Generic Output

The Generic Output function allows for a customised output to be configured in the ECU, where that output type is not directly listed in the system.



Settings

Name - Enter a name that is to be used for the Generic Output. This name will be used when searching for channels throughout the system.

Signal Type - Select the type of output to be controlled.
Duty Cycle - Select when the output will be a mapped duty cycle at a fixed frequency. The only Mode available for this signal type is a Table.
Frequency - Select when the output will be a mapped frequency at a fixed duty cycle. The only Mode available for this signal type is a Table.
Stepper Position - Select when the output will be to control a stepper motor. The only Mode available for this signal type is a Table. Ensure the correct number of wires on the stepper motor is correct.
State - Select when the output will be a simple on-off state. The Mode may be selected as Table or Conditions.
Mode - Select the method of adjustability for the Generic Output.
Table - Allows up to a 3D table to be created for adjustability of this output.
Conditions - Allows ECU channel conditions to be configured to enable or disable the output. Conditions can only be used for State Outputs (on/off)
Input Switch - Allows a switched input to be configured to enable or disable the output.
Override Switch Enable - Allows a switched input to be configured which when active overrides the Generic Output state.

Override Value - The Duty Cycle, State or Frequency that will be output when the Override Switch is active.

Duty Cycle Settings

Available only when Duty Cycle has been configured as the Signal Type. A fixed frequency will be output, and the duty cycle will be mappable.

Frequency - The frequency to be used on the output. This is dependent on the type of solenoid to be used and this information is provided by the solenoid manufacturer.

Frequency Settings

Available only when Frequency has been configured as the Signal Type. A fixed duty cycle will be output, with the frequency being mappable.

Duty Cycle - The duty cycle to be used on the output. This is dependent on the type of device to be controlled and this information is provided by the device manufacturer.

State Settings

Available when State has been configured as the Signal Type. These settings provide a hysteresis time on a state output to prevent repeated switching between on-off.

Min Off Time - When the output has been disabled, it cannot be re-enabled until this amount of time has passed.
Min On Time - When the output has been enabled, it cannot disable until this amount of time has passed.
