"Sincronizar los horómetros de servicio" de PL321

Para llevar a cabo la función de "sincronización de los horómetros de servicio", seleccione
el menú "Service" (Servicio) y "Synchronize Service Hour Meters" (Sincronizar los
horómetros de servicio) del menú desplegable.

La máquina cuenta con una función que se denomina "Sync Clock" (Sincronizar reloj). En
un sistema PL321, el reloj de Product Link puede estar configurado como maestro o
esclavo. Estos criterios se determinan de forma automática según la prioridad que se
proporciona a cada ECM cuando se designa la máquina. En la mayoría de los casos,
Product Link no será el ECM maestro. Si Product Link no es el maestro, se debe usar el
botón "Synchronize" (Sincronizar) para sincronizar la SMH de Product Link con la SMH
del ECM maestro. Product Link puede ser el ECM maestro si ocurre alguna de las
siguientes situaciones:
  Ningún otro ECM de la máquina está habilitado para la sincronización de reloj o
tiene capacidad para ello.
 No hay otros ECM en la máquina con una prioridad más alta que Product Link.

En el caso de que Product Link sea el ECM maestro, debe seleccionar el botón "Set Master
Hours" (Ajustar horas del módulo maestro). Una vez que se hayan ajustado las horas del
módulo maestro, haga clic en el botón "Synchronize" (Sincronizar) para sincronizar
cualquier otro ECM habilitado para la sincronización de reloj o con capacidad para ello.
Consulte la figura 1.

Nota: Para cambiar el valor de SMH a un valor inferior que el actual, se requiere una
contraseña de fábrica.

Nota: En un sistema PL321 que utiliza la sincronización de reloj cuando Product Link no
es el ECM maestro, el módulo Product Link se sincroniza automáticamente a las horas del
ECM maestro si la diferencia no es mayor que 50 horas. Si la diferencia es mayor que 50
horas, se genera un diagnóstico en CAT ET en el que se indica que se requiere una
sincronización manual. En este caso, sincronice las horas (Service/Synchronize Service
Meter Hours) a menos que las horas del ECM maestro sean incorrectas.

Si Product Link no es el ECM maestro y las horas del ECM maestro no son correctas,
localice y solucione los problemas en la máquina. No reemplace el módulo Product Link.

Transmission Electronic Control System

The transmission Electronic Control Module (ECM) shifts the machine transmission based
on transmission output speed (TOS), Transmission control lever position and transmission
modulation (inching pedal) pressure switch position.

The transmission ECM processes information from the input components. Depending on
the speed and direction requested, the ECM then directs theignal to the specific
combination of solenoids for that speed and direction.

If a fault occurs, the ECM directs a signal to the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS)
group to alert the operator of a problem. The technician has two methods of diagnosing
problems with the transmission electrical system: the Electronic Control Analyzer
Programmer (ECAP) via the service tool connector or the diagnostic connector and flash
codes.

There is a unique transmission configuration code that must be programmed into the ECM
with an ECAP, Electronic Technician (ET) or the transmission control lever. If a
replacement is made to the ECM, the new ECM must be programmed with this code.
Without this code the machine will not operate. See "Using the 8T-8697 Electronic Control
Analyzer Programmer" section in the "Testing And Adjusting" portion of this module.

NOTE: The transmission solenoids are identified with letters (A through H) in this
publication. The solenoids may also be identified with numbers (1 through 8). Solenoid 1 is
Solenoid A, Solenoid 2 is Solenoid B, etc.

(1) Connector J1. (2) Connector J2.

The ECM makes decisions based on input and memory information, then the corresponding
response is made through the outputs. The inputs and outputs of the ECM are joined to the
machine harness by two 40 contact connectors.

Inputs

Numerous inputs inform the ECM of the status of the machine conditions. Two types of
inputs exist; switch type and sensor type. Switches provide an open, grounded, or +battery
signal to the switch inputs of the ECM. Sensors provide a constantly changing signal to the
sensor inputs of the ECM. The inputs are listed on the Contact Description Chart.

Outputs

The ECM responds to decisions by sending electrical signals through the various outputs.
The outputs either create an action or provide information. The outputs are listed on the
Contact Description Chart.

