Title: Faster K-Line Logging for old KWP1281 ECUs-->McMess Post by: passuff on July 09, 2011, 10:14:51 AM Hello everybody.
I was reading a lot about Measuring Protocols. In doing so, I found something about the McMess in EDC15V (Infineon c167&AM29f400BT) ECU. Normally, this ECU can only be logged over KWP1281, which is as you all know very slow. This Info is written in german, so I searched in EDC15C document about the same info in english. So dont wonder about the header in this http://remixshare.com/download/if5r6 (http://remixshare.com/download/if5r6) pdf I have to mention, that I'm not so very familiar with programming and electronics. But as far as I understand, the mcmess should do the same as kw2000. It reads ram values directly. this should be faster than kwp1281.... What do YOU think about that?

logging, and I would guess it is the same for EDC15. The speed you can reach for logging ram variables in normal mode is not very high and when using the highspeed mode you can just read 6 different byte variables.

I just read your attached txt partially. No time so far..
But I will try myself. I can't believe this protocol is so stupid and slow. As far as I know, it was the only one method to calibrate and measure with original ECUs for OEMs. aside from Ram emulated ECUs.... But I gues, like today they dont always use the emu ECUs.. Did you try to build an MCU to communicate the faster way? Its also just 1kb/sec, but thats a lot compared to kwp1281 isn't it? Maybe it's easier to implement commands and communication into Atmega because of timing/responses/hold up communication and use simple commands to talk to MCU.. I will report my progress...

I only know some can tools that are able to setup messages that have to be send every XYms... Don't know the right words to google :D Title: Re: Faster K-Line Logging for old KWP1281 ECUs-->McMess Post by: hexdmy on July 05, 2014, 09:19:12 AM Hello,
I am also looking for an option for usable logging rates with a M5.9 (M3.8) ecu. Through my searching, there have been some comments that the fast logging rates were achieved with development ecus that were fitted with ETK boards. However, I believe that Bosch/VW must of had a way to connect to a standard ecu and get good logging rates, possibly with McMess protocol ? I'm just wondering if anyone has any additional insights into this, as a good logging solution for these older ecus I believe many people need and want.

Not sure weather it works with your car or not. THere is ediabas tools from BMW development and a guy wrote nice logging tool for it called testo. If this is new to you, I can tell you sources. If not, I don't know better logging solution for BMW beside OEM tools like INCA and developement ECUs..

If I am right making memory, I think that basically ECU-X operates as an special datalogging tool that reads engine parameters directly from ecu's microprocessor RAM and packed it through ECU communication protocol at it max speed. That protocol was KWP2000, I think.
The issue here is the KW1281 slow communication rate. Then the main problem is the communication protocol itself. |
