The electronic control system is designed to control engine operation for optimum performance with minimal emissions.The ECM is the engine control computer for the engines electronic control system. The ECM provides the capacity for the input/output functions, the control functions, the data link communications, and the computational functionality for the system. This functionality is detailed below:Input/Output Functions
The ECM relies on several different types of input devices to gather information that is related to the current state of engine operation. The ECM receives the status information from the input devices and the ECM then uses the information to calculate the correct output action. This action is needed to control engine operation. These output actions are based on calculations that are made on cumulative data from other system components, software parameters, and information that is related to desired operation. The ECM utilizes switch inputs, sensor inputs, and data link communications to provide input information from the engine components.The ECM provides the following output functions:
Power supply control for related components
Controller circuits for engine operation
Communications ports for communication mediumThe ECM utilizes outputs as power supplies, outputs for high side ECM drivers (switch to battery circuits), outputs for low side ECM drivers (switch to ground circuits), and data link communications to output command signals to other engine controllers.Control Functions
Control functions are typically commands that are derived internally to the ECM circuitry. Control functions are used to calculate the necessary effect on the signal status for the output circuits that control the engine operation. The ECM utilizes the output drivers and data link communications to implement control over engine operation.Data Link Communications
The ECM uses the CAN communication protocol for data link communications:This Data link is the main structure for communication between all the controllers on the engine and on the machine.The CAN data link is used for communications between the engine ECM and controllers and displays that are on the engine and on the machine. The CAN data link may also be used for communications with Cat® Electronic Technician (ET).Computational Functionality
The computational functionality of the ECM is dedicated to all aspects of engine operation and engine monitoring. The ECM is continuously evaluating the engines current state of operation. The results are compared by the ECM to the engines desired state of operation. The ECM evaluates the difference between these two states to calculate the necessary control command signals. The ECM then modifies output signals to bring the current state of operation closer to the desired state of operation. The ECM also compares the current state of operation to an acceptable range of operation. If the status of any parameter is not within the acceptable range of operation, the ECM communicates the adverse condition to the operator.ECM Software
The ECM software is typically called a flash file. The flash file is a data file that is installed into the ECM. This data file provides the ECM with the software and the data that is needed to run the engine. Occasional updates to the flash file are provided by Caterpillar. The new software files can be downloaded from the Service Information System (SIS) web site. Use Cat ET to download the flash file to the ECM.
