DMC-B Converter: Engine Trigger Sensor

Details

This version is intended for engine trigger sensors that have insufficient amplitude to trigger a logic level input. Minimal filtering avoids delays in the signal. The trigger level does not vary significantly at normal operating frequencies.

The Dual Magnetic Converter (DMC) converts magnetic style signals to open collector output signals – a square wave. This makes a typical magnetic sensor behave as a switched or Hall Effect sensor, to make the signals suitable for use with MoTeC ECUs and loggers. This allows magnetic sensors to be used in applications where previously a Hall sensor was required, for example when using the digital inputs on an ECU to measure wheel speed. A single DMC can convert two independent magnetic sensor signals.

FAQs About DMC-B Converter: Engine Trigger Sensor

What makes the DMC-B version different from the DMC-A?

The DMC-B features minimal filtering compared to the DMC-A. This is critical for engine position sensors, as heavy filtering causes signal delay (phase lag) which would result in inaccurate ignition timing.

When should I use the DMC-B converter?

Use the DMC-B when you have magnetic (VR) engine trigger sensors that produce a signal with insufficient amplitude to trigger the standard logic level inputs on your ECU.

Does the trigger level fluctuate on this unit?

No. Unlike the fuel flow version, the DMC-B is engineered so that the trigger level does not vary significantly at normal operating frequencies, ensuring consistent timing readings.

Can this unit handle both crank and cam signals?

Yes. A single DMC unit contains two independent converters, allowing it to manage both the Crankshaft and Camshaft position sensors simultaneously in one module.

What is the output signal type of the DMC-B?

It converts the analog magnetic sine wave from the sensor into a clean Open Collector (square wave) output, effectively making the sensor behave like a Hall Effect sensor for the ECU.
