  • Page 10: Product Description

    Product description 3. Product description 3.1 General The MSW DTI sensor is specifically designed to be used with modern steering wheels of passenger cars and utility vehicles and is applied for non-contact measurement of steering moment, steering angle and steering speed. The MSW DTI sensor offers high dynamics and excellent resolution without impairing steering wheel functions (air- bag) and control elements.

  • Page 11: Functional Principle

    MSW DTI sensors: Measurement steering wheels , Type 5612A... 3.2 Functional principle 3.2.1 Steering torque acquisition Torque values are acquired using a specially designed measuring body equipped with strain gauges. Friction and clearance of the integrated ball bearings do not influence the accuracy of the sensor. Torque applied to the steering wheel is transferred directly through the measuring body and into the steering shaft.

  • Page 37: Firmware Update

    MSW DTI sensors: Measurement steering wheels , Type 5612A... 6.3 Firmware Update Because the sensors are constantly being developed further, it may be necessary to update the firmware. This chapter describes how to do this using KiCenter. Before performing a firmware update, ensure that the data connection between the PC and the sensor, as well as the power supplies to the PC and the sensor, are correct. Interruptions to the communication link, the power supply to the sensor, or a computer crash during the update can cause irreparable damage to the sensor programming.
