Timing Control
The "Desired Timing" parameters allow the customer to program the timing of ignition in order to meet the
needs for the application and installation. The desired timing value can be changed while the engine is running
or while the engine is stopped. The value that is entered for the desired timing is the ignition timing when the
engine is operating at rated speed and at full load.
Note: The actual ignition timing at a given instance may vary from the desired timing value. This variance is
due to variations in the engine speed or the detonation.
The range for programming the desired timing is 0 to 40 degrees before the top center (TC) position.
"First Desired Timing"
The "First Desired Timing" is determined with the methane number of the primary fuel that is used. Use the
Engine Performance Sheet, "Fuel Usage Guide". The ECM selects the "First Desired Timing" when terminal P1-
20 is an open circuit.
"Second Desired Timing"

The "Second Desired Timing" is determined with the methane number of the alternate fuel that is used and the
Engine Performance Sheet, "Fuel Usage Guide". When this input is connected to the digital return or to the −
Battery, the engine control will use the "Second Desired Timing". If an alternate fuel is not used, enter the same
timing that was entered in the "First Desired Timing".

Before the initial start-up, a current gas analysis is required. Periodic gas analyses are also recommended. Data
from the gas analysis must be entered into Caterpillar Software, LERW4485, "Gas Engine Rating Pro (GERP)".
The results are programmed into the ECM.
Note: Use the Caterpillar Software, LERW4485, "Gas Engine Rating Pro (GERP)". Use of only the data
from the gas analysis can result in incorrect settings.
"Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration"
Within the configuration screen for the master ECM, there are four parameters that relate to the fuel quality:
"Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration"
"Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Lower Limit"
"Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Upper Limit"
"Fuel Quality"
Be sure that the configuration parameter for "Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration" is set for the proper
system.
The "Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration" can be set to one of the following values:
"Configuration"
"4-20 mA"
When the "Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration" parameter is set to "Configuration", a fixed value must be set
for the "Fuel Quality" parameter. Engines that run on a consistent fuel supply typically use this type of system.
The "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Lower Limit" and "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Upper Limit" parameters are not
available.
When the "Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration" parameter is set to "4-20 mA", the ECM determines the LHV
according to the signal from the fuel quality sensor. The "4-20mA" signal is provided by the customer via a
sensor that measures fuel quality. The "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Lower Limit" and "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV
Upper Limit" set the lower limit and the upper limit of the LHV. Engines that run on an inconsistent fuel supply
typically use this type of system. Engines that run on gas from a coal seam or landfill are examples of
inconsistent fuel supply.
"Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Lower Limit"
This parameter is only available when the "Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration" is set to "4-20 mA".
The ECM uses the value of this parameter to set the lower limit of the fuel LHV when the input signal is 4 mA.
For example, if the value of this parameter is "300", the ECM will set the LHV to 300 when the input signal is 4
mA.
The adjustable range is 100 to 650. The default is 250. The range between the "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Lower
Limit" and "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Upper Limit" cannot exceed 600 BTU.
"Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Lower Limit for Lean Coal Mine Methane (LCMM)
Application"
The ECM uses the value of this parameter to set the lower limit of the fuel LHV when the input signal is 4 mA.
For example, if the value of this parameter is "300", the ECM will set the LHV to 300 when the input signal is 4
mA.
"Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Upper Limit"

