INTRODUCTION
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) also called "controller" Matches hydraulic horsepower to engine horsepower Receives, processes, and sends signals Warns of machine problems Varies pump flow rates Provides diagnostics
This presentation introduces the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) used on the Caterpillar 320 and 330 Hydraulic Excavators. These ECU's are referred to as "controllers" because they match hydraulic horsepower to engine horsepower by controlling engine rpm. The controller receives input signals from the engine, the hydraulic system and the operator. As operating conditions change, the controller sends output signals to change engine speed, warn the operator of potential problems and to vary the hydraulic pump flow rate. This presentation will explain the major differences between the 320/330 controller and those used on the "E" series hydraulic excavators. The ways in which this controller simplifies machine operation and diagnostics for both operators and servicemen will also be discussed.

Component Location and Function

Controller located outside the cab Totally sealed unit
3 LED's (arrow) for some diagnostics
The controller is located in an outside compartment above and behind the battery box. A panel must be removed to access the controller. The controller is a totally sealed unit like the transmission controls for Caterpillar Off-highway Trucks and Wheel Tractor-Scrapers. The only time when removal of the compartment cover will be necessary is when the monitor panel on the operator's console in the cab shows the controller fault symbol or when the diagnostic error codes indicate that the three diagnostic Light Emitting Diodes (LED's - arrow) need to be checked. The fault symbols and error codes will be discussed in detail later in this presentation.

If controller fault symbol stays ON, check the LED's
As mentioned in the previous slide, if the controller fault symbol on the monitor panel comes ON and stays ON, a problem in the controller system is indicated. The three diagnostic LED's on the controller will provide an indication of the problem. When the yellow LED turns ON, a communication problem with the monitor is indicated. If the red LED is ON (steady or flashing), the Central Processor Unit (CPU) is not functioning correctly and must be replaced. During engine start-up, the three LED's will briefly illuminate. The red and yellow LED's will quickly turn OFF leaving just the green LED ON, which indicates normal operation.
Yellow LED ON, communication problem with monitor Red LED ON steady or flashing, replace CPU
Green LED ON, normal operation

Monitor panel: - Push buttons activate many functions - Displays information
The operator's console has a monitor panel that permits several machine functions to be activated with push buttons. The monitor panel also displays information about the machine operating status and diagnostic information. The machine is equipped with an engine speed dial that has ten different positions. This digital rotary switch replaces the governor control lever which was used in earlier hydraulic excavators. The engine speed dial will also be discussed in detail later in this presentation.
Engine speed dial: - Ten positions - Replaces governor control lever

Two backup systems: - Engine speed dial (two switches) - Pump control (one switch) Speed dial rear switch: - Normally run in "AUT" position - Dial disconnected in "MAN" position Speed dial front switch: - "Rabbit" position increases rpm - "Tortoise" position decreases rpm Pump control switch: - Normally run in "AUT" position - "Tortoise" position connects PRV to backup resistor
Two backup systems are provided to prevent machine down situations. One backup system is for the engine speed dial and the second is for the pump controls. Each system is activated by toggle switches at the rear of the operator's seat arm consoles. The engine speed dial circuit (shown) has two backup switches on the right console. The rear switch is normally run in the "AUT" position. When the switch is moved to the "MAN" position, the engine speed dial signal is disconnected from the controller. The front switch is then used to manually control the engine speed. Push the front switch toward the "Rabbit" to increase engine speed or toward the "Tortoise" to decrease engine speed. The pump control backup switch (not visible in this view) is the single toggle switch on the left console. The backup switch has two positions-"AUT" and "Tortoise." This switch also is normally run in the "AUT" position. If a pump control problem occurs, move the switch to the "Tortoise" position. The pump control is bypassed and power to the Proportional Reducing Valve (PRV) is supplied through a backup resistor.

