The M460 is a high performance electronics module that is suited to applications requiring a large number of input/outputs. The chassis mounting, sealed metal housing meets defence specifications and IP68 environmental protection standards.

Based on the Freescale MPC5534 32-bit microcontroller, the M460 features 2 CAN interfaces and 53 standard input/output functions via two 40-way connectors. The precision analogue functions include direct support for RTD sensors and thermocouples, while the configurable high current switching outputs support injector, spark and PWM drives.

Typical applications include; diesel after-treatment control, transmission control and complex ancillary vehicle functions.

OPTIONAL CAPABILITIES
  • 128K EEPROM
  • Wakeup from CAN interrupt
  • External watchdog
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
  • Complex diesel exhaust after-treatment control
  • Complex chassis control
  • Transmission control
  • Ancillary function control
  • Computationally intensive ancillary controls with high I/O
  • Complex control with high current switching capability
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
  • Simulink™/RTW based development platform
  • Simulink™ RTW-Embedded Coder blockset, as well as a C API function library to support C-language implementation of code (or TargetLink™)
  • Reprogramming via CAN using CCP
  • Calibration: ATI Vision™ or ETAS INCA™
  • Processor JTAG port accessible internally
