MoTeC ECU Manager - Software Release Notes

Welcome

This is ECU Manager Version 3.41G2. Click here to see the changes made in this release.

ECU Manager is a fully integrated, 32-bit Windows application for configuring and tuning the M400, M600, M800 and M880 ECU range.

ECU Manager Version 3 keeps the well-proven, familiar user-interface used by previous versions of ECU Manager, but introduces substantial all-new functionality and vast improvements to existing functionality. It is recommended that you thoroughly familiarise yourself with these changes (by reading this document and by experimenting with the software offline) before using it on a live engine.

IMPORTANT NOTES WHEN UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2 (or older)

V3 includes major changes to the operation of many of the ECU’s functions, as a consequence the upgrade process may not be able to convert these functions perfectly.

INITIAL ENGINE TESTING WITH VERSION 3 SOFTWARE SHOULD PROCEED WITH CAUTION, PARTICULARLY FOR TURBOCHARGED OR NITROUS ENGINES

Before Upgrading

Before upgrading the ECU, ensure that you have a copy of the ECU’s current configuration on disk, this is in case you need to revert to the old version of software.

Upgrading

Upgrading the ECU takes longer than for previous versions and may take up to 10 minutes (typically less than 2 minutes). Please be patient - do not disconnect the communication cable or power down the ECU during the upgrade process.

During the upgrade it is recommended that Ignition modules are disconnected as there is a risk of overheating. Caution should also be exercised with other output devices as they may turn on during the upgrade. If using power hold relays they may need to be forced on as the relay may shut off as the upgrade begins.

Notes on the Upgraded Configuration

  • Boost Control, Idle Control, Traction Control and Nitrous

    These functions have all had major changes and improvements, all parameters and tables for these functions should be checked thoroughly and testing of these functions should be performed cautiously.

  • Inputs

    The configuration of the sensor inputs has changed significantly. Check that the Input setup has been converted correctly by checking that all sensors read correctly.

  • Cold Start Parameters

    The Cold Start parameters are no longer available, instead starting is now controlled with the Engine Temp Comp, Cranking Comp and Post Start Comp tables. The upgrade process will convert the old parameters into the equivalent values for these tables.

  • Acceleration Enrichment

    The Fuel Acceleration Enrichment Sensitivity & Decay factors no longer exist. The Fuel Acceleration setup is now done exclusively with tables. The upgrade process will convert the old parameters into the equivalent values for the tables.

  • Mandatory Tables

    A number of tables that were previously optional MUST now be filled in. Note that these tables should already have been filled in by the upgrade process. The tables are:
    • Injector Bat Comp (General Setup | Fuel)
    • Ignition Dwell (General Setup | Ignition)
    • Lambda Characteristic (Sensor Setup | Wideband Lambda Setup)
    • REF Filter Table (Sensor Setup | REF/SYNC Sensor Setup)
    • SYNC Filter Table (Sensor Setup | REF/SYNC Sensor Setup)

  • Table Axis Setup

    The table site setup is now done individually for most tables. Also the channel that is used for each axis is selectable. Check that the upgrade process has set the sites correctly for all tables and that the correct channel is assigned to each axis of the table.

  • Nitrous

    Nitrous users should note that the "Nitrous Offset" parameter no longer exists. Instead, a table MUST be generated to supply the correct fuel at each RPM point as it is now % of IJPU instead of % of total fuel flow.

  • Digital Input Channels

    The channels Digital Input Speed 1, 2, 3 and 4 no longer exist. If using the ECU in conjunction with an MoTeC dash logger the following channels we be sent instead: Ground Speed, Right Ground Speed, Left Drive Speed, and Right Drive Speed. To have these channels appear correctly at the dash logger the CAN comms must be modified or an updated CAN template must be used.

System Requirements

Installation

Run the installation package. You do not need to uninstall older versions of ECU Manager. The installation process automatically determines whether to install alongside (co-exist), upgrade or downgrade any version already installed on the system.

