MoTeC ACL VIM - Manual (Page 37)

MoTeC Installation & Configuration 33
The other inputs can be used for potentiometers, voltage output
devices and 2-wire variable resistance sensors.
Note 2-wire variable resistance sensors require a pull-up resistor to be
connected. This can be achieved by connecting one of the pull-up
resistor pins to the required input pin.
Refer to the Measurement Inputs section for more detail on sensors
and input types.
CAN Bus Limits
If using multiple VIMs and fast logging rates, it may be necessary to put
some VIMs on one CAN bus and some on the other to avoid exceeding
the CAN bus bandwidth limit.
The ACL Manager will warn if the bandwidth is likely to be exceeded.
Refer to Appendix F: CAN Bus Bandwidth Limit for details.
VIM Setup
All configuration is done using ACL Manager - There is no separate
configuration program for the VIM.
ACL Setup
Inputs Setup
Using ACL Manager, select Inputs | ACL connections, then in the
Connections screen select Edit | Add to add a VIM to the devices list
and enter the device's serial number and CAN bus number in the
Connection Properties screen.
The various inputs can then be assigned to a channel and calibrated.
Communications Setup
There is no need to configure the communications section of the ACL;
this is done automatically if the VIM is configured.
VIM Firmware
ACL Manager will automatically update the firmware version in the VIM if
necessary, when sending the configuration to the ACL.
