- Multiple CAN buses and I/Os suitable for EV applications
Fully customisable using MoTeC’s GUI MS Windows software for EV applications
- Multiple dedicated EV screen layouts
- Data logging capabilities with on-board maths and logic function processing
- Versatile and configurable alternative to traditional instrument clusters
POWER MANAGEMENT (PDM)
LV Power Distribution Module
- Programmable LV power distribution modules, fully customisable
- PDMs provide electronically switched power to a vehicle’s electrical systems and components, including LV motors, lights, solenoids and devices such as ECUs
- Multiple CAN controlled I/Os suitable for EV applications
- Full diagnostics, output current sensing plus over-current, short circuit, thermal overload, reverse battery and load dump protection
L-SERIES LOGGERS
- The L-Series Enclosed Loggers are powerful control devices and fully programmable data loggers with a USB logging option, that can be used in a range of EV applications depending upon which options are enabled.
- They can be used as a controller for any MoTeC D-Series Display, forwarding all required channels to the Display, including lap timing, CAN and RS232 channels and much more.
- They can be placed anywhere in the vehicle and log any CAN and RS232 bus, as well as inputs wired directly to the box.
- As an optional upgrade, T2 Telemetry can receive messages from other CAN units, convert it to a T2 data stream and transmit to the radio for the pit side T2 system.

M1 INTEGRATION TOOL
For use with Simulink®
MoTeC M1 Integration Tool, for use with Simulink® enables the integration of a compiled Simulink® model into an M1 control unit. This feature provides a streamlined pathway from MATLAB® and Simulink® control system development to embedded software for an M1 controller by providing a dedicated MoTeC target to the Simulink® Code Generation.
The M1 Integration Tool is installed in MATLAB® and Simulink® and makes MoTeC custom blocks available through the Simulink® library browser. These custom blocks may be used when developing the model. Compilation of the Simulink® model generates a User Library that can be used within M1 firmware development to assign channels and connect physical I/Os.
Features
- Intended for firmware development for MoTeC’s M1 ECUs, designed for motorsport.
- Suitable for development of petrol and diesel engine management systems.
- Suitable for development of Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Electric Vehicles applications.
- Enables ECU configuration, analysis and calibration using MoTeC’s M1 Tune software.
- Allows data visualisation and analysis using MoTeC’s i2 software.
i2
Data Analysis Software
MoTeC’s i2 data visualisation and analysis software has been developed for the use of professional race teams worldwide. It enables comprehensive analysis of logged data using various graphics and maths functions for custom data processing. i2 software has a user friendly graphical interface, with the ability to set up multiple worksheets within a project. The combination of i2 and M1 Tune software provides an effective platform for EV developers to analyse test data and implement optimisation algorithms to improve their EV control solution.
MoTeC provides comprehensive EV/HEV Engineering Services, tailored to each client’s needs. Our team of EV experts take a goal-oriented approach and work collaboratively to design and develop EV control solutions that speed up and simplify the testing and validation process for the clients.
Our services include:
- Defining the required drivetrain power and battery energy;
- Recommending suitable HV subsystems for the project such as motor, inverter, battery pack and so on;
- Designing a customised HV Power Distribution Unit; and
- Providing programming services to design and develop the customised EV supervisory controller.

There are three main approaches to engaging with MoTeC and utilising MoTeC products for EV applications, in particular using the M1 VCUs, these being:
- MoTeC provides technical support and training on the MoTeC products and software development environment (if needed); while the client develops the full EV solution, including all M1 ECU supervisory controllers programming.
- The client and MoTeC collaborate on the development of the required EV control solution.
- MoTeC develops the EV integration and control solution for the client in accordance with a client-defined system specification.
Please contact MoTeC to discuss your EV project requirements, including technical guidance on how MoTeC products can enable your EV application solution.
