Engine – Ignition Outputs

Figure: Engine – Ignition Outputs

Make adjustments to the following settings as needed:

Default Application

If you select from the engine database, the data stored for the selected configuration are displayed. These data can only be changed by personnel with access to the Advanced Service level.

New Engine Configuration

If you have created a new engine configuration on the configuration page Engine – Parameters using the corresponding button, first the number of outputs corresponding to the number of cylinders are distributed to the output bank A and output bank B. Selecting the number of outputs enables access to the fields for the configuration of the outputs. We recommend that you distribute the number of outputs evenly among the output banks and allocate the larger number to the A output bank if the number is uneven.

By default, the ignition outputs are distributed so that cylinder 1 of the firing order is always allocated to output bank A with a firing angle of 0°. The further distribution is implemented by alternating between output bank A and B. The firing angle for each output results from the addition of the firing interval to the respective previous output.

 

Operational safety!

Never connect more than one output to each ignition coil, as the output boards can otherwise be damaged.

 

The allocation of outputs on the output banks to contacts of the output connector of the device and the cylinders is determined by the wiring. The user must take the wiring into account during the configuration; it cannot be checked by the software.

 

Interval between two ignitions

The interval between two ignitions on an output bank must be min. 1.7 ms. During the check, the configured overspeed is used in the calculation.