The ECM uses the value of this parameter to set the upper limit of the fuel LHV when the input signal is 20 mA.
For example, if the value of this parameter is "900", the ECM will set the LHV to 900 when the input signal is
20 mA.
The adjustable range is 500 to 1250. The default is 850. The range between the "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV
Lower Limit" and "Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Upper Limit" cannot exceed 600 BTU.
The ECM uses a linear scale between the lower limit and the upper limit. Refer to Illustration 1.
In this example, the lower limit is 300. The upper limit is 900. An input signal of 16 mA equals an LHV of 750.
"Fuel Quality Sensor LHV Upper Limit for Lean Coal Mine Methane (LCMM)
Application"
The ECM uses the value of this parameter to set the upper limit of the fuel LHV when the input signal is 20 mA.
For example, if the value of this parameter is "900", the ECM will set the LHV to 900 when the input signal is
20 mA.
Illustration 1 g01110253
Example of LHV versus signal strength
(X) LHV
(Y) Signal strength in milliamperes
In this example, the lower limit is 300. The upper limit is 900. An input signal of 16 mA equals an LHV of 750.
"Fuel Quality"
This parameter is available when the "Fuel Quality Input Type Configuration" is set to "Configuration" or with
software not equipped with remote fuel quality input.
This parameter is the fuel Low Heat Value (LHV). The air/fuel ratio control of the ECM will compensate for
some inaccuracy in this setting. The ECM assumes a corrected value that is multiplied by the "Fuel Correction
Factor". This factor can be displayed on the Cat ET screen.
The "Fuel Quality" parameter can be used to change the air/fuel ratio when the engine is operating in the open
loop mode. To richen the air/fuel mixture, reduce the value. The calculation will compensate for the reduced
LHV by increasing the fuel flow. To lean the air/fuel mixture, increase the value. The calculation will
compensate for the increased LHV by reducing the fuel flow.
"Gas Specific Gravity"
This parameter is the fuel-specific gravity in relation to the specific gravity of air. The ECM does not use this
information. The ECM provides the information to the fuel metering valve via the CAN data link. The fuel
metering valve requires an input for the "Gas Specific Gravity" in order to precisely meter the fuel flow.
"Fuel Specific Heat Ratio"
This parameter is a ratio of the fuel-specific heat at a constant pressure and at a constant volume. The ratio is
also known as "k". The ratio is related to the expansion of the gas across the fuel metering valve. The ECM does
not use this information. The ECM provides the information to the fuel metering valve via the CAN data link.
The fuel metering valve requires an input for the "Fuel Specific Heat Ratio" in order to precisely meter the fuel
flow.
"Desired Emission Gain Adjustment Percentage"
This parameter is an adjustment for the level of the engine exhaust emissions for engine operation at full load.
The adjustable range is 85 to 115 percent. The default value is 100 percent. This parameter can be adjusted in
0.1% increments.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Air/Fuel Ratio Control - Adjust".
"Air/Fuel Proportional Gain"
The "Air/Fuel Proportional Gain" determines the speed of the "Fuel Correction Factor" response in adjusting for
the difference between the actual and the desired charge density.
The factory default setting is 0. This value should not require adjustment. If problems occur, this parameter is
one of the last parameters that should be adjusted. The adjustable range is −50 to +50. Negative values reduce
the speed of the fuel correction factor response and positive values increase the speed of the fuel correction
factor response.
"Air/Fuel Integral Gain"
The "Air/Fuel Integral Gain" determines the response of the fuel correction factor to the error that is
accumulated over time for the air/fuel ratio.
The factory default setting is 0. This value should not require adjustment. If problems occur, this parameter is
one of the last parameters that should be adjusted. The adjustable range is −50 to +50. Negative values reduce
the speed of the fuel correction factor response and positive values increase the speed of the fuel correction
factor response.
Speed Control
"Low Idle Speed"
Program this parameter to the desired low idle rpm. The low idle rpm can be programmed within the range of
500 to 1100 rpm.
"Minimum Engine High Idle Speed"
Program this parameter to the desired minimum high idle rpm. The desired high idle speed is regulated by the
desired speed input. The regulation is linear in proportion to the input. An input of 0 VDC or 4 mA results in the
minimum high idle rpm.
For the 50 Hz arrangement, the minimum high idle speed can be programmed between 900 rpm and 1500 rpm.
The default value is 1400 rpm.
For the 60 Hz arrangement, there are two speed ratings: 1200 rpm and 1800 rpm. For the 1200 rpm engine
rating, the minimum high idle speed can be programmed between 900 rpm and 1200 rpm. The default value is
1100 rpm.
For the 1800 rpm engine rating, the minimum high idle speed can be programmed between 900 rpm and 1800
rpm. The default value is 1600 rpm.
The "Minimum High Idle Speed" and the "Maximum High Idle Speed" determine the slope of the desired speed
input.
"Maximum Engine High Idle Speed"

Program this parameter to the desired maximum high idle rpm. The actual high idle speed is regulated by the
desired speed input. The regulation is linear in proportion to the input. An input 5 V DC or 20 mA results in the
maximum high idle rpm.
For the 50 Hz arrangement, the maximum high idle speed can be programmed between 1500 rpm and 1900 rpm.
The default value is 1600 rpm.
For the 60 Hz arrangement, there are two speed ratings: 1200 rpm and 1800 rpm. For the 1200 rpm engine
rating, the maximum high idle speed can be programmed between 1200 rpm and 2200 rpm. The default value is
1300 rpm.
For the 1800 rpm engine rating, the minimum high idle speed can be programmed between 1800 rpm and 2200
rpm. The default value is 2000 rpm.
"Engine Acceleration Rate"
This parameter controls the rate of desired speed change when the idle/rated switch changes. For example, the
desired speed can be programmed to accelerate at a rate of 50 rpm per second when the "Idle/Rated" switch is
turned to the "Rated" position.
"Desired Speed Input Configuration"

