The purpose of this equipment is to familiarise students, in a flexible way, with basic
electricity in general and, more specifically, its application in cars. The application can be
used to analyse and check different basic electric circuits as well as their components
without wasting any time on assembly and dismantling. The configuration of the circuit to
be analysed is carried out quickly by means of connection bridges. The equipment enables
also the generation of faults in several of the circuit’s components. However, if you want to
extend some activities, the application has a complementary circuit assembly board. This
board enables electric/ electronic elements to be interconnected (resistances, capacitors,
diodes, etc.) in a quick and easy way without the need to solder the components, making
it possible to reuse the components for several different assemblies.

Equipment to study how the electronic control unit (ECU) of a petrol engine works with
a multipoint sequential injection system and static ignition. The equipment enables,
by means of a series of potentiometers, different operation conditions to be simulated
(amount and air mass, temperature, rpm, cooling temperature etc.) which the ECU,
depending on the programming, uses to carry out the necessary calculations and make
the different system actuators work (injectors, coils, air flow valve, electrofan, etc). Input
and output signals can be adjusted independently. Nevertheless, to avoid malfunctions
(unlikely) on the injected system, an AUT mode has been implemented where the sensor
signals evolves depending on the programmed algorithm thus allowing the student to
quickly begin to understand how the injection system works. Similarly, it incorporates
the auto-diagnosis system which alongside the DD-Car software allows the student to

By means of connecting the ADA303 application sensors and the ADA305 actuators to the UCE
ADA304, the injection system of a basic atmospheric or turbo engine can be simulated. Then, in this
engine we can observe, through the auto-diagnosis DD-Car, how the engine parameters process is
changing in a real time. One of the main features of this set of equipments is that it can be adapted
to all the formative requirements and needs, as required. On one hand, the individual acquisition of
each equipment allows us to work and study each group of components on an individual basis; ADA
303 study of the sensors, ADA 304 study of the control unities with auto-diagnosis and ADA 305
study of the car actuators. Developing in each case the analysis abilities, checking and diagnosis.
The acquisition of the three equipments, in which all the components are accessible and very easy
to recognize (sensors, UCE, actuators), and where the student himself will have to assemble and
operating the fuel injection system in an interconnected way, carrying out manually the electrical-
electronical association of all the components required (sensors, UCE, actuators). So that the
student is a very active element in the learning process, aware at every moment of the steps he has
to carry out to make the system operate correctly, so that the student himself checks very rapidly,
directly and visually the work he has done. A very important point to underline is that the student
will be able to carry out a very fast and real introduction to the auto-diagnosis through the DD-CAR
software, seeing in real time the variation of the parameters of the sensors, the reading and deleting
of the breakdown code, the activating, programming and basic adjustments, all of which controlled
by the current EOBD norm. The work with DD-CAR will allow that the student get accustomed with
the running of auto-diagnosis consoles of the market, so that he can adapt to any one of them very
rapidly after having worked with the above-mentioned software.

and in slow mode to be analysed. This latter mode allows analysis how the series
data transmission, employed in all multiplexed buses, operates in a simple and very
