EDC III, ”Electronic Diesel Control”, is an electronic system with CAN communication for diesel engine management. The system is developed by Volvo Penta and covers fuel management, diagnostic function, etc. The system consists of a control module, six unit injectors, a number of sensors that provide information to the control
module, and a data link connector for diagnostics and functionality checks. The EDC III system also has a ”stand
alone” interface that can be linked directly to the engine control module on the engine. The engine can be linked to
a ”CAN” interface and a ”Control Interface Unit” (CIU), which is an interface to the operator area.
Control module
The EDC III system processor is located in the control module, protected from moisture and vibrations.
The processor continually receives information regarding:
Engine speed
•
Charge air pressure
•
Charge air temperature
•
Coolant temperature
•
Oil pressure
•
Oil temperature
•
Fuel alarm, combined alarm for ”water in fuel” and
•
”fuel pressure”
Coolant level
•
This information is used to make exact determinations
on current operating conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct amount of fuel, check the
condition of the engine, etc.
Fuel management
The engine’s fuel need is analyzed up to 100 times
per second (depending on engine speed). The quantity
and timing of fuel injection into the engine are controlled completely electronically via fuel valves on the
unit injectors.
This means that the engine always receives the correct amount of fuel under all operating conditions,
providing benefits including improved fuel economy
and minimized exhaust emissions.
The control module checks and controls the unit injectors so that the correct amount of fuel is injected into
each cylinder. It calculates and sets the injection angle. This control is done primarily with the help of the
tachometer sensors and the combined sensor for
charge air pressure/temperature.
The control module actuates the unit injectors via an
electronic signal to the unit injectors’ electromagnetically controlled fuel valve, which can then be opened
or closed.
When the fuel valve is open, fuel streams by, through
the unit injector holes and out through the fuel channel. Fuel is not injected into the cylinder at this stage.
When the fuel valve is closed, pressure is built up by
the mechanically driven pump piston of the unit injector. Once enough pressure is built up, fuel is injected
into the cylinder via the injector portion.
The fuel valve is reopened and pressure in the unit injector sinks while fuel injection to the cylinder ceases.
To determine when the fuel valve should be opened or
closed, the control module has access to signals from
sensors and switches.
12
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Calculation of fuel quantity
The amount of fuel injected into a cylinder is calculated by the control module. The calculation gives the
amount of time the fuel valve is closed (as fuel is injected into the cylinder when the fuel valve is closed).
The parameters that determine the amount of fuel injected are:
Requested RPM
•
Engine protection functions
•
Temperature
•
Charge air pressure
•
Cylinder balance
When idling, the control module can provide the cylinders with different amounts of fuel. This makes the
engine idle more evenly. At higher RPM, all cylinders
receive an equal amount of fuel.
Diagnostic function
The EDC III system has an internal diagnostic function that makes it possible to detect faults in the engine and sensor.
The role of the diagnostic function is to detect and localize disruptions in the EDC III system, protect the
engine and ensure that the machine remains in working order during serious disturbances.
If a disturbance arises, the diagnostic indicator on the
indicator panel begins blinking. When the diagnosis
button is pressed, an error code is given as guidance
for any fault detection. The diagnostic function can be
read out via the display using the PC diagnostics program.
Idle adjustment (low idle)
Idle can be adjusted to a value between 600 and
1200 RPM.

Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Component description
The digits after the headings refer to ”Component diagram and location”.
Water monitor, fuel pre-filter (19)
The monitor is located on the bottom of the fuel prefilter.
Its role is to guard against water in the fuel system.
The monitor consists of two copper pins between
which resistance is measured. When resistance falls
below the limit value, which indicates that there is water in the fuel, a warning signal is sent to the control
module.
Tachometer sensor, camshaft (2)
The tachometer sensor is located on the upper timing
cover. The tachometer sensor, which is linked to the
camshaft, is an inductive sensor. It reads a toothed
wheel with seven pins. The impulses from the camshaft sensor provide the control module information on
which cylinder is next in line for injection and when it
receives it.
