What is a knock sensor and why YOU need one!
Posted by Tony eigenseher on
A knock sensor is a device used in internal combustion engines to detect and prevent engine knock, which can cause damage to the engine if left uncontrolled. Knock, also known as detonation, is an abnormal combustion process that occurs when the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously and uncontrollably, producing a knocking or pinging sound. The knock sensor is typically located on the engine block or cylinder head and is connected to the engine control unit (ECU). The sensor works by detecting the high-frequency vibrations produced by the knock and sending a signal to the ECU. The ECU...
What does PID mean and some of it's uses in a motorsports ECU's?
Posted by Tony eigenseher on
PID stands for Proportional-Integral-Derivative, which refers to a type of control algorithm used in various applications, including industrial automation, robotics, and engineering systems. The PID controller uses feedback from a process or system and calculates the appropriate output based on three parameters - proportional, integral, and derivative. The proportional parameter controls the magnitude of the output in proportion to the error between the process value and the desired setpoint. The integral parameter calculates the accumulated error over time and adds a corrective output to reduce the steady-state error. The derivative parameter measures the rate of change of the error and...

A Power Distribution Module: The Backbone of a Vehicle's Electrical System A Power Distribution Module (PDM) is a critical component of a modern vehicle's electrical system. Acting as a centralized distribution point for electrical power, it simplifies the wiring and connections required for various electrical systems in the vehicle. This results in reduced complexity, enhanced control, and monitoring capabilities, and increased reliability and safety. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of PDMs, the components and types of PDMs, and their installation and maintenance. LINK Razor PDM , Hardwire electronics , Ecu Master pmu16 and MoTec pdm15/30 to name a...

Flex Fuel Capabilities.
Posted by Tony eigenseher on
Did you know all Link ECU’s have Flex Fuel capability? This includes all of our plug-in ECU’s as well, making it a breeze to enjoy the advantages of flex-fuel on any supported engine. All of our ECU’s feature extra Digital Inputs allowing for the easy addition of an Ethanol Content Sensor. Once the ECU is installed, PC Link G4+ software is pre-configured and streamlined for quick, simple flex-fuel integration for up to 100% ethanol (or methanol) with no additional software add-ons or unlocks required. More information can be found under ‘Multi fuel’ in the HELP files on PC Link.
