Introduction to New Eagle Controllers

New Eagle Control Module Naming Scheme

The New Eagle naming scheme is broken into four main parts: type of control module, type of microprocessor, number of pins, and model year & variant. An extra sequence of numbers/letters may be seen at the end which determine certain model features such as flash, calibratible, or mounting feet.

What does this mean?

ECM-565-128-0701-C

• Start by looking at the first section which determines the type of control model. The model in the above example is an ECM (Engine Control Module) as opposed to a GCM (General Control Module), HCM (Hydraulic Control Module), EVM (Electric Vehicle Module), or VCM (Vehicle Control Module)
• The second part describes the type of microprocessor the module has. The above module has a MPC565 Microprocessor.
• The third part shows the number of pins that the module has. The example module has 128 pins.
• The fourth section consists of the model year and the model variant. In the above example, the control model has a model year of 2007 and is the first variant.
• The last section that may appear when naming modules determines certain features that the model may have. 'C' stands for Calibratible - thus the above module is calibratible. Other Endings may include 'F' (Flash), 'M' (Mounting Feet), 'CPO' (Calibratible "DEV" Development Module), and 'F00' (Flash "PROD" Production Module).

Module Naming Quick Cheat Sheet:

Module: ECM-555-80-xxyy-CP0/F00

ECM = engine control module

555 = MPC 555 microprocessor

80= 80 pins

xx = model year (e.g. 07 = 2007 model year)

yy = variant of 80-pin model for xx model year (e.g. 03 = third variant).

-CP0 = calibratable "DEV" development module

-F00 = flash "PROD" production module

The last two letters are important for modules in development, not to be confused with a development module. The letters change as they develop or move from concept to release. The final letters are F00 meaning production.
