MoTeC Introduction 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a MoTeC ADL2 Dash / Logger and/or EDL2 Enclosed Data Logger
ADL2
The MoTeC ADL2 Dash / Logger is a combined LCD dash unit and high performance data logger.
EDL2
The EDL2 is a model of the ADL2 that is manufactured without a display screen. Aside from this, it functions in the same way, using the same software as the ADL2. In the remainder of this manual when reference is made to the ADL2, it also refers to the EDL2 – except when referring to the display.
This Manual Covers:
• Overview of the ADL2/EDL2s capabilities
• Installation
• Overview of the MoTeC ADL2 Dash Manager software
Software Information
For detailed information on using the various software programs refer to the online help supplied with the program.
Other Manuals
Separate Manuals are available for:
• MoTeC Lap Beacon / BR2
• Interpreter Data Analysis Software
2 Overview
Overview
ADL2 New Features
The ADL2 replaces the original ADL and includes the following new features.
USB Communications
This allows the ADL to be connected directly to the PCs USB port rather than requiring the M oTe C CAN Cable which connects to the PCs printer port.
The USB cable may be used for all communications to the ADL.
USB provides much faster logging downloads than the CAN Cable (approximately 8 times faster)
If desired a M oTe C CAN Cable may be used instead of a USB cable but this will result in slower communications and requires a PC with a printer port.
16M Log Memory
The ADL2 comes with 16Mbytes of memory with 8Mbytes enabled as standard.
More Inputs as Standard
30 I/O is standard (50 I/O Optional). See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Higher Resolution Inputs
Eight of the Analog voltage inputs (AV1 to 4 & AV 11 to 14) have higher resolution which is particularly useful for measuring suspension position.
Note that these inputs have a reduced voltage range of 0 to 5.5V (previously 0 to 15V)
Dual Expanders
The ADL2 supports two E888 or E816 expanders allowing significant expansion of the number of inputs and outputs.
MoTeC Overview 3
Additional CAN Templates
The ADL2 provides ten additional CAN templates.
Independent Speed Inputs
All four speed inputs may be independently designated as hall or magnetic (rather than in pairs).
More User Tables
The ADL2 has sixteen 2D tables and sixteen 3D tables.
Increased Processing Performance
The ADL2 has increased processing performance to handle more demanding applications.
ADL Pin Compatibility
An ADL2 may be connected to an existing ADL wiring loom and will communicate using the existing CAN communications if required or USB communications can be added.
The ADL2 is directly pin compatible with the ADL except that pin 78 (RS232 TX) is used for USB. RS232 TX is still available but is shared with pin 67 (Telem).
4 Overview
Display
The ADL2 display is a high contrast, high temperature, custom made LCD display.
The display contains a Bar Graph, three Numeric Displays, a Centre Numeric Display and a Bottom Alpha / Numeric Display.
Bar Graph
The 70 segment bar graph has a user definable range and is typically used as a tacho, however it can be used to display any other value. When used as a tacho it may be configured for up to 19,000 RPM.
A fully programmable shift point can be displayed, which can also be gear dependent.
The operation of the bar graph can be different for each of the display modes (Race Practice and Warmup), this allows a lower range to be used in Warmup mode.
MoTeC Overview 5
Numeric Displays
The three numeric displays (Left, Right and Top Right) can be programmed to display any value, which may be different for each of the display modes (Race Practice and Warmup).
Note that each of the three numeric displays has a different number of digits and are therefore suited to displaying different values. Fox example the Top Right display can only show values up to a maximum of 199 and is therefore not suitable for displaying Lap Times, but is suitable for displaying many other values such as Lap Number of Fuel Remaining, Engine Temperature etc.
The numeric displays can show any channel value plus up to two override values, which are shown each time their value is updated, this is useful for values that are updated periodically, for example Lap Time. The override values are shown for a programmable period of time, for example a numeric display could normally show the Running Lap Time (which is continuously updating) then be overwritten by the Lap Time for 10 seconds each time the Lap Time is updated.
