SpitFire6 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi, Gave up downloading its only new hardware. Yes, all the quality & the same format icons are at some cost. Not important now. Cold boot time will be interesting for stuff around the four corners. Maybe Hazard lights must be manually enabled and not thru a CPU? Cheers, Iain.

SpitFire6 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 H, Can a Fog light switch be a softkey? Hazard flashers will have to manually activate with no PLC. Triumph Spitfire 1500 6 pins to the rescue. I did hate it. Headlights can wait for PLC to boot? Cheers, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 What is the boot time of a PLC? I seem to remember it was quite quick - but not instant for sure. I guess the only way to get near instant is to have it powered permanently - or to use a PIC chip with E2prom program storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 PLC Powered and scanning permanently is 17 Watt plus loads. Remote a lot more even at idle. Battery power @ 24V would be great. 60 AHr of LiFePO4 would be good for a day. Then the 3 to 4 second PLC boot time would never be a concern. HMI takes several seconds before the home screen is displayed. Major disadvantage compared to micros. One of many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi, Rear IO is complete. No Spares. I wanted a spare output for Audio Amplifier. It would have been good to have spare. Cheers, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hi, Front IO Right complete & Spare. Cheers, Iain. Edited April 4, 2020 by SpitFire6 Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi, Really not good I need PLC On for all indicator lamps to also be controlled from auxiliary equipment. More wires. PLC's reduce wiring. I thought I had an abundance of physical io. 80 is not enough. 24 of local Digital Inputs is not enough. PLC running all the time would be perfect. I think a LiFePO4 battery could coexist with the Standard battery? Lots of voltage conversions required at different frequencies is not helpful. Most quality "Bulbs" working at 24VDC is a bonus. Software not a problem at this level. Cheers, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hi, Where to fit it under the dash. Side of battery box? Bottom of battery box already has ECU. Any space on the driver's side? I guess no space centre? I don't have the car to check. It has to fit under the dash. No point in fitting it elsewhere as I have IP68 IO modules for these places. Namely Boot, firewall & front of the car. Cheers, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