Monitor panel: - Upper section has readout devices - Lower section has push buttons - LED's tell when function is ON or OFF Four red LED's make up warning system master lamp Three digit display: - Operating parameters - Error codes - Used in diagnostics LCD gauges: - Engine temperature - Fuel level - Hydraulic oil temperature
The monitor panel, located in front and to the right of the operator's seat, has two sections. The upper section contains readout devices and the lower section contains push button switches which control many machine functions. The push buttons are labeled and have LED's which indicate when the function is ON or OFF. At the top of the upper section are four red LED's. These LED's make up the master lamp, which is part of the warning system. The warning system is activated when various machine system faults are detected by the controller. In the top right corner of the upper section is a three digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which indicates various machine operating parameters and, during diagnostic procedures, displays information on machine systems, components, and error codes. Below this display are three rotary LCD's which indicate engine coolant temperature, fuel quantity and hydraulic oil temperature.

Seven LED fault symbols
Across the bottom of the upper section (below the rotary displays) are seven LED fault symbols that illuminate when an out of tolerance condition occurs. These symbols (from left to right) are: - Air intake heater (for 320 Excavator with 3066 engine) - Charging system - Engine coolant temperature - Hydraulic oil temperature - Engine oil pressure - Controller system - Monitor system
Master lamp turns ON when a fault symbol is activated
The master lamp (mentioned earlier) turns ON when the engine coolant temperature, hydraulic oil temperature, or engine oil pressure fault symbols are activated.

Ether aid switch Start switch Engine speed dial: - Ten positions - Each position has a specific no load speed
This view shows the ether aid switch, start switch and the engine speed dial with the "tortoise" and "rabbit" symbols and an ascending pictorial scale. As previously stated, the engine speed dial has ten positions. The monitor panel indicates the engine speed dial position from 1 through 10. Each dial position has a specific no load engine speed.

PULSE WIDTH MODULATED (PWM) SIGNALS
VOLTAGE LEVEL
MEAN VOLTAGE
VOLTAGE ON
ONE CYCLE
VOLTAGE OFF
9 Pulse Width Modulated Signals

ECU sends PWM signals to: - PRV - Hydraulic oil temperature sensor - Governor actuator motor PWM signals: - Specific voltage level - "Pulsed" on and off - ON time controlled by ECU - Cannot be measured accurately with VOM
The 320/330 uses a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal from the controller to the Proportional Reducing Valve (PRV) which is identical to the signal used on the "E" series hydraulic excavators. In addition, the hydraulic oil temperature sensor and governor actuator motor on the 320/330 receive PWM signals. A PWM signal is a specific voltage level (for example, from 0 to 24 volts) that is "pulsed" (turned ON and OFF repeatedly). This voltage level is represented by the height of the vertical step in the slide. The time of the "pulse" (or ON time) will be varied by the controller. The time is represented by the horizontal length of the "pulse" in the slide. This time is normally a percentage of the total ON time available for the "pulse." A PWM signal cannot be measured accurately with a VOM because the longer a "pulse" is ON, the "mean voltage value" that is measured will also be higher. The "mean voltage value" will never be as high as the pulsed voltage level. This same condition, but in reverse, holds true for shorter "pulses." A lower "mean voltage value" will be measured.

Power mode selector switch sends signal to controller LED's indicate levels I, II, or III Power modes match machine power to task
The power mode selector switch, located on the monitor panel, signals the controller which power mode level has been chosen. Three symbols with corresponding LED's indicate which level (I, II or III) has been selected. Each time the switch is pushed, the power mode will cycle to a different level and illuminate an LED. The three power modes permit the operator to match the machine power to the task by providing a different amount of hydraulic horsepower for the implement, swing and travel systems. The amount of available engine horsepower that can be utilized in each of the three power modes is: Power Mode I - up to 65% Power Mode II - up to 85% Power Mode III - up to 100% NOTE: At engine start-up, the controller automatically defaults to Power Mode II.

The three curves on this diagram show pump pressure plotted against pump flow for each of the three power modes when only an implement or swing circuit is loaded. Each curve shows the flow for one pump when both pumps are equally loaded. The controller detects when only an implement or swing circuit is loaded because the implement/swing pressure switch at the main control valve is closed and the travel pressure switch at the main control valve is open (no pressure in the travel circuits). The top curve, for Power Mode III, shows that the pump begins to destroke at Point A, which is approximately 14700 kPa (2130 psi). At that time, the power shift pressure is approximately 1750 kPa (255 psi). The middle curve, for Power Mode II, shows that the pump begins to destroke at Point B, which is approximately 13700 kPa (1990 psi). At that time, the power shift pressure is approximately 2000 kPa (290 psi).