Enunciators for some of the common display values are provided above the numeric displays, eg. ET (Engine Temperature), OP (Oil Pressure).
Centre Numeric Display
6 Overview
The Centre Numeric display is incorporated to show the current gear but may be used for other purposes.
Bottom Display
The 13 digit alpha numeric display can display up to 20 lines of information that can be scrolled up or down using the external buttons. Each of the 20 lines can display up to 3 channel values at a time.
The values shown may be different for each of the three display modes.
Additionally the bottom display can show up to four override values, similar to the numeric displays.
The bottom display will also show any active alarm messages, which will override all other values until the alarm is cleared.
Display Modes
The display has three main modes of operation, Race, Practice and Warm Up.
Warm Up
MoTeC Overview 7
The warm up display is used to display important engine sensor readings during engine warm up, eg, RPM, Battery Voltage, Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature & Fuel Pressure.
The bottom display may be used display many other values that may need checking during warm up.
Practice
The practice display is used to display basic information, plus information to help the driver improve lap times, eg. Lap Time, Lap / Gain Loss, Maximum Straight Speed, Minimum Corner Speed or Corner Exit Speed.
The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed.
Race
The race display is normally used to display minimal information, eg RPM, Lap Time, Fuel Remaining or Laps Remaining.
The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed.
8 Overview
Display Formatting
Units
The display units can be changed to suit the driver, for example the driver may prefer to see the engine temperature in Fahrenheit rather Celsius. This is independent of the units used for other purposes.
Decimal Places
The number of decimal places can be reduced for display purposes, for example the engine temperature is measured to 0.1 °C but is better displayed
with no decimal places. This is normally done automatically.
Alarms
When an alarm is activated a message is shown on the bottom line of the display, a warning light can also be activated which is recommended to draw the drivers attention to the display.
The message displayed can be defined and can also include the current sensor reading or the sensor reading when the alarm was triggered.
The alarms remain active until they are acknowledged, either by a driver activated switch or automatically after a defined period of time.
The warning alarm limits are fully programmable and may include up to 6 comparisons to ensure that the alarms are only activated at the correct time.
For example, an engine temperature alarm may activate at 95 °C if the ground speed has been above 50 km/h for 30 seconds. The speed comparison avoids the alarm showing during a pit stop due to heat soak. Additionally another comparison could be set at a higher temperature to cover all other situations.
MoTeC Overview 9
The comparison values can be automatically incremented or (decremented) when an alarm occurs. For example the engine temperature alarm may be set
at 95°C with and increment of 5°C, so that the second time the alarm activates it activates at 100°C. A limit may be set on the number of times the
comparison value is allowed to increment, also it may return to its original value after a period of time, in case the alarm condition was temporary.
The alarms can also be dependent on the current display mode (Race, Practice or Warmup)
Data Logging
Data logging allows the sensor readings (or any calculated value) to be stored in the ADL2 for later analysis on a Personal Computer.
Logging Memory
The ADL2 comes with 16Mbytes of memory with 8Mbytes enabled as standard. The full 16Mbytes can be enabled by purchasing the 16Mbyte option.
Power
The ADL2 power can be turned off at any time without losing the logged data. The ADL2 uses FLASH memory which does not require an internal battery to keep it alive.
Logging Rate
The ADL2 can store any value at up to 1000 times per second, which can be individually set for each logged item.
The rate at which the values are logged is very important – the value must be logged fast enough to record all variations in the reading. If the value is logged too slowly then the readings can be totally meaningless. For example suspension position normally needs to be logged at 100 times per second or more.
Note, however, that if a value is logged faster than necessary it will not improve the accuracy of the logged data, it will just reduce the total logging time available. For example, the engine temperature only needs to be logged at once per second.
10 Overview
Update Rate
Not all values are updated 1000 times per second, and logging them faster than their update rate will simply waste memory.
