Most modern cars are equipped with on-board computers from the assembly line, because such software and hardware systems provide:
Thanks to the use of the on-board computer, the driver can promptly identify malfunctions in the operation of vehicle components, and, accordingly, carry out repair operations in time to eliminate the identified problems. As a result, you will be able to save on expensive diagnostics at the service station, and due to the timely identification and elimination of problems, the operational resource of your vehicle will significantly extend.
The on-board computer of a car is capable of performing many different useful functions, including:
The driver can display the necessary data on the display of the on-board computer, and the data about the detected malfunctions are instantly displayed on the screen and entered (automatically) into the registration unit. This block also stores the necessary information about the correct operation of the vehicle, possible causes of a specific malfunction and ways to eliminate it, etc. As for the additional capabilities of the car's on-board computer, the following can be noted:
1. Display of the total mileage of the car and for a certain period of time;
2. Planning of traffic routes with the calculation of fuel consumption and speed;
3. Drawing up reports on events that occur in the controlled systems of the vehicle;
4. Air conditioning control (manual and automatic);
5. Simulation of TV or radio receiver;
6. Monitor functions for car parking sensors, etc.
It can be noted that each on-board computer is capable of performing a large number of functions, which allows the vehicle driver to adjust the operation of the on-board computer to suit his needs. It follows from this that the presence of such a device in the car increases the safety of traffic and the comfort of each trip.
Consider some automotive on-board computers. They can be installed on a regular place reserved for installation of an on-board computer, on a car dashboard and on a windshield. If you want to purchase an on-board computer that is installed in a regular place, take a closer look at Orion BK-61.
This on-board computer is designed to be installed on the following vehicles:
Orion BK-61 can operate at low and high temperatures, high air humidity, strong accumulation of dust in the air, significant vibration loads. All this is due to the fact that this on-board computer has:
1. Reliable aluminum body;
2.High level of moisture and dust protection IP66 according to IEC-952 standard;
3. System of vibration and shock protection;
4. Passive cooling system.
It should also be noted that even with a high load on Orion BK-61, its power consumption does not exceed 16 W.
If you want to install an on-board computer on the dashboard, pay attention to Multitronics RI-500.
The newest on-board computer Multitronics RI-500 is designed for installation on both injection and diesel (with the ability to support the OBD-2 diagnostic protocol) cars. The operation of this device is possible both through connection to electronic control units (ECU) of cars, and directly from the speed sensor, thanks to which Multitronics RI-500 is universal for installation. Also, this on-board computer has a removable front panel that will protect your car from vandalism. If you install Multitronics RI-500 on your car, then its center console will look like this.
An example of an on-board computer that can be mounted on the windshield of a car is the Multitronics VC-730.
It is possible to connect two Multitronics parking sensors to this device at the same time (front and rear), but they must only be of the same model. With the help of Multitronics VC-730, you can control the quality of the fuel poured into the gas tank of your car yourself. And this happens due to the fact that Multitronics VC-730 is able to track changes in the duration of injection and fuel consumption, and when these parameters change, immediately display the numerical value of the improvement or deterioration in the quality of the fuel being filled (in relation to the standard). Also, this on-board computer will definitely warn you about the low beam turned off at the start of the movement and about the side lights turned on after the car stops. The Multitronics VC-730 display can display several parameters at the same time in different ways. For example:
1. Four parameters in the form of a table;
2. Seven parameters in the form of a list;
3. Two parameters in the form of graphs.
As you know, on-board computers were not installed on most VAZ cars from the assembly line. That is why there are on-board computers designed specifically for the vehicles of this manufacturer. An example of such a device is Multitronics Comfort X11.
This on-board computer is intended for installation on tenth generation VAZ cars. In addition to the main functions (fuel consumption, overboard temperature, engine speed, etc.) Multitronics Comfort X11 also has such useful functions as:
This on-board computer has an identification code that protects you from the use of this device by unauthorized persons. A feature of Multitronics Comfort X11 is that it is able to speak out after a period of time from five to sixty seconds the value of the parameter you have chosen at the moment, and this will allow you to control any emergency parameter without being distracted from the road.
Today, there are on-board computers designed to be installed on a specific car model. An example of such a device is Serg Electronics Ssang Yong Rexton.
Serg Electronics Ssang Yong Rexton has only basic basic parameters, namely: measure the engine speed, determine the average speed, measure the distance traveled, etc.
