Wideband Lambda Probe Interface (1)
Part 1: Test exhaust oxygen levels
Published in issue 421, January 2012
The price of fuel only ever seems to go in one direction so it is important not to waste it. The use of a wideband lambda sensor to analyse the combustion gases from a vehicle engine or heating boiler will indicate how efficiently fuel is burnt. The interface to such a sensor can however be quite complex. This design marries a lambda probe interface IC with a microcontroller to produce a stand-alone lambda measurement device. Built-in self calibration gives hassle-free setup and ensures measurement accuracy.
* Interface for wideband lambda probe.
* Suitable for wide range of Lambda values.
* Digital output with RS232 interface.
* Output of lambda value and operational status.
* Fault evaluation via diagnostics register.
* Analogue output 0 to 4 V.
* Automatic calibration.
