Installation Procedure
Identify a mounting location for the 491-6842 Electronic Control Module (A6:P1 ECM). The ECM should only be mounted on the power end of the well stimulation pump, or remotely. Measure the location to ensure correct spacing for the ECM "footprint" and the wiring harness routing. The ECM, must be mounted in a location that will not allow exposure to temperatures above
The ECM is normally mounted on the driveshaft side of the well stimulation pump. Attachment of the ECM and bracket to the floor of the trailer is not recommended. The ECM and the ECM bracket should be mounted to a single component on the power end or other rigid surface, clear of routine maintenance operations.
Certain components in this kit must be welded onto the pump to complete the installation. Follow all the guidelines for welding. Refer to Operation and Maintenance, SEBU9149, Welding on Machines and Engines with Electronic Controls - Well Stimulation Pumps.
Note: Ensure that power is disconnected from the battery during the beginning steps of the installation.
Note: Pictures show approximate locations of component installation.

Illustration 36 | g06341025 |
PEMS Power/CAN Connection Diagram #1 |
Run wiring for the power (pin 1), ground (pin 2), keyswitch from trailer (pin3), and CAN (pin 5 for CAN+ and pin 6 for CAN-) to the 6-pin connector on the ECM mounting bracket. Refer to the equipment-specific wiring diagram to determine where to splice into power, ground, keyswitch, and CAN. Important to perform resistance check.
J1939 Network Connection Group
The J1939 network connection provides a standard "CAN" bus connection operating at a 250,000 baud rate. The J1939 network connection group must be connected to implement the PEM communication ECM’s J1939 to Modbus feature. Reference the "J1939 Communications Wiring Requirements" section for specific wiring requirements. The CAN A or CAN 1 is the correct CAN wiring. CAN B or CAN 2 is not to be used.
J1939 Communications Wiring Requirements
The J1939 communications connection provides a connection between PEMS ECM and the J1939 network. The J1939 network contains a bus along with wiring to connect the nodes to the bus. The bus is terminated with a 120 ohm resister on each end to complete the network. Refer to Table 5 for the J1939 network parameters.
Note: When connecting the J1939 / CAN wires from the PEMS ECM to the piece of equipment, ensure that the wires are connected to the CAN 1 / Global CAN wires on the equipment. Some pieces of equipment will have other connections labeled CAN 2 / Local CAN. If the PEMS ECM is connected to the wrong CAN connection, the proper data will not be recorded and sent to user interface.

Resistance Check
With the system installed and the customer wiring connected to the 6-pin connector on the ECM mounting bracket, check the resistance of the data link on the service tool connector on the side of the ECM bracket. The data link resistance between pins F and G should be approximately 60 +/- 10 ohms.
If the resistance of the wiring harness is not within specification, refer to Troubleshooting, M0078614, "Service Tool Does Not Communicate".
Flash the PEMS ECM
Note: Use the most recent software flash file available on SIS web.
The ECM is flashed to upgrade the software. Flash programming of the ECM must also be done if the ECM has been replaced. The Cat® Electronic Technician (ET) contains the program WinFlash. WinFlash is used to load software into the ECM.
Using Winflash, connect to the PEMS ECM and install the most recent flash file available on SIS web. Refer to Systems Operation and Troubleshooting, M0078614 for additional information.
Programming the PEMS ECM
The ECM must be programmed to include information specific to the installation.
Items that must be programmed:
- Product ID: Engine Serial Number
- Equipment ID: Trailer VIN number
- Machine Serial Number: This is used to set the VIN for the trailer that the pump is on. This value must be set to identify the trailer that the pump is part of.
- Well Stimulation Pump Fluid End Serial Number: This is used to set the serial number of the Fluid end of the well stimulation pump.
- Well Stimulation Pump Power End Serial Number: This is used to set the serial number of the Power end of the well stimulation pump.
- Well Stimulation Pump Plunger Diameter: This information can be found in the pump specifications manual.
- Well Stimulation Pump Stroke Length: This information can be found in the pump specifications manual.
- Well Stimulation Pump Gear Ratio: Listed on the serial plate on the side of the pump
- Well Stimulation Pump Rated Speed: This information can be found in the pump specifications manual.
- Well Stimulation Pump Plunger Firing Order: This information can be found in the pump specifications manual.
PEMS software is capable of detecting additional information that can be presented to the operator of the well stimulation pump to help with preventative maintenance.
By default, these additional monitoring features are not turned on in the software.
To activate the additional features, there are 2 configuration parameters that must be set up properly.
Note: To enable these additional features, requires factory passwords and additional charges to the customer will apply.
Illustration 38 | g06325836 |
Note: When the FPS system asks: Is this attachment being installed on a Caterpillar branded product? The user must select "No" since the well stimulation pump trailer is not manufactured by Caterpillar.
- Well Stimulation Pump Condition Monitoring System Installation Status: This feature must be set to "Installed".
- Well Stimulation Pump Condition Monitoring System Enable Status: This feature must be set to "Enabled".
- Well Stimulation Pump Oil Filtration System Installation Status: This feature must be set to "Enabled" when Cat filtration is present.
Once the parameters have been set up, the additional monitoring features will be enabled in software.
Extra event code trip points will be available in the configuration screen. The trip points may be set based on the customers recommendations.
Operation and Maintenance
This system is designed to monitor the operating conditions of the pump and provide the operator with feedback to extend the service life of both the power end and the fluid end.
The basic PEMS includes the following:
- Pump speed sensing
- Oil pressure monitoring
- Oil temperature monitoring
- Suction pressure monitoring
- Discharge pressure monitoring
- Vibration monitoring
By monitoring each of these inputs, the system is able to determine when the service life of the components is being reduced based on the operation of the pump. The system can also aid in determining when maintenance is required for the internal components of the pump.
Interval: Daily
Pump Electronics Monitoring System - Check
- Visually inspect the Pump Electronic Monitoring System to ensure that all connectors are connected, the wiring harness is secured firmly to the pump, and the sensors are properly installed.
Interval: Every 250 Hours
Pump Electronic Monitoring System - Inspect
- Visually inspect the Pump Electronic Monitoring System to ensure that all connectors are connected, the wiring harness is secured firmly to the pump, and the sensors are properly installed.
- Check to ensure all the mounting hardware is fastened securely to the pump.