These two curves show the pump pressure plotted against flow when only one pump is loaded for either an implement/swing circuit or for the travel circuit. The values shown here are for Power Mode III with the engine speed dial at position 10. Again, the controller can detect when only an implement is loaded because the implement/swing pressure switch at the main control valve is closed and the travel pressure switch at the main control valve is open (no pressure in the travel circuits). The pump begins to destroke at Point A, which is approximately 17100 kPa (2490 psi). Power shift pressure will be approximately 900 kPa (130 psi) at that time.
Only implement loaded: - Implement/swing pressure switch closed - Travel pressure switch open

The controller can detect when only the travel circuit is loaded because the travel pressure switch at the main control valve is closed and the implement/swing pressure switch at the main control valve is open (no pressure in the implement/swing circuits). When using one pump to load a travel circuit (as in a pivot turn), the pump begins to destroke at Point B, which is approximately 27400 kPa (3980 psi). Power shift pressure will be approximately 300 kPa (45 psi) at that time. Thus, the controller sends a constant level of electrical signal to the PRV when loading the implement/swing or travel circuit. After the engine speed decreases to the target speed of approximately 1750 rpm, the controller varies the electrical signal to the PRV to maintain that target speed.
Constant signal to PRV as circuit is loaded Engine rpm decreases to target speed Signal to PRV varies to maintain target speed

22 Pump Regulation
Pump flow regulated by controller Controller sends electrical signal to PRV PRV sends pressure signal to pumps Pressure signal affects both pumps
Pump flow is regulated by the controller. As machine operation begins, the implement/swing pressure switch or the travel pressure switch closes because pressure in the main control valve logic circuit increases. The controller then processes the signals from the power mode switch, engine speed dial and the engine speed sensor to determine the level of electrical signal that is sent to the proportional reducing valve. The PRV then sends a variable reduced pilot system pressure signal (called power shift pressure) to the hydraulic pump regulators. Power shift pressure affects both pumps at the same time based on the power mode level selected by the operator.

Power Mode I: Any engine speed dial position

Signal from controller to PRV is constant and high Pumps destroke at low system pressure Both pump flows vary with pump pressures
In Power Mode I, the electrical signal from the controller to the PRV is constant and high. The PRV sends a constant and high power shift pressure to the pumps causing them to begin destroking at a relatively low pump system pressure. As system pressure in each pump increases above 10700 kPa (1550 psi), the power shift pressure does not change. The increased pump pressures, acting internally in the pump regulators, begin to destroke the pumps. Both pump flows will increase or decrease as pump pressures decrease or increase. Power Mode II: Any engine speed dial position
Signal from controller to PRV is constant but less than Power Mode I Pumps destroke at slightly higher system pressure Power shift pressure remains constant Signal from controller is constant but less than Power Mode II Pumps destroke at higher pressure than Power Mode II Power shift pressure remains constant Controller functions as underspeed control As engine speed decreases, controller signal increases Controller varies signal to maintain engine rpm near full load
In Power Mode II, the electrical signal from the controller to the PRV is still constant but slightly lower than in Power Mode I, so the power shift pressure to the pumps is also slightly lower. The pumps begin to destroke at a slightly higher pump system pressure than in Power Mode I. As pump pressure increases and flow decreases, the power shift pressure will remain relatively constant. Again, pump flow is regulated by the individual pump system pressure acting internally in the pump regulators (as described in Power Mode I). Power Mode III: Engine speed dial positions 1 through 9 In Power Mode III, the electrical signal from the controller to the PRV is still constant but slightly lower than in Power Mode II, so the power shift pressure to the pumps is also slightly lower. The pumps begin to destroke at a slightly higher pump system pressure than in Power Mode II. As stated previously, when pump pressure increases and flow decreases, the power shift pressure will remain relatively constant. Pump flow is still regulated by the individual pump system pressure acting internally in the pump regulators (as described in Power Modes I and II). Power Mode III: Engine speed dial position 10 If the engine speed dial is at 10 and the pumps are loaded, the controller functions as an underspeed control. The controller monitors engine speed from the speed sensor and, as engine speed decreases to near full load (1980 rpm for 320, 1950 rpm for 330), the controller begins to increase the electrical signal to the PRV. The PRV increases the power shift signal to the pumps and the pumps begin to destroke. The controller continually varies the electrical signal to the PRV to maintain engine speed as near to full load rpm as possible. NOTE TO THE INSTRUCTOR: For a detailed explanation of the function and operation of the hydraulic pump regulators, refer to STMG 619 "320/330 Hydraulic Excavators--Pumps and Pump Controls" (Form SESV1619).

