The Machine Electronic Control System provides electronic control of the hydraulic system. The
system includes the following components: various inputs (switches and sensors), an electronic
control module and various outputs (solenoid valves). The Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM)
controls the engine. The Machine ECM also controls the following functions:
z Engine Speed
z Travel alarm
z Swing Brake
z Heavy Lift
z Attachment Actuators
The machine ECM receives signals from the various input devices that are shown on illustration 1.
The ECM makes decisions that are based on this information. The ECM acts on these decisions by
actuating proportional solenoids, ON/OFF solenoids, and relays.

Engine Speed Control
Illustration 1 g01153519
Engine Speed Dial
Illustration 2 g01215943
(12) Machine ECM
(32) Monitor
The machine ECM converts the signal from the engine speed dial into a pulse width modulated
(PWM) signal. The information is then sent to the engine ECM over the Cat Data Link (CDL).
The engine speed dial (14) is divided into 10 positions. The dial position is displayed on the
character display of the monitor panel. The speed of the engine with no load for each dial position is
shown in the following chart.
Table 1
Self-Diagnostic Function
The machine ECM, callout (12) is self-diagnostic. The machine ECM monitors the inputs and the
outputs. The machine ECM also monitors for system problems that occur or system warnings that
are generated during operation. The machine ECM will display a system warning that is generated or
a problem that has been detected via the self-diagnostic function, on the monitor, callout (32). Refer
to illustration 2.
Note: A log file is kept for the warnings. The log file contains the time and the number of
occurrences of each warning.
The first setting of the AEC will lower the speed of the setting of the engine speed dial by
approximately 100 rpm in the "no load" or the "light load" condition.
The second setting of the AEC will reduce the engine speed to approximately 1300 rpm in the "no
load" condition.
Note: When the main backup switch (22) is turned to the ON position (Manual), the AEC function is
disabled.
When the one touch low idle switch (15) is pressed and the machine is not under a load, the engine
speed can be lowered by more than the speed of the setting of the second stage of the AEC. When
normal operations have resumed, the engine speed for the dial setting will return the corresponding
RPM.
The one touch low idle feature will activate during all "stopped" conditions of the implement, swing,
travel and tools. The following components are in the OFF position: implement swing pressure
switch, the travel pressure switch (right), the travel pressure switch (left), the attachment (ATT)
pedal pressure switch and the straight travel pressure switch. However, when the one touch low idle
switch is pressed, the control will lower the engine speed to the speed of the "2" setting of the engine
speed dial to approximately 1020 rpm. This control overrides the AEC.
The one touch low idle will be released when any of the following conditions occur:
The engine speed is different after the switch has been released. The different speed will depend on
the conditions of the release.
1. The engine speed will be set to the setting of the engine speed dial, when the feature for one
touch low idle has been released by an operation of the implement, swing, etc..
2. The engine speed will be set by the AEC. The speed will be set when the one touch low idle
has been released. The engine speed will be affected by the following conditions:
a. When the first setting of the AEC is selected, the engine speed will be set to the speed of
the first setting of the AEC. The speed is approximately 100 rpm lower than the setting
of the engine speed dial.
b. When the second AEC is selected, the engine speed will be set to the speed of the setting
of the second AEC. The speed is approximately 1300 rpm.
c. The engine speed will be set to the speed of the engine speed dial if the engine speed is
lower than the setting of the second AEC. The setting of this speed is not based on a
setting of the AEC.
Illustration 5 g01215953
(12) Machine ECM
This function is designed to prevent the engine from starting at a high speed during a condition of
low oil pressure. After the engine oil filter is replaced, a long time may be required before the engine
oil pressure will reach the specified level. Engine damage may occur if the engine runs at the speed
dial position of 10. The following information describes this function.
The engine speed will be limited to the position of 5, if the engine oil pressure switch is open. The
engine will start at the speed of the 5 position.
This function is designed to prevent damage to the engine that is caused by overspeed during an
overheating condition. Work that requires high pressure will be restricted during an overheating
condition. The engine and other components are protected during this condition. The engine speed
will be decreased to the second setting of the AEC (1300 rpm).
