60 Rev. 03/2019
Use master control
The outputs of the MIC5 are not SIL compliant. Therefore, always use an
additional master control for safety-critical applications.
7.4 Ignition Timing Adjustment
The ignition controller has several functions for the timing correction.
Influences on ignition timing
Be aware that the actual timing of the engine can also be influenced by
external signals (e.g., analog current or voltage input).
Operational safety!
The MIC5 ignition controller must first be correctly configured for the engine
being used before you can start the engine.
An incorrect configuration can result in damage to the engine.
The figure below gives you an overview of the different functions of the timing correction, which
will be explained in more detail in the subsequent sections. Functions that can be
activated/disabled via the MICT are marked by a switch symbol. Depending on the device
version, some functions might not be available.
