Event system information from the EMCP 3 is shown on the display (1). The event system uses the following terms to describe the status of an event:
PRESENT - The condition causing the event is present and is affecting the system behavior.
Note: For external modules such as engine ECM thermocouples, RTD, and discrete I/O, there will be only active and inactive events. There are no present events for optional modules.
ACTIVE - The event was previously in a "Present" state, but is no longer present. The event has been latched by the event system and needs to be reset before the engine can be restarted.
INACTIVE - The event was previously in an active or a present state, but is no longer in an active or a present state. The event is not affecting system behavior.
"ACTIVE EVENTS" is used to display active events for electronic control modules. Active events are displayed for electronic control modules that are connected to the EMCP 3 over the data link.
There is a number in the top right of the "ACTIVE EVENTS" screen. The number indicates how many active or present events are currently in the system. There is also a number to the right of each listed ECM. The number indicates how many active or present events are currently associated with that particular ECM.
The electronic control modules listed in Table 1 can have an event log associated with each ECM:
| ECM | Event Type |
|---|---|
| Generator set Control | EMCP 3 |
| Engine Control | Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM) |
| Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) (requires CDVR) | Voltage Regulator |
| Thermocouple (TC) Module (1) | Optional TC |
| Resistive Temperature Device (RTD) Module | Optional RTD |
| Discrete Input/Output (DI/O) Module(1) | Optional DI/O |
| (1) | There may be more than one module. |
Note: On power up, the EMCP 3 displays the "MAIN MENU" screen. If the "MAIN MENU" screen is not displayed, then press the escape key (9) as many times as is necessary until the "MAIN MENU" appears. Each successive press of the escape key backs you up one level in the menu structure.
Perform the following steps in order to view an event.
- Using the scroll down key (12) or the scroll up key (13), navigate within the "MAIN MENU" to "EVENT LOGS" and press the enter key . The "ACTIVE EVENTS" menu is displayed listing the connected ECM.
Note: Events are organized by which ECM originated the event.
- Select an ECM and press the enter key (10). All of the events associated with the ECM will be displayed.
- In order to scroll through the events, use the scroll up key (11) and the scroll down key (12).
- After highlighting an event, press the enter key (10) in order to see information about the event such as the SPN and the FMI.
Press the scroll down key (12) in order to see additional information such as the following:
- Time and date of first occurrence (not on version 3.1)
- Time and date of last occurrence (not on version 3.1)
- Engine hours at first occurrence
- Engine hours at last occurrence
