Real-time crank timing verification and combustion analysis

For this new and unique feature the MCS5 takes in the signals from the engine's production crank/cam sensors
to produce a high resolution internal crank angle.

The Crank Analyzer window supports the following display modes:
• one engine cycle (720°) plus margines to previous and next cycle
• individual cylinder segment relative to TDC
• cylinder segments merged relative to their TDC

 
 
Technical Details
 
• Internal resolution of 0.05° up to 18.000 rpm
• Crank angle display absolute (720° engine cycle), or relative to individual cylinder TDC
• 8 Digital In- and Outputs (direction configurable by groups of 2), resolution 0.05°
• 8 Analog inputs 12bit, range 0... 5V , resolution 0.5°
 
Reference wheel configurations
 

The crank reference wheel configuration is software-selectable from a list of pre-defined patterns.
The following industry standard 'missing tooth'-configurations are currently available:

• 60 - 2
• 36 - 2
• 24 - 2

For implementations of configurations other than those shown above, please contact us.

 
Engine configuration
 

• Up to 12 Cylinders
• Configurable TDC assignment and firing order
• Configurable offset to missing tooth reference mark
• Programmable cylinder segment trigger pulse

 
Live Demo
 
This simple animation shows the Crank Analyzer in action, requires Adobe Flash Player.

The following signals are shown in each of the three display modes:
• Crank reference wheel tooth pulse
• Cam position sensor pulse
• Ignition coil control pulses (active high logic)
• Injector control pulses (active high logic)
• Cylinder pressure (suggested simulation)
