MoTeC Operation 27
Internal Sensors
The various measurement devices may also contain internal sensors.
For example, most devices measure battery voltage and internal
temperature. They may also measure other internal voltages for
diagnostic purposes and, in the case of the SDL, an internal
accelerometer is included.
Auxiliary Outputs
The ACL has no auxiliary outputs itself, but it can control the auxiliary outputs
of the connected devices, such as ADL2, SDL, E888, E816.
These outputs may be used to control various vehicle functions such as:
Warning Lights, Thermatic Fan, Gear Box Oil Pump, etc.
Items such as Thermatic Fans or Pump Control should be setup using the
user conditions or the general purpose tables. There is no specific setup item
for these types of devices.
Refer to the Installation and Configuration section for more information.
Refer to the device specifications for details on the characteristics of its
outputs.
Communication Ports
The ACL has various communications ports which are used to communicate
with other devices.
Ethernet Communications Port
The Ethernet communications port is used to connect the ACL to a PC which
allows configuration of the ACL and unloading of the logged data.
For more detail refer to the PC Communications via Ethernet section
CAN Communications Ports
The ACL has two independent CAN (Control Area Network) Communications
ports that can be connected to other devices with a compatible CAN port. The
bus speed for each interface can be set independently.
The advantage of CAN over other communication ports such as RS232, is
that many devices can be connected to the CAN bus at one time, which
