RING-RETAINING 6V7979 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:The speed control provides a throttle signal and a droop signal to the engine's Electronic Control Module (ECM). The output for rated speed is a pulse width modulated signal (PWM) at a constant frequency. The speed signal varies with the position of the speed adjust potentiometer. The output for droop is a PWM signal at a constant frequency. The droop signal varies with the position of the droop adjust potentiometer. The output signal is referred to as a duty cycle or as a PWM signal. The output signal is expressed as a percentage between 0 and 100 percent for the speed adjust and a percentage between 0 and 10 percent for the droop adjust.The ECM calculates the desired engine rpm from the rated speed signal and the droop signal. The rated speed signal is valid when the duty cycle is in the range of 5 to 95 percent. If the ECM determines that the rated speed signal is invalid, the engine rpm will be set to the programmed low idle.Note: Desired speed can be adjusted from 1369 to 1945 rpm for a 60 Hz system and from 1141 to 1621 rpm for a 50 Hz system.The droop signal is valid when the duty cycle is in the range of 15 to 85 percent. If the ECM determines that the droop signal is invalid, the engine will run with no droop which is referred to as isochronous mode.Some applications may choose not to use the speed control. Some applications may use a load sharing module. The load sharing module is configured to provide the engine control with a rated speed signal. The signal has the same characteristics as the above defined signal. Some of these load sharing modules can not provide a signal until the engine is running. In these cases, troubleshooting should be performed while the engine is running.
