1.6 Functional description

The device offers a multitude of functions for the control and monitoring of conventionally controlled combustion engines. You can individually configure the settings for very diverse applications and different engine variants. The device is capable of pre-glowing, by-glowing and after-glowing the engine to up to 70 A, using time or temperature variables. Oil pressure and engine temperature can be monitored with switches or sensors. One additional input is provided for monitoring the generator. The operating magnet is actuated by the outputs for excitation and pick-up winding. There is also an alarm output available. The engine can be switched off via an "external stop” input (hood switch , cover switch / housing switch, for example).

Setting pulses per rotation

Operation

9 Operation

9.1 Setting pulses per rotation

The speed of an engine corresponds to the number of crankshaft rotations per minute. In combustion engines, the speed can be taken from the "W" terminal of the generator. There is a potential for inaccuracy due to the V-belt slip.

An initiator (pick up), on the other hand, returns absolute values (comply with the manufacturer's installation instructions). In both cases, the term frequency is used. The frequency (pulses per second) of these pulses is proportional to the engine speed.

The value determined must then be set in chapter "Menus in parametrization mode" > "Sensor submenu" (Page 38) for the menu item I

• Speed measurement using an initiator (pick up) (Page 72)

• Speed measurement based on the pulses of the "W” terminal at pin 13 (Page 73)

9.1.1 Speed measurement using an initiator (pick up)

MP/ROT before initial commissioning.

The initiator must be at right angles to a rotating metal part. The metal part must be directly connected to the crankshaft of the engine (for example: belt pulley or flywheel). In this way, holes or protrusions, for example, are detected by screw heads. The distance must be the same and within the detection range of the initiator. When installing the initiator, ensure that multiple pulses are emitted for each engine revolution per crankshaft revolution. The number of pulses should not be too low as this would result in a low resolution. This method is suitable for applications requiring an accurate measurement of the speed or if the generator does not have a "W” terminal. The optimum values are between 4 and 16 pulses.

9.1.2 Speed measurement based on the pulses of the "W” terminal at pin 13

The calculation of the pulses per rotation (PPR) results from the transmission ratio of the generator to the crankshaft (i) multiplied by the number of pole pairs (NP).

PPR= i x NP

9.7 Operational faults

Possible faults are listed in the following troubleshooting table.

Troubleshooting table

Possible fault Possible cause Remedy

The device does not switch on.

The engine starts when switched on but not when started.

The controller does not respond to the input signals.

The engine speed fluctuates widely.

A measurement at the output shows a transistor turned on although it should have a high resistance.

The supply voltage is connected with the wrong polarity. The reverse polarity protection prevents damage to the electronics but does not replace the correct polarity of the connection lines.

The lines for terminal 15 and terminal 50 were reversed during connection.

The inputs are not connected to ground. The controller cannot detect plus signals.

There is a fault in the wiring for the generator (the generator is not energised). As a result, no speed is sent by the generator (terminal "W”).

The cabling on the inductor is faulty. The installation of the inductor is faulty.

No load is connected to the output. The Open-Load-Detection behaves like a low resistance transistor.

Swap the connection cables of the supply line.

Swap the lines for terminal 15 and terminal

50.

Connect the inputs to ground.

Repair the cables.

Connect a load to the output.
