.
5.1 Input Channels
The M 60 provides diverse analog inputs which allows the direct connection of a multiplicity number of sensors.
5.1.1 Analog Inputs
The M 60 analog inputs accept an input signal of 0 to 5 V. A 3.01 kOhm pull-up resistor
can be activated by software.
5.1.2 Digital Inputs
The digital inputs of the M 60 accept 0 V to 5 V signals of Hall-effect sensors by default.
Connect the output of the Hall-effect sensor to the REVn_P pin and leave the REVn_M pin
open. Support of inductive speed sensors is available as a hardware option. Inductive
sensors are connected to the REVn_P and REVn_M pins.
5.2 Output Channels
This chapter describes the PMW Output and Sensor Power Supply of the M 60.
5.2.1 PWM Outputs
The M 60 has 4 low side switch outputs controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM).
Each switch is rated 1 A maximum current. Maximum PWM switch frequency is 1 kHz with
a 0 % … 100 % duty cycle. Each output is short circuit protected to GND and battery
voltage. It is mandatory to connect the LS_PWM pins to vehicle GND as indicated in the
circuit diagram when using the PWM outputs.
5.2.2 Sensor Power Supply
The M 60 has three types of sensor power supply:
– 12 V unregulated battery voltage
– 5 V regulated voltage
– 10 V regulated voltage
The 12 V unregulated output is fused and rated 1 A max. The regulated 5 V and 10 V outputs can deliver 350 mA each. They are short circuit protected to battery voltage and
GND.
5.3 Communication Channels
This chapter describes the Communication Channels of the M 60.

Starting up | 7
Bosch Motorsport Modular Sensor Interface M 60 17/104
2. Set up the PC’s network interface as shown in the screenshots.
a) Select ‘Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)’.
b) Click ‘Properties’.
c) Select ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’.
d) Click ‘OK’ when done.
7.1.2 Starting the M 60
The M 60 powers up by turning on the ignition of the car.
The ‘Link LED’ at the PC’s network adapter will illuminate. If the LED is off, check the wiring
harness.
7.1.3 About RaceCon
RaceCon is an all integrated software tool for configuration and calibration of Bosch Motorsport hardware products. It is used to set up, configure and calibrate the M 60.
For better understanding, Bosch Motorsport offers a video tutorial that explains many
functions of RaceCon.
The video tutorial is available in the ‘Software Download’ section of www.bosch-motorsport.com.
7.1.4 Connecting the M 60 to RaceCon
The following screenshot shows an overview of the RaceCon main screen with its areas. All
(sub-)windows are resizable and dockable.
7 | Starting up
18/104 Modular Sensor Interface M 60 Bosch Motorsport
1. Start the RaceCon software.
Starting up | 7
Bosch Motorsport Modular Sensor Interface M 60 19/104
2. In the ‘File’ menu select ‘New’ to create a new project.
3. In the Toolbox select the M 60 and drag it into the Main Area. A pop-up window to
specify the M 60 program archive appears.
7 | Starting up
20/104 Modular Sensor Interface M 60 Bosch Motorsport
4. Select the program archive delivered with the M 60 (.PST file). An information shows if
the archive is valid or not.
5. Click ‘Next’.
6. Select location of M 60.
7. Click ‘Finish’. The M 60 is inserted into the project and RaceCon tries to connect to the
device. Repeat the bespoken procedure for every additional M 60. If you are starting
with a new delivered M 60 you once-only need to assign the mountain location(s).
Please refer to Assign the Mounting Location.
Starting up | 7
Bosch Motorsport Modular Sensor Interface M 60 21/104
RaceCon detects configuration differences between the M 60and the RaceCon project
and asks for permission for data download.
8. Click ‘OK’ to proceed.
The download starts and the M 60 carries out a reset. After the reset RaceCon reconnects
to the M 60. Local configuration on both the PC and M 60 match (indicated by green
background and dot). The M 60 is now connected to RaceCon.
7.2 Assign the Mounting Location
Because up to eight M 60 can be used in one network for I/O expansion, the mounting
location is used for determination between the different M 60.
At delivery no mounting location is set. This is signaled by an orange ‘RUN’ LED on the
device. Therefore one must first assign a mounting location to the M 60 before it can be
used in the project. The mounting location is permanently saved in the M 60. If necessary
you can at any time reassign a different mounting location following the same procedure.
A mounting location must not be used several times in one network, this would disturb
the functionality of the respective M 60.
7 | Starting up
22/104 Modular Sensor Interface M 60 Bosch Motorsport
1. In the Project Tree right click on the project name e.g. ‘New Project’ and then select
‘Show discovered devices…’.
All connected M 60 are listed.
2. Compare the listed device Type, FNumber and SNumber to the identification plate to
identify the device you want to make changes to:
Starting up | 7
Bosch Motorsport Modular Sensor Interface M 60 23/104
3. Assign the desired mounting location (e.g. ‘Front’) and confirm by clicking ‘Apply’.
The mounting location is now stored in the device. The device will do a reset and the
‘RUN’ LED on the device will change to green. The list will show the new mounting
location assignment.
It is good practice to physically label the M 60 with its mounting location.
Now the device is ready to be used.
A different coloring of the M 60 is used to indicate that the device is already configured in the currently loaded RaceCon project or not (white/orange).
A conflict of several connected M 60 using the same location is indicated by red coloring the involved devices:

