MoTeC

Installation

27

The MoTeC M4, M48 & M8 ECUs must be connected via RS232.

Connection via RS232

The telemetry feature of the MoTeC ECU is used to send data to the ADL via
an RS232 connection.

See Appendix J: ECU to ADL Wiring (RS232) for wiring details.

ECU Setup

The ECU ‘Telemetry Set’ and ‘Telemetry Baud Rate’ should be selected to
suit an RS232 communications template supported by the ADL.

ADL Setup

Setup for the ADL is done in the ‘Inputs | Communications’ setup screen, on
the RS232 tab.

Select a communications template that matches the ECU type and ECU
telemetry set.

In the displayed channel list, check those channels that you wish to receive in
the ADL

Interruption of the Data

Note that the data flow to the ADL will be interrupted while a computer is
connected to the ECU and will not resume for up to 10 seconds after the
computer has been unplugged. During this period any value that comes from
the ECU, such as RPM or Engine Temperature will not be updated and will
normally be displayed as zero. On latter versions of the ECU software the 10
second delay is reduced to 1 second.

Connection via CAN

The ADL and ECU must be connected on the same CAN bus.

See Appendix G: CAN Wiring - Multiple Device for wiring details.

ECU Setup

Set the ‘CAN Data Set’ to a set supported by the ADL (normally set 1).

The ‘CAN Address’ must also be set. Normal value for ADL is 1520. This is a
decimal value that corresponds to a hexadecimal value of 0x5F0 in the ADL.
