What Is Volvo Electronic Diesel Control?


Volvo Engine Electronic Diesel Control?

EDC 4 (Electronic Diesel Control) is an electronic system with CAN (Controller Area Network) or potentiometer communications for diesel engine control. The system includes fuel management and diagnostic functions.

Overview

The system includes sensors, control unit and an engine speed regulator. The sensors send input signals to the control unit, which in turn governs the injection pump control rack by means of an actuator in the engine speed regulator.

Input signals

The control unit receives input signals about engine operating conditions from the following components:

1. rpm sensor, camshaft
2. coolant temperature sensor
3. charge pressure sensor
4. oil pressure sensor
5. fuel temperature sensor
6. coolant level sensor (the function is implemented in the control unit as standard, but no sensor is supplied with the engine as a standard feature.)

Output signals

The control module uses the input signals to control the following components:
1. engine speed regulator (with position sensor for the control rack and actuator)
2. electric air preheating (option)
Information from the sensors provides exact information about current operation conditions and allows the processor to calculate the correct fuel volume, check engine status etc.

Diagnostics function

The task of the diagnostics function is to detect and localize any malfunctions in the EDC 4 system, to protect the engine and to ensure operation in the event of serious malfunction.
If a malfunction is detected, notification is made either by the diagnostic function, by warning lamps or via the CAN network. Pressing the diagnostic button will provide the operator with a fault code for guidance in any fault-tracing. Fault codes can also be read off via the CAN interface or using the Volvo VODIA tool (including Penta EDC 4 software) at an authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
If there is a serious malfunction, the engine is shut down altogether. Here too, fault codes can be flashed out via the diagnostics connector, the CAN interface or with the Volvo VODIA tool (including th Penta EDC4 software) at an authorized Volvo Penta workshop.

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list.
