High speed glow plug controller

Includes:

High-speed glow plug control unit for constructing a high-speed glow system with phase-shift control of glow plugs.

Experiment hardware includes:

  • Educational depiction of how the controller works using the IPO (input-process-output) model.
  • Control of the glow indicator light to indicate glow status and faults.
  • Engine speed pre-set for controller.
  • Coolant temperature pre-set for controller.
  • Door contact switch indicating door position as open or closed.
  • Controller for controlling four separate high-speed glow plugs.
  • Phase-shift control of high-speed glow plugs.
  • Four indicators to display control status and outputs to the high-speed glow plugs.
  • Monitored controller outputs with fault display via the glow-plug indicator lights.
  • Separate control of each individual high-speed glow plug via 4-mm safety sockets.
  • Pulse-width modulated control of glow plugs at 12 V rms for 2 seconds and 5 V rms afterwards.
  • Start of glowing process initiated by closing driver’s door or switching on ignition.
  • Colour printing of front panel.
  • Terminals 30, 15 and 31 are laid out from left to right to make the circuit structure easier to learn and understand.
