Electronic throttle control

[xiaoyaowangdaren]

How are electronic throttle and M84 connected? What are the control methods of electronic throttle?
Thank you friend

Hi,

The M84 does not support the use of a DBW throttle, the most cost effective way of getting a MoTeC ECU that supports DBW is a M130 with GPA Firmware.

You might want to use the GPR package if you want traction control...etc.

Do you have any electronic throttle control data, or M130 data, or GPR data?

You can download the M1 Tune software from the MoTeC website, and also download a gpr package from the moteconline site.

You will be able to look through the tuning software along with view the capabilites of the hardware/GP* package.

Hopefully this helps.

Thank you for your help, I have downloaded it, but I do not want to use M1 control, is there any other way to control the electronic throttle?

Hi There,
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, however you cannot control the DBW with the M84 as it is an entry level ECU that is now quite old.

Your best option is to update your ECU to a newer device. As per Stephens suggestion, an M130 with GPA package would be the most cost effective method of doing this.

Thank you. I want to realize the control of electronic throttle. I want to design the control strategy I want with virtual instrument and LabVIEW software.Then whether to connect with M84 to achieve closed-loop control.

As far as I know, the M84 cannot control a DBW throttle by itself.

Hi,

The M84 DOES NOT support Drive By Wire.

If you want to be able to develop and test your own DBW throttle control strategies (not recommended by MoTeC) then you need to use M1 Build in association with an M1 ECU that has a Development licence on it.
