_____________________________________________________________________________________ Connection to ECU MotronicRT is connected using the Socket-extension cable from the kit: Example for Bosch DME 402, 403, 405 cobrartp.com...

It is necessary to navigate the red or white strip on the cable and the cutout on the socket, which should be on one side! If connected correctly, after on ignition, the “Status” LED on the MotronicRT board should light up. cobrartp.com...

USB-Version MotronicRT (USB) is connected to a PC using a USB type-B cable. MotronicRT can only be connected to a PC, i.e. There is no need to install (connect) the emulator in the ECU, or connect a separate power source.

_____________________________________________________________________________________ If there is no installer in the folder (Windows 10/11), the driver must be installed through the Device Manager: By device (MotronicRT), right-click - Properties - Driver - Update driver. Next, select the folder with the downloaded drivers. After the driver installation is successfully completed, a virtual COM port should appear in the device manager, if there is a connected emulator: View of the device in the device manager upon successful driver installation.

Connection settings will be made using the example of Windows 7 (similarly also in Win XP, Win 8, Win 10). 1. Find the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar, click and add a new Bluetooth device. 2. Select the device found (initially it can be displayed as unknown): cobrartp.com...

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the system defines 2 virtual COM ports. To work with the emulator, only the “Outgoing” COM port number is always necessary. In TunerPRO and CobraRTP Utility, the required COM port is automatically selected.
_____________________________________________________________________________________ Connection check To test the functionality of all MotronicRT variants, you can use the CobraRTP Utility. You can download the latest version on our website in the "Downloads" section. The number of the required COM port will be selected automatically and displayed in the status bar of the program: 1.
_____________________________________________________________________________________ Status indicators The MotronicRT board has LED indicators for the current state of the emulator: Status – emulator status indicator. Mode-1: At the first power-up, the indicator lights up and stays on continuously during operation. Mode-2: When the emulator is connected to the software, the indicator goes out and lights up again only during read, write, verification, tracing (Address hit tracing) operations.

_____________________________________________________________________________________ Analog In There are 3 universal analog inputs on the MotronicRT board that are designed to input analog signals (voltage) into the software, currently TunerPRO RT and CobraRTP utility. Signals can be connected from three independent sources, for example: throttle position sensor (TPS);...
Page 12
The signal conductor (in this case +) can also be connected simultaneously to all 3 channels. Further, to display signals (voltage), you can use the CobraRTP Utility. To do this, open the utility, connect to MotronicRT (see the manual), go to the “Service” -> Analog in -> Start: cobrartp.com...

1. Dashed lines are optional. 2. All names of conductors (terminals) may differ from real ones. 3. Analog inputs do not support pulse signals (speed sensor, RPM sensor, etc.) 4. This function (data Acquisition from analog inputs) is not related to tracing! cobrartp.com...
Before running the emulator in TunerPRO, Nistune or other, you must make sure that the current target software ID corresponds to the program you intend to use (see CobraRTP Utility): To change, you must select the appropriate software in the list and “Apply”...

-For Bluetooth version, after turning off the ignition swich, you need to reconnect to the device in the software and re-connect the trace. - Trace is additional optional and does not guarantee 100% performance of expected results. cobrartp.com...

Select definition file At this step, you must open the definition file that we provide specifically for CobraRTP devices (http://cobrartp.ru/en/downloads). To do this, go to: Acquisition -> Load definition file. After successfully downloading the definition file, the DA system is ready to connect and directly to write parameters from the device inputs.

In the initial case, voltage conversion (V) is used by default, but you can set your own dependence, for example, to obtain the absolute position of the throttle in %. cobrartp.com...

2. The collaboration of logging (DA) and online mode may not be compatible, especially with large amounts of data. 3. To work with the firmware, it is recommended to use the online mode, i.e. partial change of tables (firmware). No need to upload all firmware after changing tables (parameters). cobrartp.com...

(bin) 32kB (most ECUs with ROM type 27s256) - 8000; for 16kB - 4000; for 64kB - 0000. 2. To emulate 16 bit (2 chips) ECUs, you need 2 CobraRTP emulators and an expansion board (дочерняя).

_____________________________________________________________________________________ Dual-Mode MotronicRT allows you to download and use two different firmware (Bin). To do this, a “Dual-mod” jumper is provided on the MotronicRT board, with which the firmware (memory bank) is selected: Upload ROMs Upload firmware in the following order: 1.
2. Always use a high-quality and as short as possible USB cable for reliable system operation. 3. Avoid installing the board in a place with metal objects that could lead to short circuits or voltage supply to unprotected areas of the device. Otherwise, isolate the device reliably from the environment. cobrartp.com...
