The CAN bus is used for PC communications during testing, calibration and firmware upgrades, and for
communicating to the ECU.

The following data is transmitted by the DBW-4 at 200Hz:

Measured Values 1 & 2 for each PID (AV1-AV8)

Measured Value 1 with PID diagnostic information.

The following data is transmitted by the DBW-4 at 50Hz:

Output driver faults

Internal temperature

Internal voltages (-5v, 8vAux, 5vAux, Vbat, 4.5v)

DBW-4 status flags

DBW-4 firmware version

The following data is received by the DBW-4 from the ECU:

PID1 to PID 4 set points


Firmware Upgrades

At times MoTeC may release firmware upgrades for the DBW-4 Units. Upgrades are performed over the CAN bus
using a MoTeC CAN cable and the MoTec DBW-4 Manager Software. See the section DBW-4 Configuration for
more information. Currently the MoTec DBW-4 Manager Software does not support the MoTeC UTC.