The update rates for all input types are listed below:
Input Type Update Rate
(times per second)
Analog Voltage Inputs 1 to 4 & 11 to 14 1000
Other Analog Voltage Inputs 500
Analog Temp Inputs 500
Lambda Inputs 100
Digital Inputs & Speed Inputs 100
RS232 & CAN Communications 50 max *
* Note that the RS232 & CAN Communications update depends on how frequently the data is sent from the device. Typically the update rate from an M4, M48, M8 or M800 ECU is about 20 times per second using RS232, and about 50 times per second for the M800 using CAN.
Logging Time
The maximum logging time is dependent on the logging memory size, the number of items logged and the rate at which they are logged. The configuration software will report the logging time, taking all these factors into account.
Logging Types
The ADL2 provides two ways of logging the data: Normal Logging and Fastest Lap Logging.
Normal Logging
Normal Logging continuously logs data to memory whenever the Start Condition is true (and the Stop Condition is false).
Logging Rates
The logging Rate may be individually set for each value between 1 to 1000 times per second.
MoTeC Overview 11
Start and Stop Logging Conditions
To avoid logging unnecessary data, logging can be started and stopped by user definable conditions. For example logging might start when the vehicle exceeds 50 km/h, and stop when the engine RPM is below 500 RPM for 10 seconds. Note that the Start Condition must be true and the Stop Condition must be false before logging will start.
Memory Filling Options
When the logging memory is full the ADL2 may be configured to either stop logging, or to overwrite the oldest data, which ensures that the most recent data is always available. This is referred to as cyclic logging.
For most applications it is recommended that cyclic logging is used.
Logging Setup Files
The logging list can be saved and loaded from a file. This allows multiple logging setups to be used.
Fastest Lap Logging
Fastest Lap logging records data for the Fastest Lap since the data was last retrieved. Normally this is used for items that require fast logging rates, such as suspension position. This allows the available memory is used more efficiently.
Note that Fastest Lap Logging requires that a Lap Beacon is connected.
Fastest Lap Logging is in addition to and works concurrently with Normal Logging.
Up to 50 values may be logged.
Logging Rates
The logging Rate may be individually set for each value between 1 to 1000 times per second.
Maximum Lap Time
Note that a maximum Lap Time must be entered which indicates to the ADL2 how much memory to reserve for fastest lap logging. If there are no Lap Times less than this value then Fastest Lap data will not be available.
12 Overview
Memory Occupied
The amount of memory occupied by Fastest Lap logging depends on how many items are logged, how fast they are logged and the specified maximum Lap Time. The effect on normal logging time is shown in the configuration software.
Logging Setup Files
The logging list can be saved and loaded from a file. This allows multiple logging setups to be used.
Retrieving the Logged Data
A personal computer is used to unload the logged data from the ADL2. The logged data is then stored on the computer hard disk.
The logged data may be retrieved at very high speed (approximately 2.5 seconds per Mbyte when using USB or 20sec Mbyte when using CAN).
After each unload the user has the option to clear the logging memory.
The unload may be interrupted part way through if necessary by disconnecting the computer. The partial unload will contain the most recently logged data and will be stored on the computer hard disk. In this case the ADL2 logging memory is not cleared and logging will continue as normal at the end of the existing data. Next time the logged data is unloaded both the new data and the previously partly unloaded data will be retrieved.
Track Map Sensor Requirements
In order for the logging analysis software to plot a track map the following sensors are required and must be logged.
• Lateral G force
• Wheel Speed
• Lap Beacon (Note that the ‘Beacon’ Channel must be logged)
• Longitudinal G force (Optional: See Below)
A Longitudinal G force sensor should be used if the vehicle has only one wheel speed sensor. This allows the analysis software to eliminate wheel lockups which is essential when creating or using a track map.
MoTeC Overview 13
Other Functions
The ADL2 can perform many other functions and calculations including the following:
Functions:
• Shift Lights
• Engine Log (Up to four separate engine logs with separate conditions)
Calculations:
The ADL2 can calculate and display any of the following:
• Lap Time, Lap Speed, Running Lap Time, Split Lap Times, Lap Number, Laps Remaining.
