3 Installation
Power Supply
Please ensure that you have a good ground installation. That means: A ground
that has a solid, low resistance connection to the negative battery terminal.
Connection should be free from dirt, grease, paint, anodizing etc. Use
large diameter wire. More metal-to-metal contact is better!
The following notations for power signals are used: KL 15 is a switched
battery rail controlled by the IGN-switch. KL 30 is an unswitched battery
positive rail (same as battery positive terminal). KL 31 is an unswitched
ground rail (same as battery negative terminal).
NOTICE
Be careful to observe current limits of wires and connector pins!

Technical Data | 4
Bosch Motorsport
The MSI 60 is a high quality signal conditioning and data acquisition unit for
analogue, digital, frequency and linear variable differential (LVDT) sensors.
MSI 60 offers a large number of freely configurable inputs (32 x differential
analogue, 8 x single ended analogue, 8 x LVDT, 2 x frequency, 1 x RS 232 for
GPS). Possible applications of the differential inputs include e.g. 31 TC-J
type or TC-K type temperature sensors arranged in a sensor array (one diff.
input used for compensation), PT100, PT1000 (specific pull up values
available), NTC, strain gauges etc. Each differential input features 200 times
oversampling.
The cut-off frequency of the digital filters in all inputs is automatically
adjusted to match the acquisition rate. MSI 60 also corrects the latency of
the digital filters during recording, yielding zero filter delay in the
recorded data. Quantization of each MSI measurement channel is individually
configurable. Data can be sent via Ethernet interface to any Bosch Motorsport
logging device.

RaceCon detects configuration differences between the MSI 60 and the RaceCon
project and asks for permission for data download.
8. Click OK’ to proceed. The download starts and the MSI 60 carries out a reset. After the reset RaceCon reconnects to the MSI 60 . Local configuration on both the PC and MSI 60 match (indicated by green background and dot). The MSI 60 is now connected to RaceCon. 7.2 Assign the Mounting Location Because up to eight MSI 60 can be used in one network for I/O expansion, the mounting location is used for determination between the different MSI 60. At delivery no mounting location is set. This is signaled by an orangeRUN’
LED on the device. Therefore one must first assign a mounting location to the
MSI 60 before it can be used in the project. The mounting location is
permanently saved in the MSI 60. If necessary you can at any time reassign a
different mounting location following the same procedure.
A mounting location must not be used several times in one network, this would
disturb the functionality of the respective MSI 60.

The conditional function works in the following way: The program always
calculates the condition entered in the IF window and checks if the condition
is TRUE or FALSE. If the condition entered in the IF window is TRUE, the
program calculates the condition entered in the THEN window. The returned
value is the content of the new variable (entered in Name’). If the condition entered in the IF window is FALSE, the program calculates the condition entered in the OTHERWISE window. The returned value is the content of the new variable (entered inName’). The reset value is always set for the new
variable (entered in Name’): before If-condition becomes TRUE for the first time after power-up. when If-condition changes state from FALSE to TRUE. Example: Setting up a condition for maximum front brake pressure. “Brake pressure frontp_br_front'”
Bosch Motorsport
At power-up, the reset value (10) is used for p_br_front_mx’. p_br_front’ rises to 30. As p_br_front’ is > 20 (condition is TRUE), the conditionmax (p_br_front, p_br_front_mx)’ in the THEN window is triggered.
The condition sets the bigger value as new value for p_br_front_mx’. As p_br_front’ (30) is bigger than p_br_front_mx’ (10), the new value for p_br_front_mx’ is set to 30.
Although p_br_front’ falls to 25, the value ofp_br_front_mx’ stays 30.
This is caused by the THEN-condition, because p_br_front_mx’ (30) is still
bigger than p_br_front’ (25).

As p_br_front’ rises to 40. Asp_br_front’ (40) is bigger than
p_br_front_mx’ (30), the new value forp_br_front_mx’ is set to 40.
As p_br_front’ falls below 20, the IF-condition turns to FALSE. Now the OTHERWISEcondition is triggered. Because the conditionp_br_front_mx’ sets
the value of p_br_front_mx’ and the value that is already set to 40 before, nothing changes. Whenp_br_front’ rises to 40, the If-condition changes to TRUE again and
triggers the THEN-condition. Now the reset value (10) is used for
p_br_front_mx’ in the THENcondition. The new value ofp_br_front_mx’ is 40, because 40 is bigger than 10.

