Note:
ComAp believes that all information provided herein is correct and reliable ComAp however reserves
the right to update it at any time. ComAp does not assume any responsibility for its use unless
otherwise expressly undertaken.
Note:
SW and HW must be compatible otherwise some functions will be disabled.
The key feature of InteliDrive Nano is its easy-to-use operation and installation. Predefined
configurations of typical applications are available as well as user-defined configurations for special
applications.
Configurability
One of the key features of the controller is its high level of adaptability based on the needs of every
particular application. The way, how to achieve this, is the configuration.
NOTE:
Use DriveEdit PC software to the read configuration from the controller or disk, view it, modify it and
write the configuration to controller or disk.
The firmware contains a number of binary inputs and outputs needed for all necessary functions
available in the firmware. However not all functions are required at the same time. Configuration task
is mapping of "logical" firmware inputs and outputs to the "physical" hardware input and output
terminals and some setpoints modification.
Configuration parts:
1. Mapping of logical binary and analog inputs (functions) to physical binary input terminals
2. Mapping of logical binary outputs (functions) to physical binary output terminals
3. Assigning sensor characteristics
4. Selecting of ECU type if an ECU is connected
5. Setpoints modification
The controller is delivered with a default configuration, which should suit to most standard
applications. This default configuration can be changed either directly from controllers front panel or
by using PC with DriveEdit software.
NOTE:
For connection to PC please use the USB interface. Controller can be powered directly from USB
communication port. In this case LCD backlight is turned off and all outputs are open.
Configuration of InteliDrive Nano controller can be stored in an ain file for later use or for its
modification in DriveEdit PC software. Such file is called archive. The archive contains full image of
the controller at the moment of saving. Besides the configuration there is also recorded actual
adjustment of all setpoints as well as all measured values and history logs.
The archive can be simply used for preparing controllers with identical configuration and settings.

Wiring hints
To ensure proper function:
Use min. power supply cable of 2.5mm2
Maximum continuous DC power supply voltage is 36 VDC. Maximum allowable power supply voltage
is 39VDC. The InteliDrive Nano power supply terminals are protected against large pulse power
disturbances. When there is a potential risk of the controller being subjected to conditions outside its
capabilities an outside protection devise should be used.
For the connections with 12VDC power supply, the InteliDrive Nano includes internal capacitors that
allow the controller to continue operation during cranking if the battery voltage dip occurs. If the
voltage before drop is 10V, after 100ms the voltage recovers to 5 V, the controller continues operating.
During this voltage drop the controller screen backlight can turn off and on but the controller keeps
operating.

Analog inputs
Analog inputs are designed for resistive automotive type sensors like VDO or DATCON. The sensors
are connected either by one wire (the second pole is sensor body) or by two wires.
In case of grounded sensors connect the terminal T10 to the engine body as near from the
sensors as possible.
In case of isolated sensors connect the terminal T10 to the negative power supply terminal of
the controller as well as the opposite poles of the sensors.
NOTE:
Symbol #### is displayed when measured value is out of range or sensors wire is broken.