7.3 Feature Activation
– If you have purchased an optional software feature package, it must be activated be-
fore it becomes operational.
– The feature activation status is stored permanently in the device and requires activat-
ing once only.
– As the activation key is device specific, a key delivered with one M 60 does not work
on any other M 60.
– If you have not purchased an option package, the next steps can be skipped.
1. To activate a feature, double-click on ‘M 60’ in the Project Tree and click on the ‘Features info’ tab in the Main Area.
a) Double-click on 'M 60'.
b) Click on 'Features Info'.

8 Math and Condition Channels
This chapter describes how to create a Math or Condition Channel.
8.1 Math Channels
Math channel
– Arithmetic and logical operations on up to 4 measurement channel(s)
– Numerical result
– Result can be used as input source for various display elements (numeric elements,
alarms, Bargraphs) and further calculations in the whole RaceCon project
Conditional function
– Arithmetic and logical operations on one or more measurement channel(s)
– If-Else structure with reset
– Numerical result
– Result can be used as input source for various display elements (numeric elements,
alarms, Bargraphs) and further calculations in the whole RaceCon project
All math channels can be used globally in the whole M 60 project.
8.1.1 Creating a new Math Channel

The conditional function works in the following way:
The program always calculates the condition entered in the IF window and checks if the
condition is TRUE or FALSE.
If the condition entered in the IF window is TRUE, the program calculates the condition
entered in the THEN window. The returned value is the content of the new variable
(entered in ‘Name’).
If the condition entered in the IF window is FALSE, the program calculates the condition
entered in the OTHERWISE window. The returned value is the content of the new variable
(entered in ‘Name’).
The reset value is always set for the new variable (entered in ‘Name’):
– before If-condition becomes TRUE for the first time after power-up.
– when If-condition changes state from FALSE to TRUE.
An example of a condition to set up the maximum front brake pressure is given on the
next page.
Example: Setting up a condition for maximum front brake pressure.
“Brake pressure front ‘p_br_front’”
– At power-up, the reset value (10) is used for ‘p_br_front_mx’.
– ‘p_br_front’ rises to 30. As ‘p_br_front’ is > 20 (condition is TRUE), the condition ‘max
(p_br_front, p_br_front_mx)’ in the THEN window is triggered. The condition sets the
bigger value as new value for ‘p_br_front_mx’. As ‘p_br_front’ (30) is bigger than
‘p_br_front_mx’ (10), the new value for ‘p_br_front_mx’ is set to 30.

– Although ‘p_br_front’ falls to 25, the value of ‘p_br_front_mx’ stays 30. This is caused
by the THEN-condition, because p_br_front_mx’ (30) is still bigger than
p_br_front’ (25).
– As ‘p_br_front’ rises to 40. As ‘p_br_front’ (40) is bigger than ‘p_br_front_mx’ (30), the
new value for ‘p_br_front_mx’ is set to 40.
– As ‘p_br_front’ falls below 20, the IF-condition turns to FALSE. Now the OTHERWISE-
condition is triggered. Because the condition ‘p_br_front_mx’ sets the value of
‘p_br_front_mx’ and the value that is already set to 40 before, nothing changes.
– When ‘p_br_front’ rises to 40, the If-condition changes to TRUE again and triggers the
THEN-condition. Now the reset value (10) is used for ‘p_br_front_mx’ in the THENcondition.
– Because 40 is bigger than 10 the new value of ‘p_br_front_mx’ is 40.
