DOWEL 6F7172 - Caterpillar

Active Diagnostic Code - An active diagnostic code describes a condition that is currently present in order to alert the operator or the service technician of an abnormal parameter of engine operation. Refer to a diagnostic fault code.Active Station - The active station is the station that is in control of the engine speed and gear."Advanced Troll Maximum Engine Speed @ Full Engage" - This is the engine speed at which the troll slip is commanded to full engage."Advanced Troll Percent Slip @ Idle" - This is the percent slip when the throttle is at idle while in advanced troll.Aftermarket Device - An aftermarket device is a device or an accessory that is installed by the customer after the engine is delivered.American Wire Gauge (AWG) - AWG is a measure of the diameter of electrical wire. When the AWG number is smaller, the diameter of the wire is larger. When the AWG number is larger, the diameter of the wire is smaller.Backup Control Panel (BCP) - A backup control station that is used for vessel control.Bypass Circuit - A bypass circuit is a circuit that is used as a substitute circuit for an existing circuit. A bypass circuit is typically used as a test circuit.Calibration - Calibration is an electronic adjustment of a sensor signal.CAN data link - This is a proprietary data link that is used for the communications between the PCP and the control stations.CAT Data Link (CDL) - The CAT Data Link (CDL) is a serial communications system that is used for communication with other microprocessor based devices. The CDL is a proprietary data link that is used for Caterpillar equipment. The CDL is also used for communication with Cat ET.Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) - The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) is a service tool that uses a software program in order to run on a personal computer (PC).Component Identifier (CID) - The CID is a number that identifies the specific component of the electronic control system that has experienced a diagnostic code. This is part of the CDL.Communication Adapter Tool - The communication adapter provides a communication link between the ECM and an electronic service tool.Control Area Network (CAN) Data Link - The CAN Data Link is a serial communications port that is used for communication with other microprocessor based devices. The CAN data link is also known as J1939.Control Station Processor (CSP) - This is the interface to the PCP from the slim line control heador sidemount control head.Customer Specified Parameter - A customer specified parameter is a value that can be set and changed by the customer. The parameters can be protected by customer passwords.Desired Engine Speed - The desired engine speed is input to the electronic governor within the ECM. The electronic governor uses the signal from the throttle position sensor, and the customer parameters in order to determine desired speed.Diagnostic Event Code - These codes indicate that an abnormal engine condition such as a high coolant temperature has happened.