CAT Data Link Operation

The CAT Data Link provides status information to other machine systems including All
Wheel Drive Control and the ECAP service tool. The following parameters are available:

* Transmission Gear

* Shift Lever Position

* Transmission RPM (TOS)

* Battery Voltage

* Backup Alarm Status

* Transmission Modulator Supply Pressure Status

* Dual Horsepower Status

* System Diagnostic Codes

* Abusive Conditions

* Coasting In Neutral

* In Park With Machine Moving

Electrical Inputs

Battery Voltage
This is a two wire input which provides 24 DCV nominal to drive the electronic circuits
within the ECM and all of the external solenoids.

Start Switch Input

This is a single wire input that provides a battery voltage signal when the key start switch is
in the Start position.

Transmission Shift Lever

This is a 13 wire input which provides the shift lever position to the ECM. Combinations of
the 13 inputs being grounded correspond to the different shift lever positions.

Manual Modulation Supply Pressure Clutch Switch

This is a normally open switch and is located on the outermost valve body and monitors the
supply pressure to the directional clutches and solenoids (Clutch 3 is Solenoid A, Clutch 1
is Solenoid B and Clutch 2 is Solenoid C). When the manual modulation pedal is
depressed, the manual modulation valve inside the transmission control valve disengages or
reduces the power transmitted to the drive wheels by reducing the supply or pilot pressure
to the three directional modulating reducing valves. The pressure switch will close at 75
kPa (11 psi) and open at 50 kPa (7 psi). It provides the ECM with the status of the manual
modulation pressure.

Transmission Output Speed (TOS) Sensor Input

This is a single wire frequency input which receives a signal from a magnetic pickup speed
sensor on the transmission output.

Diagnostic Connector
This is a 3 wire input which provides a 3 bit code the ECM uses to determine which
diagnostic mode to be in.

Electrical Outputs

Transmission Solenoids
These solenoids are powered by 24 DCV from the ECM and are engaged when the ECM
determines the correct time to be ON.

Backup Alarm
When the transmission shift lever is moved to a Reverse speed, the ECM provides power
for the backup alarm.

Dual Horsepower Solenoid (VHP)

When the transmission shift lever is moved to Fourth through Eighth Forward or Third
though Sixth Reverse, the ECM provides power for the dual horsepower solenoid.

NOTE: If the machine is a 143H or 163H All Wheel Drive, the ECM will provide power to
the dual horsepower solenoid any time the all wheel drive switch is moved to the Manual or
Automatic position.

Diagnostic Output To EMS (Pin J2-28 On ECM)

The transmission ECM is connected to the EMS Panel Lamp Position 5 which is called the
EMS Action Light. If there is a problem in the transmission ECM system, the ECM
disconnects the ground and the lamp illuminates.

Neutral Output To EMS (Pin J2-40 On ECM)

The transmission ECM is connected to Pin 9 (Neutral) at the EMS control. Pin 9 has a
function called Program Code 1 and is used to control the category of Alert Indicator 7
which is the Parking Brake indicator. Depending on the condition, the Parking Brake can be
either a Category I or a Category III.

Service Tool Connector

This is a 2 wire digital data communication link that allows two way communication of the
ECAP, ET or service tool with the transmission ECM.

Transmission Indicator Lamp

This is used in conjunction with the diagnostic connector to visually flash light code
sequences when diagnosing transmission electrical system faults.

Buffered Transmission Output Speed (TOS)

This is the output from the transmission output speed sender after it goes through the ECM
to the speedometer.
Modes Of Operation

Power-up
Upon power-up, Solenoids D and G are energized and all other solenoids are de-energized.
Normal operation is established once the shift lever has been moved to the Neutral or Park
position.

Start
The transmission Neutral Start Module (NSM) has a neutral start feature. The operator
controlled key switch is an input to the NSM with the start relay being powered by an
output from the NSM. This allows the NSM to inhibit starting the machine if certain
conditions are not met. The shift lever must be in Neutral or Park before the NSM will
allow the start relay to be energized.

Upshift
When the shift handle is moved from the current gear position to a higher gear position, the
ECM will shift the transmission immediately. If an upshift is attempted with the
transmission modulator pedal depressed, no action by the ECM is taken until the
transmission modulator pedal is released.

Downshift
When the shift handle is moved from the current gear position to a lower gear position, the
ECM will shift the transmission immediately. If a downshift is attempted with the
transmission modulator pedal depressed, no action is taken until the transmission modulator
pedal is released. After it is released, the ECM will determine the proper gear.

If an overspeed condition occurs, the transmission is shifted to the lowest gear possible
using special shift points. Unit sequential downshifts result in the desired gear. If the TOS
has not lowered below an overspeed condition, the ECM will upshift to the appropriate
gear.

