Settings made in this tab influence the signals of the analog and binary outputs. Please refer to the section Functional Description for more information on the limits you can set.
Ignition reduction limit
Enter the limit beyond which the engine is considered to be knocking. If the value is exceeded, the binary output Engine Knocking is activated and the values assigned to the timing reduction are altered.
Immediate stop limit
Enter the limit beyond which the binary output Trip is activated. This causes the engine to switch off if properly wired.
Decrease ramp
Enter the value for the Decrease ramp. The value specifies the rate at which the timing reduction signal (analog outputs) is disabled as soon as knocking decreases below the Ignition reduction limit.
Timing reduction gain
Enter the value for the Timing reduction gain. This value influences the rate at which the signal of the ignition timing adjustment (analog outputs) is amplified when knocking is detected. This rate equals the mathematical product of the set value and the knocking intensity.
Maximum output value
Enter the value which the signal of the ignition timing adjustment (analog outputs) should be limited to. This setting only takes effect if the checkbox Enable max. output setting is activated.
Delay after load reduction
Enter the delay with which the signal of the ignition timing adjustment is to be reduced when the knocking value falls again below the Ignition reduction limit due to a load reduction.
Reverse analog output
Activate the checkbox to reverse the signal of the analog outputs. A maximum level then indicates no knocking and vice versa.
Enable max. output setting
Activate the checkbox to limit the signal of the analog outputs to the value in the field Maximum output value.
Enable knock LED latch (switch ON/OFF to reset)
Activate the checkbox so that the status display ENGINE KNOCKING remains lit when knocking is detected which falls below the Ignition reduction limit. With this setting, the cylinder which triggered the knocking can still be identified after the engine is shut off. In order to delete the status display, deactivate the checkbox and activate it again.
Enable bad sensor detect
Activate the checkbox so that defective detonation sensors are indicated via the status display BAD SENSOR. This function only detects sensors which provide faulty signals. If a wire has ruptured or a sensor gives no signals for some other reason, it is not indicated on this display. If a defective sensor is detected, the binary output Trip is also activated.
Trip contact inactive (CLOSE, OPEN)
Using this setting, you can specify whether the binary output Trip is open during normal operation and closed when the Immediate stop limit is exceeded (setting: OPEN) or vice versa (setting: CLOSE).
Name of controller
This setting allows you to specify an additional name that will be displayed in the title bar of the software.
