Firing angle

The size of the firing angle depends on the max. overspeed. The smallest firing angle per output bank can be calculated using the following formula:

Ignition frequency

MIC5:
With full energy output (all 20 ignition outputs with 500 mJ), an ignition frequency of 300 Hz as continuous load is possible. With less ignition energy or in case of a brief overload, 360 Hz is possible. The maximum output load of 180 W must not be exceeded.

MIC5-SE:
With full energy output (all 8 ignition outputs with 500 mJ), an ignition frequency of 120 Hz as continuous load is possible. With less ignition energy or in case of a brief overload, 150 Hz is possible. The maximum output load of 75 W must not be exceeded.

Electrical Data for Inputs and Outputs

The inputs and outputs of the ignition controller have the following electrical data:

Inputs and outputs

Values

Analog current input

Current range: 0 mA to 20 mA (adjustable in MICT)
Input impedance: 27 Ω || 1 µF

Analog voltage input

Voltage range: 0 mA to 10 mA (adjustable in MICT)
Input impedance: 12.4 kΩ || 200 nF

Auxiliary analog input supply voltage

5 V to 24 V/50 mA depending on the configuration in the MICT

Binary input (Start/Stop)

Wiring

Input current: max. 20 mA
Ignition stop: 0 V to 0.8 V (low level)
Ignition release: 2.8 V to 32 V (high level)

Binary input (schedule A/B)

Wiring

Input current: max. 20 mA
Schedule A: 0 V to 0.8 V (low level)
Schedule B: 2.8 V to 32 V (high level)

Binary input (GPI, general purpose input)

Wiring

Input current: max. 20 mA
Low level: 0 V to 0.8 V
High level: 2.8 V to 32 V

(Function dependent on the configuration in MICT, see Inputs/Outputs – Inputs)

Go/NoGo and GPO outputs

One GPO (General Purpose Output) and one Go/NoGo output

Implementation as optical MOSFET relay

Maximum switching voltage: 32 V DC

Peak/steady current: max. 100 mA DC

Output power: max. 2.5 W

Internal resistance: 58 Ω to 60 Ω

Activation delay: 0.5 ms / max. 100 mA load

Deactivation delay: 0.2 ms / max. 100 mA load

If a short is found at the output, a safety circuit, which makes the output highly resistive, is found at the output, so that the current sets itself at 50 mA to 60 mA.

Signal LED

Six LEDs are used as status indicators.

ASO output

TTL level (5 V)
max. current: ± 10 mA

Pickup input

Impedance: 10 kΩ

The voltage supply for active pickup can be set using the MICT from 5 V to 24 V.

Max. frequency for the pickups: 10 kHz

The formula for determining the frequency of the pickups can be found in the note following this table.

For a pickup output impedance of 120 Ω to 10 kΩ, the pickups connected to the MIC5 may not have a higher voltage than ±40 V and the connected power may not exceed 1 W.

Ignition coil outputs

Output voltage: max. 250 V

Output energy in normal operation: max. 500 mJ (depending on the ignition coils used)

Output energy in the start phase (boost): max. 600 mJ

 

Frequency of the pickups

The frequency of the pickup is calculated as per the following formula.
