Volvo Penta Diesel Engine Information


Volvo Penta Diesel Engine Information

Power down sequence


To perform a power down the following sequence shall be performed:

1 Switch off the ignition

2 Send a stop request to the system.

3 When the power down sequence is finished the engine will stop communicating. Auto shutdown will power down the system if the ignition is switched off. Different length of time sequences are being used. (Running engine will continue to run until a stop request is sent to the system).

External stop

External stop is placed in the 8-pole connector on pin 6.

Energized to STOP / RUN

Default external stop function is set to Energized to STOP. To use the stop function as Energized to STOP, apply EMS supply voltage on Pin 6 to stop the engine. By option or changing a parameter it can be set to Energized to RUN. To use the stop function as Energized to RUN, Pin 6 needs EMS supply voltage for the engine to start and run. To stop the engine EMS supply voltage needs to be removed from Pin 6.



Energized to RUN on Pin5

If the function “energized to run” is used the extra stop is on pin 5 together with the ignition.

The main power MUST NOT be switched off before the power down sequence is finished.





Stop

A stop request is addressed by the stop signal and will stop the engine.

Bus interface

Associated message:

J1939: Stop request in VP Status

J1587: Stop request in PPID 98

CIU

Associated hardware/input:

Stop request.

DCU

Associated hardware/input:

Stop request.





Throttle (Synchronizing/Load sharing)

Versatile

The driver pedal demand is realized by the throttle request signal. The signal is interpreted as a 0-100% request where 0% means idle speed and 100% maximal engine speed. This demand will only be overridden if an error occur that may damage the engine or a request with the CAN-message TSC1.

Genset

This is used for controlling the engine speed in order to synchronize and to perform load sharing. 50% throttle corresponds to 1500 or 1800 rpm.

Bus interface

Associated message:

J1939: Throttle in VP Status

J1587: PPID 132

CIU

Associated hardware/input:

Potentiometer supply, signal and ground.

DCU

Associated hardware/input:

Increase decrease engine speed buttons or potentiometer supply, signal and ground.





Governor mode

The engine is normally running in isochronal mode. If there is a need for a smoother controller this can be realized by an active droop mode signal. When the governor mode signal is active then droop functionality is added to the engine speed controller.

Bus interface

Associated message:

J1939: Governor mode in VP Status

J1587: N/A

CIU

Associated hardware/input:

Governor mode request.

DCU

Associated hardware/input:

Available in the menu.



Versatile

If the throttle request is malfunctioning (meaning that there is an electrical fault on the potentiometer or the cable harness) then the idle switch can be used for limp home driving. If there is a fault on the pedal signal then the engine will go to idle speed. If then the idle switch first goes active (meaning that the driver has released the pedal) and then goes inactive (meaning that the driver is pressing the pedal down) then the engine will slowly ramping up the engine speed. The engine speed will be ramped up to maximal 80 % of normal maximal engine speed. When releasing the pedal the engine will immediately go down to idle speed.



Genset

If an idle request is sent to the engine it will go to idle speed if the engine unloaded.

Bus interface

Associated message:

J1939: Idle request in VP Status

J1587: N/A

2.11.2 CIU

Associated hardware/input:

Idle request.

CIU

Associated hardware/input:

Idle request.

DCU

Preheat

This function is not valid for 124xGE. When a preheat request is received the engine will activate the preheat device if the following conditions are fulfilled.

• The coolant temperature is low.

• The engine is not running.

The preheat device will be activated for a time dependent on the coolant temperature. The engine will also decide, using the coolant temperature, if after heating should be used. Preheating will be terminated immediately if the driver starts cranking. It is possible for the costumer, using Volvo Penta Parameter setting tool, to choose if preheating should be activated immediately after turning on the ignition (prior to same conditions as above).

Yuchai Is Super Confident in Its Innovation

Founded in 1951, with 30 wholly-owned, holding and joint-stock subsidiaries, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Yuchai Group) is an internal combustion engine manufacturing base with the most complete spectrum of products in the country. In recent years, machinery manufacturing industry has been dropped off influenced by domestic and foreign economic situations, especially domestic overcapacity and unreasonable product structure. Reversely, Yuchai has sold over 3 million engines with the annualized revenues amount to RMB 40 billion. Over the years, as China ’ s largest engine R&D manufacturing base, Yuchai adjusts and optimizes its industrial structure and constantly strengthens its capacity for independent innovation. Therefore, the key technology continues to be the top in the sector for further keeping its own top leader in the industry. Innovation-Driven In 2013, seven world-class diesel-engine products for high-s...

How to Read Alarm Codes From SmartGen Genset Controller

Auto Module Control Panel is the configuration for nobody on duty controlling generators. This kind of panel adopts auto module control system, with large LCD display to show the menu, such as SmartGen controller. Features:   1. SmartGen 6110 can receive remote output signal from ATS and realize auto start and stop of generators. 2. SmartGen 6310 can realize all functions of 6110, add RS232 interface which can communicate with PC to realize remote operation.  3. SmartGen 6410 Auto Mains Failure controller, can realize all functions of 6310, furthermore can detect  ATS and control directly. The alarm of diesel generator controller is not the amount of stop alarm, which does not affect the normal operation of diesel generator. When the alarm occurs, the unit will not stop, and when the alarm conditions do not exist, the amount of warning will automatically disappear.  Today Starlight manufacturer mainly shares alarm codes for diesel generato...

How to know and solve faults of genset voltage transformer

 Today Starlight Power shares the common faults for voltage transformer of diesel generator set. Hope it is helpful to you. 1) The insulation between iron chips is damaged. Fault phenomenon: temperature rises during operation. The possible causes of the failure are: poor insulation between iron chips, bad use of environmental conditions or long-term operation under high temperature, which promote the insulation aging between iron chips. (2) Poor contact between grounding plate and iron core. Fault phenomenon: there is discharge sound between iron core and oil tank during operation. Cause of failure: the grounding plate is not inserted tightly, and the mounting screw is not tightened. (3) The iron core is loose. Fault phenomenon: abnormal vibration or noise during operation. The cause of failure: the iron core clamp is not clamped, and the iron chip is loose. (4) Turn to turn short circuit of winding. Fault phenomenon: during operation, the temperature rises, there is ...