Shift Out of Neutral

When the shift handle is moved from Neutral into a position which matches the direction
the machine is moving, the ECM will first check the TOS and determine if the requested
gear can be obtained without overspeeding the transmission. If no overspeed condition will
occur, then the shift is made.

If a shift out of Neutral to the requested gear will cause an overspeed condition, the ECM
will shift to the lowest gear possible.
When a shift out of Neutral is attempted with the transmission modulator pedal depressed,
one of two things will happen:

* If the TOS is below First gear high idle, the shift is made immediately.

* If the TOS is above First gear high idle, No Shift will be made until the TOS drops below
First gear high idle or the transmission modulator pedal is released.

Shift Into Neutral

When the shift handle is moved from a gear position to Neutral, the ECM will shift the
transmission to Neutral immediately. The status of the transmission modulator pedal or the
TOS value does not matter.

Directional Shift
A directional shift is when the shift handle is moved from one gear position to another gear
position of the opposite direction or where a shift out of Neutral is requested with the
machine moving in the opposite direction requested.

If the shift is requested with the TOS lower than Third gear high idle, the shift will be made
immediately. If the shift is requested with the TOS higher than Third gear high idle, the
following steps will be taken:

1. The ECM will attempt to downshift the transmission to the lowest gear possible gear. If
the TOS is lowered below the Third gear high idle, the directional shift is made.

2. If the machine has not slowed to Third gear high idle, special shift points are used to
downshift the transmission until the TOS is below Third gear high idle.

When a directional shift is requested with the transmission modulator pedal depressed, the
following occurs:

1. If the TOS is at First gear low idle, the shift is made immediately.

2. If the transmission modulator pedal is released when TOS is below Third gear high idle,
the shift will be made immediately.

Overspeed
The ECM will automatically upshift above the shift lever position whenever the
transmission reaches the preset overspeed upshift rpm. There is No Limit to the number of
upshifts allowed. If the ECM has already automatically upshifted because of an engine
overspeed condition, the ECM will automatically downshift whenever the engine rpms are
lowered and then match the shift lever position.
Diagnostic/Protection Mode
The transmission ECM will take special actions based on the present gear position and the
type of fault detected. The EMS transmission electrical fault indicator lamp will turn ON
and remain on until the fault is removed.

Service Mode
The Service Mode is enabled by uncoupling the diagnostic connector from the machine
harness. This feature allows the technician to diagnose problems with the system using
flash codes. This can be used when an ECAP is not available.

Clutch Phasing
The transmission solenoids are disengaged and engaged with special timing to control the
transmission clutch pressures during shifts. Clutch phasing extends the life of the
transmission clutches and makes for smoother shifts.

Low Battery Voltage

When battery voltage drops below a certain level, the ECM will turn OFF all transmission
solenoids except Solenoids D and G. If Solenoids D or G are already ON, they will be held
on.

Warning And Control Action Light

This warning system alerts the operator about operating the machine prior to the
transmission oil being warmed up. After machine startup, a temperature switch located at
the transmission control valve determines that the oil is below 0°C (32.0°F) and a warning
light in the center gage cluster alerts the operator to this condition.

The warning light is on if the oil is 0°C (32.0°F) or below, the light will also come on if
there is an open circuit. If the lamp in the gage panel is burned out, a level two alarm will
come on.

Failure Modes

Solenoid Faults
The detection of a system fault which prevents proper solenoid engagement for the selected
gear will result in the ECM causing the transmission to go to Neutral by using solenoids D
and G (preferred), solenoid D, solenoid G, or all solenoids OFF (least preferred).

Shift Lever Switch Open Faults

The loss of a shift lever switch contact when leaving Neutral, First Forward, First Reverse,
Second Forward, or Second Reverse will result in the machine remaining in Neutral. Loss
of a shift lever switch contact when in Third Forward or higher or Third Reverse or higher
will result in remaining in the present gear. Whenever a shift lever switch contact is lost
and either the Redundant Neutral or Neutral switches is lost, the transmission will be
neutralized.

Ver imagen
Shift Lever Switch Short Active Faults
Two active speed switches will result in the transmission remaining in the present gear until
a valid speed signal is detected or Neutral is requested. If the forward or reverse switches
are active, then the transmission will be neutralized until a valid direction signal is
determined.

Loss Of Or Erratic Transmission Output Speed (TOS)

Signal
Loss of or erratic TOS will only result in the EMS Action Lamp and Action Alarm being
turned ON to alert the operator that further operation of the machine could cause damage.
