Innovation is the cornerstone of the FuelTech philosophy of product development. The company has tried to use its crystal ball to create products that will help racers in ways they didn’t know were possible. Case in point, FuelTech’s new FT700 and FT700 Plus are more than ECUs, they are the next generation of vehicle control units (VCUs) that will change how racers control their vehicles.
The first thing people will notice about the FT700 and FT700 Plus is their large and powerful touch screens. The FT700 features a 7-inch screen, while the FT700 Plus has a massive 12-inch display. These screens are a key feature because they make it easy to see the VCUs 3D maps whether inside or outside the vehicle. The screens offer high resolution and that makes it easier for users to change settings on the VCU, or make tuning adjustments.
FuelTech has built a powerful multi-platform interface into the FT700 VCUs that is compatible with Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS operating systems. What that means is, the FT700 software can be run on cell phones, tablets, and notebooks. The FT700 can also connect to devices through WiFi or Bluetooth connection protocols. This will allow a user to connect to the FT700 while the vehicle is running or being driven and make real-time changes.
The FT700 VCUs will be easy to connect, however, that doesn’t mean your data isn’t secure. FuelTech has integrated robust levels of end-to-end encryption into the FT700’s software. Unique user identification and login credentials will control who can connect to the VCU. This means that only devices authorized by the user can open and manipulate the FT700 at any time.
You can expect to see the typical fuel injection control methods of maps by an injection timetable, or volumetric efficiency in the FT700 VCUs. The FT700 and FT700 Plus will have built-in conditioners for two wideband oxygen sensors. Bosch LSU 4.2, 4.9, 5.2, or NTK oxygen sensors will work with the FT700’s onboard conditioners.
FuelTech is really looking at the future of what will power high-performance vehicles, so it added EV controls into the FT700 VCUs. The VCUs will be able to control fully electric or hybrid vehicles. FuelTech has built-in electric-motor controls, and inverter controls, along with battery and charger management systems in the FT700 line of VCUs.
The FT700 will have up to 64 gigabytes of internal storage so you can save up to 600 hours of data logging in the VCU. FuelTech designed the FT700 VCU…