Hydraulic torque for each speed dial position
This chart shows hydraulic torque in each of the three power modes for each of the ten engine speed dial positions. The normal engine torque curve (black) is at the top. The Power Mode III torque curve (red) is the second curve from the top. When the engine speed dial is in position 10 and the machine begins working, the engine speed will decrease from high idle rpm toward the full load speed of 1800 rpm. The full load speed is near the target speed (1750 rpm for 320, 1790 rpm for 330) for Power Mode III and dial position 10. After the engine rpm decreases to the target speed, the controller varies the electrical signal to the PRV to maintain the engine rpm at or near the target speed.
Power Mode III, dial position 10 Engine rpm decreases to target speed Controller varies signal to maintain target rpm
STMG 621 8/92 Power Mode III, dial position 9 or below Engine rpm decreases, pumps destroke Steady signal to PRV Power Modes I and II are similar
- 43 -
When the engine speed dial is in position 9 or below (but still in Power Mode III) and the machine begins working, the engine rpm will decrease from the no load speed for that dial position until the pump system pressure begins to destroke the pump. In this condition, the controller sends a steady signal to the PRV and pump flow is controlled only by the pump system pressures. The Power Mode II curve (blue) and Power Mode I curve (yellow) show similar characteristics. Power Mode II engine speed begins at dial position 9 and the controller sends a steady and slightly higher electrical signal to the PRV than in Power Mode III and dial position 9. Power Mode I begins at dial position 7 and the controller sends a steady and slightly higher electrical signal to the PRV than in Power Mode II. As the machine begins working, the engine speed will decrease from the no load speed for a selected dial position until pump pressure begins to destroke the pumps. Remember, the controller sends a steady signal to the PRV during these conditions and pump flow is controlled only by pump system pressures.

Anti-stall function
The anti-stall function of the 320/330 controller replaces the self-learning function which was used on the "E" series excavator controllers. When the machine is operating in Power Mode I and II or in Power Mode III with the engine speed dial in position 9 or below, the power shift pressure is constant. (Remember, however, that the power shift pressures are different for each of these conditions.) The controller monitors engine speed and, if the engine speed decreases 250 rpm below the no load speed of the engine speed dial, the controller begins to increase the electrical signal to the PRV. The PRV then increases the power shift pressure sent to the pumps and causes the pump flow rates to decrease, thereby unloading the engine. When the engine speed increases above the engine speed dial less 250 rpm value, the controller again provides a constant electrical signal to the PRV.
Engine 250 rpm below no load speed for selected dial position Signal to PRV increases Flow rates decrease to unload engine
STMG 621 8/92 Power Mode II, dial position 8 Engine rpm decreases to 1500 Signal to PRV increases, pumps destroke
- 45 -
In the example shown on the graph, a 320 excavator is operating in Power Mode II with the engine speed dial in position 8. The no load engine speed is 1750 rpm. As the machine begins to operate, the engine speed decreases to 1500 rpm. To this point, the controller was supplying a constant electrical signal to the PRV. After the engine speed decreases to 1500 rpm, however, the controller begins to increase the signal to the PRV causing the pumps to destroke and unload the engine. When engine speed increases above 1500 rpm, the controller again supplies a constant electrical signal to the PRV. NOTE: The anti-stall feature functions as described above for each of the engine speed dial positions and power mode levels except Power Mode III and dial position 10.