This parameter determines the signal input to the ECM for control of the desired speed. The signal can be either
0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA.
The ECM uses a linear scale between the lower input and the upper input. Refer to Illustrations 2 and 3.
Example of 0 to 5 VDC desired speed input
(X) Engine RPM
(Y) Voltage
4 to 20 mA
Note: The ECM is not configured to accept a pulse width modulated signal for input of the desired engine speed.
If you try to select a Pulse Width Modulated input (PWM), the ECM will reject the selection. An error will be
generated.
"Governor Type Setting"
The "Governor Type Setting" parameter can be set to "Droop Operation" or to "Isochronous Mode". This setting
is dependent upon the application of the engine.
"Engine Speed Droop"
This programmable parameter allows precise control of the speed droop. The "Governor Type Setting"
parameter must be set to "Droop". The droop can be programmed to a value between 0 and 10 percent.
Governor Gain Settings
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Engine Governing - Adjust" for the adjustment procedure for the governor.
"Governor Gain Factor"
This parameter is based on a proportional multiplier. The "Governor Gain Factor" determines the speed of the
throttle actuator response in adjusting for the difference between the actual speed and the desired speed.
Increasing this value provides a faster response to the difference between the actual speed and the desired speed.
https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisweb/mediasearch/mediaheaderinfoframeset.jsp&calledpage… 10/20
This parameter changes the reaction of the throttle actuator when the "Grid Status" parameter is "Off". If
changing this value causes no effect, check the "Grid Status" in order to make sure that the status is "Off".
This parameter is used for synchronization during engine operation at no load.
"Governor Stability Factor"

This parameter is based on an integral multiplier. The "Governor Stability Factor" controls the speed for
elimination of the error in the difference between the actual speed and the desired speed. Increasing this value
provides less damping.
changing this value causes no effect, check the "Grid Status" in order to make sure that the status is "Off".
This parameter is intended for synchronization during engine operation at no load.
"Governor Compensation Factor"
This parameter is based on a derivative multiplier. The "Governor Compensation Factor" is used to adjust for the
time delay between the control signal and the movement of the throttle actuator. If this value is too low, the
engine speed will slowly hunt. If this value is too high, the engine speed will rapidly fluctuate.
changing this value causes no effect, check the "Grid Status" in order to make sure that the status is "Off". This
parameter is not currently enabled.
This parameter is intended for synchronization during engine operation at no load.
This parameter is not currently enabled.
"Auxiliary Proportional Governor Gain 1"

This parameter is based on a proportional multiplier. The "Auxiliary Proportional Governor Gain 1" determines
the speed of the throttle actuator response in adjusting for the difference between the actual and desired speed.
Increasing this value provides a faster response to the difference between the actual speed and the desired speed.
This parameter is intended for use during loaded engine operation.
This parameter changes the reaction of the throttle actuator when the "Grid Status" parameter is "On". If this
value is changed and the "Grid Status" is "Off", the stability of the engine will not change. If changing this value
causes no effect, check the "Grid Status" in order to make sure that the status is "On".
"Auxiliary Integral Governor Gain 1"
This parameter is based on an integral multiplier. The "Auxiliary Integral Governor Gain 1" controls the speed
for elimination of the error in the difference between the actual speed and the desired speed. Increasing this
value provides less damping.
"Auxiliary Derivative Governor Gain 1"
This parameter is based on a derivative multiplier. The "Auxiliary Derivative Governor Gain 1" is used to adjust
for the time delay between the control signal and the movement of the throttle actuator. If this value is too low,
the engine speed will slowly hunt. If this value is too high, the engine speed will rapidly fluctuate.
This parameter is not currently enabled.
Start/Stop Control Parameters

"Driven Equipment Delay Time"
The ECM accepts an input from the driven equipment that indicates when the equipment is ready for operation.
When the input is grounded, the driven equipment is ready. The ECM will not start the engine until this input is
grounded.
The ECM can be programmed to wait for a certain time after receiving a start command before starting the
engine. The delay allows the driven equipment to get ready for operation.
When the ECM receives a start command, the ECM will wait for the amount of time that is programmed into the
"Driven Equipment Delay Time". If the "Driven Equipment Delay Time" elapses and the input is not grounded,
an event code is activated. The engine will not start.
If the "Driven Equipment Delay Time" is programmed to "0". the delay is disabled. If the ECM receives a start
command and the driven equipment is not ready, an event code is activated. The engine will not start.
"Crank Terminate RPM"
The ECM disengages the starting motor when the engine speed exceeds the programmed "Crank Terminate
RPM". The default value of 250 rpm should be sufficient for all applications.
"Engine Purge Cycle Time"
The "Engine Purge Cycle Time" is the duration of engine cranking without fuel before the actual start-up. The
ignition is disabled during this time. The "Engine Purge Cycle Time" allows any unburned fuel to exit through
the exhaust before you run the engine.
"Cooldown Duration"
When the ECM receives a "Stop" request, the engine will continue to run in the "Cooldown Mode" for the
programmed cooldown period. The "Cooldown Mode" is exited early if a request for an emergency stop is
received by the ECM. If the "Cooldown Duration" is programmed to zero, the engine will immediately shut
down when the ECM receives a "Stop" request.
"Cycle Crank Time"
The "Cycle Crank Time" is the duration of time for activation of the starting motor and the gas shutoff valve for
start-up. If the engine does not start within the time, the starting is suspended for a "Rest Cycle" that is equal to
the "Cycle Crank Time".
"Engine Overcrank Time"

