Abstract:
In one embodiment, an engine management system (EMS) can use a human machine interface (HMI) to modify operating parameters of a set of engine generators controlled by an engine control unit (ECU). The HMI can permits authorized users to adjust a plurality of operating parameters of the engine generators in accordance with an authorization level of the authorized users. The ECU can be a standalone system operable independent of the EMS. A communication network (e.g., ARCnet) can link the EMS to the ECU, wherein the changes of the operating parameters input via the HMI are maintained over a power-cycle of the EMS. Further, changes of the operating parameters input via the HMI can be maintained even when communications over the communication network linking the engine.
Abstract:
A system includes one or more sensors that generate sensor measurement signals based on characteristics of one or more components of an engine control subsystem. The system also includes a controller circuit having one or more processors. The controller circuit is programmed to perform operations in response to instructions stored on a non-transitory memory. The operations performed by the controller circuit include acquiring the sensor measurement signals from the one or more sensors. The sensor measurement signals include electrical characteristics. The operations performed also include comparing the electrical characteristics of the sensor measurement signals with operational threshold corresponding to the one or more sensors, determining a set of candidate sensors having a fault based on the comparison, and displaying a troubleshoot window based on a select candidate sensor.

Abstract:
A method includes providing a run-time configurable engine protection configuration that is stored in an engine protection module that is linked to a sensor associated with an engine. The method also includes identifying an engine protection setting corresponding to the engine protection configuration. The engine protection setting includes at least three of a threshold value, a unique message, an action or an alarm. The method further includes presenting the engine protection setting to an operator via an interface. The interface includes at least one of a control panel or a computing device. Also, the method includes receiving, via the interface, an instruction corresponding to a revised engine protection setting. Further the method includes updating, during run-time, the engine protection configuration pursuant to the instruction to reflect the revised engine protection setting, responsive to the receiving of the instruction corresponding to the revised engine protection setting.

Abstract:
A method of determining fuel limits for an engine includes measuring an actual fuel value for the engine and creating a plurality of engine speed points. The method further includes calculating respective static fuel limit points for each of the engine speed points utilizing the actual fuel value. The static fuel limit points define and limit a rated power of the engine.

Abstract:
A system is provided that includes one or more sensors configured to monitor operating parameters of engine components and a controller. The controller is programmed to perform operations that include displaying test details on a display screen that are specific to a selected test to be performed on the engine components. The test details include pre-conditional parameters of the engine components that are necessary prior to starting the selected test. The operations also include receiving the monitored operating parameters of the engine components from the one or more sensors and determining whether the monitored operating parameters satisfy the pre-conditional parameters. The operations further include, responsive to receiving an indication to start the selected test and determining that the measured operating parameters satisfy the pre-conditional parameters, performing the selected test on the engine components.