• Ground Speed, Drive Speed, Wheel Slip, Lap Distance, Trip Distance, Odometer.
• Lap Time Gain / Loss continuously displays how far behind or ahead the vehicle is compared to a reference lap.
• Current Gear.
• Minimum Corner Speed, Maximum Straight Speed and other Min/Max
values.
• Fuel Used, Fuel Usage, Fuel Remaining, Laps Remaining, Fuel Used per Lap.
General Purpose Calculations:
The ADL2 also provides a number of general purpose calculations including:
• 2D and 3D Lookup Tables
• User Defined Conditions
• General Purpose Timers
• Mathematics
The user defined conditions or tables can be used to activate items such as a Thermatic Fan or Gearbox Oil Pump.
14 Overview
Measurement Inputs
The ADL2 measurement inputs can be connected to a wide variety of sensors. This allows the ADL2 to measure vehicle parameters such as: Suspension Movement, Wheels Speeds, Steering Angle, Engine Temperature etc.
Input Types
The ADL2 has a number of different input types which are designed to suit the different types of sensors.
The following inputs are available:
• 20 Voltage Inputs
• 8 Temperature Inputs
• 2 Wide Band Air Fuel Ratio Inputs (Lambda Inputs)
• 4 Switch Inputs
• 4 Digital Inputs
• 4 Wheel Speed
Note that the number of inputs that can be used depends on which options are enabled. See the Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Expander Inputs
Additionally up to two E888 or E816 expanders may be connected.
The E888 includes 8 Thermocouple Inputs, 8 Analog Inputs, 4 Digital Inputs and 8 Auxiliary Outputs.
The E816 includes 16 Analog Inputs, 4 Digital Inputs and 8 Auxiliary Outputs.
Internal Sensors
The ADL2 also includes internal sensors for Battery Voltage and ADL2 Internal Temperature.
Sensors
Different types of sensors are available to suit different types of measurements.
MoTeC Overview 15
Sensors convert a physical measurement (e.g. Pressure) into an electrical signal (e.g. Volts). Different types of sensors generate different types of electrical signals. For example most temperature sensors convert the temperature into a variable resistance signal which may be measured by the ADL2 Temperature inputs, however most wheel speed sensors generate a variable frequency signal which must be connected to either a Digital input or a Speed input.
Calibration
Calibration is the process of converting the electrical value, e.g. Volts into a number that represents the physical value, e.g. Temperature.
All inputs can be calibrated to suit the connected sensor.
The calibrations can be selected from a number of predefined calibrations provided by M oTe C , or they can be entered by the user.
Analog Voltage Inputs
The 20 Analog Voltage inputs are normally used to measure the signals from analog voltage type sensors, i.e. sensors with variable voltage outputs, such as:
• Rotary or linear potentiometers
• Signal conditioned 3 wire pressure sensors
• Thermocouple amplifiers
• Accelerometers
These inputs can also be used to measure two wire variable resistance sensors if an external pullup resistor is connected from the input to the 5V sensor supply. Additionally, on/off switch signals may be connected, which may also require an external pullup resistor.
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Measurement Methods
These inputs can be configured to use several measurement methods to suit the various types of sensors:
16 Overview
• Absolute Voltage: The sensor voltage is independent of the sensor supply voltage
• Ratiometric Voltage: The sensor voltage is proportional to the 5V sensor supply voltage
• Variable Resistance: The sensor resistance can be entered directly.
• On/Off : The voltage for on and off can be defined
Input Voltage Range
The measurable input voltage range is 0 to 5.5V on inputs AV1 to 4 and AV11 to 14 and is 0 to 15 Volts on all other AV inputs.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Analog Temp Inputs
The 8 Analog Temp inputs are identical to the Analog Voltage inputs, except that they contain a 1000 ohm resistor which is connected internally from the input pin to the 5V sensor supply. This allows the Analog Temp inputs to be used with two wire variable resistance sensors such as:
• Two wire thermistor temperature sensors
• Two wire variable resistance pressure sensors
Some voltage output sensors can also be used if they can drive the 1000 ohm resistor without causing an error in their reading (eg M oTe C Thermocouple Amplifier). Additionally, on/off switch signals may be connected.
