Internal devices 12.5. Automatic switch-off The MTC 6 is equipped with an automatic switch-off module. Modes of operation If wired up accordingly, the MTC 6 conveniently switches off together with the vehicle’s ignition. As disconnecting the power supply during operation can lead to data loss, the operating system needs to be shut down normally using the appropriate hardware and software installed on the system when the ignition is switched off.
Internal devices 12.5.1. Automatic switch-off process When the ignition is switched on, the MTC 6 is supplied with power and begins checking its internal temperature and automatic switch-off function. Once the ambient conditions have been verified as acceptable, the MTC 6 starts the operating system just like normal. During the first three minutes of the start-up phase, none of the ambient conditions, such as the internal temperature or the Ignition input status, are checked.
Internal devices 12.5.2. Configuration with DLoG Config program The DLoG Config program must be installed for the automatic switch-off module to function correctly. If the DLoG Config has not been started, the MTC 6 will carry out a hard shutdown once the delay time and shutdown time set by the hardware (e.g. via MPCCOM.EXE) has elapsed. In this case, the operating system is not shut down normally before the power is switched off.
Troubleshooting 13. Troubleshooting 13.1. Data transmission via LAN/Ethernet If problems occur during data transmission over LAN/Ethernet (e.g. data is lost or not detected), the cause of these problems may be a cable which is too long. Depending on the cable layout and interference from the environment, it may be impossible to use the cable length of 100 m given in the specification (IEEE 802.3 standard). The solution here is the use of a shorter cable. MTC 6 Series User’s Manual V2.
