Assembled, cased GenBoard v3.x (note: HW functionality changes since v3.0 to v3.7 are marginal, though useful for a small percentage of users: only the auditrigger onboard 3-trigger setup and the new onboard auditrigger camHALL-inverter. So no dedicated software or installation instructions changes ).
It is basically:
- GenBoard v3.6
- stepper driver (mounted)
- EC36pin23 used as flyback (as you know, flyback must be connected to the injector_common+ signal directly to protect the controller's injector outputs)
- EC36pin22 connected as an extra GND5. Ground pins (EC36pin5, EC36pin21, EC36pin32, EC36pin22 and EC36pin26 signal GND) must be connected to each other with short, 0.1m (0.75 .. 1.5 mm2 thick) wires (and than with strong shared wire to batt- or chassis ground). If the controller is powered through the sensor-GND only (EC36pin26) because the GND5 signals are not connected properly (or connection breaks during operation), the ECM will be damaged.
- 10 FET-driven power outputs: the 8 "injector driver", that includes flyback, and can be configured for other functions: drive relay, solenoid, etc...+2 WBO2 heater driver that can also be configured for a variaty of functions, but care is needed, since it does not have onboard flyback (good for WBO2 heater, lamp or LED, but must not drive inductive load)
- EC36-PCB
- EC18-PCB
- Alubos1600 + screws
- 2xAlubos gaskets
- CNC-d Alubos (2 part) frontplate
- CNC-d Alubos endplate
- 3xclamping plates + screws
- insulator sheet
- more complete testing
- RS232 connected to EC18-pin14 (=DSUB9 pin 3) ; EC18-pin15 (=DSUB9 pin2) and of course EC36-pin26 GND (=DSUB9 pin5). Flying loom RS232 is requestable if max 2 other extras of PS2, LCD, MAP, EGT requested.
- EC18pin6 is set up for electronic MAP signal when no onboard MAP sensor is used. Otherwise EC18pin6 set up for MCP3208 extra-ADC input (often channel6 or 7)
- EC18pin12 is set up for secondary_trigger VR when auditrigger is ordered. Otherwise EC18pin12 set up for MCP3208 extra-ADC input (often channel7 or 6)
- EC18pin16: 1-wire can be used with the Dallas/Maxim "iButton security" (fancy antitheft touchon button). When 1-wire option is not selected: set up for MCP3208 extra-ADC input (often channel5 or 6 or 7) (extra analog inputs are very useful). With 1-wire=no and SDcard=yes, besides the protected mcp3208 analog input, ec18/pin16 is also connected (after 2011-02-18) as "RX2 input for GPSlogging". This way a wired RS232 GPS can be logged from UART2RX while first UART (normal RS232 serial port) sends "AIM"-data to one or more round-displays, or talks to notebook. Having GPS and time data in the logs is quite awesome. With 1-wire=yes UART2 is used up, and the GPS can be connected to normal serial port only: that can be logged to SDcard as well, but than sending "AIM"-data to round-displays at the same time as receiving GPS-data is limited because of low GPS baudrate
- primary trigger: EC36pin27 set up for VR. Optionally EC36pin27 (same pin) setup for HALL for no extra charge
Secondary trigger options (also effects if EC18pin12 is trigger input - as for auditrigger - or generic, unprotected 0-5V analog input in other cases):
- HALL: EC36pin13 set up for HALL. Good if secondary trigger sensor is HALL or optical type (common even where primary trigger sensor is VR). Also good choice if you do not want to use the secondary trigger (as most even-fire setups). EC18pin12 is an mcp3208 analog input (usually channel 7 or 6 or 5).
- VR (new option, not same as auditrigger!!!) EC36pin13 is setup for VR input. EC18pin12 is an mcp3208 analog input (usually channel 7 or 6 or 5)
- AudiTrigger standard (with camsync inverter since orderid 3267, 2009-06-21): secondary trigger VR signal must be connected to EC18pin12 (or secondary trigger disabled in software). EC36pin13 can be pulled to ground (either in a VR-only setup, or running with a broken HALL sensor a "limp-home mode"). With auditrigger configuration, using only the EC36pin13 HALL input for secondary trigger will not work.
