Programming the Set Points

The engine/generator set points affect the proper operation and serviceability of the engine, and the accuracy of information shown on the display screen. The EMCP 3 set points are programmed at the factory.

The set points may require changing when the EMCP 3 is moved from one engine to another engine. The set points may also require changing in order to satisfy the site requirements. The set points that are stored in the EMCP 3 must match the specified set points of the particular generator set.

See the set point tables following these procedures for a complete list of all the set point blocks. All of the set points listed in the tables should be verified and reprogrammed if required.

The first set point block to program is for the automatic start/stop block. The automatic start/stop block is part of the control category. In order program the automatic start/stop set points, perform the following.

  1. Press the escape key as required in order to step back to the "MAIN MENU".

  2. From the "MAIN MENU", press the scroll down key until "CONFIGURE" is highlighted and then press the enter key.

  3. Press the scroll down key until "SETPOINTS" is highlighted, and then press the enter key.

  4. Press the scroll down key in order to scroll through the set point options until "CONTROL" is highlighted. Press the enter key. The "AUTOMATIC START / STOP" menu will be highlighted.

  5. Press the enter key in order to select "AUTOMATIC START / STOP". Use the scroll down key or the scroll up key in order to highlight the next set point that is to be programmed.

  6. Press the enter key in order to select the set point. Press the enter key a second time in order to highlight the current configuration of the selected set point.

  7. Use the scroll down key or the scroll up key in order to change the current configuration to the desired setting. Press the enter key in order to the save the new setting.

Diagnostics Configuration

------ WARNING! ------

Warning and/or shutdown events should not be disabled. If warning or shutdown events are disabled, the user may not be aware of conditions that could cause damage to the engine, generator, or electrical loads. If warning or shutdown events are disabled, make sure that there is another control that is set up that can diagnose the event, and if necessary, will shut the engine down.


The diagnostics configuration block is used in order to configure the desired response for any diagnostic that is generated by the generator set control.

The diagnostics configuration block is subdivided into four subcategories as follows: pressures, temperatures, levels and others. Each of the diagnostics configuration subcategories is shown in individual tables.

Note: Table 12 lists the available options for each set point in the "PRESSURES" category. The options that are available for each set point are designated by an "X" in the option column.

Generator Protection Events Configuration

------ WARNING! ------

Warning and/or shutdown events should not be disabled. If warning or shutdown events are disabled, the user may not be aware of conditions that could cause damage to the engine, generator, or electrical loads. If warning or shutdown events are disabled, make sure that there is another control that is set up that can diagnose the event, and if necessary, will shut the engine down.


The generator protection events configuration block is used in order to configure the desired response for any engine protection event generated by the generator set control.

Network

Data Link - SCADA

The SCADA data link block is used in order to communicate with the "System Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)". The SCADA data link block is used for support of a service tool connection. SCADA data link will use the Modbus protocol with an RS-485 half duplex hardware layer operation at a minimum 2400 bps.

Electronic Control Module Reduced Power Mode

The electronic control module reduced power mode block minimizes drain on the battery when both the following occur at the same time:

  • The engine is stopped

  • The control is operating in a standby mode

Note: Standard Caterpillar products do not utilize electronic control module reduced power mode group set points.
