Dual Half Bridge

Actuators are devices, usually connected to an auxiliary output on the ECU, that can perform functions such as idle speed and boost control. They are normally managed by the ECU via a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal. This signal can be varied from 0% to 100% to control the actuator's performance.

Dual Half Bridge

The Dual Half Bridge (DHB) is a high current amplifier which allows low current auxiliary outputs to drive high current loads such as motors. It contains two high current half bridge outputs enabling it to drive a single motor in two directions, or drive two motors in a single direction. It is also capable of high speed PWM, which can be used for speed control of motors and for other purposes.

The DHB connects to any auxiliary output of a MoTeC ECU or Dash Logger, which performs the control function, such as PWM speed control, direction control or servo control.

The fully sealed case makes the DHB suitable for under bonnet mounting.

Boost Control

This boost control valve allows pressure to bled away from the wastegate, which allows the ECU to control the boost pressure of a turbocharged engine. The valve uses a duty cycle controlled shuttle to ensure that the standard wastegate pressure is still used to control boost, with the valve bleeding off the rest to achieve the desired boost level.

The boost control valve is compatible with all MoTeC ECUs, connecting to an auxiliary output on the ECU, which uses PWM to control the amount of pressure bleed off.
