CONNECTING THE M1 ECU TO THE PC

Important:

If, during installation or application start-up, you are prompted to allow the M1

software to make changes to your PC, always allow; otherwise PC
communications will not work.

The MoTeC M1 ECU uses an Ethernet connection for communication between the ECU and M1
Tune. This ECU to PC connection uses a standard Ethernet cable, wiring and protocols.

When producing M1 wiring, all Ethernet communications cables must comply with Category 5
cable specifications. This includes wiring used to connect to the M1 ECU connector. MoTeC
have panel mount category 5 Ethernet cables available that are suitable for this application.

Note:

It is recommended that Ethernet cables are wired as crossover from the ECU to
the loom side socket. By doing this, a standard (non crossover) Ethernet cable can
then be used for all communications between the ECU and the PC.
