(9) Machine ECM
(10) Connector "J2"
(11) Connector "J1"

Machine ECM (9) is mounted to the door of the compartment at the front of the operator station. The compartment door provides access to this component.

Machine ECM (9) controls the propulsion system. This ECM has two 70-pin connectors. Connector "J1" (11) and connector "J2" (10) receive input signals from components around the machine which monitor current machine operating conditions. System software compares the gathered input to information which is stored in the memory of the ECM. The software evaluates the current conditions and the software generates an output signal in order to control the propulsion system within set parameters. The machine ECM uses closed loop logic in order to control machine propulsion and steering.

Note: Machine ECM (9) is programmed with self-diagnostic logic. Service information can be accessed by using the operator display on the machine or service information can be accessed by using the electronic service tool (Caterpillar ET).



Illustration 4g01362002
Machine ECM (Connector "J1")

When the electrical disconnect switch is in the ON position, power transfers from the machine ECM circuit breaker to the following terminals for the machine ECM: terminal "J1-31", terminal "J1-39" and terminal "J1-47". This voltage input provides the power for the processor. When the main power relay is energized, power transfers from the limp home circuit breaker to terminal "J1-1" of the machine ECM. This voltage input provides the “wakeup” signal to the machine ECM. The machine ECM is grounded at the following terminals: terminal "J1-13", terminal "J1-23" and terminal "J1-57".

After machine ECM (9) has been activated, the ECM generates an 8 volt power output signal from terminal "J1-44". Power transfers from this terminal to the following locations:

  • Contact "1" of the speed sensor on the right propulsion motor

  • Contact "1" of the speed sensor on the left propulsion motor

Machine ECM (9) provides a ground path for the speed sensor on the left propulsion motor and the speed sensor on the right propulsion motor at terminal "J1-45". The machine ECM provides a ground path for the EDCs on the propulsion pumps at terminal "J1-50".

The machine ECM and the two operator control units are externally the same. However, due to internal differences, the machine ECM has a different part number than the operator control units. In order to prevent incorrect software installation, the harness configuration at each control unit provides a series of switch input signals. These signals identify the unit's function. The machine ECM is wired as shown:

  • Terminal "J1-26" (ground)

  • Terminal "J1-27" (open)

  • Terminal "J1-28" (open)

  • Terminal "J1-32" (ground)

Machine ECM (9) communicates with the other control units on the machine and with electronic service tools through the Cat Data Link. The Cat Data Link is a proprietary communication standard that was developed by Caterpillar. The Cat Data Link requires a positive line and a negative line. The positive line is connected to terminal "J1-10" of the machine ECM. The negative line is connected to terminal "J1-20" of the machine ECM.

The electronic control system analyzes input signals and determines if a output signal should be sent to the EDCs on the propulsion pumps. The forward EDC on the left propulsion pump is controlled at terminal "J1-48" of the machine ECM. The reverse EDC on the left propulsion pump is controlled at terminal "J1-49" of the machine ECM. The forward EDC on the right propulsion pump is controlled at terminal "J1-51" of the machine ECM. The reverse EDC on the right propulsion pump is controlled at terminal "J1-52" of the machine ECM.



Illustration 5g01362007
Machine ECM (Connector "J2")

When the main power relay is energized, power transfers from the limp home circuit breaker to terminal "J2-1" of the machine ECM. The machine ECM uses this voltage input in order to determine if the propulsion system should be actuated. When the active propulsion lever is out of the NEUTRAL position when the engine is started, the machine electronic control system does not operate the propulsion system.

Machine ECM (9) receives a digital input signal from the speed sensor on the left propulsion motor at terminal "J2-26". The machine ECM receives a second input signal from this speed sensor at terminal "J2-27". When the sensor is functioning properly, these input signals will have the same frequency. However, the frequency signals have a “phase offset”. The machine ECM uses the frequency of the signals in order to determine the speed of the track. The machine ECM determines the direction of travel by checking which terminal receives the leading signal and which terminal receives the lagging signal.

Machine ECM (9) receives a digital input signal from the speed sensor on the right propulsion motor at terminal "J2-33". The machine ECM receives a second input signal from this speed sensor at terminal "J2-32". Similarly to the signals from the speed sensor on the left track, the input signals from the right speed sensor should have the same frequency, but the phases of the signals should be offset. The machine ECM uses the frequency of the signals in order to determine the speed of the track. The machine ECM determines the direction of travel by checking which terminal receives the leading signal and which terminal receives the lagging signal.

The CAN lines provide high speed communication between machine ECM (9) and the engine ECM. The CAN requires a positive line and a negative line. The machine ECM contains two positive CAN lines and two negative CAN lines. The positive lines are connected to terminal "J2-56" and to terminal "J2-67" of the machine ECM. The negative lines are connected to terminal "J2-68" and to terminal "J2-70" of the machine ECM.

The machine's electronic control system monitors the position of the active propulsion lever. When the system determines that the active propulsion lever is in the REVERSE range, machine ECM (9) directs a digital output signal from terminal "J2-2". This signal is sent to the backup alarm.

Illustration 13g01362112
Rear of Machine
(18) CAN resistor

The electronic control system is equipped with two CAN resistors. One CAN resistor (18) is located at the rear of the machine under the operator platform.

Differences in materials along the CAN bus can cause data pulses in the bus to reflect back through the bus. This condition also known as “jitter”, creates unwanted noise in the CAN bus. “Jitter” in the communication lines between computers can distort the original data signals. The distortion can result in loss of data.

Data in the CAN bus can also be contaminated with radio frequency interference (RFI). This interference can be caused by a number of devices which operate on or near the machine. RFI creates noise in the communication lines which can also distort the original data signals and cause data loss.

In order to prevent loss of data in the communication lines, a termination resistor is required at each end of the CAN bus. The CAN resistors act as termination resistors. The CAN resistors absorb unwanted noise in the communication system which can result in abnormal machine operation.