Purpose of AEC: - Reduce fuel consumption - Reduce noise - Decrease rpm when demand is low
The purpose of the automatic engine speed control that is used on the "E" series excavators and 200 family of excavators is to reduce fuel consumption and engine/machine noise by automatically reducing engine speed when no hydraulic power is demanded. The 320/330 AEC has these same features, but also slightly decreases engine rpm when the hydraulic power demand is very low. This rpm decrease occurs regardless of the power mode that has been selected. The three levels of AEC on the 320/330 are defined as:

1. No load: No hydraulic demand (control levers in NEUTRAL or HOLD) for 3 seconds. 2. Light load: Engine speed is 50 rpm or less below the no load setting for 10 or more seconds while an implement or travel circuit is in operation. 3. Normal load: Engine speed is 70 rpm or more below the no load setting while an implement or travel circuit is in operation. NOTE: Specific engine speed settings for each condition are provided in the Serviceman's Handouts in the back of this presentation.

Switch operates only with no demand
The final speed variable in the system is the one-touch low idle switch which operates only when no demand is placed on the hydraulic system. The first depression (ON) of the switch decreases the engine rpm from the no load speed setting (either 100 rpm or 1300 rpm below high idle) to a setting of approximately 950 rpm for the 320 Excavator or 850 rpm for the 330. The second depression (OFF) of the switch returns the engine speed setting to the previous no load value. If a hydraulic load is applied while the engine speed setting is at 950 or 850 rpm, the setting will increase to the engine speed dial setting. If the one-touch low idle switch is depressed (ON) within three seconds of load removal (before the no load speed setting can be obtained) and then depressed (OFF) again three or more seconds after load removal, the engine speed setting will return to the selected AEC speed setting (either 100 rpm below high idle or 1300 rpm).

To access remaining ports, push ALARM CANCEL and WORK MODE buttons together
To access the remaining 20 "ports" of information push the ALARM CANCEL and WORK MODE buttons simultaneously. The next port will show "1" and a number (1 through 10) where the "1" indicates the port selected and the number indicates a speed dial position. If the engine speed dial is moved, the display will change to show the new dial position. If a malfunction in the engine speed dial is detected, the display will show "1Er." Push the ALARM CANCEL and WORK MODE buttons again and the next port, Travel Pressure Switch, appears with "2oF" showing in the display. The "2" indicates the port and "oF" indicates that the travel pressure switch is OFF (or open). If either travel control is moved and the travel pilot signal pressure begins to increase, the display will show "2On." This code indicates that the travel pressure switch has closed. Release the travel control and the "2oF" appears again indicating that the pressure switch has opened. Again, each succeeding port is accessed by pushing the ALARM CANCEL and WORK MODE buttons simultaneously. Some of the ports are "spares" and are not currently associated with an electronic component. Those ports which have associated components can be turned ON or OFF by actuating the particular circuit or system which contains the component (as explained with the travel pressure switch). NOTE TO THE INSTRUCTOR: For additional information on the port numbers and the electronic component for each port, refer to the Testing and Adjusting modules (Forms SENR5473 and SENR5496) in the 320 and 330 Service Manuals respectively.

Calibration Mode: - Provides troubleshooting information - Used to calibrate components - Used to perform tests Use service manual for tests
The Data Mode service function provides an easy way to check the machine conditions. A second level of diagnostics, the Calibration Mode, provides additional troubleshooting information. The Calibration Mode is used to calibrate various components after replacement, or to perform functional tests on the systems after adjustments have been made. The operation of the Calibration Mode is very similar to the Data Mode through the use of the monitor panel switches. However, some of the tests are longer, so the service manual must be used as a reference.

