TAG-210 Engine Control Unit

ENGINE CONTROL UNIT

TAG-210

TAG-210 is the main processing unit for complete powertrain control of a racing car. It is typically used with a companion EIU-210 engine interface unit which provides the high current and voltage ignition and injection drivers. The TAG-210 provides a powerful processing platform for customer applications based on PowerPC processors. It comes with integral data logging and high speed communications capabilities.

The TAG-210 is configured by System Monitor and the logged data is in a suitable format for display and analysis by ATLAS.
