The M1 Advantage
01.50
| 00:00 | Typically ECU development is a constant evolution where an existing product or range of products is built on or modified. |
| 00:08 | This is an advantage for the manufacturer as development time is reduced, but ultimately it can be limiting because the new product may be driven by existing design constraints. |
| 00:19 | As cars and engines become more complex, integrating an aftermarket programmable ECU into them is becoming increasingly difficult. |
| 00:28 | Vehicle systems now often rely heavily on CAN-based communication with the ECU as well as other control modules. |
| 00:37 | Replicating this communication effectively with a standalone ECU can be difficult or impossible. |
| 00:44 | MoTeC realised that with these increasing complexities, a one-size-fits-all ECU was no longer going to be suitable, and their solution is the M1 range of ECUs. |
| 00:56 | These ECUs are a powerful platform which can be programmed through specific firmware ‘packages’ to run the engine as well as in application specific packages, the rest of the car as well. |
| 01:09 | M1 ECUs are also available in both port injection and direct injection models to further expand their market potential. |
| 01:19 | Starting with a clean sheet design has given MoTeC the ability to eliminate compromises and design code and functionality specific to each application. |
| 01:29 | As well as implementing a processor that is 800% faster than their previous hundred series ECUs, the M1 only includes the features and functions required for each specific package. |
| 01:42 | Eliminating unnecessary generic features allows more efficient use of the ECUs resources. |
