The MCS400EC is a fully customizable ECU for advanced research and development, and it is capable of controlling injectors / ignitions up to 12 cylinders together with the breakthrough feature called crank analyzer.

The MCS400EC is loaded with already known features and functions of MCS400 series such as powerful DriveRecorder.

Virtually any number of signals from any source can be stored into a circular buffer of up to 16 GB size at speeds of 10 MB/s.

The circular buffer can be emptied at any time - even while the recording is in progress, to allow data recordings without gaps over very long periods. Retrieval of recorded data over LAN or USB2.0 is at speeds of 300 MB/minute. Smart on-the-fly data processing allows previews of the entire recording to be uploaded in seconds. The recorder is fail-safe even in case of power loss and is auto-resuming when power returns.

With the I/O-Interfaces an external analog and/or digital data aquisition is possible. If you use the digital-input for the crank-position you could analyze the datas by the internal crank analyzer. Or you use them to work with the Rapid Prototyping as you know it form the former MCS4/MCS400 with MATLAB/Simulink ®.  It is possible to get a Development Environment with up to 20 inputs/outputs free of charge.

Built around the Freescale MPC5200, the MCS5 delivers a performance of 760 MIPS (million instructions per second) . The on-chip double precision FPU and the proven, robust VxWorks 5.5 RTOS make the platform ideally suited for running

Rapid Prototyping applications concurrently with it's system tasks.
