TAG-510
The TAG-510 is an integrated vehicle control unit and data logger for motorsport and automotive development. It is a versatile two-in-one solution for various control applications.
With its vast array of inputs, outputs and communication interfaces, the TAG-510 is powered by a powerful 64-bit quad-core microprocessor. This provides a powerful platform for simultaneously running multiple applications at the same time.
The unit is able to work in tandem with a separate Powerbox unit which provides the necessary drive stages for engine ignition, injection, fuel pump and turbocharger control. The demands are calculated by the TAG-510 and are communicated via trigger signals to the Powerbox, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Diagnostic communications with the Powerbox can be conducted via CAN2.0B or CAN FD.
Application code is generated automatically from MATLAB/Simulink models, facilitating rapid development and deployment. It offers advanced high-speed data logging, telemetry and rich communications, making it a versatile tool for a variety of applications.
The TAG-510 easily integrates with the Motion Applied suite of software tools, including System Monitor, ATLAS and MCT. This integration provides the user with a comprehensive toolkit for monitoring, analysis and control.