The controller has a continual self-diagnostic function during the time that the machine is in operation. The controller will store error codes if a fault is detected, even intermittently. This list is the error history on important systems since the last time the memory was cleared. Two ways to check these codes are in ascending order or descending order. Each time the AEC button is pushed, the sequentially stored codes are displayed. The "Hd" means that the top of the code list will be displayed, and the list will scroll in ascending order from "F1" through "F48." As the numbers are scrolled and a fault code is displayed, the scrolling stops. Push the AEC button again to continue the scrolling. The list can be checked in descending order by pressing the WASHER button. If a fault code is displayed, the descending scroll will stop. Push the WASHER button again to continue.

The PRV sweep test is initiated by pressing the LIGHT button to turn ON the LED for Light 2. The left column of the display has the letter "P" which indicates that the PRV is being tested. The two right columns show the continuous pressure sweep from 1 to 32 and back to 1 kg/cm2 pressure. To convert these metric units to psi, multiply the indicated value by 14.22. Thus, the pressure sweep is from approximately 14 to 455 psi. If the power shift pressure is tested at the pumps, the pressure will cycle up and down, indicating that the PRV is cycling. If the pressure does not cycle, check the PRV and the related electrical connections. NOTE: To obtain the most accurate readings, perform this test with the engine speed dial at position 10. This test is very similar to Test 1 for the "E" series controllers.

Power shift pressure adjustment Push WIPER button until Wiper 2 LED turns ON Display shows "P21" Push ALARM CANCEL button to alternate between pressure and rpm Push AEC button to increase pressure
The next test permits changes to the factory setting of the power shift pressure command signal from the controller to the proportional reducing valve. These changes are sometimes necessary while other tests and adjustments are being performed (such as testing and adjusting the line relief valves and performing the pump P-Q tests). Access this test by pressing the WIPER button until the LED for Wiper 2 turns ON and "P21" appears in the display. Each time that the ALARM CANCEL button is pressed, the display will alternate between the power shift pressure command signal and the engine rpm. Pressing the AEC button increases the power shift pressure command signal from the controller to the proportional reducing valve. Power shift pressure increases approximately 95 kPa (14 psi) and the display number increases by "1" each time that the AEC button is pushed. When the display reads "P30," the power shift pressure will not increase higher.

Calibration of the governor actuator is accomplished in this test. This test should be performed any time that the controller or governor actuator motor has been replaced. The engine must be running to perform this calibration. To enter this mode, push the TRAVEL SPEED button until the "Rabbit" LED is ON. Then, push the AEC and WASHER buttons simultaneously until the letters "AC" are flashing in the three digit display. Next, while still holding down the AEC and WASHER switches, also push the ALARM CANCEL button. The "AC" display will stop flashing and then change to "ACP." This code indicates that the automatic calibration mode has started and the governor actuator motor has moved to an initial position. When this movement is completed, the display will read "ACt."

When "ACt" appears in the display, the calibration procedure can be completed. Push the AEC and WASHER buttons simultaneously. The "ACt" code will change to "AC1" which indicates that the calibration is continuing. Approximately two minutes are required for the calibration to finish. During this time, the codes "AC2" through "AC0" will appear in the display. When "AC0" appears, the calibration has been successfully completed. If the calibration data sent to the controller is not correct and within limits by the time "AC6" appears in the display, the controller will restart the calibration procedure one time. If the data is not correct or within limits the second time, the display will alternately show "ACE" and "-**." The "-**" is an error code that has a defined problem. Consult the latest version of the Testing and Adjusting modules in the 320 and 330 Service Manuals for a complete description of the error codes and problems.

The final test procedure in the Calibration Mode is the calibration of the Proportional Reducing Valve (PRV). This procedure must be performed to eliminate any variation in the operation of the PRV or controller when either component has been replaced. The procedure is similar to the PRV and controller calibration on the "E" series excavators but, instead of one calibration point, this procedure has two calibration points at 490 kPa (72 psi) and 2450 kPa (355 psi). First, install a 4000 kPa (600 psi) pressure gauge on the power shift pressure test port at the pump. Next, make sure that the pump control backup switch is in the "AUT" position. Finally, start the engine and be sure the engine speed dial is at position 10. This test is accessed by pressing the TRAVEL SPEED button until the "Tortoise" LED is ON. The display then shows "1 0." The "1" indicates that the first calibration point has been accessed and the "0" indicates that the center step of 19 calibration steps has been accessed. Each step will change the power shift pressure by approximately 50 kPa (7 psi).

