Engine Monitoring System

SMCS - 1900; 1901
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors the operating parameters of

the engine. The ECM can initiate a warning or a shutdown if a specific engine
parameter exceeds an acceptable range. Use the Caterpillar Electronic
Technician (ET) to perform the following activities:
l Select the available responses.
l Program the level for monitoring.
l Program delay times for each response.
The default settings for the parameters are programmed at the factory. To
accommodate unique applications and sites, the parameters may be
reprogrammed with Cat ET. The screens of Cat ET provide guidance for the
changing of trip points.
Note: Some of the parameters are protected by factory passwords. Other

parameters can be changed with customer passwords.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Manual for the default settings and for
instructions on the troubleshooting events.
Monitoring Parameters
"Low System Voltage"
The trip point for this parameter is set at the factory. The trip point cannot be
changed. This parameter is always ON. This parameter cannot be turned off.
https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/content.jsp?calledpage... 1402/06/22
If the system voltage decreases to the trip point, the ECM will generate a
warning or a shutdown.
"High Engine Coolant Temperature"

The trip points for this parameter can be programmed by the customer. The
shutdown response is always ON. The shutdown response cannot be turned
off. If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the trip point, the ECM will
generate a warning, an impending shutdown, or a shutdown.
"Low Engine Coolant Temperature"

The trip point for this parameter can be programmed by the customer. If the
engine coolant temperature decreases to the trip point, the ECM will generate
a warning.
"Engine Overspeed"
The trip point for this parameter is set at the factory. This parameter is always
ON. This parameter cannot be turned off. If the engine speed exceeds the trip
point, the ECM will activate an engine shutdown. For generator set engines, a
typical trip point is 125 percent of the rated speed for the engine.
"High Engine Oil Temperature"

The trip point for a warning for this parameter can be programmed by the
customer. The trip point for a shutdown is set at the factory. This parameter is
always ON. This parameter cannot be turned off. If the engine oil temperature
exceeds the trip point, the ECM will generate a warning or a shutdown.
"High Oil Filter Differential Pressure"

customer. The trip point for a shutdown is set at the factory. This parameter is
always ON. This parameter cannot be turned off. If the engine oil filter
differential pressure exceeds the trip point, the ECM will generate a warning
or a shutdown.
"Low Oil Filter Differential Pressure"
customer. The trip point for a shutdown for this parameter is set at the factory.
The warning is always on. The shutdown is configurable to OFF or ON. If the
engine oil filter differential pressure decreases to the trip point, the ECM will
generate a warning or a shutdown.
"High Fuel Temperature"

fuel temperature exceeds the trip point, the ECM will generate a warning.
"Low Fuel Pressure"

fuel pressure decreases to the trip point, the ECM will generate a warning.
"High Eng Oil to Eng Coolant Diff Temp"

customer. The trip point for a shutdown for this parameter is set at the factory.
The shutdown response is always ON. The shutdown response cannot be
turned off. If the differential temperature of the engine oil to the jacket water
exceeds the trip point, the ECM will generate a warning or a shutdown.
"Low Gas Fuel Differential Pressure"

fuel differential pressure decreases to the trip point, the ECM will generate a
warning.
"High Gas Fuel Differential Pressure"

fuel differential pressure exceeds the trip point, the ECM will generate a
warning. This parameter is always on.
"High System Voltage"

The trip point for this parameter is set at the factory. The trip point cannot be
changed. This parameter is always ON. This parameter cannot be turned off.
If the system voltage exceeds the trip point, the ECM will generate a warning.
Trip Points of the Engine Load for High Inlet Air Temperature
The trip points for this parameter can be programmed by the customer. The
shutdown response is always ON. The shutdown response cannot be turned
off. This feature provides a trip point between high engine load and low
engine load. The trip point is used for events that involve high inlet air
temperature. The trip point for the events is based on the engine load. The
possible responses of the system include warning, an impending shutdown,
and shutdown.
"High Inlet Air Temperature at Low Engine Load"

The "Service/Configuration" screen of Cat ET defines the "High Inlet Air
Temp Engine Load Set Point". The ECM can activate an event if the inlet air
temperature exceeds the trip point during the low load operation that is
defined.
"High Inlet Air Temperature at High Engine Load"

The "Service/Configuration" screen of Cat ET defines the "High Inlet Air
Temp Engine Load Set Point". The ECM can activate an event if the inlet air
temperature exceeds the trip point during the high load operation that is
defined.
"High Fuel Pressure"

The trip point for this parameter can be programmed by the customer. The
ECM will activate a warning if the fuel pressure exceeds the trip point.
Conditions for Parameters

Some of the programmable parameters are dependent on the status of an ECM
output before the parameters are allowed to function. Some of the parameters
are allowed to function after the crank terminate relay has been energized for
more than 30 seconds. Other parameters are allowed to function after the
output for the fuel control relay is energized. Some parameters are not
dependent upon any conditions.
The conditions are designed to eliminate false events during start-up if the
customer has programmed a delay time to zero.
A warning will not be activated if the trip point for a shutdown is programmed
to activate before the trip point for a warning.

Programmable Parameters of the Integrated

Temperature Sensing Module
The Integrated Temperature Sensing Module (ITSM) monitors the
temperatures of the cylinder exhaust ports, of the inlets of the turbocharger
turbines and of the outlets of the turbocharger turbines.
If a temperature exceeds an acceptable range, the ITSM can initiate a

"WARNING" or "SHUTDOWN". Both of the responses are available for all
of the parameters. Use Cat ET to perform the following activities:
l Select the available responses.
l Program the level for monitoring.
l Program delay times for each response.
Note: To initiate the responses, the ITSM sends commands to the ECM via
the Cat Data Link. If the connection between the ITSM and the ECM is not
correct, the ITSM cannot initiate any response.
The default settings for the parameters are programmed at the factory. To
accommodate unique applications and sites, the parameters may be
reprogrammed with Cat ET. The screens of Cat ET provide guidance for
changing trip points.
Table 2 lists default examples of the values for the parameters. However, the
values may have changed. Use Cat ET to determine the programming for your
engine. The items can be reprogrammed in order to accommodate the
requirements of individual sites.
Use care when you program the trip points and the delay times. Ensure that
the response of the ITSM is correct for the application. The monitoring system
will accept any setting within the ranges.
If the trip point for a shutdown is lower than the trip point for a warning, the
warning will not be activated.

Separate timers are used in the ITSM for each response that is associated with
a parameter. If a trip point is exceeded, the timer for that event is started.
For example, the warning for the "High Exhaust Temperature" (E801 (1)) can
be set to 655 °C with a 30 second delay. The timer starts counting if the
exhaust port temperature of the number 1 cylinder reaches 655 °C. If the
temperature is not reduced to less than 655 °C within 30 seconds, the event
becomes active and the event is logged.
