SEAL 2B8293 - Caterpillar

Configuration parameters concern various engine features. Some parameters can affect the performance of the engine. Most of the parameters may be programmed with an Electronic Technician (ET) service tool. Some of the parameters require a password to be programmed.Note: For information on programming the parameters, use the appropriate ET service tool and see the Service Manual, "Troubleshooting" M0082969.Ensure that the "Air Shutoff" and the "Ether Control" parameters are "Enabled/ON" (if equipped) . If the engine does not have these options, ensure that these two parameters are "DISABLED/OFF".No password is required for programming a new ECM during the first 100 hours of service life. This 100 hour “free configuration” feature enables the customer to tailor the programmable setpoints to the requirements of the installation. Exceptions are the following parameters: "Fuel Limit", "Personality Module Mismatch", "ECM Hours", and "ECM Total Fuel Consumption".Cat Monitoring System
The engine is equipped with a programmable Cat Monitoring System. The ECM monitors the operating parameters of the engine. The ECM can initiate responses if a specific engine parameter exceeds an acceptable range. Three possible responses may be available for each parameter: "", "DERATE", and "SHUTDOWN". Some of the responses are not available for some of the parameters. An ET service tool is used to perform the following activities:
Select the available responses.
Program the level for monitoring.
Program delay times for each response.The settings for the parameters are programmed at the factory. If the application requires the settings for the parameters to be reprogrammed, then the parameter must be programmed with an ET service tool.The screens of the ET service tool provide guidance for the programming. The following options can be programmed: "ON/OFF", "", "DERATE", and "SHUTDOWN".The screens of the ET service tool also provide guidance for changing setpoints. For information on programming the Cat Monitoring System, use the appropriate ET service tool and see the Service Manual, "Troubleshooting" module.Data Link Features
CAT Data Link Flash
Flash - A method of downloading or programming electronic information.The CAT Data Link Flash provides the capability to flash the software that controls the engine by using the CAT Data Link.CAT Secondary Data Link
The CAT Secondary Data Link provides the ability for each ECM to have a CAT Data Link that is local to that engine. This feature also enables a global CAT Data Link to connect to other engine controls through a common data link. This procedure enables the operator to communicate through a single Customer Communication Module (CCM) or through a telephone line with all the engines that are in an engine room.The Cat Secondary Data Link provides the capability for as many as eight generator set engines to communicate via a remote display or a control panel. The Cat Secondary Data Link is for use with the following systems: switchgear, remote monitoring, and control systems.Switching between data links requires the use of the Cat ET software.