10.3.7 Digital Filter Details
MSI 60 uses A/D converter oversampling and digital filtering to recording
rate.
Digital filters eliminate `out-of-band’ noise
Cut-off frequency automatically adjusted to recording rate
Linear phase no signal distortion
Example:
100 Hz recording rate (10 ms) < 40 Hz passband (> 99%) > 50 Hz stopband
(< 1%)
70 / 116
Latency compensation no filter delay in recorded data Filtering is (smart)
averaging over several samples.
Modular_Sensor_Interface_MSI_60_Manual
Bosch Motorsport
Analog and Frequency Inputs | 10
Filtered signal is delayed with respect to real time signal. MSI 60
filters have constant, frequency independent delay. Delay (e.g. 22 samples
at 10 ms) is corrected during recording. No delay filtered vs. unfiltered in
recorded data. Correction is (of course) not possible for real time data
(display, online, PWM out). Use filtered data for recording, use unfiltered
data for realtime.

12 Error Memory
In this chapter “Error Memory”, a lot of screenshots are created by way of
example for DDU 8. Please consider this and replace the product name `DDU 8′
in this case with the name of your product.
12.1 Error memory representation in RaceCon
Bosch Motorsport devices feature an error memory. Information on errors can be
visualized via RaceCon (online measurement) or can be transmitted via
telemetry.
12.1.1 Accessing the memory
The error memory can be accessed as shown in the illustration:
Bosch Motorsport
Modular_Sensor_Interface_MSI_60_Manual
95 / 116
12 | Error Memory
The memory is situated inside the device and is non-volatile. As a
consequence, an error which has occurred and has not been cleared by the user
will remain in the error memory even after a power cycle. The error state will
then reflect if the error is still active or not. An error is deleted from the
list when
the user actively clears the error memory the user updates the firmware
The error memory is not cleared by a configuration download and is not cleared
by a power cycle.
12.1.2 Clearing the error memory
There are two ways of clearing the error memory, both are shown in the
following illustration:

12.2 Information on errors available from the error memory
In general, properties of the error memory and properties of an individual
error need to be distinguished.
12.2.1 Error Memory Properties
The following property is available for the error memory itself: Error
Status (device measurement label “error_state”) 0: no error present in memory
1: at least one inactive error present in memory, no active errors 2: at least
one active error present in memory
If displayed in a measurement sheet, this property’s value (0, 1 or 2) is
translated into a verbal description:

It is also represented by a color scheme within RaceCon (provided RaceCon is
online with the system): 0 (no error present in memory):

12.2.2 Error Properties
The following channels are recognized and memorized inside the devices:
Bosch Motorsport
Error type (device label “error_type_rotate”): e.g. “below_threshold” for a
violation of the minimum voltage range defined in the configuration,
“shortcut_Batt” for a shortcut to battery voltage etc.
Error locations (device label “error_location_rotate”): e.g. “ANA01” for an
error concerning the first ANA channel
Error durations How long has the error been active? If an error encounters a
non-active period before being cleared from the memory and is then detected
again, the error duration keeps on accumulating. The number of active periods
can be seen from the “number of occurrences”.
Number of occurrences How many times has the error been detected since the
last time the error memory was cleared.
Error active state (device label “error_active_rotate”) All failure modes
are continuously diagnosed; any error detected will be written to the error
memory. Once an error is detected, it is qualified as “active”.
1 (TRUE) Error was detected in most recent diagnose run (active)
Modular_Sensor_Interface_MSI_60_Manual
99 / 116
12 | Error Memory
0 (FALSE) Error is inactive: error was not detected in most recent
diagnostic run, however the error has not been cleared from the memory by the
user and remains in the non-volatile memory
The aforementioned channels (error_active_rotate, error_location_rotate,
error_type_rotate) are device specific properties (e.g., C 60) and are not
related to the complete RaceCon project (e.g., “error no. 3 from the error
memory”). Therefore, only one property label is available in each device. The
errors from the error memory (possibly more than one error possible per
device) share these three labels. The labels cycle through the errors
currently present in the memory and represent the respective property of each
error periodically.
The following screenshot shows error properties, which can be displayed or
logged:
Labels hold information on error 1 (an ANA3 error)
Labels hold information on error 2 … n-1
Labels hold information on error n (a CAN error)
After the last error and its error properties have been displayed, the labels
will start again with the first error in the error memory stack and its error
properties will be displayed again. Therefore, monitoring these labels over a
sufficiently long period provides the information on all individual errors in
the error memory. To understand this behavior, it is recommended to observe
the three labels in a measurement sheet (while more than one error is active)
and watch the values change periodically:
The verbal representation of the numerical codes of these labels can be visualized in the properties window of the measurement page:

