MIC-Series MOTORTECH Ignition Controllers

Product catalog summary
Overview
MOTORTECH is a prominent manufacturer of ignition controllers for industrial gas engines, offering the MIC series for various gas types and engine sizes. The series enhances engine performance with increased ignition energy, extended spark duration, and precise ignition timing.

Specifications
The MIC series is compatible with 2- and 4-stroke engines, supporting up to 6000 rpm. It accommodates up to 16 + 1 trigger impulses or 500 teeth on the flywheel and is CSA certified. Ignition timing is adjustable to 0.1° crankshaft, with options for magnetic, Hall effect, or inductive pickups. Features include safety shutdown during overspeed, programmable spark duration, and ignition energy regulation.

Technical Data & Functions
Models MIC3, MIC4, and MIC5 offer varying ignition outputs, pickups, and voltage supply. The series supports CAN Bus 2.0b and RS485 interfaces, with digital inputs and outputs for synchronization and multifunctional purposes. Configuration is managed via the MOTORTECH Integrated Configuration Tool (MICT).

Housing Versions
The MIC series offers Light Duty (LD), Heavy Duty (HD), and Panel Mount (PM) housing versions, each designed for specific environmental conditions with different protection ratings and temperature tolerances.

MOST Technology
MOTORTECH Output Stage Technology (MOST) ensures reliable ignition with weak or fluctuating gas calorific values, allowing adjustable ignition spark duration and intensity.

MICT Configuration Tool
The MICT tool provides a graphical user interface for configuring MIC series controllers, supporting multiple languages and offering features like runtime data snapshots and online help.

Components
The MIC ignition systems include high energy ignition coils, high tension leads, and spark plugs designed for long life and alternative fuels. The DetCon20 detonation control system protects engines by detecting early-stage detonation and adjusting ignition timing.

Additional Features
Inductive Pickup: Designed for limited installation space, it operates in oil and features high temperature resistance.
PowerView3 – HMI-Module: A 7” color display module for visualizing operating data, supporting on-site error diagnostics and data recording.
MOTORTECH LiteRail Wiring Systems: A pre-assembled system for easy assembly and service, suitable for non-explosive environments.

Company Information
MOTORTECH GmbH is based in Celle, Germany, with a branch in New Orleans, USA. They are a distribution partner for DENSO spark plugs and emphasize global customer service.

The graphic compares the behavior of a conventional capacitor discharge ignition system (CDI) and ignition system with MOST. Capacitor discharge ignition system (CDI) The red curve shows that a high peak current is reached during ignition. Afterwards, the current decreases sharply. To achieve longer spark duration, the energy supply must be increased. The result of this is a higher peak current. Ignition system with MOST The blue curve shows that a lower peak current is reached during ignition with MOST. The current remains at a constant level until the energy supply ends. Thereafter, the current...
