    To do this, loosen the four screws that hold the back plate, then remove the board and read the revision on it. In Chapters 2 you will find the assignment of the revision number to the variant of the MCE18. For version 3 devices, this is engraved on the case (V3).

    0.8b – present Firmware: MCE18v0.9XX The MCE18 has analog inputs (AIN – analog input), digital inputs (DIN – digital input) and digital outputs (AUX – auxiliary output). The inputs are placed on the Can bus as 0-1023 ADC values. An internal mapping of the values has not yet been implemented.
  • Page 6 Verification and setup are done through the DSS. The DSS must be downloaded and installed for use. The download is free of charge at https://www.canchecked.de/downloads-category/dss-display-setup-software/. The DSS is available for Win32, Win64 and MacOS. The following manual only partially covers V1 devices. These can NOT be connected to the DSS. V2 and V3 devices can be connected to the DSS without any problems.

    MCE18 - Multifunction Can Bus Extension > Displays for Engine Management (canchecked.de) To connect the MCE18 to the PC via USB, the 4 wires of a USB cable must be pinned into the Superseal connector. As of board revision 0.8b, there is a redundant microUSB port on the board. To get to it, the MCE18 must be disassembled.

    • Live Value 4.1 Settings/Default stream After you have connected your MCE18 to the DSS, you can configure the settings for the Can Transmit under Setup. Here you can find the MCE18 settings and the configuration of the standard protocol.
  • Page 9 You can set the transfer rate, the Can Bus speed, and the addresses for sending and receiving the Can Bus messages. As always, the Can Bus speed is identical in ECU and MCE18. In the following table you will find the exact addresses of the individual inputs and outputs in the standard protocol.

    Under Frequency Input you can change some inputs to a frequency input. The maximum input frequency is 65kHz. You can adjust the damping in different levels. 4.2 LiveData Under the LiveData tab you will find the current measured values and statuses of your inputs and outputs.

    IO-A+B - 8 Analog Inputs, 4 Switching Inputs (ON/OFF), 3 Switching Outputs (ON/OFF) Furthermore, you must set the CAN bus speed to 1 Mbit/s, as usual with Haltech. In the table below you will find an assignment of the MCE18 pins to the pins of the IO boxes. MCE18 Pin...

    Please enable the standard protocol in the DSS. As always, the Can Bus speed is identical in ECU and MCE. All further steps to use the MCE18 with your MaxxECU can be found in the MaxxECU Help: https://www.maxxecu.com/webhelp/can-external_devices-canchecked_mce18.html. Rev 1.0...

    Changing the Can Bus settings is done via the DSS. The detailed process is described in chapter 4.1. 6.7 Can I put 12V on the DIN With the CFE18, no 12V may be added to the digital inputs. The digital inputs of the MCE18 are 12V protected from variant 3 on.

    6.9 At what rate is the data recorded? Different sampling rates are possible on the MCE18. You can adjust the frequency from 5 to 250 Hz. A sampling rate of 50 Hz is recommended to minimize the Can Bus load.
