Hi im testing a machine monitoring telematics device that over tracks machine metrics such as Fuel level, coolant temp, rpm, engine load, and some other J1939 can bus standard vitals. Is it possible to Setup a can bus stream so this device will connect to the can in a monsoon x ecu and i can monitor some of these parameters remotely? It communicates on J1939 standard. Im sure someone has set up something simular for a marine application which i believe is similar?/

Yes there is a pressure sensor fitted. It is returnless normally 60 psi at idle and maybe 58 under wot, is shown on my display

Think i may have it sorted, its confusing when at idle, the differential pressure shows way higher than the rated 60 psi the pump is regulated to. Why is that?

Hi I want to setup my fuel flow table so i can run the virtual fuel tank and see inst. fuel consumption. I have a Honda J35 a8 with the fuel pressure regulator set at 60psi. I believe standard injector specs are 310cc /min at 43.5psi Can someone show me what values I need to put in my table Thanks

Hi Team, I'm trying to send virtual Fuel tank information to my Powertune Display. I have followed the instructions by setting the User stream to 3 and Can id to 1100 and transmit rate to 20hz as per the instructions. Then added Custom frame to Stream3 with the values they shown in the instructions. But for the life if me i cant get it to show in the display. I can get what I want to see on PC link software. (attached Images) Help...... I'm frazzled and need someone smarter than me to guide me. Cheers

Hi guys i have setup my ecu hold power as per quote. It works great push button for on second push to start and then 3rd push to stop. Then after 5 min ecu shuts off which kills mu accessories etc. I now have a accessory relay wired for my stereo and the remote wire from amp comes to ecu di2 so the ecu. What I'm trying to achieve is a second timer or a way of extending my ecu power hold from 5 min to say 45 min when the di2 from stereo has 12v when listening to music. And if Its switched off the normal power hold will shut down . The accessory output relay is controlled by aux 1 output and it has a safety to turn off if battery v is less than 12.0v Hope that makes sense ( Just need to lengthen power hold time when music is playing) otherwise it is as per normal 5 min then shuts down. Cheers

I’m using a Monsoon just fine on a J35 wasted spark etc. no issue.

Hi Vaughan, it’s been over a year since this post, just wondering if the statistics value can be transmitted on the can bus, or if it will be close? thanks.

Um the black and yellow +12v wire , so yes the ig one on the alternator. Is it safe to connect him to the fuel pump relay or something switched- only when engine runs.

I’m in a similar situation to this with a Honda alternator. But have my wiring mostly done. Is it possible to excite the field winding from a ecu controlled source such as fuel pump. That way when the ign is on it’s not “wasting” current draw when alternator isn’t charging.

Thank You, Will test tonight. I had the ecu stay on with power hold the start wouldnt work for me. couldnt figure out how it wouldnt work.

Hello Vaughan as per this screenshot in last September I tried to program it but not sure what I have missed. are you able to supply this setup on a blank g4x monsoon template for me please?

Hi Vaughan sounds good thanks for the update.. will these data points be able to be transmitted via canbus to the powertune digital dash?

Thank you very much

I'm possibly looking toward the Power Tune Display as it has Link Ecu connectivity. I haven't investigated at their end if it was built in to their unit but assumed if it was broadcast it could be shown. Is link capable of J1939 communication. Then the Jardum Power Vision display could be suitable as it has A/V and camera capability. Ok I will investigate that. Might be a bit over my head.. Thanks anyway..

Hello Vaughan, Is there any possibility this would be considered for future development? Or is it just plain impossible? I can see a lot of marine applications using this in the future with the increasing popularity of can bus dash's and the servicing schedules at certain hours. And it would be beneficial for motorsport for logging component hours and rebuild intervals. Also thanks for the configuration inputs and outputs. Bit to get my head around but the more I look at it the more im understanding it. Is there any provision to shut the power down without letting the timer run its course of time? i.e. the length of time the switch is pressed - say for 3 seconds or a long press it will interrupt or stop the ecu hold power? Thanks much appreciated

Thanks that would be much appreciated, if you can find out how that can work. I had seen the engine running time, but i couldn't find out much specific documentation relating to it. and in my mind it was just a "session" running time not total, and didnt accumulate. But if it accumulates time that is what im after.. Cheers

Hi I’m new here and looking around to suit a boat build application. will possibly buy a monsoon. Have been playing around and familiarizing myself with the pc link software. First question I want to know how I can create some logic to have a single start stop button like in a modern car power up my setup and start engine and stop engine and then power down my setup. first thoughts are have a momentary switch wired to turn on the link ecu 12v input and can bus display through a Latching relay. then have a direct output from the ecu keep the latching relay circuit “live” Second push will have a output branched from the switch work a digital direct input (obviously not to power things up initially) But this direct input will be the start stop command to start and stop engine. what I would like is a timer sequence that once engine is off after say 3-4 min the direct output to the latching relay will be able to power off causing the latching relay to switch off canbus display. And the ecu down. which to power back up - repeat the on and start sequence. also is there a way for a timer to be set so the same button if held down for say 4 seconds will just allow the power down sequence by deactivating the latching relay? can some one please help me configure this in pc link software? second question. Marine applications are based on hour intervals for servicing. is it possible to get a hour counter to work and accumulate hours and have it output to the can bus display to show on it??? thanks in advance.
