The engine supervisory system is designed for Cat G3600 Engines. The engine supervisory system integrates several engine control systems. The engine supervisory system optimizes each controlled parameter to ensure maximum engine performance.
The engine supervisory system consists of the following components:
- Control panel
- Junction box
- Actuators
- Potentiometers
- Relays, solenoids, sensors, and switches
- Wiring
The engine supervisory system includes three systems that are integrated:
Start/Stop/Prelube System - This system controls the starting of the engine, the stopping of the engine, and the prelube pump.
Engine Monitoring And Protection System - This system provides a display of parameters of engine operation. The system generates warnings when one or more parameters are outside acceptable limits. The system can stop the engine if the engine operation reaches a setpoint that is programmed for shutdown. The system can prevent the engine from starting if certain parameters are outside of acceptable limits.
Engine Control System - This system governs the engine. This system controls the air/fuel ratio, the ignition timing, and the limiting of power.
Some of the components within the engine supervisory system perform more than one function. For example, the engine control module is involved with these activities:
- Starting
- Monitoring
- Controlling
- Stopping
