# Dead-Man Engine-Permit Interlock
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
This module provides the hardware run-permission path for the engine outputs.
|
|
The steering-wheel dead-man switch must be held to assert permission. Releasing
|
|
the switch, an open circuit, loss of a logic supply, or MCU reset must place
|
|
the engine outputs in their non-energising state independently of firmware.
|
|
|
|
This document defines the signal relationships and destinations only. Output
|
|
driver implementation is documented separately.
|
|
|
|
## Logic domains
|
|
|
|
| Signal | Domain | Active state | Default/fault state |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `DEAD_MAN_SIG` | Protected 5 V logic | High: driver is holding the dead-man switch | Low: no permission |
|
|
| `MCU_RUN_PERMIT` | 3.3 V MCU logic | High: MCU permits engine operation | Low: no permission |
|
|
| `ENGINE_PERMIT` | 5 V logic | High: both hardware and MCU permit operation | Low: no permission |
|
|
| `MCU_INJECTOR_SIG` | 3.3 V MCU logic | High: requested injector on-time | Low: injector off |
|
|
| `SAFE_INJECTOR_SIG` | 5 V logic | High: permitted injector command | Low: injector off |
|
|
| `SAFE_IGNITION_INHIBIT` | 5 V logic | High: ignition output is inhibited | Low: ignition output is permitted |
|
|
| `DEAD_MAN_STATUS` | 3.3 V MCU input | High: observed dead-man asserted | Low: observed dead-man released/faulted |
|
|
|
|
`DEAD_MAN_SIG` is a harness-connected input. It shall be protected, filtered,
|
|
and given a default-low bias before entering the 5 V logic. The conditioning
|
|
must tolerate expected connector faults and transients without allowing a
|
|
fault to assert engine permission.
|
|
|
|
## Signal tree
|
|
|
|
The permission gates operate from `+5V_MAIN` and accept 3.3 V MCU logic
|
|
levels. Their outputs are 5 V logic levels.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
protected steering-wheel input
|
|
|
|
|
+--> protected 3.3 V observation path --> DEAD_MAN_STATUS --> MCU
|
|
|
|
|
+--> conditioned 5 V DEAD_MAN_SIG --+
|
|
AND --> ENGINE_PERMIT --+
|
|
MCU_RUN_PERMIT --------------------------------+ |
|
|
+--> ignition-permission inverter
|
|
| --> SAFE_IGNITION_INHIBIT
|
|
|
|
|
MCU_INJECTOR_SIG -------------------------------------------------------AND --> SAFE_INJECTOR_SIG
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The logic equations are:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
ENGINE_PERMIT = DEAD_MAN_SIG AND MCU_RUN_PERMIT
|
|
SAFE_INJECTOR_SIG = ENGINE_PERMIT AND MCU_INJECTOR_SIG
|
|
SAFE_IGNITION_INHIBIT = NOT(ENGINE_PERMIT)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Output destinations
|
|
|
|
| Logic output | Destination | Required behavior |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `ENGINE_PERMIT` | Hardware injection-command permission gate | Must prevent an injector command from reaching the injection output stage when low. |
|
|
| `SAFE_INJECTOR_SIG` | Dedicated injection output stage command input | The only injector on-command presented to the output stage. |
|
|
| `SAFE_IGNITION_INHIBIT` | Dedicated ignition output stage inhibit/enable input | Must inhibit the ignition output stage when high and permit it only when low. |
|
|
| `DEAD_MAN_STATUS` | STM32 digital input | Firmware observation, scheduling shutdown, telemetry, and diagnostics only; it is not the safety-critical shutoff path. |
|
|
|
|
## Fail-safe behavior
|
|
|
|
- `DEAD_MAN_SIG` must be low if the steering-wheel switch is released, its
|
|
wire opens, or its source is unavailable.
|
|
- `MCU_RUN_PERMIT` and `MCU_INJECTOR_SIG` must default low during reset,
|
|
boot, brownout, or an unpowered MCU. External bias components shall provide
|
|
these states during power sequencing.
|
|
- If `ENGINE_PERMIT` becomes low during an injection command,
|
|
`SAFE_INJECTOR_SIG` becomes low and removes the command from the injection
|
|
output stage.
|
|
- If `ENGINE_PERMIT` becomes low during an ignition dwell,
|
|
`SAFE_IGNITION_INHIBIT` becomes high and commands the ignition output stage
|
|
into its non-sparking shutdown behavior.
|
|
- If the 5 V permission logic loses power, the injection command input must
|
|
be externally biased low and the ignition output stage's inhibit input must
|
|
default to its inhibited state.
|
|
|
|
## Firmware responsibilities
|
|
|
|
The hardware path is authoritative; firmware cannot override a released
|
|
dead-man switch. Firmware shall nevertheless sample `DEAD_MAN_STATUS`, clear
|
|
pending injection and ignition schedules when it becomes invalid, and keep
|
|
`MCU_RUN_PERMIT` low except while engine operation is intentionally enabled.
