Number of Banks

Select the number of banks that the engine has. This is to let the Elite ECU know how many intake cams and how many exhaust cams are to be controlled.

Mode

Select whether the Intake Only cams, the Exhaust Only cams, or both the Intake and Exhaust cams are to be controlled.

Solenoids Per Camshaft

Select whether there are 1 or 2 solenoids per camshaft

Intake and Exhaust Cam Inputs

Select an appropriate input wire, typically either the Home or an SPI (Synchronised Pulsed Input), that will be wired to the selected cam position sensor. Each variable cam must have a position sensor so the ECU knows it’s position.

Intake and Exhaust Cam Outputs

Select an appropriate output wire, typically a DPO (Digital Pulsed Output) that will be connected to your Cam Control Solenoid. Each variable cam will have a solenoid to control position.

Active State

Controls the whether the output to the solenoid is normal or inverted. Low will ground the output wire when the output is set to be On. Setting to High will invert this signal, with the output wire being grounded when the output is set to be Off, and not grounded when it is set to be On. (Default = Low)

Reset

Resets all values in the long term trim table to 0

Apply to base Table

Applies the values in the long term trim table to the Base Table

Target Angle

The Intake Cam Angle to be targeted by the Cam Control. Many engines will typically use more advance in the middle RPM ranges, and less advance at low or high RPM ranges. This needs to be found with the use of a dyno. Up to 4D mapping is available.

Intake 1 Base Duty Cycle

The amount of Duty Cycle that is required on the Bank 1 Intake Cam solenoid to hold the Bank 1 Intake Cam on the targeted position. Up to 3D mapping is available. This is found by monitoring the Cam Control Intake Bank 1 Output channel while holding the engine at approximately 2000 to 3000RPM (to ensure full oil pressure supply) and commanding a Target Angle other than zero. When the cam moves to the targeted angle and is stable, the amount of duty cycle that was required should be entered into the Intake 1 Base Duty Cycle table. If the Base Duty Cycle when set too low can cause delayed response in moving to the Target Angle, or when set too high can cause overshooting of the Target Angle.

Intake 2 Base Duty Cycle

The amount of Duty Cycle that is required on the Bank 2 Intake Cam solenoid to hold the Bank 2 Intake Cam on the targeted position. Up to 3D mapping is available. This is found by monitoring the Cam Control Intake Bank 2 Output channel while holding the engine at approximately 2000 to 3000RPM (to ensure full oil pressure supply) and commanding a Target Angle other than zero. When the cam moves to the targeted angle and is stable, the amount of duty cycle that was required should be entered into the Intake 2 Base Duty Cycle table. If the Base Duty Cycle when set too low can cause delayed response in moving to the Target Angle, or when set too high can cause overshooting of the Target Angle.

Proportional, Integral and Derivative Gain

This allows mapping of the PID system, which controls the responsiveness of the Intake Cam Control system. In simple terms the Proportional controls how fast the system will respond relative to how far it is from the target. The Integral is how aggressive the Proportional changes are. Derivative is used to slow down overshooting the target if the Proportional has been aggressively tuned. Up to 3D mapping is available for all PID tables. Typically for Cam Control the Proportional will be in the 150 to 1000 range, the Integral will be around half of the Proportional, and a little Derivative, from 5 to 20, is required to prevent the large Proportional from causing overshooting of the target. These values are found from experimentation and will vary from engine to engine.

Overall Correction

Active only when Enable Intake Overall Corr is ticked. This allows for quick adjustment of the Intake Cam Target Angle which can be helpful for tuning experimentation.

Target Angle

The Exhaust Cam Angle to be targeted by the Cam Control. Many engines will typically use more retard in the very low RPM ranges, less retard in the middle RPM ranges, and a little more retard at very high RPM. This needs to be found with the use of a dyno. Up to 4D mapping is available.

Exhaust 1 Base Duty Cycle

The amount of Duty Cycle that is required on the Bank 1 Exhaust Cam solenoid to hold the Bank 1 Exhaust Cam on the targeted position. Up to 3D mapping is available. This is found by monitoring the Cam Control Exhaust Bank 1 Output channel while holding the engine at approximately 2000 to 3000RPM (to ensure full oil pressure supply) and commanding a Target Angle other than zero. When the cam moves to the targeted angle and is stable, the amount of duty cycle that was required should be entered into the Exhaust 1 Base Duty Cycle table. If the Base Duty Cycle when set too low can cause delayed response in moving to the Target Angle, or when set too high can cause overshooting of the Target Angle.

Exhaust 2 Base Duty Cycle

The amount of Duty Cycle that is required on the Bank 2 Exhaust Cam solenoid to hold the Bank 2 Exhaust Cam on the targeted position. Up to 3D mapping is available. This is found by monitoring the Cam Control Exhaust Bank 2 Output channel while holding the engine at approximately 2000 to 3000RPM (to ensure full oil pressure supply) and commanding a Target Angle other than zero. When the cam moves to the targeted angle and is stable, the amount of duty cycle that was required should be entered into the Exhaust 2 Base Duty Cycle table.