Oil pressure/temperature sensor
(10)
Oil pressure and oil temperature are measured by a
combined sensor that is located on the left-hand side
of the engine, next to the control module.
The sensor is mounted in the engine block so that
measurement is taken from the oil system’s main
channel. The sensor consists of a non-linear resistor
whose resistance is dependant on the temperature of
the resistor body. Resistance decreases as temperature increases. The pressure signal is a voltage signal
proportional to the pressure. The reference voltage for
the sensor is 5 Volts.
14
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Tachometer sensor, flywheel (18)
This sensor is located on the left-hand side of the flywheel housing.
The tachometer sensor on the flywheel is an inductive
sensor. It reads the crankshaft position and engine
speed using grooves in the flywheel. The signal is
sent to the control module, which calculates the injection angle and amount of fuel.
Charge air pressure/temperature
sensor (6)
Charge air pressure and charge air temperature are
measured with a combined sensor located on the intake manifold.
The charge air pressure sensor measures absolute
pressure, which is the sum of the charge air pressure
and atmospheric pressure. The sensor sends a signal
to the control module in the form of voltage that is proportional to the absolute pressure. The sensor receives
a reference voltage of 5 Volts from the control module.
The charge air temperature sensor consists of a nonlinear resistor whose resistance depends on the temperature of the resistor body. Resistance decreases
as temperature increases.
Coolant temperature sensor (15)
The sensor is located on the left-hand rear portion of
the cylinder head.
The sensor reads the temperature of the engine coolant and sends the information to the control module.
It consists of a non-linear resistor whose resistance
depends on the temperature of the resistor body. Resistance decreases as temperature increases.
Fuel pressure monitor (12)
The monitor is located on the left-hand side of the
engine, mounted in the fuel filter bracket.
Its task is to detect if the fuel pressure falls below
29 psi (2 BAR). The monitor is set to shut off when
pressure falls below 29 psi (2 BAR).
15
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Coolant level monitor (1)
This monitor is located in the expansion tank.
Its task is to detect if the coolant level in the cooling
system (expansion tank) is too low. The monitor consists of a contact that can be actuated magnetically.
A hull located around the monitor actuates the contact
differently depending on the coolant level. An alarm
signal is sent if the coolant level is too low.
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (11)
The control module (EMS) checks and controls the
unit injectors so that the correct amount of fuel is injected into each cylinder. It calculates and sets the injection angle. This control is done primarily with the
help of the tachometer sensors and the combined
sensor for charge air pressure/temperature.
The EDC III system processor is located in the control unit, protected from moisture and vibrations.
The processor continually receives information regarding:
engine speed
•
charge air pressure
•
charge air temperature
•
coolant temperature
•
oil pressure
•
oil temperature
•
fuel alarm, combined alarm for ”water in fuel” and
•
”fuel pressure”
coolant level
•
This information is used to make exact determinations
on current operating conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct amount of fuel, check the
condition of the engine, etc.
Control Interface Unit (CIU)
The CIU is a control unit that handles all interaction
with the operator.
It communicates with the engine over two serial communication buses. J1939 is used for controlling and
monitoring the engine. J1587 is used for diagnostics
and backup.
The CIU loads a number of switches and speed requests and forwards them to the engine. It also controls four analogue instruments and up to nine warning
lamps. Using a diagnosis button and diagnostic lamp,
the operator can read out error codes from the system.
16
Group 23 EDC IIIDesign and operation
Unit injectors (20)
The unit injectors are located under the valve cover,
mounted in the cylinder head.
The engine’s fuel need is analyzed up to 100 times
per second (depending on engine speed). The quantity
and timing of fuel injection into the engine are controlled completely electronically via the unit injectors’
electromagnetically operated fuel valves. This means
that the engine always receives the correct amount of
fuel under all operating conditions, providing benefits
including improved fuel economy and minimized exhaust emissions.
