Engine Monitoring System

SMCS - 7490

The electronic systems monitor the operating parameters of the engine. The systems can initiate
responses if a specific parameter exceeds an acceptable range. The systems perform the following
functions:

Electronic Ignition System (EIS)

The EIS monitors the engine for detonation. If detonation occurs, the EIS control module will retard the
timing. If the detonation continues, the EIS control module will request a shutdown. The system that
receives the request for a shutdown varies depending on the engine's configuration.

If the engine is equipped with a Remote Control Panel (Status), the request for a shutdown is sent to the
Status Control Module (SCM). The SCM will terminate the flow of fuel. The SCM will also send a
request to the EIS control module in order to terminate the ignition.

If the engine is not equipped with a Remote Control Panel (Status), the request for a shutdown is sent to
the customer's equipment. The customer's equipment must terminate the fuel flow. The customer's
equipment must also send a request to the EIS control module in order to terminate the ignition.

Air/Fuel Ratio Control

The air/fuel ratio control monitors the engine for an overspeed condition. An overspeed condition occurs
when the signal from the speed sensor indicates that the engine speed is greater than 2000 rpm. An
engine overspeed will cause the ECM to perform these actions:

1. Activate a 523-00 diagnostic code.

2. If the engine is equipped with a Remote Control Panel (Status), the ECM sends a request for a
shutdown to the Status Control Module (SCM). The SCM sends a command to the EIS control
module in order to terminate the ignition. The SCM also stops the flow of fuel.

3. If the engine is not equipped with a Remote Control Panel (Status), the ECM sends a request for a
shutdown to the customer's equipment. The customer's equipment must terminate the fuel flow.
Additionally, the customer's equipment must send a request to the EIS control module in order to
terminate the ignition.

Remote Control Panel (Status)

The remote control panel (status) provides protection against the following conditions:

z Low oil pressure

z High oil temperature

z Overspeed

z Overcrank

When one of the above faults occurs, the SCM sends a command to the gas shutoff valve in order to stop
the flow of fuel. If the engine does not shut down, the SCM sends a command to the EIS control module
in order to terminate the ignition.

When an emergency stop button is pressed, the SCM immediately sends commands in order to terminate
the fuel flow and the ignition.

CONTROL PANEL (STATUS) G3500 & G3400 ENGINE ".