Known Issues

Communications

All communications is done via Parallel Port using the MoTeC CAN Cable or via USB using the MoTeC UTC.

USB driver installation document

Do not connect any MoTeC USB devices to the PC until you have installed ECU Manager.

Help! I connected a device before installing ECU Manager. See USB Troubleshooting.

Tables / Site Setup

User Assignable Axis Channels and Values

Almost any channel from the list of channels that can be logged (no error/status channels) can be assigned to the axis of any table. The axis points can also be set individually for almost all tables. To set the axis channels and values select "Axis Setup" from the Tools menu (or press 'A')

More Tables / Axis Selection

Many tables have been upgraded from 2D to 3D tables to give more flexible tuning, however in many cases this added complexity is not needed and the 3D table can be used as a 2D table by turning off the Y Axis.

Also some single value setup parameters have been converted to either a 2D or 3D table. In this case they can still be used as a single parameter by turning both the X and Y axis off.

Axis Import

When importing a table the axis values and axis channel settings will be imported also.

Input Setup

The channel assignments, calibration, warning alarm levels, defaults, filtering, min/max diagnostics and calibration tables are now incorporated into one setup screen.

Added min/max diagnostic levels for all channels.

Added filtering for all channels.

The input system can now accept data from sources other than the analog inputs as follows: Digital Inputs, TCM, E888/816 Expander, ADL, MDD Wheel, 12xPLMs or a 2nd ECU

Outputs

Ability to use a MoTeC E888 or E816 Expander to increase the number of outputs (up to eight extra).

Fuel Injection

4D Fuel Tables

4D Fuel Tables can be used to map the fuel against any three channels - typically RPM, Throttle and Manifold Pressure.

The 4D fuel tables are turned on in General Setup | Main Setup

Fuel: Injector Battery Comp

The Injector battery compensation has been moved to the “General Setup | Fuel” menu - NOTE: The battery comp table MUST be filled in as this replaces the old single parameter setup value.

Accel / Decel

Accel and Decel tables are now 3D.

The two setup parameters have been removed - use the tables instead.

Accel or Decel may cause either Enrichment or Enleanment (General Setup | Fuel)

The accel source channel may be selected (General Setup | Miscellaneous Setup)

Cold Start

Removed all cold start parameters. These have been replaced with the new Cranking & Post Start comp tables (and the existing ET Comp). Cold Accel enrich can be achieved using the 3D Accel tables and setting one of the axis to Engine Temp.

When an old configuration file is upgraded these tables are initialised with values that provide an approximation of the old cold start parameters.

Gear Detection: a value of zero in the Delay Time parameter now means zero. (Previously meant 10ms.)

Lambda Control

New parameter: Activate Engine Temp - replaces Lo/High Engine Temp parameters

Lambda Rate, Lambda Step, Lambda Inc (Narrowband only) - replaces the Lambda Low Control Rate, High Control Rate and Max Duty Cycle parameters

Narrowband closed loop Lambda Control disabled while nitrous active

Resultant Aim Lambda (after compensations applied) no longer allowed to go negative

Aim Lambda values less than 0.500 will disable closed loop Lambda Control

Traction Control

All new Traction Control system . New power reduction methods: DBW or Ignition Retard + Ignition cut. Uses PID control with table control of the gain.

Cam solenoid now shuts down one second after no-cam signal received.

Cam measuring Ref/Sync modes no longer read relative sync position.

Digital Inputs

Speed Measurement

Speed measurement no longer feeds the Dig Speed 1..4 channels (these channels have been deleted). Instead the Digital Inputs are assigned to channels in the new input calibration system. for example the Left Ground Speed channel might be assigned to the Dig Input 1 source. This allows channels such as the wheel speed channels to be used more generically - for example they may come from a source such as the E888.

Pulse & Period Measurement

Changed as per speed measurement above
