FRTUCY - Electronics Intro

The document discusses electronics systems in internal combustion engines. It describes the engine control unit (ECU) which reads sensor data, controls injection and ignition timing, and provides features like data logging and traction control. It also discusses the ECU harness that connects sensors and components to power and the ECU, protecting cables. Finally, it covers automotive sensors, data logging, telemetry, data analysis, and competition rules and requirements for electronics systems.

FRTUCY - ELECTRONICS

TEAM
INTRODUCTION
EVAGORAS ARISTOTELOUS
ELECTRONICS OF AN INTERNAL
COMBUSTION ENGINE
ECU (ENGINE CONTROL UNIT)

• Reads data from all engine sensors


• Controls injection and ignition
timing based on the data
• Provides features like:
• Data logging
• Launch control
• Traction control
• Etc
ECU HARNESS
ECU HARNESS

• Connects all sensors and components to power and the ECU


• Protects cables from damage and interference
• Secure and safe restraint of the cables to the vehicle’s body
• Has connectors for easy installation and removal of components
AUTOMOTIVE CABLES

• Different cables for power, signals, sensors


• Insulation offers resistance to heat, oil, fuel
and vibrations
• Must be sized correctly for each
connection, reduced weight
• Shielding and construction must be
accounted for
AUTOMOTIVE
CONNECTORS

• Waterproof and dustproof


• Secure cable holding
SENSORS AND DATA
GATHERING
TYPES OF SENSORS

• Analog: Voltage or current range output


• Digital: Pulsed, Serial, I2C, Canbus, etc
• Some sensors:
• Temperature
• Pressure
• Accelerometer
• Gyroscope
• GPS
• Velocity
• Air Speed
• Weight
• And more!
DATA LOGGING

• Recording sensor values at specific time intervals


• Values from all vehicle sensors
• Can provide valuable information about the vehicle’s performance ( Data
Analysis required)
TELEMETRY

• Transmit data in real-time during a


vehicle’s run
• Requires a transmitter and receiver
• Useful for monitoring performance
and engine health
• Can help make adjustments at the
track
DATA ANALYSIS

• Interpretation of the data logger’s data


• Visualization of data values in a useful way
• Helps detect issues with many elements of the vehicle
• Helps improve performance and make design changes
• Helps design the next generation vehicle
COMPETITION RULES AND
REQUIREMENTS
