Diesel Engine Control Systems

This section on Diesel Engine Control Systems covers multiple inter-related
topics dealing with all aspects of diesel engine control, protection and
monitoring systems. We begin with a brief discussion of the various diesel
engine protection and monitoring system parameters and outlining the
purpose of each parameter in order to help determine the appropriate level
required for a particular application. This is followed by a discussion of the
control system that is currently in use on Caterpillar diesel engines utilizing
Electronic Unit Injection (EUI). Finally, we cover the control systems used on
Caterpillar diesel engines utilizing Mechanical Unit injection (MUI).

Engine Communication Methods

Customer Communication Customer Communication Module
Module (CCM)
The Customer Communication
Module (CCM) provides a
communication link between the
electronic control system of an
engine and a host device. An
example of this module is shown in
Figure 7. The communication link is
established with the CAT Data Link
and the industry standard RS-232C
port. The host device can be one of
the following items.
• Personal Computer (PC)

expands the number of available
relay outputs on the PRCM, each
RDM providing nine additional relay
outputs. The outputs of the RDM are

individually controlled via a serial PL1000 Communications Module
data link from the PRCM, and may
drive the optional relay board, or can
be directly connected to horns,

board contains nine relays, each
