RING-LOCK 4N2953 - Caterpillar

System configuration parameters are parameters that are configured to specify the engine's emissions levels, the power rating, and the specific application. Default values for the parameters are programmed at the factory. Some parameters may be changed in order to equip the engine for a specific application. The system configuration parameters must be reprogrammed if the Electronic Control Module (ECM) is replaced. It is not necessary to reprogram the system configuration parameters if you update the ECM flash file. Certain configuration parameters are stamped into the engine information plate.Note: If the parameters that are protected with the factory passwords are changed, the Caterpillar warranty may be voided.Parameter Descriptions
Equipment ID
This parameter allows the customer to enter a description into the ECM in order to identify the engine's application. A maximum of 17 characters can be entered in the field.Engine Serial Number
The engine serial number must be programmed to match the engine serial number that is stamped on the engine information plate. The engine serial number is not preprogrammed into a replacement ECM.ECM Serial Number
The serial number of the ECM that is stored in the ECM memorySoftware Group Part Number
The part number of the flash file that is currently installed in the ECMSoftware Group Release Date
The release date of the flash file that is currently installed in the ECMSoftware Group Description
The description of the application for the flash file that is currently installed in the ECMRating Number
The rating number corresponds to the selected set of performance maps that has been selected for this application. There may be more than one set of performance maps that are available for this engine. All of the maps are resident in the flash file for the engine.Rated Frequency

This parameter defines the maximum rate of engine acceleration.Low Idle Speed
This parameter defines the low idle rpm of the engine.Engine Speed Droop
This parameter enables the engine to be operated in a load sharing system.Droop/Isochronous Switch Enable
This parameter defines the installation status of a switch that is used to select droop or isochronous mode.Droop Mode Selection
This parameter allows the customer to select droop or isochronous mode.Remote Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Switch Input Type Configuration
This parameter sets the installation status and the configuration of the emergency stop switch.Desired Speed Input Configuration
This parameter defines the type of signal that is used for throttle control. This parameter will be used while a valid signal is present at the expected input.The
