General Information - System Operation

SMCS - 1000
The 3412 Generator Set Engine is equipped with an electronic control system. The electronic
control system is used to control the fuel. The electronic control system also replaces the
mechanical fuel ratio control, the torque control group, and various adjustment screws.
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) uses the input signals from the rack position sensor to
calculate the desired rack position. The signals are also used to control the rack movement. The
rack position sensor indicates the actual rack position to the ECM. The ECM then varies the
voltage to a brushless torque motor until the desired position is reached.
Electronic Controls
The electronic control system consists of the ECM and the personality module. The ECM is the
hardware which controls the engine. The personality module is the software that controls the
ECM.
Rack Controls
The ECM adjusts the voltage to the rack solenoid in order to increase the rack position. The ECM
also adjusts the voltage in order to decrease the rack position. An increase in voltage to the rack
solenoid will increase the fuel rate. The rack solenoid moves a spool valve to control oil pressure
to a servo that controls the rack position.

The throttle inputs allow the ECM to determine the desired engine speed. Also, the customer
specified parameters will determine the speed. The ECM maintains the desired engine speed by
sensing the actual engine speed with the engine speed sensor. The ECM controls the rack solenoid
in order to achieve the desired speed.
The ECM sets limits on the amount of fuel that can be injected. The rack of the fuel ratio control
operates in the same manner as the fuel and air control on a mechanically governed engine. When
the ECM senses a higher inlet manifold pressure, the limit of the rack for the fuel ratio control is
increased in order to allow more fuel. The rated rack is a limit which is based on the power rating
of the engine. The rated rack determines maximum power values and torque values of a specific
engine family and rating. The rack of the fuel ratio control and the rated rack are programmed by
the factory into the personality module.
Programmable Parameters
Programmable parameters will affect engine operation. These parameters may be changed with an
electronic service tool. The parameters are stored in the ECM. These parameters are system
configuration parameters or customer parameters. System configuration parameters are parameters
that affect the power rating or the emissions. Customer parameters affect settings such as low idle
and high idle.
Passwords
System configuration parameters are protected from unauthorized changes by factory passwords.
Customer parameters are protected by customer passwords that are programmed by the customer.
Self-Diagnostics
The ECM has a limited ability to make a self-diagnosis. A diagnostic code is generated when the
ECM detects a problem. The diagnostic code is indicated on the diagnostic lamp as a series of
flashes. In most cases, the code is stored in the permanent memory of the ECM. Active codes
represent a current problem. Service an active code first.
Diagnostic codes that are stored in memory are called logged codes. Logged diagnostic codes do
not always require repair. The problem could have been temporary. Logged diagnostic codes may
be an indicator of intermittent problems. Some logged diagnostic codes record events rather than
failures. Diagnostic codes will automatically reset after 100 hours if the code does not require a
factory password to clear the code.
Engine Speed Switch

The engine speed switch is designed to monitor several functions at the same time. Primary
functions of the engine speed switch are engine overspeed and crank termination.
Engine Overspeed
This is an adjustable engine speed setting that prevents the engine from running at a speed that
could cause damage. An overspeed condition causes a relay to open and the relay will de-energize
the shutoff solenoid. This will stop the fuel flow to the engine. Also, this will shut down the
engine. The engine speed switch may activate the emergency air shutoff system by de-energizing
the air shutoff solenoid.

Note: If the overspeed switch is faulty, a jumper can be used to bypass relay "SR1" to allow the
engine to operate normally.
Crank Termination
The programmable crank termination speed is the engine rpm that is achieved prior to
disengagement of the starting motor. The engine hour meter activates after the engine speed of the
crank termination is reached and a set of contacts opens.
Load Share Module

The load share module allows the connection of one generator set in parallel with another
generator set. The load share module senses the power output of the generator set engine. The load
share module provides a pulse width modulated signal. The signal is used to adjust the power
output of the other generator set.
Warning Lamps
The ECM provides outputs in order to drive six different warning lamps. The warning lamps alert
the operator of certain operating conditions.
The following output lamps are used.
• Low oil pressure
• High coolant temperature
• Low coolant level
• Low boost pressure
• Derate from atmospheric pressure
• Diagnostic
The diagnostic lamp displays diagnostic conditions. The conditions are detected by the ECM.
Flash codes are used to detect these conditions.
