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

8/120 Modular Sensor Interface MSI 60 Bosch Motorsport
4 Technical Data
The MSI 60 is a high quality signal conditioning and data acquisition unit for analogue, digital, frequency and linear variable differential (LVDT) sensors.
MSI 60 offers a large number of freely configurable inputs (32 x differential analogue, 8 x
single ended analogue, 8 x LVDT, 2 x frequency, 1 x RS 232 for GPS). Possible applications
of the differential inputs include e.g. 31 TC-J type or TC-K type temperature sensors arranged in a sensor array (one diff. input used for compensation), PT100, PT1000 (specific
pull up values available), NTC, strain gauges etc. Each differential input features 200 times
oversampling.
The cut-off frequency of the digital filters in all inputs is automatically adjusted to match
the acquisition rate. MSI 60 also corrects the latency of the digital filters during recording,
yielding zero filter delay in the recorded data. Quantization of each MSI measurement
channel is individually configurable. Data can be sent via Ethernet interface to any Bosch
Motorsport logging device.

5 Inputs and Outputs
The following chapter introduces the Input and Output Channels.
5.1 Input Channels
The MSI 60 provides diverse analog inputs which allows the direct connection of a multiplicity number of sensors.
5.1.1 Basic Analog Inputs
The MSI 60 basic 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 Differential Analog Inputs
The MSI 60 differential analog inputs offers a wide configurability. The inputs can be
switched between single ended or differential mode. In single ended mode input signals
of 0 to 5 V are accepted. In differential mode input signals are accepted in the range of -5
V to +5 V.
Three pull-up resistors can be activated by software. A 3.01 kOhm resistor can be used for
evaluation both ntc sensors and switches or push-buttons.
The resistors of 4.99 kOhm and 49.9 kOhm provide the direct connection of PT100 and
PT1000 sensors.
A selectable amplification of small input signals allows the direct connection of resistive
strain gauges.

5.2 Output Channels
This chapter describes the PWM Output and Sensor Power Supply of the MSI 60.
5.2.1 PWM Outputs
The MSI 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 MSI 60 has three types of sensor power supply:
– One 12 V unregulated battery voltage
– Two fixed outputs with 5 V regulated
– Two switchable 5 V/10 V outputs with regulated voltage
5.3 Communication Channels
This chapter describes the Communication Channels of the MSI 60.
5.3.1 CAN Bus
The MSI 60 has 2 CAN buses configurable as input and output. Different baud rates are
selectable. Please note that the MSI 60 does not contain any CAN termination resistors.
Thus the CAN termination resistors need to be integrated into the wiring loom.
5.3.2 Ethernet Channels
The MSI 60 has three 100 Mbit full duplex Ethernet communication ports. The ports are
internally connected with an Ethernet switch. The Ethernet ports have 'cable auto crossover' functionality.
5.3.3 RS232 Port
The MSI 60 has one RS232 serial port. The baudrate is programmable which can be used
for reception of data from a serial GPS sensor, see on GPS Sensor [}111].
5.3.4 Vehicle Diagnosis Connector
The Bosch Motorsport vehicle diagnosis connector is used as a standard interface to connect the vehicle to a PC e.g. via a MSA-Box II. Loom Connector: AS0-12-35SN.

7 Starting up
The following chapter explains what you have to do before starting the MSI 60 and how
to connect it to RaceCon.
7.1 Before Starting
Install the software required for MSI 60 operation. It is developed for Windows 2000/XP/
Vista/7. Following software versions are used in this manual:
– MSI 60 setup, configuration and calibration: RaceCon V2.5 and following
– Measurement data analysis: WinDarab V7
Set up the 100 Mbit Ethernet connection to the MSI 60.
– All three Ethernet ports of MSI 60 are internally connected by a network switch.
– All Ethernet ports have ‘cable auto crossover’ functionality.

7.1.1 Starting the MSI 60
The MSI 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.
7.1.2 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 MSI 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 on
www.bosch-motorsport.com.
7.1.3 Connecting the MSI 60 to RaceCon
The following screenshot shows an overview of the RaceCon main screen with its areas. All
(sub-) windows are resizable and dockable.

2. In the ‘File’ menu select ‘New’ to create a new project.
3. In the Toolbox select the MSI 60 and drag it into the Main Area. A pop-up window to
specify the MSI 60 program archive appears.
Starting up | 7

4. Select the program archive delivered with the MSI 60 (.PST file). An information shows
that the archive is valid or not.
5. Click ‘Next’.
6. Select location of MSI 60.
7. Click ‘Finish’. The MSI 60 is inserted into the project and RaceCon tries to connect to
the device. Repeat the bespoken procedure for every additional MSI 60 . If you are
starting with a new delivered MSI 60 you once-only need to assign the mountain location(s). Please refer to Assign the Mounting Location [}26].

RaceCon detects configuration differences between the MSI 60 and the RaceCon project and asks for permission for data download.
8. Click ‘OK’ to proceed.
The download starts and the MSI 60 carries out a reset. After the reset RaceCon reconnects to the MSI 60 . Local configuration on both the PC and MSI 60 match (indicated by
green background and dot). The MSI 60 is now connected to RaceCon.
7.2 Assign the Mounting Location
Because up to eight MSI 60 can be used in one network for I/O expansion, the mounting
location is used for determination between the different MSI 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 MSI 60 before it can be
used in the project. The mounting location is permanently saved in the MSI 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 MSI 60.
Starting up | 7
Bosch Motorsport Modular Sensor Interface MSI 60 27/120
1. In the Project Tree, right click on the project name e.g. ‘New Project’ and then select
‘Show discovered devices…’.
All connected MSI 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:

28/120 Modular Sensor Interface MSI 60 Bosch Motorsport
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 MSI 60 with its mounting location.
Now the device is ready to be used.
A different coloring of the MSI 60 is used to indicate that the device is already configured in the currently loaded RaceCon project or not (white/orange).