The "Engine Overcrank Time" is the duration for attempting an engine start-up. An event is generated if the
engine does not start within this time.
Example Setting
Table 2
Examples of the Settings for Start-up
Parameter Time
"Purge Cycle Time" 10 seconds
"Cycle Crank Time" 30 seconds
"Overcrank Time" 45 seconds
The following sequence will occur if the parameters are programmed according to the example in Table 2:
1. The fuel and the ignition are OFF. The engine will crank for 10 seconds in order to purge gas from the
engine and from the exhaust system.
2. The fuel and the ignition are enabled. The engine will continue to crank for a maximum of 30 seconds.
3. If the engine does not start, the ignition, the fuel, and the starting motor are disabled for a 30 second "Rest
Cycle".
With this example, a complete cycle is 70 seconds: a purge cycle of 10 seconds, a cycle crank of 30 seconds and
a rest cycle of 30 seconds. A maximum of one crank cycle is recommended. The "Overcrank Time" of 45
seconds allows one crank cycle.
"Engine Speed Drop Time"

This parameter is activated when the ECM receives the signal for stopping the engine. This input ensures the
shutdown in case the Gas Shutoff Valve (GSOV) does not close.
If the ECM is controlling the GSOV, the ECM removes power from the GSOV after the cooldown period has
elapsed. If the customer equipment is controlling the GSOV, the customer equipment removes power from the
GSOV after the cooldown period has elapsed.
After the cool down period has elapsed, the ECM signals for the GSOV to close. The ignition continues until the
engine speed drops below 40 rpm. If the engine rpm does not drop below 100 rpm within the programmed speed
drop time, the ECM terminates the ignition and the ECM issues an emergency stop. The speed drop time can be
configured in the configuration screen using Cat ET.
"Engine Pre-Lube Time Out Period"
At the time of this publication, this parameter is not active.

"High Inlet Air Temp Engine Load Setpoint"
The programmable setpoint is a value that separates low engine load from high engine load for events that are
activated by high inlet air temperature. An "Engine Load Factor" can be displayed on a Cat ET status screen. If
the load factor is less than the setpoint and the inlet air temperature reaches the trip point, a "High Inlet Air
Temperature at Low Engine Load" event is activated. If the load factor is greater than the setpoint and the inlet
air temperature reaches the trip point, a "High Inlet Air Temperature at High Engine Load" event is activated.
"Impending Shutdown Delay Enable Status"
Note: This parameter may be "read only" on some applications.
This parameter can be programmed to "DISABLED" or "ENABLED". The default is "ENABLED". This
parameter determines the control system response to level 2 events.
DISABLED - The level 2 event is not active.
ENABLED - The engine continues to run for the length of time that is programmed for the "Impending
Shutdown Delay Time" parameter.
"Impending Shutdown Delay Time"
This parameter can be programmed to a period between "0" minutes and "10" minutes. The default value is "10".
The engine will shut down after the programmed time if a level two event occurs and the "Impending Shutdown
Delay Enable Status" parameter is programmed to "ENABLED".
The ECM will immediately shut down the engine when a level 2 event occurs if this parameter is programmed to
"0" and the "Impending Shutdown Delay Enable Status" parameter is programmed to "ENABLED".
Power Monitoring
The ECM monitors the generator output power in order to control the air/fuel ratio. The ECM uses an output
from one of the following sources in order to monitor the generator output power:
Electronic Modular Control Panel II+ (EMCP II+)
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
Wattmeter
The PLC and the wattmeter are also called power sensors.
The ECM uses the values of the "Power Monitoring" parameters to determine the generator actual power output.
The ECM value of the generator actual power output is displayed on Cat ET as the "Generator Real kW"
parameter in Status Group 1. If the value of this parameter is within 1 percent of the generator actual power
output, the ECM will accurately control the air/fuel ratio.
"Generator Output Power Sensor Scale Factor"
If the generator is equipped with the EMCP II+, information on the generator output is provided to the ECM via
the Cat Data Link. The value for the "Generator Output Power Sensor Scale Factor" parameter is inactive. No
adjustment is necessary for this parameter.
For power monitoring with a power sensor, the ECM accepts a linear signal with a range of 0 VDC to 4.8 VDC.
The signal from the power sensor increases from 0 VDC to 4.8 VDC as the generators output increases. For best
resolution, as much of the full scale should be used as possible. The kW power sensor should be selected such
that the maximum is 110 percent of the generator rated output. For example, if the generator has a rated output
of 1700 ekW, the maximum output is 1870 ekW. When the generator output is 1870 ekW, the power sensor will
provide a signal of approximately 4.8 VDC.
The ECM requires a scale factor in order to determine the generator output. The scale factor is determined by the
power sensors full scale range. The equation that is used to determine the scale factor is provided in Table 3.
Table 3
Computing the Value for the "Generator Output Power Sensor Scale Factor"
(R x 1.1) ÷ 4.8
R is the generator rated output in kilowatts.
Table 4
Computing the Value for the "Generator Output Power Sensor Scale Factor"
Power Sensor Maximum Rated Output In kW

