    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 and 4 devices, this is engraved on the case (V3/V4).

    Firmware: CFE18v0.9xx MCE18_v3 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 DSS without any problems. In the following image you will find a brief overview of how to connect various sensors to your MCE18. For more detailed information on the connection, please refer to this manual. Rev 1.7...

    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.
  • Page 10 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 or select the ethanol sensor (DIN6 only). Rev 1.7...

    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...
  • Page 13 Then it continues in the Haltech NSP software. Here are the steps to be taken: In the drop-down menu, activate the port to which the IO box will be connected. Then select the expander box you want to emulate (use the same setting as in the DSS). Rev 1.7...
  • Page 14 Then all you have to do is check whether your Haltech ECU correctly recognizes the MCE18 as an expander (Status: connected, Firmware: 1.23.0). The „Active State“ is ignored fort he output configuration. The output will only be switched to ground, when it’s active.

    5.3 LinkECU Please activate the standard protocol in the DSS. As always, the Can Bus speed must be set identically in the ECU and MCE. The CAN TX ID remains set to 0x700 by default. In the Link software under "ECU Controls" => "CAN Setup" activate four "Receive User Streams" with different CAN IDs: •...
  • Page 17 You can find the streams here: https://www.canchecked.de/downloads/mce18-multifunction-can-bus-extension/ If you want to connect the ethanol sensor to the MCE18, activate the ethanol option on frequency input 1. You will find the temperature as "Can Freq 8" and the ethanol content as "Can Freq 1" Make sure to subtract 50 from the ethanol content (Streams =>...

  • Page 18: Motec (Beta!)

    Change the protocol to "Motec E888". By default, the Can Bus data is transmitted with 0xF0. If you want to connect two MCE18 in the Can Bus, change the "data CAN TX ID" of the second device to 0xF8 and you can use both devices in parallel.

    5.7 CANchecked Data Display To connect the MCE18 to one of our displays, the MCE18_v3.TRI must be loaded on the display or added to your active TRI/TRX. The MCE18 only sends the 0-1023 ADC values to the Can Bus, these must be mapped to the actual measured values in the data display accordingly.
  • Page 20 Non-linear sensors such as our NTC01 must be mapped by using usertables. To do this, a usertable must first be created as a sensor in the TRI Editor and then filled in the DSS settings. The usertable for our NTC01 looks like this: For non-brand sensors, these values must be measured by the customer.

    6.5 How do I connect speed inputs? The MCE18 is not designed for the connection of speed inputs. However, it has 4 frequency inputs for ethanol, turbospeed or Hall sensors.How do I change the Can Bus settings? Changing the Can Bus settings is done via the DSS. The detailed process is described in chapter 4.1.

  • Page 22: Can I Put 12V On The Din

    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.
