ECM-564x-112

The ECM-OH is a nice addition to the MotoHawk engine control line-up. It is a 24V engine controller for on-road applications.

The module is capable of full authority digital engine control (FADEC) consisting of fuel, spark, and air delivery to the engine. Additional inputs and outputs are available to control other system functions, as defined by software. This unit provides 112 connector pins with inputs, outputs, and communications interfaces that support a wide variety of applications.

The ECM-OH is part of the MotoTron Control Solutions ControlCore® family of embedded control systems. The ControlCore operating system, MotoHawk® code generation product, and MotoHawk’s suite of development tools enable rapid development of complex control systems.

Each controller is available in ‘F’ (Flash) or ‘C’ (Calibratible) versions. Flash modules are typically used for production purposes. Calibratible modules are typically for prototyping/development only; they can be calibrated in real time using MotoTune® or ToolKit.

Compiler Information

S12 micro (the saftey processor) requires Freescale Codewarrior 4.6.

The MPC5XXX micro uses either the GCC eabi SPE 4.6, or GHS 4.2.1 and 4.2.4.

Analog Inputs (AN1-AN34)

Analog Inputs (AN1 – AN34) There are 34 analog inputs on the ECM-OH. The analog inputs have either a pull-up resistor as shown in Figure 2-12, or a pull-down resistor as shown in Figure 2-13. Five analog inputs have a software pull-up or pull-down selection via calibration. AN21 & AN30 share a common control line for the 1k or 11k selection, designed for EGT sensor diagnostics. All the analog inputs have a single-pole filter with a 1 ms time constant, except for Analog Input 5, which is reserved for a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor and has a 0.24 ms time constant.

The Analog inputs are 12-Bit ADC

Crank and CAM inputs

The Cam and Crank (CNK) inputs are used to detect engine speed and angular position relative to TDC. The ECM-OH has CAM and Crank sensor inputs that can be connected to either a cariable reluctance magnetic pick-up sensor (VR-MPU), or to a Hall-effect proximity switch. Each type of input ha dedicated connector pins. See the ECM-OH datasheet for additional detail.

Digital Inputs

The ECM-OH has 8 discrete inputs. Some may be used as switch inputs, others support frequency measurements.

Lambda Sensor Unit (UEGO) Inputs

The ECM-OH control has two LSUs (Lambda Sensor Units) also known as UEGO (Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen) inputs, which interface with Bosh LSU 4.9 wide range oxygen sensors (Lambda sensors).

Watchdog Function

The ECM-OH will have an ETC monitoring microprocessor and the main power supply will have a HW watchdog that needs to be tickled by the main core processor.

Flexible Encoder

The ECM-OH will work with the flex encoder.

MotoHawk Compatibility

The ECM-OH is compatible with MotoHawk 2012b or later only. No older MotoHawk.

Datasheet Errata

The Datasheet says there are 8 injectors, 6 of which are peak-hold. This plan was the initial production intent, but it has changed. All production releases will only have 6 peak-hold injectors.

Availability

Calibratible versions are available now. Flash or production will be available in 2Q2013.