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Measurement Methods
These inputs use the same measurement methods as the Analog Voltage Inputs.
Input Voltage Range
The measurable input voltage range is 0 to 15 Volts. This allows selection from a wide range of sensors.
MoTeC Overview 17
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Wide Band Lambda Inputs
The two high accuracy, fully temperature compensated Wide Band Air Fuel Ratio measurement inputs can be used if the Lambda Option is enabled.
These inputs connect directly to a M oTe C 4 wire Wide Band Lambda Sensor and are accurate to 1.5% up to 1.2 Lambda under all load and temperature conditions.
Note that this is the Bosch LSM sensor and not the 5 wire Bosch LSU sensor.
Note that NTK Lambda sensors should be connected to an Analog Voltage input via the appropriate amplifier.
Switch Inputs
The 4 switch inputs are generally used for the external switches required to operate the ADL2 display. They can also be connected to a brake switch or other switch.
These inputs have a 4700 ohm resistor connected internally from the input pin to the 5V sensor supply so that a switch can be simply connected between the input pin and 0 volts.
Options
All four inputs are available irrespective of which options are enabled.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Digital Inputs
The 4 digital inputs are identically to the switch inputs except that they include the following additional measurement methods:
• Frequency: The frequency of the input signal is measured
• Period: The time between successive pulses is measured
• Pulse width: The low time of the pulse is measured
• Count: Counts the number of pulses
18 Overview
• Beacon: For connection of a lap beacon
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Speed Inputs
The 4 Speed Inputs are identical to the Digital Inputs except that they can also be configured to suit Variable Reluctance (Magnetic) sensors such as some wheel speed sensors. Because the amplitude of the signal from these sensors varies with speed of rotation, variable trigger levels are required, which must vary with the frequency of the input signal.
The Speed Inputs can also be used with Hall Effect type wheel speed sensors.
• Note also that the Pulse Width measurement method measures the high time of the pulse rather than the low time as measured by the Digital Inputs.
Options
All four inputs are available irrespective of which options are enabled.
Specifications
For full specifications see the Appendices.
Internal Sensors
The ADL2 includes internal sensors for battery voltage and internal temperature.
Expander Analog Inputs
Up to two E888 or E816 expanders may be connected to the ADL2.
MoTeC Overview 19
E888 Analog Inputs
Inputs ExA1 to ExA8 are voltage inputs much like the ADL2’s Analog Voltage inputs except that they only accept voltages in the range 0 to 5V and they have a resolution of 4.88mV (10bit).
Inputs ExA9 to ExA16 are K type Thermocouple inputs and must use the calibration “E888 K Type Thermocouple”. The temperature range is –200°C to +1250°C (-328°F to +2282°F)
E816 Analog Inputs
All the E816 inputs (ExA1 to ExA16) are voltage inputs - much like the ADL2’s Analog Voltage inputs except that they only accept voltages in the range 0 to 5V and they have a resolution of 4.88mV (10bit).
Expander Digital Inputs
The Expander Digital Inputs may be used to measure frequencies in the range 1Hz to 5000Hz.
The inputs have a 2700 ohm resistor connected from the input to Battery+.
Expander Communications Setup
Note that the “Expander Inputs” CAN communications template must be selected in the Communications Setup screen before the ADL2 will receive data from the E888 or E816.
Auxiliary Outputs
The ADL2 has 8 Auxiliary Outputs which may be used to control various vehicle functions such as: Gear Change Lights, Warning Lights, Thermatic Fan, Gear Box Oil Pump, etc.
Items such as Thermatic Fans or Pump Control should be setup using the User Conditions or the general purpose Tables, there is no specific setup item for these types of devices.
