Driving the world's most advanced racing programmes.

The TAG-510 is an integrated vehicle control unit and data logger for motorsport and automotive development, as well as generic control applications. With its vast array of inputs, outputs and communication interfaces, it provides a powerful platform for simultaneously running multiple customer applications on the latest generation 64-bit quad-core microprocessor architecture.

It is designed to operate with a separate engine interface unit which provides the necessary drive stages for engine ignition, injection, fuel pump and turbocharger control. The demands are calculated by the TAG-510 and communicated via trigger signals to the EIU-510. Diagnostic communications with the EIU-510 may be via CAN2.0B or CAN FD.

Application code is automatically generated from MATLAB/Simulink models for rapid development. Advanced high-speed data logging, telemetry and rich communications are all provided. TAG-510 integrates with the Motion Applied suite of software tools including System Monitor, ATLAS and MCT.

Powerful. Down to the cores.

Dedicated 264MHz combustion processor supported by an ARM 1.2GHz quad-core application processor executing a 64bit ISO 26262 ASIL D RTOS.

FPGA‑accelerated I/O for ultra‑low‑latency and high-speed, precision sampling across dedicated analogue inputs.

4GB encrypted mass storage device onboard enabling ultra high-speed data logging for advanced performance analysis.

Enabling precise control for ICE and advanced EV powertrains.

Developed for the most advanced racing programmes, including its role as the spec NASCAR Cup series controller delivering a complete control platform for next-generation race car architectures.

Engineered to provide precise ignition and fuel management for high performance engines of up to 8‑cylinders.

Hardware encryption ensures secure data and telemetry, paired with direct-to-SQL/Kafka toolchain, enables for ultra-high bandwidth, low-latency data pipelines.

A unified software environment, MCT, System Monitor and ATLAS streamlines calibration, monitoring and analysis from development to trackside.

Race ready. No matter what.

TAG‑510 is built for the harshest motorsport environments. An IP65‑rated, fully sealed enclosure, pressure tested in production & protects against fluids and trackside exposure.

It operates reliably from 0°C to 70°C, with proven durability under sustained vibration, tested across all axes up to 1000Hz.

Industry leading control.

TAG‑510 brings advanced vehicle concepts to life with a fully integrated output architecture. Worlds most advanced control for high-side, low-side, TTL and open-drain, delivering precise, flexible actuation across the car.

Dedicated 5V, 10V and 12V supplies ensure stable sensor performance, while 1ms engine synchronisation enables tightly coordinated, real-time control.
