Inputs/Outputs – ASO1 (Auxiliary Synchronization Output)

Figure: Inputs/Outputs – ASO1

With the auxiliary synchronization output, freely definable impulses depending on the angle of the crankshaft can be generated. For the output, the user defines whether the angle will be absolute or based on the global timing. The output can generate between 1 and 20 impulses and only be assigned to one system at a time. One example of the application of the ASO output for a detonation controller can be found in section ASO: Auxiliary Synchronization Output.

 

Maximum impulse duration

Please note that the duration of the impulse can be entered as max. 300 µs. Input of higher values will not be accepted by the system.

   

ASO signals depending on the ignition release

The setting in the drop down list Angle Reference determines when ASO signals are generated:

  • Actual Angles Depending on Global Timing
    ASO pulses are only transmitted if ignition is active, indicated by the green status display Firing Active in the window Runtime Data – Overview.
  • Absolute Timing
    ASO pulses are generated independently of the ignition release as soon as the synchronization of the pickups is accomplished.