12.3 Analog Input Diagnosis
12.3.1 Monitoring limits / Shortcut Detection / Cable Breakage
The pin diagnosis functionality (check whether measurement is within the
desired range) can be activated in the ANA pin setup wizard; to allow for a
diagnosis regarding shortcut to ground, shortcut to battery voltage and cable
breakage, a minimum / maximum has to be defined.

12.3.2 Open Line Detection
The implementation of open line detection consists of pull up resistors being
activated and deactivated; evaluating the behavior of the measured value
detects cable breakage, regardless of the pull up resistor being activated by
the user. 1. Open the Error Memory of the Device. 2. Click “start detection of
cable”. 3. Check the Error Memory for new fault entries, regarding “Open line
errors”.

12.4 Writing an Error
For the functional part of the MSI 60 system (MSI 60 -ECU) the error bits are
related to the function and have to be distinguished if the function is
activated. If an error is detected, the information may be shown as part of
the error monitor in RaceCon, as display information and as measure channel.
To support driver visibility, an activated error may activate also an output
to enable the MIL-light (B_mildiag will be enabled).
CW_EM_xxx 0 1 2 3
Individual error related to a function Error will not be stored in the monitor Error is stored in the monitor Not valid Error is stored in the monitor and the MIL condition is switched on
The single error bits may be collected in the error monitor.
12.5 Error Memory Properties
The following property is available for the error memory itself.
CLRERRMON
Reset of the error monitor
Error Status /device measurement label error_state
0

15 | GPS Sensor
15 GPS Sensor
15.1 GPS (Global Positioning System)
Space-based global navigation satellite system. GPS provides positioning,
navigation, and timing services to worldwide users. GPS receiver (sensor)
gives digital information about position (longitude, latitude,
height), ground speed, course, and status. Two types of GPS receivers:
CAN output -> Read in messages via CAN Input of MSI 60 (not covered here).
Serial output -> Read in messages via RS232 Interface of MSI 60.
Serial Interface Characterization
Voltage levels: RS232 is standard (+/-12 V), UART (0 V/ 5 V) needs level
shifter. Baud rate: 9,600 is standard for GPS, MSI 60 supports 1,200 to
115,200 baud. GPS Rx
interface baud rate must match the device baud rate. MSI 60 baud rate can be
set with the `GPS_BAUDRATE’ characteristic. Data format: MSI 60 expects 8
data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit (8N1).
15.2 Protocol
MSI 60 expects NMEA Protocol (ASCII).
The following messages are decoded:
Message GGA GSA GSV RMC VTG
Function GPS fix information Overall satellite data Detailed satellite data Recommended minimum data for GPS Vector track and speed over the ground
On most GPS sensors, these messages are activated in the default configuration.
15.3 Sensor Recommendation
The system has been tested with a Navilock NL 403P serial GPS receiver. This
sensor is based on an UBlox5 chipset and is fully configurable with UCenter
SW.

15.5 GPS Troubleshooting
Electrical Is the transmitter signal of the GPS sensor connected to the
receiver pin of the serial interface of the MSI 60? Is the GPS sensor
powered up? Does the GPS sensor deliver RS232 signal levels?
Interface Do the baudrates of the GPS sensor and the device match? Is the
GPS sensor set up for 8N1 transmission parameters? Is the GPS sensor set up
for NMEA messages? Are the GGA, VTG, RMC messages activated? With a
correctly wired and powered GPS sensor the changing GPS time information
(gps_sec) can be immediately observed.
GPS sensor start-up Does the GPS sensor view’ the sky? Did the GPS sensor complete its initial start-up procedure? This may take up to 20 min. A correct reception is indicated whengps_fix’ is showing `3D Fix’.