Generator (8)
The belt-driven generator is located on the left-hand
front edge of the engine.
The voltage regulator of the generator is equipped with
a sensor system. The sensor system compares the
charging voltage between the generator connections,
B+ and B-, with the actual voltage between the positive and negative poles of the batteries. The voltage regulator then compensates for any voltage drop in the
lines between the generator and the battery by increasing the charging voltage from the generator as
needed.
Starter motor (16)
The starter motor is mounted on the flywheel housing
on the right-hand side of the engine.
When the motor is cut in, a gear on the armature shaft
of the starter motor is moved along the axis so that it
meshes with the gear ring of the engine’s flywheel.
The actuator solenoid of the starter motor controls
both the axial movement of the gear and connection
of the starter motor.
In turn, the actuator solenoid of the starter motor is
cut in via the start relay, which is activated when the
ignition key is turned to position III or the start button
is depressed.
The starter motor relay (1) is mounted next to the starter motor solenoid.

The diagnostic function performs the following
tasks:
Detects and localizes disturbances
•
Notifies when disturbances are detected
•
Provides guidance for fault detection
•
Protects the engine and ensures that the machine
•
remains in working order when serious disturbances
are detected.
Notification of disturbance If the diagnostic function
detects a disturbance in the EDC III system, the operator is notified by the diagnostic lamp (1), which begins
to blink.
Guidance for fault detection If the diagnosis button
(2) is depressed and then released the diagnostic lamp
(1) blinks out an error code. The code is found in the
error code list, with information on cause, response and
corrective action.
The diagnostic function affects the engine in the
following manner when:
1The diagnostic function has detected a minor
disturbance that will not damage the engine:
Response: The engine is not affected.
2. The diagnostic function has detected a serious
disturbance that will not immediately damage the
engine:
Response: TAD1240–42GE/VE: Engine is
switched off.
TWD1240VE: Engine is switched off or engine
torque is lowered until the value is normalized.
3. The diagnostic function has detected a serious
disturbance that makes it impossible to control
engine operation:
Response: TAD1240–42GE/VE: RPM maintained.
TWD1240VE: The engine goes to idle. Idle or
freezing of RPM can be set using the Volvo Penta
Parameter Tool.
If the diagnosis button’s
indicator blinks
1. Reduce RPM to idle.
2. Press the diagnosis button (2) to acknowledge the
message.
3. Release the diagnosis button and note the error
code that blinks out. (1) See ”Reading out error
codes”.
4. Look up the error code in the error code list and
follow the recommended course of action.

Group 23 EDC IIIDiagnostic function
NOTE: If the warning lamps and other instruments
show normal function and the control is working normally, the operator can choose to continue operating
and remedy the disturbance later. If the engine is switched off, certain error codes could disappear.
Reading out error codes
If the diagnosis button 2 is depressed and then released, an error code blinks out (1).
The error code consists of two groups of blinks separated by a two-second pause. The error code is read
by counting the number of blinks in each group.
Example: pause = Error code 2.4
The error code is stored and can be read as long as
the disturbance remains. The error code list contains
information on cause, response and corrective action.
Read out as follows:
1. Press in the diagnosis button (2)
2. Release the diagnosis button and note the error
code that blinks out (1).
3. Repeat points 1–2. A new error code blinks out if
more codes are stored. Repeat until the first error
code reappears.
NOTE: When the first error code reappears all error
codes have been read out.
Erasing error codes
The error code memory of the diagnostic function is
reset when power to the engine is cut off.
NOTE: The power must be completely disconnected.
When the power is turned on, the diagnostic function
checks to see if there are any disturbances in the
EDC III system. If disturbances are present, new error
codes are set.
This means that:
1. Error codes for disturbances that have been
corrected or that have disappeared are erased
automatically.
2. Error codes for disturbances that have not been
corrected must be acknowledged and read out
every time the power is turned on.
If the diagnosis button is pushed after the error has
been corrected and saved error codes are erased the
code 1.1 (”No errors”) will blink out.