Increasing power shift pressure

Push AEC button to increase pressure
With the display showing "1 0," push the AEC button once to increase the power shift pressure. The pressure reading on the gauge should increase and the display should change to "1 1." Push the AEC button a second time and the power shift pressure will again increase and the display will read "1 2." The AEC button can be pushed seven additional times. Each push of the button will change the power shift pressure until the display reads "1 9." Any additional pushes of the AEC switch will not increase the power shift pressure. Decreasing power shift pressure
Push WASHER button to decrease pressure
With the display showing "1 0," push the WASHER button once to decrease the power shift pressure. The pressure reading on the gauge should decrease and the display should change to "1-1." Push the WASHER button a second time and the power shift pressure will again decrease and the display will read "1-2." The AEC button can be pushed seven additional times. Each push of the button will change the power shift pressure and until the display reads "1-9." Any additional pushes of the WASHER button will not decrease the power shift pressure. Setting Calibration Point 1
Push WASHER button to decrease pressure below 72 psi Push AEC button to set pressure at 72 psi Push ALARM CANCEL button to store data Display will show "2 0"
Push the WASHER button to decrease the power shift pressure until the pressure setting is less than 490 kPa (72 psi). Then, push the AEC button until the pressure gauge reading increases to approximately 490 kPa (72 psi). (An exact reading may be difficult to obtain, but adjust the pressure as closely as possible.) After the correct reading has been set, push the ALARM CANCEL button to store the data in the controller. When the data has been accepted by the controller, the display will change to show "2 0" which indicates that the first calibration point has been accepted and the calibration procedure for the second point can be performed. As with the first calibration point, the "2" indicates that the second calibration point has been accessed and the "0" indicates that the center step of 19 calibration steps has been accessed. Again, each step will change the power shift pressure by approximately 50 kPa (7 psi).

Setting Calibration Point 2

Push AEC button to increase pressure to 355 psi Push ALARM CANCEL button to store data Display will show "1 0"
Push the AEC button to increase the power shift pressure to approximately 2450 kPa (355 psi). (As with the first point, an exact reading may be difficult to obtain, but adjust the pressure as closely as possible.) After the correct reading has been set, push the ALARM CANCEL button to store the data in the controller. When the data has been accepted by the controller, the display will change to show "1 0" which indicates that the second calibration point has been accepted and the controller has reset to the first calibration point. NOTE: Activation of this calibration mode overrides the function of AEC system. If the engine speed is not within 1980 50 rpm for the 320, and 1950 50 rpm for the 330, the three digit display will show "E." The engine speed must be corrected within specifications to eliminate the "E" from the display before continuing with this procedure. Additionally, pressure adjustments must always be made as the pressure is being increased.

CONCLUSION This presentation has discussed major components, systems operation, and service functions of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). In summary, some of the key functions of this system are: The ECU matches hydraulic horsepower with engine horsepower in Power Mode III and with the engine speed dial at position 10. The controller receives input signals from several components which include: the engine speed dial, the power mode selector, the AEC button, the AEC pressure switch, and the engine speed pickup. The controller analyzes the input signals and, during specific conditions, sends output signals to several components which include: the AEC relay/motor, the proportional reducing valve, and the monitoring system. When the controller is active, three power modes can be selected. Power Mode I utilizes approximately 65% of the available engine horsepower and is used for light duty work. Power Mode II utilizes approximately 85% of the available engine horsepower and is used for ordinary work. Power Mode III utilizes approximately 100% of the available engine horsepower.

The machine is also equipped with two backup systems. The pump control backup system can be activated to bypass the pump controls if the controller malfunctions. When this system is activated, the pumps operate at approximately Power Mode II. The engine speed backup system can be activated when a speed dial malfunction occurs. The AEC will not function when this backup system is activated
