Emergency Stop Switch (Remote)

Usage:

3516C 9F4
System Operation Description:

Use this procedure in order to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with the remote emergency stop switch. Use this procedure if the diagnostic code in Table 1 is active or easily repeated.

Table 1
Diagnostic Codes Table 
Description  Conditions which Generate this Code  System Response 
337-2 Remote Emergency Stop Switch erratic, intermittent, or incorrect  The two inputs from the remote emergency stop switch are in the opposite state.  The code is logged. 

The customer's remote emergency stop switch sends two signals to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The signals are used to determine if the remote emergency stop switch is active. The customer's remote emergency stop switch is active when the switch is in the open state and the two signals are high. The customer's remote emergency stop switch is inactive when the switch is in the closed state and the two signals are held low.

If the ECM is powering up and one of the signals from the customer's remote emergency stop switch is in a different state from the other signal, the ECM determines that one of the signals is faulty. If one of the signals from the customer's remote emergency stop switch is in a different state from the other signal, the ECM will generate a diagnostic code that remains active until power to the ECM is cycled. The ECM will not allow the crank cycle to begin if the signals are opposite of each other. The ECM will allow the engine to be started manually in this state.

The ECM monitors the inputs from the customer's remote emergency stop signals at all times. If the engine is running and one of the signals from the customer's remote emergency stop switch changes states, the engine will continue to run. The ECM initiates an emergency stop shutdown only when both signals are high during engine operation.

Relay "R3A" and relay "R3" are energized through terminal 3 of the diode assembly. Terminal 3 of the diode assembly will energize relay "R3A" and relay "R3" for 1 second. The contacts of relay "R3" keep relay "R3A" and relay "R3" energized until the Engine Control Switch (ECS) is cycled to the OFF/RESET position. The contacts of relay "R3A" energizes the coil of relay "R2A". When relay "R2A" is energized, power is removed from the ECM. The ECM will power down. The injection signals to the injector solenoids will stop.

The contacts of relay "R3A" also supply power to terminal 3 of the connector for a timer. When power is applied to terminal 3 of the connector for the timer, the timer will activate. The timer outputs 24 VDC from terminal 6 of the connector for the timer for 2.5 seconds. The 24 VDC from the timer is applied to the coil of the "ASOS" switch and to terminal 2 of the diode assembly. The "ASOS" switch energizes the two air shutoff solenoids. The solenoids trip the air shutoff valves. The 2.5 second time limit for activation of the "ASOS" switch prevents damage to the air shutoff solenoids. A normally open switch at the air shutoff valves will close when the air shutoff solenoid activates the air shutoff valve. The switch inputs a signal to the ECM. The signal notifies the ECM that the air shutoff valves are closed. The ECM will not send injection signals to the injector solenoids until the switch inputs from the air shutoff valves indicate that the valves are open. The air shutoff valve must be manually opened in order to start the engine.

The ECM will not allow the starting sequence to begin when the customer's remote emergency stop switch is activated. The engine will not be able to restart until the following conditions are met:

  • The engine rpm must equal zero.

  • The inputs from the customer's remote emergency stop must go low.

  • The ECM has been reset.

The electrical power to the input for the keyswitch must be turned OFF for three seconds in order to reset the engine ECM after an emergency stop condition.

Note: If one of the inputs from the customer's remote emergency stop switch is in a different state from the other signal, the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) will display the warning "INVALID DATA".
