Digital Inputs

Note: There are 8 digital inputs on "EMCP 3.2" and "EMCP 3.3". There are 6 digital inputs on "EMCP 3.1".

Digital Input 1 - Digital Input 1 is used for the emergency stop. This input should be wired to GROUND through an Emergency Stop switch. The input can be set to activate on an active high (normally closed contact) or an active low (normally open contact). Activating the emergency stop input will cause the generator set to stop immediately. The emergency stop input will also prevent the generator set from starting. Once Digital Input 1 is active, the engine will not start until the event has been cleared. Refer to System Operation, Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, RENR7902, "Digital Input Resetting".

Digital Input 2 - Digital Input 2 is used for remotely starting and stopping the generator set. This input should be wired to GROUND through a switch that can be initiated remotely. The input can be set to activate on an active high (normally closed contact) or an active low (normally open contact). If the input is active and the engine is in AUTO, the engine will attempt to start. Once the input becomes inactive the engine will enter the cooldown mode and the engine will stop. The cooldown mode must be programmed.

The remainder of the inputs can be configured for any additional monitoring of the parameters for the engine or the generator. The inputs can be configured by going to the "EVENT I/P FUNCTIONS" parameter under the "SETPOINTS" menu. The "DIGITAL INPUTS" parameter can only be set to "ACTIVE HIGH" or "ACTIVE LOW" in order to initiate a High Warning, Low Warning, High Shutdown, Low Shutdown, or Status.

The inputs can be programmed to monitor the following parameters or components. Refer to System Operation, Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, RENR7902, "Digital Input Programming".

Illustration 3g01101388

General Information

The annunciator module is used to indicate various system events and conditions. The annunciator module uses indicator lights and an audible horn to give the operator information about the current status of the system. The annunciator module can be used to announce faults and/or status signals to the operator. The annunciator module allows the operator to silence the horn. The annunciator module also allows the operator to acknowledge faults to the system.

There are seventeen pair of LED indicators on the annunciator's front panel. Sixteen pair of LED indicators are used to announce events, diagnostics, and ready signals. The seventeenth pair of LED indicators is used to indicate the status of the network and the module. The seventeenth pair of LED indicators can tell the operator if there is a problem with the J1939 data link connection.

Basic Operation

Each pair of LED indicators on the annunciator consists of two of the following three colors: green, yellow and red. For example, a pair of red and yellow LED indicators may be configured for engine oil pressure. If a warning for low engine oil pressure is read over the data link the annunciator will flash the yellow LED and the audible horn will sound. If a shutdown for low engine oil pressure is read over the data link, the annunciator will flash the red LED and the audible horn will sound.

Press the "Alarm Acknowledge" button that is located near the middle of the annunciator in order to acknowledge the shutdown and alarm conditions. Press the "Alarm Acknowledge" button in order to silence the horn.

Press and hold the "Lamp Test" button that is located near the top of the annunciator in order to test the LED indicators. Press and hold the "Lamp Test" button that is located near the top of the annunciator in order to test the horn when the data link is connected or the data link is disconnected.

Configuration

The annunciator module can be customized in order to signal many different conditions that are related to the system. Each pair of the LED indicators must be configured by using the appropriate service tool. Once the service tool has been connected to the annunciator, the user must enter the "Configuration" screen. Each pair of the LED indicators has four settings: SPN, "Trigger Type", "Trigger Severity Level" and "Failure Mode Identifier (FMI)".

For detailed information about the annunciator module, see Systems Operation, Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, RENR7902, "EMCP3".

(6) Voltage Select Switch for the Control Panel (If Equipped)

Use this switch to configure the control panel to monitor the output voltage on generator sets that output dual voltages.

(7) Frequency Adjustment

Use this control to adjust the frequency of the generator output.

(8) Emergency Stop Push Button

The emergency stop push button (ESPB) is used to shut down the generator set during an emergency situation. Do not use the ESPB to shut down the generator set under normal operating conditions.
