Use the C 80 only as intended in this manual. Any maintenance or repair must be per-
formed by authorized and qualified personnel approved by Bosch Motorsport.
Operation of the C 80 is only certified with the combinations and accessories that are spe-
cified in this manual. The use of variant combinations, accessories and other devices out-
side the scope of this manual are only permitted when they have been determined to be
compliant from a performance and safety standpoint by a representative from Bosch
Motorsport.
Read the manual carefully and follow the application hints step by step. Do not hesitate to
contact us, contact data can be found on the last page of this document.
Important information on Electromagnetic Conformity
To avoid unwanted interference with the environment (people, animals, electronic devices)
or unwanted harm to the environment, it is mandatory that the user of the C 80 carries
out an appropriate analysis to determine the electromagnetic interaction the C 80 may
have with its individual installation environment.

3 Onboard Network Concept
Please ensure that you have a good ground installation. That means:
– A ground that has a solid, low resistance connection to the negative battery terminal
– Connection should be free from dirt, grease, paint, anodizing, etc.
– Use large diameter wire
– More metal-to-metal contact is better!
The following notations for power signals are used:
– KL 15 is a switched battery rail controlled by the IGN-switch
– KL 30 is an unswitched battery positive rail (same as battery positive terminal)
– KL 31 is an unswitched ground rail (same as battery negative terminal)
Be careful to observe current limits of wires and connector pins!

4 Technical Data
We offer the C 80 in two basic versions, on the one hand as a data logger and on the
other hand as a sensor interface. Choose between these basic variants and combine or
add functionalities now or later.
The data logger C 80 is a professional data logging system for motorsport applications.
This allows for synchronized acquisition of engine data from the ECU and chassis data
from up to 26 analog and 4 digital input channels. Additional input devices can be con-
nected via Ethernet and CAN buses.
Recorded data from the up to 16 GB logger can be downloaded via high speed Ethernet.
Software upgrades for the C 80 (field upgradable by entering a key) activate tailored con-
figurations like a second logging partition of 4 GB, USB recording, CCP/XCP-master for
simple data access to third party devices, as well as additional input channels.

6 Communication Channels
CAN bus
The C 80 has two CAN buses configurable as input and output. Different baud rates are
selectable. Please note that the C 80 does not contain any CAN termination resistors. Thus
the CAN termination resistors need to be integrated into the wiring loom.
Ethernet channels
The C 80 has three 100 MBit full duplex Ethernet communication ports. The ports are in-
ternally connected with an Ethernet switch. The Ethernet ports have 'cable auto crossover'
functionality.
RS232 ports
The C 80 has two RS232 serial ports. Baud rate for both ports is programmable. RS232
port 1 is reserved for online telemetry, port 2 can be used for reception of data from a
serial GPS receiver.
Vehicle diagnosis connector
The Bosch Motorsport vehicle diagnosis connector is used as a standard interface to con-
nect the vehicle to a PC e.g. via a MSA-Box II. Loom connector: AS012-35SN

8 | First Steps
14/144 Manual_C_80 Bosch Motorsport
8 First Steps
Install the software required for the operation of the C 80. It is developed for Windows
system software. The following software versions are used in this manual:
– C 80 setup, configuration and calibration: RaceCon Version 2.10.
– Measurement data analysis: WinDarab V7
Set up the 100 Mbit ethernet connection to the C 80.
– The ethernet port has “cable auto crossover” functionality
8.1 Connecting the unit to RaceCon
For testing new device configurations, you can connect the device to your computer via
MSA-Box or ethernet cable.
Connection via MSA-Box
1. Reassure that the MSA-Box driver is installed properly on your computer. If needed,
download the MSA-Box driver from www.bosch-motorsport.com.
2. Connect an ethernet line of the device to the ethernet line of the MSA-Box.
Please note, that the MSA-Box also requires power supply on the MSA-Box connector
of your wiring loom.
3. Open RaceCon and connect the MSA-Box to the computer.
In the ‘Info / Status’ Box of RaceCon you will receive messages that the connection
was successful.
4. Reassure that the device is switched on.
5. ‘Link LED’ at the computer’s network adapter will illuminate.
If the LED is off, check the wiring harness.
After you created a RaceCon project with the device, the status icon of the device will
switch from grey to one of the following colors: red, orange, green. For further in-
formation on how to set up a project, see the chapter “Setting up a new RaceCon Pro-
ject [}15]”. For the status color, see chapter “Color indication [}26]”.
Connection via Ethernet Cable
1. Follow the steps above for a connection via MSA-Box.
2. Instead of connecting the ethernet line to the MSA-Box, Connect the ethernet directly
to your computer.
Troubleshooting while setting up the network interface
The C 80 contains a DHCP server, network addresses can be assigned automatically to the
configuration PC. In case of problems during the network connection, please try the fol-
lowing steps:

First Steps | 8
Bosch Motorsport Manual_C_80 15/144
1. Switch off the PC’s firewall.
2. Reconfigure the PC or the MSA-Box network interface settings, to obtain an IP ad-
dress automatically as shown in the pictures below.
Select
'Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP)'
Click
'Properties'
Select 'Obtain
an IP adress
automatically'
Click 'OK'
when done
8.2 Setting up a new RaceCon Project

8 | First Steps
16/144 Manual_C_80 Bosch Motorsport
1. Start the RaceCon software.
2. In the ‘File’ menu select ‘New project’ to create a new project.
3. In the Toolbox select the C 80 and drag it into the Main Area. A pop up window to
specify the C 80 program archive appears.

First Steps | 8
Bosch Motorsport Manual_C_80 17/144
4. Download the firmware for the C 80 from www.bosch-motorsport.com.
An information shows if the archive is valid or not.
5. Click ‘Next’.
6. Select ‘Race track’ or ‘Testbench’ mode according to your application.
7. Click ‘Finish’.
The C 80 is inserted into the project and RaceCon tries to connect to the device.

8 | First Steps
18/144 Manual_C_80 Bosch Motorsport
RaceCon detects configuration differences between the C 80 and the RaceCon project
and asks for permission for data download.
8. Click ‘Yes’ to download the configurations to the device or ‘No’ to continue without
downloading the data.
Successful ethernet
connection, Device
"talks" to PC.
If the device turns red, you might need to do a firmware update on the device. For
more information see chapter “Firmware update [}124]”.
The download starts and the C 80 carries out a reset.

First Steps | 8
Bosch Motorsport Manual_C_80 19/144
After the reset, RaceCon reconnects to the C 80. Local configuration on both the PC
and C 80 match (indicated by green background and dot). The C 80 is now connected
to RaceCon.
Green background

For further information on the color indication, see chapter “Color indication [}26]”.
8.3 Feature activation
– Optional software feature packages are available for the C 80
– All software feature packages can be purchased prior to delivery or after you have re-
ceived your device.
– If you have purchased an optional software feature package, it must be activated be-
fore it becomes operational.
– The feature activation status is stored permanently in the device and requires activat-
ing once only.
– As the activation key is device specific, a key delivered with one C 80 does not work
on any other C 80.
– When purchasing a software feature package, you have to tell Bosch the ECU ID code.
The ECU ID code is device specific and can be found in the ‘features info’ window,
shown in the screenshots below.
– If you have not purchased an optional software feature package, the next steps can
be skipped.
