Information about Volvo Power Generation - Engine

Volvo Power Generation, Engine Power down sequence

To perform a power down the following sequence shall be performed:
1 Switch off the ignition
2 Send a stop request to the system.
3 When the power down sequence is finished the engine will stop communicating. Auto shutdown will power down the system if the ignition is switched off. Different length of time sequences are being used. (Running engine will continue to run until a stop request is sent to the system).
External stop
External stop is placed in the 8-pole connector on pin 6.
Energized to STOP / RUN
Default external stop function is set to Energized to STOP. To use the stop function as Energized to STOP, apply EMS supply voltage on Pin 6 to stop the engine. By option or changing a parameter it can be set to Energized to RUN. To use the stop function as Energized to RUN, Pin 6 needs EMS supply voltage for the engine to start and run. To stop the engine EMS supply voltage needs to be removed from Pin 6.

Energized to RUN on Pin5
If the function “energized to run” is used the extra stop is on pin 5 together with the ignition.
The main power MUST NOT be switched off before the power down sequence is finished.


Stop
A stop request is addressed by the stop signal and will stop the engine.
Bus interface
Associated message:
J1939: Stop request in VP Status
J1587: Stop request in PPID 98
CIU
Associated hardware/input:
Stop request.
DCU
Associated hardware/input:
Stop request.


Throttle (Synchronizing/Load sharing)
Versatile
The driver pedal demand is realized by the throttle request signal. The signal is interpreted as a 0-100% request where 0% means idle speed and 100% maximal engine speed. This demand will only be overridden if an error occur that may damage the engine or a request with the CAN-message TSC1.
Genset
This is used for controlling the engine speed in order to synchronize and to perform load sharing. 50% throttle corresponds to 1500 or 1800 rpm.
Bus interface
Associated message:
J1939: Throttle in VP Status
J1587: PPID 132
CIU
Associated hardware/input:
Potentiometer supply, signal and ground.
DCU
Associated hardware/input:
Increase decrease engine speed buttons or potentiometer supply, signal and ground.


Governor mode
The engine is normally running in isochronal mode. If there is a need for a smoother controller this can be realized by an active droop mode signal. When the governor mode signal is active then droop functionality is added to the engine speed controller.
Bus interface
Associated message:
J1939: Governor mode in VP Status
J1587: N/A
CIU
Associated hardware/input:
Governor mode request.
DCU
Associated hardware/input:
Available in the menu.

Versatile
If the throttle request is malfunctioning (meaning that there is an electrical fault on the potentiometer or the cable harness) then the idle switch can be used for limp home driving. If there is a fault on the pedal signal then the engine will go to idle speed. If then the idle switch first goes active (meaning that the driver has released the pedal) and then goes inactive (meaning that the driver is pressing the pedal down) then the engine will slowly ramping up the engine speed. The engine speed will be ramped up to maximal 80 % of normal maximal engine speed. When releasing the pedal the engine will immediately go down to idle speed.


If an idle request is sent to the engine it will go to idle speed if the engine unloaded.

Associated message:
J1939: Idle request in VP Status
J1587: N/A
2.11.2 CIU

Preheat
This function is not valid for 124xGE. When a preheat request is received the engine will activate the preheat device if the following conditions are fulfilled.
• The coolant temperature is low.
• The engine is not running.
The preheat device will be activated for a time dependent on the coolant temperature. The engine will also decide, using the coolant temperature, if after heating should be used. Preheating will be terminated immediately if the driver starts cranking. It is possible for the costumer, using Volvo Penta Parameter setting tool, to choose if preheating should be activated immediately after turning on the ignition (prior to same conditions as above).

J1939: Preheat request in VP Status
J1587: N/A
CIU

DCU

Frequency select
This function is only valid for genset applications. The frequency switch is used for changing the nominal engine speed (i.e. switching between 1500 and 1800 rpm). For safety reasons the frequency can only be changed when the engine is stopped.
EMS2 systems

To make a system reset request stop wait 2 second after the last stop request. Then change the state of frequency select to the desired engine speed. Then send a stop request within 10 seconds after the first stop. The frequency select signal must change value during the frequency change. I.e. if the engine runs at secondary speed and the frequency select signal requests primary engine speed when the first stop is issued, the signal has to be switched to secondary followed by primary engine speed, before the second stop request is issued. It is possible to change the frequency using the Volvo Penta aftermarket tool.

Bus interface
Associated message:
J1939: Frequency select in VP Status and & diagnostic request in VP Status.
J1587: N/A

CIU
Associated hardware/input:
Frequency select.
DCU

Engine protection override
It is possible to request engine protection override. When such a request is received the engine will deactivate the engine protection for a predefined time.

Genset engines
The engine protection is disabled as long as the request is active and for another 10s.
Mobile / Versatile / Powerpack
The engine protection is disabled as long as the request is active and for another 10s, but is maximized to 60 seconds.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
