Communication

4 CAN

Inputs

4 Analog channels
0 to 5 V,
0.5 % precision between 0.2 and 4.8 V, switchable pull-up

4 Digital PWM inputs

excitation voltage 0 to 5 V (rms)

Outputs

4 “TTL” Digital output, 10 kHz, PWM, 25 mA each

2 PWM High side; 7.5 A each, PWM, 50 Hz

4 PWM Low side; 2.2 A each, PWM, 10 kHz

Power Supplies

5 x12 V, 400 mA each

5 switchable 5 V/12 V, 400 mA each

** The tooth count differential between any two of the PWM inputs is available to measure e.g., shaft torsion.

6 ANA

0 to 5 V, 200 kHz logging rate

Enables CCP/XCP master functionality to request data from foreign devices via CAN/CCP protocol, XCP over Ethernet (UDP) or XCP via CAN.
(ASAP2 file from ECU manufacturer required)

Enables the VCU to operate as a real time Ethernet master or slave. Guaranteed latency time of 1 ms. Ideal for time critical data transfer as needed in online control algorithms involving data from different devices.
Two interfaces allow for a ring topology (redundancy in case the RTE line experiences damage).
The VCU features a reasonable set of SERCOS3 instructions although not the full SERCOS3 standard is implemented. The ECU side can act as a SERCOS3 master; the logger side can act as a SERCOS3 slave.
