Adaptronic e420c

Adaptronic e420c ECU

 

 

Features

Standard ECU features

  • "3D" Fuel and Ignition maps (as on any sophisticated aftermarket ECU)
  • Configurable ignition and injection outputs to suit different applications
  • Inputs for water temperature, air temperature, auxiliary temperature (eg turbo), manifold air pressure, throttle position, knock sensor, EGO (exhaust gas oxygen)
  • Outputs for four injector groups - allows full sequential injection up to 4-cylinders, or semi-sequential injection up to 8- cylinders.
  • Outputs for three igniter groups (four optional) - allows full sequential spark up to four cylinders and wasted spark systems up to 8-cylinders, or any conventional distributor systems.
  • Eight configurable auxiliary outputs - four of which are configurable as high current outputs, three of which are PWM capable.
  • PC interface
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • Eight configurable auxiliary digital inputs
  • Datalogging via 'WARI' PC software

Special Features

  • Adaptive fuel control - with configurable tolerances and loop gains, and conditions under which adaptive behaviour takes place
  • Narrow-band (factory EGO sensor) closed loop fuel control
  • High current programmable outputs - allows direct drive of solenoid valves for boost control, air bypass etc
  • Special function programmable outputs - allows control of anti-pollution purge valves, air conditioners etc
  • Open-loop and closed-loop idle bypass control - allows configuration of increased idle bypass amount based on low battery, electrical load, air conditioner, as well as correction based on RPM
  • Programmable for different crank angle sensor waveforms
  • Open-loop and closed-loop boost control
  • Traction control and launch control
  • Many other features

Actuator Interfaces

Number of injector drivers 4
Injector driver waveforms Full sequential
Batch
Semi-sequential every period or semi-sequential every second period
Half/third/quarter speed full sequential
Fire all at once every cylinder 1 (as on Swift GTi, Alpine Renault)
Optional batch fire during cranking
Injector driver current Optional constant current or peak-hold drive, selectable steady-state current of 0.5A, 0.9A, 1.5A or 1.9A
Number ignition outputs 3 (4 optional)
Ignition output waveforms Selectable as firing on rising edge or falling edge
Ignition output type Open-collector with 560Ohm pull-up (allows direct connection to OEM transistor or separate igniter box)
Number of auxiliary outputs 8: 4 high-current, 4 low-current
High current outputs Max current 7A (or 3A inductive), 3 of these PWM capable, PWM frequency selectable (23Hz - 2kHz)
Low current outputs Max current 200mA - suitable to drive relay coils

Control Characteristics

Map points 512 cells per fuel/ignition map, dual maps which can be toggled with digital input.
Load determination and Tuning Modes

Optional Volumetric Efficiency Tuning

TPS or MAP based
TPS using 2nd map as MAP backup
MAP using 2nd map as TPS backup
Both maps MAP or TPS, digital input to select
MAP and TPS map, digital input to select
MAP and TPS map, use MAP on closed throttle, otherwise TPS
Use max/min/average/sum (MAP, TPS)
Read TPS from map and multiply by value in MAP table

Injector pulse width resolution 0.7µs (0 - 44ms)
Ignition resolution 0.2° (0 - 51°)
Dwell time resolution 0.1ms (0.1ms - 5ms)
Dwell time reduction for high RPM with high dwell time
Accelerator pump TPS and/or MAP based (configurable proportionality) as well as asynchronous accelerator pump.
Works with TPS pot or switch - pot gives better performance
Fuel control strategies Open loop, closed loop, and two adaptive modes (requires EGO sensor) - can run open loop above a specific MAP if required, target AFR can be set across rev and load ranges.
Fuel correction Trim tables based on Coolant Temperature and Air Temperature, Dead-Time correction
Ignition control strategies Trim tables based on Coolant Temperature and Air Temperature
Idle control strategies Open loop values with a 32-entry temperature table
Target idle speeds with 32-entry temperature table
Idle effort correction for air temperature
Idle-up functionality based on A/C request, electrical loads, power steering
Main loop speed 200Hz approx
