Hi all
I am trying to synchronize three C18 caterpillar generators with emcp 3.1 control modules by the DKG-707 multi generator set paralleling
unit .I choose this paralleling unit because I have used it to synchronize
Cummins generators and I do have the controller now. But I haven't synchronize
the caterpillar generator set before and I am not clear of the following points
1. Does the ADEM III ECM for C18 engine have an option for adjusting
the speed from the speed up/down relay output of the DKG-707 control module?
This is the paragraph from the
controller manual about the digital relay output.
"9.18
speed up/down relay output
The
DkG-707 is able to control motorized potentiometers through up/down output
functions. In order to use up/down functions, corresponding digital output
function P_8x0 parameters should be set properly.
If
speed up/down outputs are enabled, the master unit will operate in order to
adjust itself to the nominal speed defined in program parameter P_A38.
If
speed-up or speed-down functions are assigned to digital outputs, then the unit
will start to generate speed up/down pulses to control the external speed
potentiometer. Thus the analog GOV control output is no more valid.
The
minimum pulse width is set through program parameter 9P_A33), the minimum delay
between two successive pulses is set through program parameter (P_A34), and the
maximum speed pulse width is set though program parameter (P_A39)"
2.
If it is possible do we need to have a password or do we need a
caterpillar service tool to enable this function on the ECM.
3. I know that the ECM has a PWM speed
adjustment input .do we need the caterpillar service tool to enable this
function.
CURRENTLY I DON'T HAVE THE GENSET MANUAL BUT I
WILL HAVE IT LATTER ON .THAT IS I WHY AM ASKING SOME OF THE QUESTION.
PLEASE SUGGEST ME ANY LINKS WHERE I
CAN FIND THE ECM SCHEMATIC FOR THE C18
GENERATOR ENGINE
Thanks
