MIDS

The Machine Information Display System (MIDS) is a device which enables the operator to monitor engine operation. The MIDS receives information from the ECM. The device cannot be used for programming. A screen display and a keypad provide the interface for the operator.

The keypad is protected in a sealed membrane. When you press a key, press firmly. When a key is pressed sufficiently, a small red indicator in the upper left corner of the keypad will flash once.

When the control panel is powered up, the screen becomes active. To view the options for the display, press the "?" key. Table 1 lists the menu.

To select an option, press the number on the keypad that corresponds to the selection. To exit the option, press the "?" key or any of the numbered keys. It is not necessary to return to the menu in order to select a different option. When you press a different numbered key, the corresponding option is displayed.

"EMERGENCY STOP" Button


NOTICE

Only use the "Emergency Stop" button in order to stop the engine in an emergency situation. Do not use the "Emergency Stop" button for normal engine stopping.

To prevent damage to the engine, use the mode control switch or use the remote start/stop initiate contact for normal engine stopping.


The fuel and the ignition are immediately shut off when the "EMERGENCY STOP" button is pressed. No postlube cycle occurs.

The "EMERGENCY STOP" button and the engine control switch must be reset before the engine will start. To reset the "EMERGENCY STOP" button, turn the button clockwise. To reset the engine control switch, turn the switch to the OFF/RESET position.

Note: More than one "EMERGENCY STOP" button may be available for use.

Indicators

The remote panel has three indicators for the status of the engine operation.

Illumination of the green "ENGINE ON" indicator indicates normal operation.

The yellow "ACTIVE ALARM" indicator illuminates if the control system initiates a warning for an event or a diagnostic condition.

The red "ENGINE FAILURE" indicator illuminates if the control system shuts down the engine due to an event or a diagnostic condition. The "ENGINE FAILURE" indicator also illuminates if an emergency stop is performed.

"MANUAL PRELUBE" Switch and "PRELUBE ACTIVE" Indicator

The control for the prelube is not used.

Engine Control Switch

The engine control switch has four positions: "AUTO", "START", "STOP" and "OFF/RESET"

"AUTO" - When the engine control switch is in the "AUTO" position (12 o'clock), the system is configured for remote operation. When the remote start/stop initiate contact closes, the prelube system will operate. When the prelube pressure is sufficient, the engine will start. When the remote start/stop initiate contact opens, the engine will shut off. If the cool down cycle is programmed, the engine will operate for the cool down period before the engine stops. The cool down cycle can be programmed for a 0 to 30 minute period.

"START" - When the engine control switch is turned to the "START" position (3 o'clock), the prelube system will operate. When the prelube pressure is sufficient, the engine will start. The engine will operate until the ECM receives a shutdown signal.

The following conditions cause a shutdown signal:

  • The remote start/stop initiate contact opens when the engine control switch is in the "AUTO" position.

  • The engine control switch is turned to the "STOP" position.

  • The engine control switch is turned to the "OFF/RESET" position.

  • The "EMERGENCY STOP" button is pressed.

  • An undesirable operating condition is sensed and an engine shutdown is initiated by the ECM.

"STOP" - When the engine control switch is turned to the "STOP" position (6 o'clock), the engine will shut off. If the cool down cycle is programmed, the engine will operate for the cool down period before the engine stops. When the engine is coasting to a stop, a postlube cycle will operate. The power to the control panel is maintained when the engine control switch is in the "STOP" position. The "STOP" position can be used to troubleshoot some problems without starting the engine.

"OFF/RESET" - When the engine control switch is turned to the "OFF/RESET" position (9 o'clock), the engine is immediately shut off and the diagnostic lights are reset. Power is removed from the control panel and from the actuators after the engine completes the postlube cycle.

"DESIRED SPEED" Potentiometer

The "DESIRED SPEED" potentiometer allows the operator to adjust the desired engine speed. This is achieved by providing a 0 to 5 volt input to the ECM.
