Power Arc IDS is a software/hardware based ignition development
system which can be used to create custom ignition systems for
1, 2, H-D, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines. The system uses a
precision optical pickup and a stainless steel encoder wheel. The same
encoder wheel may be used for all engine types and can be mounted on the
crankshaft or the camshaft. A wide variety of tachometers may be
used 1, 2, H-D, 4, 6 and 8 cylinder tachometers can be used
regardless of the engine type the ignition is configured for.
High voltage distribution can be done by a distributor cap or it
can be distributorless (coil based). There are two
configurable input sensors. Each
sensor state creates a separate adjustable ignition advance
curve and is graphically displayed. Each sensor state can
have a unique Rev. Limit. Ignition
curves can be copied and pasted between sensor states. There can
be up to 3 sparks per compression stroke. Each spark's
timing can be independently adjusted by dragging points on the
graph. The coils saturation or the time the coil primary is
energized can also be controlled. The number of engine starts is
recorded as well as the number of times the engine
achieves a maximum desired RPM. Ignition advance curves can be
directly downloaded from the computer into the ignition module. Once an ignition curve has been developed it can be loaded into a lower cost non-programmable version of the ignition in either the V or C Series cases creating a lower cost custom developed ignition. C-1 & C-2 ignitions can be programmed with a pin bed. VP-2, VP-4 and CP-2 ignitions can be directly programmed. Ignitions with a custom label can be manufactured or you can buy a Power Arc branded product. C-Series ignitions are available in different diameters. Custom sizes can be produced. Distributor stems for various engines are available for V series ignitions or custom stems can be produced. See the development section for more information. |

| ● Virtually any tachometer can be used on any engine. |
| ● A notes section provides a place for custom information about each available sensor state. |
| ● The number of engine starts is recorded. |
| ● The number of times an engine exceeds a maximum user determined RPM is recorded. |
| ● The Rev. limit value can be programmed independently from the rest of the curve. |
| ● A serial number can be stored and read back in from the module. |
| ● Ignition curves can be directly programmed in the the VP-2, VP-4 & CP-2 ignitions via a PLC cable. |
| ● Ignition curves can be programmed into C-1 & C-2 ignitions via a pin bed programmer. |
| ● Custom cylinder angles can be easily developed and integrated into the IDS interface. |
