1.0 Introduction
400ECG
DO NOT use electrical components in order to ground the welder. Do not use the ECM or sensors or
any other electronic components in order to ground the welder.
1.2.2 Warning - Electrostatic Paint Spraying
The high voltages used in electrostatic paint spraying can cause damage to on engine electronics. The
damage can manifest itself through immediate failure of components, or by weakening electronic
components causing them to fail at a later date.
Electrostatic painting is not recommended. In circumstances where the engine must be painted using
electrostatic processes, it is necessary to provide technical details of the applied voltage, estimated
current and maximum process exposure time. Electrostatic panting is not permitted without prior
consent.
As a minimum where the electrostatic process characteristics are acceptable it is necessary to use a
common ground for all circuits, including engine sensors, aftertreatment sensors and Glow Plug
control units and all other engine electronic circuits. All pins must be connected to a common ground.
The engine ECM cannot be painted using electrostatic processes.
1.2.3 Washing and Painting Processes (Excluding Electrostatic)
The ECM must not be painted without prior consent. Painting the ECM will reduce heat dissipation
capability of the ECM. Perkins recommends that theECM not be painted. If in special circumstances
the ECM needs to be painted details of chemicals, covering thickness, color and finish must be
provided to ensure compatibility. The flash light and label must remain visable
1.2.4 Warning Jump Starting
Jump-starting an engine can cause higher than normal voltages to appear across the battery
terminals. Care must be taken that this does not exceed the recommended maximum voltage for the
ECM. and engine sensors. The maximum permitted continuous voltage is 16V.

Fig 2.1.
2.2 Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The ECG ECM is an electronic control device that, via an electronic actuator, governs engine speed
and in some cases torque dependant upon information received from input sensors. The ECM should
be mounted off the engine following the guidelines in this document. The device has two connections
sockets J1 and J2, refer to wiring specifications diagrams/schematics for details, there are no
permanent 12volt positive supplies required to the ECM when not in use.
2.3 Proportional Actuator
The engine fuel system comprises of lift pump and the electrically controlled governed (ECG) highpressure inline fuel Injection pump. The ECG ECM controls fuel delivery to the Injectors by controlling
a fuel-metering actuator valve. The high-pressure fuel pump provides high-pressure fuel to the
Injectors, the quantity determined by a number of ECG ECM inputs, including: Throttle position sensor
(desired speed), engine speed and Manifold pressure (Turbo systems).
2.3.1 All speed
The engine is governed by an 'All Speed Governor', also known as a Variable Speed Governor. Fig
2.2 illustrates the torque and speed characteristics of this governor.
2.3.2 Operation
The All Speed Engine Governor will attempt to hold a constant engine speed for a given throttle
position. The governor senses engine speed and meters the fuel supply to the engine such that the
engine speed remains constant or varies with the load in a predetermined manner.
The all speed governor is also known as 'variable speed' or 'full range engine speed governor'. All
speed refers to the fact that the engine governor operates across the full engine speed operating
range.
Page 5 of 6
400ECG
The governor strategy has control parameters classed as governor gains, which determine the engine
response and engine stability. These gains are 'tuned' by Perkins to ensure that they are configured
for optimum performance under both steady state and transient conditions. As these requirements
vary from one application to another it maybe necessary to conduct further tuning to obtain optimal
performance for a particular machine.
Under default conditions the engine is set to operate with isochronous governing across the engine
speed range, during which the engine fuelling is bound by the mechanical torque curve. Note that the
engine may not be capable of reaching the mechanical torque curve in some circumstances. For
example, if the turbocharger is not providing the required boost pressure, then
the fuel will be limited so that the engine does not emit black smoke when Intake Pressure Fuel control
(IPFC) is activated.

fault code will be returned if MAP sensor return signal is exceeding set parameters. If the ECG system
is to be fitted retrospectively then procedures need to be followed to remove the mechanical boost
control system (22T and 22TA only).

The vibration does not exceed 6 Gs from 40 to 2000 Hz. Vibration isolation should
be used if required.
There is adequate space around the unit for servicing and wiring.
The ECG unit and associated wires must not be installed near high-voltage or high-current
vices. If this is not possible then the unit and all connected and associated wires must be
appropriately shielded..
The cable from the ECM must be secured using a suitable P clip.
The ECM must be orientated to ensure no fluid is allowed to build on the surface of the ECM
or allowed to track into the

used for specified time. Once load has been detected the pre-determined speed will be resumed.
This function is not an option if MPTS (Multi position Throttle switch) speed control is a selected.
7.1.4 MPTS
MPTS (Multi position throttle switch) or rotary switch configuration can be set to switchable inputs to
allow up to four pre-determined engine speeds (these speeds must be specified at time of order), The
rate of engine speed change (ramp up/down rate) can be also configured between selected speeds
(rate of speed change may be adversely affected by engine load). Refer to wiring diagrams to ensure
correct switch configuration. In order to incorporate these switched inputs, determine the speed mode
that is required for the application.
7.1.5 CAN J1939
CAN J1939 interface is also possible using TSC1. CAN communications require the use of
appropriately rated cable and each end of the communication bus to be terminated with two 120 Ohms
from CANH to CANL at their ends.
7.1.6 Set speed warm up
Within the configurable software is a set speed warm up this feature will hold the engine at a predetermined speed for a pre-determined time after start up.