- AudiTrigger noCamsyncInverter (OBSOLETE): secondary trigger VR signal must be connected to EC18pin12. EC36pin13 can be left open (either in a VR-only setup, or running with a broken HALL sensor a "limp-home mode"). With auditrigger configuration, using only the EC36pin13 HALL for secondary trigger will not work.
Ignition driver options:
2 types of ignition transformers ("coil") are in use: traditional (=plain) coils require power outputs (6..8A current !) and high voltage capability (appr. 400V, achieved with IGBT). On the other hand, active coils have internal drivers, and require logic-level signals (0 / 5V with very low current: 4 cyl wasted spark modules from GM, VAG and other manufacturers are becoming common, and active coil-on-plug COP-s too ). Some (or all) of the 8 onboard ignition channels are configured with power stage (slight extra cost), and the rest configured with logic-level outputs. In a given install, only one type of coil is used; However, since usually only 2 channels are used for a 4cyl setup, 3 channels for a 6 cyl and 4 channels for an 8 cyl setup (the common "wasted spark" configuration), with a controller that has both types of ignition outputs, the type of transformer(s) can easily be changed later:. Use the EC36.. output pins that match your coiltype (traditional coil with powerlevel input or activecoil with logiclevel input) and configure the (h[2]=..) ignition sequence. click here for details.
- 8: all 8 ignition channels are configured with powerful driver (IGBT). (0 logic-level output). This is recommended for 8 cyl fully sequential (non-wasted-spark) ignition with traditional coils (coil without driver). Also popular for 5 cyl setups and 6cyl COP install. Note that some old tachometer (RPM) gauges need an extra IGBT output, see inductor item (in category Genboard/Testing).
- 6+2: 6 IGBT + 2 logic-level : Suitable for upto 12cyl wasted spark, upto 6 cyl fully sequential ignition, while also suitable for the 4cyl active wasted spark modules
- 4+4: 4 IGBT + 4 logic-level output
- 2+6: 2 IGBT + 6 logic-level output
- 0: 0 IGBT + 8 logic-level output (useful for 8cyl fully sequential with active coils)
Options:
- LCD flying loom DSUB9 connection, the new pinout (not the old; check here) this is just the ECM-side connection: LCD is a separate item, can be purchased separately,
- PS2:with "no PS2", wheelspeed signal is available on EC18 pin
- Onboard MAP means 250kPa MPX4250AP or 400kPa MPXH6400 sensor mounted onboard with frontplated mounted standard pneumatic (vacuum bearable) 6/4mm connector. Simplenipple is 4.5mm diameter brass nipple (with beak, like motronic, for rubber hose). Offboard MAP means that EC18pin6 is MAP input (0..5V, offset and gain calibration configurable in firmware).
- EGT: means: EGT is through flying-loom compensational cable.
- Knock signal: EC18/1 (knock1); EC18/2 (knock2, only if dual-knock option selected). Knock GND: EC18/17 (also used for RS232 GND, internally connected to EC36pin26).
- mounting style=screws is by default 2 M5 or M6 screws stickout from the Alubos 71mm apart that can be used for mounting. If the standard 71mm distance is not the best for your app, write your wish in the order note (prefer metric screws, we might not be able to service non-metric or in the best case with delay).
To connect the ECU to the application, you will also need:
Make sure you specify trigger in the order note if standard is not appropriate for your setup. If you have doubts, or think further discussion is useful, please refer (with URL) from the order note to your wiki page under MembersPage.
The controller comes unclamped by default (this allows final testing, review and any customizations on site with shorter disassembly time). This requires clamping the 3 clamping plates with 6 screws, and 4+4 screws for the frontplate and endplate. Clamping is done on request for no extra charge.
