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.

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).
Low-Side Outputs (LSO)
The ECM-OH control has 16 low-side outputs (LSOx & SPK8) that can be used as Boolean outputs for driving relays, or some as PWM outputs. LSO1 and LSO2 are also designed to drive the heater coil on a LSU sensor. Some low-side outputs are provided with freewheeling diodes (internal to the ECM-OH through DRVP or BATT) to suppress the back EMF caused by inductive loads. See the ECM-OH datasheet for low-side output capabilities and characteristics.
Injector Ouputs
The ECM-OH control has 6 injector outputs, each capable of driving either low or high impedance injectors. Each injector output can be used as a Boolean output, a PWM output, or as a synchronous or periodic peak and hold injector output.
Spark Outputs
The ECM-OH has 6 IGBT ignition coil drivers each capable of delivering up to 10A of peak dwell current.
H-bridge Outputs
The ECM-OH control has two H-bridge outputs that can be used to drive electric motors, e.g., butterfly throttle valves. H-bridge output 1 is capable of driving up to 10A peak (5A average) in either direction, while H-bridge 2 can drive up to 5A peak (2.5A average). The H-Bridge outputs are provided with freewheeling diodes (internal to the ECM-OH through DRVP) to suppress the back EMF caused by inductive loads.
The following are shared between the main and s12G cores:
- Analog inputs: AN01-05, AN16, AN17, AN18, AN24, AN31, VCAL, KEYSW
- Digital inputs: VR1/DG1 (after mux), DG3, DG4, DG5, DG8, Wake-up (on XIRQ) from main core, reset from main core, main core status

Communications
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.

Recovering the ECM-OH
occasionally, errors in programming may require that the module be recovered with a boot key or boot sequence.
Important: Remove the ECU from all controll connections before attempting to recover the module.
The ECM-OH is different in that it has two microprocessor cores, the Main Core and the Auxillary S12G. The processors are connected on CAN1, so it is important that the baud rate of both processors on CAN1 be the same. The processors must also communicate with MotoTune on different city-id's.
Recovering the Main Processor
The main processor can be recovered with a boot key on pin DG8. The boot key provides a 555Hz, 0-Vbatt, 50% duty cycle square wave on the STOP pin (pin E) of the 10-pin hub. This signal can then be wired to DG8. Alternatively, the main processor can be recovered with the following sequence on the analog inputs: AN3: Pull to +5V AN4: Pull to +5V AN16: Pull to GND AN17: Pull to GND AN18: Pull to +5V
Recovering the S12G Auxillary processor.
The S12G cannot be recovered with a boot key. A boot sequence on the analog inputs of the S12G is required to recover it. AN3: Pull to +5V AN4: Pull to +5V AN16: Pull to +5V AN17: Pull to GND
Notes:
If you are recovering the S12G core of the ECM-OH, you must first program an application into the Main Core that sets CAN1 to be 250kbps. Battery must be toggled before powering up the S12G in Boot mode. Use the following MotoServer Port Configurations when connecting with the ECU. These are the default hardboot settings. ECM-OH main: 250kbps on CAN-1, City ID 0xB (11) S12G: 250kbps on CAN-1, City ID 0x81 (129) The Pre-PV and PV units will ship with a sample application that will connect at 500k on PCM-1 (City-ID 11) or PCM-2 (City-ID 12. Recovering either microprocessor will force it back to it's default hardboot baud rate of 250kbps. So, you must reprogram the other microprocessor with an application to change it to 250kbps.
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.