= kW / volt
Power Sensor Maximum Rated Output Voltage
For example, if the generator rated output is 1700 ekW, the correct value for the "Generator Output Power
Sensor Scale Factor" parameter is 390. In this example, the relationship between the voltage level of the signal
and the generator output is shown in Illustration 4 .
In this example, the value of the "Generator Output Power Sensor Scale Factor" parameter is 390.
The ECM multiplies the signal voltage by the scale factor in order to estimate the generator output. In this
example, a signal level of 3.5 VDC indicates that the generator output is approximately 1365 ekW.
After the ECM estimates the generator output, the ECM adds the value of the "Generator Output Power Sensor
Offset" parameter to the estimate. The offset refines the ECM estimate of the generator actual output.

If the generator is equipped with the EMCP II+, information on the generator output is provided to the ECM via
the Cat Data Link. The value for the "Generator Output Power Sensor Offset" parameter is inactive. No
adjustment is necessary for this parameter.
If the generator is equipped with a power sensor, the power sensor output may not be zero when the generator
output is zero. When the discrepancy occurs, the power sensor has an offset voltage. The offset voltage may be
positive or negative. In most cases, the offset voltage is low. Therefore, the value of the "Generator Output
Power Sensor Offset" parameter must be set to zero.
The offset voltage must be measured before you change this parameter from zero. To measure the offset voltage,
refer to Troubleshooting, "Generator Output Power Readings Do Not Match". If the offset voltage is less than
0.01 VDC, the value of the "Generator Output Power Sensor Offset" must be set to zero.
The value of this parameter is in units of ekW. The minimum programmable value for this parameter is −327
ekW. The maximum programmable value for this parameter is 200 ekW.
The ECM adds the value of the "Generator Output Power Sensor Offset" parameter to the value that is
determined by the "Generator Output Power Sensor Scale Factor" parameter. The factor refines the ECM
calculation of the generator actual output.
The ECM final determination of the generator actual output is displayed on Cat ET as the "Generator Real kW"
parameter in Status Group 1. If the value of this parameter is within 1 percent of the generator actual power
output, the ECM will accurately control the air/fuel ratio.
"Engine Output Power"
The value of the "Engine Output Power" parameter is the engine full load rating in ekW. The rating is stamped
on the engine Information Plate. During operation, the ECM uses this value to determine the engine load as a
percentage of the maximum load.
"Engine Driven Accessory Load Configuration"

The value of this parameter is the rated load of the auxiliary equipment such as a radiator fan that is directly
driven by the engine. The value is in units of ekW. The ECM adds this load to the calculated value of the
generator actual output in order to determine the total load on the engine.
Information for the ECM

"Engine Serial Number"
The engine serial number is programmed into the ECM at the factory. The number is stamped on the engine
Information Plate.
"Equipment ID"
The customer can assign an "Equipment ID" for identification.
Customer Passwords
Two customer passwords can be entered. The passwords are used to protect certain configuration parameters
from unauthorized changes.
Note: Factory level security passwords are required for clearing certain logged events and for changing certain
programmable parameters. Because of the passwords, only authorized personnel can change some of the
programmable items in the ECM. When the correct passwords are entered, the changes are programmed into the
ECM.
"Total Tattletale"
This item displays the number of changes that have been made to the configuration parameters.
