  "text": "Verification of torque signal broadcast by electronic control unit\n1.\nIntroduction\nThe purpose of this Appendix is to set out the requirements for verification in the case that the manufacturer intends to use the torque signal broadcast by the electronic control unit (ECU), of engines so equipped, during the conduct of in-service monitoring tests according to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655.\nThe basis for the net torque shall be uncorrected net torque delivered by the engine inclusive of the equipment and auxiliaries to be included for an emissions test according to Appendix 2.\n2.\nECU torque signal\nWith the engine installed on the test bench for conducting the mapping procedure, means shall be provided to read the torque signal broadcast by the ECU according to the requirements of Appendix 6 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655.\n3.\nVerification procedure\nWhen conducting the mapping procedure according to section 7.6.2 of this Annex readings of the torque measured by the dynamometer and torque broadcast by the ECU shall be taken simultaneously at a minimum of three points on the torque curve. At least one of the readings shall be taken at a point on the curve where the torque is no less than 98 % of the maximum value.\nThe torque broadcast by the ECU shall be accepted without correction if, at each point where measurements were taken, the factor calculated from dividing the torque value from the dynamometer by the torque value from the ECU is not less than 0,93 (i.e. a maximum difference of 7 %). In this case it shall be recorded in the type approval certificate that the torque broadcast by the ECU has been verified without correction. Where the factor at one or more test points is less than 0,93 the average correction factor shall be determined from all the points where readings were taken and recorded in the type approval certificate. Where a factor is recorded in the type approval certificate it shall be applied to the torque broadcast by the ECU when conducting in-service monitoring tests according to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655.",
