MoTeC Introduction 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a MoTeC ADL2 Dash / Logger and/or EDL2
Enclosed Data Logger
ADL2
The MoTeC ADL2 Dash / Logger is a combined LCD dash unit and high
performance data logger.
EDL2
The EDL2 is a model of the ADL2 that is manufactured without a display
screen. Aside from this, it functions in the same way, using the same software
as the ADL2. In the remainder of this manual when reference is made to the
ADL2, it also refers to the EDL2 – except when referring to the display.
This Manual Covers:
•Overview of the ADL2/EDL2s capabilities
•Installation
•Overview of the MoTeC ADL2 Dash Manager software
Software Information
For detailed information on using the various software programs refer to the
online help supplied with the program.
Other Manuals
Separate Manuals are available for:
•MoTeC Lap Beacon / BR2
•Interpreter Data Analysis Software
2 Overview
Overview
ADL2 New Features
The ADL2 replaces the original ADL and includes the following new features.
USB Communications
This allows the ADL to be connected directly to the PCs USB port rather than
requiring the M oTe C CAN Cable which connects to the PCs printer port.
The USB cable may be used for all communications to the ADL.
USB provides much faster logging downloads than the CAN Cable
(approximately 8 times faster)
If desired a M oTe C CAN Cable may be used instead of a USB cable but this
will result in slower communications and requires a PC with a printer port.
16M Log Memory
The ADL2 comes with 16Mbytes of memory with 8Mbytes enabled as
standard.
More Inputs as Standard
30 I/O is standard (50 I/O Optional). See Appendix B: Options Summary for
details.
Higher Resolution Inputs
Eight of the Analog voltage inputs (AV1 to 4 & AV 11 to 14) have higher
resolution which is particularly useful for measuring suspension position.
Note that these inputs have a reduced voltage range of 0 to 5.5V (previously
0 to 15V)
Dual Expanders
The ADL2 supports two E888 or E816 expanders allowing significant
expansion of the number of inputs and outputs.
MoTeC Overview 3
Additional CAN Templates
The ADL2 provides ten additional CAN templates.
Independent Speed Inputs
All four speed inputs may be independently designated as hall or magnetic
(rather than in pairs).
More User Tables
The ADL2 has sixteen 2D tables and sixteen 3D tables.
Increased Processing Performance
The ADL2 has increased processing performance to handle more demanding
applications.
ADL Pin Compatibility
An ADL2 may be connected to an existing ADL wiring loom and will
communicate using the existing CAN communications if required or USB
communications can be added.
The ADL2 is directly pin compatible with the ADL except that pin 78 (RS232
TX) is used for USB. RS232 TX is still available but is shared with pin 67
(Telem).
4 Overview
Display
The ADL2 display is a high contrast, high temperature, custom made LCD
display.
The display contains a Bar Graph, three Numeric Displays, a Centre Numeric
Display and a Bottom Alpha / Numeric Display.
Bar Graph
The 70 segment bar graph has a user definable range and is typically used as
a tacho, however it can be used to display any other value. When used as a
tacho it may be configured for up to 19,000 RPM.
A fully programmable shift point can be displayed, which can also be gear
dependent.
The operation of the bar graph can be different for each of the display modes
(Race Practice and Warmup), this allows a lower range to be used in Warmup
mode.
MoTeC Overview 5
Numeric Displays
The three numeric displays (Left, Right and Top Right) can be programmed to
display any value, which may be different for each of the display modes
(Race Practice and Warmup).
Note that each of the three numeric displays has a different number of digits
and are therefore suited to displaying different values. Fox example the Top
Right display can only show values up to a maximum of 199 and is therefore
not suitable for displaying Lap Times, but is suitable for displaying many other
values such as Lap Number of Fuel Remaining, Engine Temperature etc.
The numeric displays can show any channel value plus up to two override
values, which are shown each time their value is updated, this is useful for
values that are updated periodically, for example Lap Time. The override
values are shown for a programmable period of time, for example a numeric
display could normally show the Running Lap Time (which is continuously
updating) then be overwritten by the Lap Time for 10 seconds each time the
Lap Time is updated.
Enunciators for some of the common display values are provided above the
numeric displays, eg. ET (Engine Temperature), OP (Oil Pressure).
Centre Numeric Display
6 Overview
The Centre Numeric display is incorporated to show the current gear but may
be used for other purposes.
Bottom Display
The 13 digit alpha numeric display can display up to 20 lines of information
that can be scrolled up or down using the external buttons. Each of the 20
lines can display up to 3 channel values at a time.
The values shown may be different for each of the three display modes.
Additionally the bottom display can show up to four override values, similar to
the numeric displays.
The bottom display will also show any active alarm messages, which will
override all other values until the alarm is cleared.
Display Modes
The display has three main modes of operation, Race, Practice and Warm
Up.
Warm Up
MoTeC Overview 7
The warm up display is used to display important engine sensor readings
during engine warm up, eg, RPM, Battery Voltage, Engine Temperature, Oil
Pressure, Oil Temperature & Fuel Pressure.
The bottom display may be used display many other values that may need
checking during warm up.
Practice
The practice display is used to display basic information, plus information to
help the driver improve lap times, eg. Lap Time, Lap / Gain Loss, Maximum
Straight Speed, Minimum Corner Speed or Corner Exit Speed.
The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed.
Race
The race display is normally used to display minimal information, eg RPM,
Lap Time, Fuel Remaining or Laps Remaining.
The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed.
8 Overview
Display Formatting
Units
The display units can be changed to suit the driver, for example the driver
may prefer to see the engine temperature in Fahrenheit rather Celsius. This is
independent of the units used for other purposes.
Decimal Places
The number of decimal places can be reduced for display purposes, for
example the engine temperature is measured to 0.1 °C but is better displayed
with no decimal places. This is normally done automatically.
Alarms
When an alarm is activated a message is shown on the bottom line of the
display, a warning light can also be activated which is recommended to draw
the drivers attention to the display.
The message displayed can be defined and can also include the current
sensor reading or the sensor reading when the alarm was triggered.
The alarms remain active until they are acknowledged, either by a driver
activated switch or automatically after a defined period of time.
The warning alarm limits are fully programmable and may include up to 6
comparisons to ensure that the alarms are only activated at the correct time.
For example, an engine temperature alarm may activate at 95 °C if the
ground speed has been above 50 km/h for 30 seconds. The speed
comparison avoids the alarm showing during a pit stop due to heat soak.
Additionally another comparison could be set at a higher temperature to cover
all other situations.
