The Syvecs Water-Methanol Injection (WMI) standalone controller offers a powerful and versatile solution for controlling a complete water-methanol injection system. This compact unit is designed to provide precise control and safety features for the WMI system, ensuring optimal performance while integrating seamlessly into various vehicles. Here are the key features and functionalities of the Syvecs WMI standalone controller:
Integration and Communication:
- The controller is designed to easily integrate into a wide range of vehicles through the use of CANbus communications. It can receive critical engine data from OEM or aftermarket engine ECUs with just two wires, making it versatile and adaptable for different setups.
- Even if the vehicle's CANbus system is not supported, the WMI controller can still pick up RPM and Injector Duty signals from the original engine loom, allowing for compatibility in various scenarios.
Safety and Protection:
- The WMI controller features four Half Bridges drivers, each capable of driving Low or High and handling a peak current of 15 amps/8 amps continuously. These drivers are equipped with current monitoring circuits to ensure proper solenoid and pump operation.
- Limp protection strategies are implemented to detect issues such as solenoid or pump disconnections and short circuits. In such cases, the controller can activate a limp flag, indicating a problem and potentially taking safety measures to prevent damage.
Sensor Inputs and Flexibility:
- The controller offers four 0-5V analog inputs that can be used for connecting external switches, sensors, or trim pots. These inputs are highly flexible and can be configured via the Scal (Syvecs Calibration) software.
PWM Inputs and CANbus Interfaces:
- Four PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) inputs are available on the controller, which can be utilized for various purposes, including flow sensors, RPM signals, and Injector Duty pickup.
- The WMI controller features two CANbus interfaces that allow for transmitting and receiving data on the CAN network. This enables users to set up custom CAN transmit options and interact with other devices or systems on the CANbus.
Customization and Configuration:
- Advanced users can customize the controller's behavior by setting up custom CAN transmit options, allowing for sending specific data or signals on the OEM CANbus. This level of customization enhances the controller's versatility and compatibility with different setups.
Safety Features and Alerts:
- The controller's advanced features, such as current monitoring, limp protection, and CAN communication, contribute to overall safety. The system can provide alerts or take actions in case of issues, enhancing the protection of both the vehicle and the water-methanol injection system.
Data Monitoring and Feedback:
- The controller's capabilities allow users to monitor critical data and feedback. This includes monitoring engine parameters, receiving data from Syvecs ECUs or OEM DataStreams, and utilizing the system for efficient tuning and calibration.
In summary, the Syvecs WMI standalone controller offers comprehensive control, safety, and customization options for water-methanol injection systems. With its integration capabilities, safety features, sensor inputs, PWM inputs, and CAN communication, the controller ensures accurate and efficient water-methanol injection while meeting the demands of various vehicles and applications.