The Auxiliary Outputs switch to ground and can drive up to 0.5 Amps. Devices that consume more than 0.5 Amps such as motors should be driven via a relay.
They Auxiliary Outputs can be configured for switched or pulsed control.
20 Overview
Note that the number of outputs that are available depends on which options are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
For full specifications see Appendix E: Auxiliary Output Characteristics.
Expander Outputs
Up to two E888 or E816 expanders may be connected to the ADL2. Each expander has 8 outputs are available.
The expander outputs can perform all the same functions as the ADL2 outputs.
Expander Communications Setup
Note that the “Expander Outputs ” CAN communications template must be selected in the Communications Setup screen before the ADL2 will send data to the E888 or E816.
Communications Overview
The ADL2 has various communications ports which are used to communicate with other devices.
USB Communications Port
The USB communications port is used to communicate with a PC. See Appendix J: USB Wiring for wiring details.
RS232 Communications Port
The RS232 communications port can be connected to an ECU or similar device and to a Radio Telemetry device. A M oTe C telemetry kit is available which provides high quality data transmission and flexible data display.
• Note that when connected to both an ECU via RS232 and to a Telemetry device, the baud rates of the two devices must be the same (usually 9600 or 19200 baud).
CAN Communications Port
The CAN (Control Area Network) communications port can be connected to other devices with a compatible CAN port. The advantage of CAN is that many devices can be connected to the CAN bus at once, which allows all
MoTeC Overview 21
connected devices to communicate with each other, also the CAN port communicates at very at high speed.
Other M oTe C products that use CAN for intercommunication include the M800, BR2, PLM and MDD.
Note that these devices communicate at 1Mbit/sec, so any other devices connected on the CAN bus must also communicate at 1Mbit/sec.
ECU Connection
The ADL2 can be connected to most Engine Management Systems (ECUs). This avoids duplication of sensors and allows the ADL2 to display and log many ECU parameters.
The ECU may send up to 40 values to the ADL2. The update rate of these values depends on how many values are transmitted, the communications baud rate and if sent using CAN or RS232. For RS232 the typical update rate is about 20 times per second and for CAN it is about 50 times per second. Note that logging the ECU values faster than these rates is unnecessary and will reduce the total logging time.
• Note that if the ADL2 is connected to a M oTe C M800 ECU the M800 sensors should be calibrated in metric otherwise special scaling will be required.
Telemetry
The ADL2 can transmit real time and/or end of lap telemetry data. This allows monitoring of the current vehicle condition, position on the track, lap times, fuel remaining, laps remaining etc.
The real time telemetry data is transmitted continuously.
The end of lap telemetry data is transmitted at a specified time after the lap beacon is detected
• Note that if RS232 ECU communications is used then the telemetry baud rate must be the same as the ECU communications baud rate (normally 9600 or 19200 baud)
• Note that the Telemetry option is required.
22 Overview
Lap Beacon
A Lap Beacon can be connected to the ADL2 in order to record Lap Times for display and to provide lap reference information for the data logging analysis software.
The M oTe C Lap Beacon consists of a Transmitter which is mounted beside the track and a Receiver which is mounted in the vehicle.
Multiple beacon transmitters may also be used to generate split times.
For further details refer to the Lap Beacon manual.
Options
Various options allow the ADL2 to be upgraded to perform additional functions.
The options can be enabled at any time by entering a password.
See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Software
The ADL2 comes with software packages for managing the ADL2, analysing the logged data and monitoring the telemetry link.
The software must be run on an IBM compatible personal computer running Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
The following software programs are provided:
ADL2 Dash Manager
ADL2 Dash Manager is used for configuration, testing, retrieving the logged data and for general management of the ADL2.
An overview of ADL2 Dash Manager is included latter in this manual. For detailed information use the ADL2 Dash Manager help system.
ADL2 Dash Manager communicates with the ADL2 via a USB cable. See Appendix J: USB Wiring for wiring details.
