Electronic Control Module (ECM) |
The electronic control module (ECM) is the main component of the Implement Electronic Control system. The ECM makes decisions based on information that is received from input and memory. Then, the corresponding response is sent through the outputs. Each input and output of the ECM are joined to the machine harness by two connectors. Each of the connectors have 70 contacts. The ECM is located inside the lower right hand side of the right console. In order to gain access to the ECM, the operator seat and an access cover must be removed. The platform access plate can be removed in order to gain greater access. The J1 and J2 harness connectors are fastened to the ECM by using a socket head screw with an integral hex head. A 4.00 mm allen wrench is used in order to tighten the screw to 6 ± 1 N·m (53 ± 9 lb in). The ECM is programmable. The Caterpillar Electronic Technician service tool is used in order to flash the ECM with new software. For more information, see Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Flash Program". There are no visual indicators on the ECM. Information regarding the Implement Electronic Control System is shown on the Vital Information Display System (VIDS). The implement ECM sends information to the VIDS main module by using the CAT data link. Each electronic control module that uses the CAT data link to communicate has a module identifier (MID). The MID for the implement ECM is the number 082.

ECM Input
Numerous inputs will inform the implement ECM about the status of the machine condition. Two types of inputs exist: switch type and sensor type. A switch will provide a signal to the ECM in the form of an open, ground, or +battery signal. Sensors provide a signal to the ECM that will change in a proportional manner in order to reflect changing machine conditions. Input information is provided in the preceding tables. The status of the inputs can be viewed. The inputs are accessed from the "Parameter Status" menu in the ET software.
ECM Output
The implement ECM responds to decisions by sending electrical signals through the various outputs. The outputs are either on/off type or the outputs are proportional type. The type of output depends on the requirements of the component. The outputs will create an action or the outputs provide information. Output information is provided in the preceding tables. The status of the outputs can be viewed. The outputs are accessed from the "Parameter Status" menu in the ET software.
Input/Output
The CAT data link is bidirectional. This will allow the ECM to receive information and the ECM can send information. The data link is designed to carry communications between the electronic control modules and communications between service tools and electronic control modules on the machine. The communication permits information to be shared. The data link is not a visible component. The data link consists of internal ECM circuits and the connecting harness wiring. For more information, see the topic System Operation, "Data Link".