8.0 Inputs
400ECG
8.0 Inputs
Several supply inputs may be required (power and switched), power on supply from the power switch
must take priority to pin J1-09 for volts positive. Ground supply for ECM (J1-04) must be direct from
the battery. All other inputs to the ECM requiring a ground or positive battery supply must be suitably
connected to the supplying cable (after fuse and power on switch for positive) or close to the ECM pin
for the supplying ground.
8.1 Engine protection input
Controlled shutdown for engine protection can be configured by a switchable ground input to J2-09 in
the event of engine system failure such as below threshold oil pressure or engine temperature
overheating. These input switches can be set in parallel so if any one of them exceeds parameters the
engine will shut down. Engine protection shutdown will cause the governor actuator pin to move to a
position of zero fueling, it will not switch off the ECM.

14.1.1 Convert ECG Cal to Text
Page 35 of 36
400ECG
The ACT uploads the calibration set from ECG and saves it to a computer ACT file. This operation is
usually done after the controller has been calibrated for satisfactory engine performance but can also
be done at any othertime. The data is saved in a binary file format
14.1.3 View Cal File Comments
This command allows you to display the comments that are attached to a calibration file. Users add
comments when saving a calibration file. The comments help in tracking specific engine, application,
and environment data for which the calibration file was created.
14.1.4 Convert Cal File to Text
Page 36 of 37
400ECG
The data sheets 14.2A shows a list of configuration options and a description, explanation and mode
settings that may require entering when changing calibration settings, at any point when setting theses
configurations on the ACT system there is a help hot-key F1. Within the Spreadsheet there is a
reference to Mode, this is required for the ECG to recognize types of input required ie; CAN speed
input, switched speed input and number of switched speeds, if warm up time is required and Units for
how long to stay in warm up configuration etc.
14.2.1 Change ECG calibration
All adjustments are stored immediately in non-volatile memory in the ECG
unit. The ECG controller will retain the changes even if power is lost or the
ACT is disconnected.
If there were mismatches, the following message will appear showing file differences.

14.3.1 Parameter View
This command allows you to view certain operating variables in real time.
To view parameter values in Real Time:
MonitorParameter View.
Real time values are shown. The screen automatically starts reading values from the controller and
displaying the values.
To stop the updating, click on Stop, the button name will then change to Start. Clicking it again will
start updating again.
The parameters viewed can be changed/added to by selecting from the drop down configure menu
below the Start/stop option
14.3.2 Parameter Plot
The Parameter Plot command lets you view engine performance on screen in the form of a real-time
graph. This feature allows you to perturb the system and observe the response to fine tune engine
performance.
MonitorParameter Plot.
Page 38 of 39
400ECG
The application will launch and start the parameter plot view. The plot can be stopped and started as
required and saved to file in text form.
Parameters shown on the graph can be chosen from the configuration list and graph settings altered to
required resolutions.
PID setting are shown at the base of the graph and can be altered (even with engine running), the
PID`s will not change until new number has been input and the return/enter button has been clicked on
your computer
Plot parameters and inputs can be altered/set from the configure menu in the plot screen.
Monitordisplay faults.
Both current and historical faults are displayed in the separate box displays, these faults can be
cleared by clicking on clear historical faults or clear current faults. Individual faults displayed within
the same box cannot be cleared separately.
14.3.4 Control strategy
This command allows you to check the version of the control strategy in use. This information may be
needed for strategy identification purposes and for future updates.
14.3.5 Parameter List
The Parameter List screen allows the user to adjust which parameters are
displayed on the Parameter View display.
Type in a file name that reflects the purpose of the saved configuration and click Save. The view
configuration dialog will now display the selected file name in the title bar. Clicking Open will prompt
the user for a file name of a previously saved View Configuration. Select the desired file and click
Open. The View Configuration will be updated with the saved parameters.
The ACT application will always recall the default set of plot configuration parameters at application
startup, and does not recall the last used view setup file. So the view configuration will always start
with the default view. Several parameter view screens can be open with different configurations by
changing the configuration on the parameter list screen (F9 or Open), then opening a new Parameter
View.

CURR_LIM_I_GAIN
Integral gain for current limiting controller. It is used to remove steady state actuator current excess
over maximum current. Maximum value should be used while still maintaining stability.
CURR_LIM_P_GAIN
Proportional gain for current limiting controller. It is used to improve current limiting response time.
Maximum value should be used while still maintaining stability.
CURR_LIM_IDUTY_REL_LMX
This parameter is used to improve current controller response time in the situation when actuator
current is crossing the maximum value. Decreasing this value will decrease current overshoot but may
result in unwanted fuel limiting when actuator current is close to the limit.
Calibration Procedure
Enable intake pressure fuel limiting or speed based fuel limiting with appropriate bit in
SW_OPTIONS2. Both variants may be enabled simultaneously. If Intake pressure fuel control is used,
user must configure MAP sensor input to calculate pressure in bars correctly. Also, the out of range
limits should be changed from default values to be able to detect broken or unconnected sensor.
Current limit tables for the either or both of MAP value and engine speed need to be configured. These
tables define the maximum actuator current for the given input value. Overall fuel supply for a given
actuator current will be constant, with reasonably small influence of temperature, supply voltage, etc.
It should be noted that in most cases the actuator current to shaft position relationship is nonlinear.