Control Of The Hydraulic Oil At Low Temperatures
When the conditions of the climate are cold and the temperature of the hydraulic oil is low, the
machine may not operate smoothly. The output of the pump will decrease by a small amount. This
allows the operations to be smoother until the temperature of the oil rises. When the hydraulic oil
temperature sensor has detected an oil temperature below 15 °C (59 °F) the system limits hydraulic
pump output pressure to 80% of maximum hydraulic horsepower. When the hydraulic oil
temperature sensor detects an oil temperature that has risen above 20 °C (68 °F), normal control of
the hydraulic oil will begin again.
Pump Regulation
Constant Control of Horsepower
Constant control of the horsepower is associated with the 1 to 9 setting of the engine speed dial. The
flow of the pump is controlled by the power shift pressure when the engine speed dial is in the 1
through 9 position. The hydraulic output will be set according to the position of the engine speed
dial. Even though the pump is delivering the maximum flow, the machine ECM will correct the
power shift pressure in order to maintain the maximum amount of flow. During the delivery of
middle pressure and high pressure, the horsepower of the main pump is controlled in order to prevent
high horsepower of the pump with lower engine horsepower. The machine ECM receives feedback
from the engine speed sensor. The power shift pressure is proportional to the target flow. The target
flow is calculated from the setting of the engine speed and the pressure of the delivery pump
pressure sensor. Thus, the power shift pressure will vary according to the position of the engine
speed dial and the pressure of the delivery pump. The antistall feature for the engine is used in order
to prevent the engine from stalling. The antistall feature will be activated, if the speed of the engine
decreases 250 rpm below the position of the dial in comparison to the setting of the engine speed
dial.
The power shift pressure is fixed for the positions of 1 through 9. The positions of 1 through 4 of the
engine speed dial have a different power shift pressure for each setting. The engine speed dial will
set the desired RPM, which will produce the desired flows. The positions of 7 through 9 of the
engine speed dial have a common power shift pressure that is fixed. The positions 1 through 9 use
engine speed, the position of the engine speed dial, and the pump pressure to set a fixed output. The
output is fixed until a decrease of 250 RPM below the target RPM. At a RPM of 250 below the
target RPM, the engine ECM will adjust the power shift pressure in order to maintain engine RPM
within 250 RPM of the target RPM.
The underspeed condition is associated with a position of 10 of the engine speed dial. The 10
position of the engine speed dial is used when a large amount of horsepower is required or a high
travel speed is requested. In this case, it is necessary to utilize the underspeed feature when the
engine is being operated at a maximum horsepower. The underspeed feature will maintain the speed
of the engine at approximately maximum power. The machine ECM reads the engine speed and the
machine ECM will adjust the power shift pressure in order to regulate the engine speed. The
machine ECM controls the power shift pressure in the underspeed condition. The engine maintains a
speed of approximately 1800 rpm in order to achieve the maximum horsepower. Therefore, when the
engine speed is higher than the full load speed, the output of the pump will increase and the power
shift pressure will decrease. Also, when the engine speed is lower than the target speed, the output of
the pump will decrease and the power shift pressure will increase.
The horsepower of the engine may decrease under the following conditions:
z The engine becomes worn.
The machine ECM will decrease the output of the pump and the machine ECM will increase the
power shift pressure in order to reduce the load on the engine without reducing the engine speed.
This condition occurs if the speed of the engine decreases below full load speed.
Illustration 6 g01215958
The cooling fan speed is controlled by the machine ECM. The machine ECM detects the temperature
of the hydraulic oil, the temperature of the engine coolant and the ambient temperature. A target
speed for the cooling fan is assigned for each engine speed based on the temperature of the hydraulic
oil and the engine coolant. The engine speeds are listed with NO load.
There are two travel speed modes, low-speed (tortoise) and high-speed (rabbit). By selecting the
"tortoise" mode, travel speed is limited to the low travel speed. By selecting the "rabbit" mode, travel
speed will change automatically between low/high speeds. The change in travel speed is dependent
on the delivery pressure of the pump.
Illustration 8 g01159856
Travel Mode selector switch on Switch Panel
Travel Mode selector switch- The travel mode selector switch and travel mode indicators (tortoise
and rabbit) are located on the switch panel. When the travel mode selector switch is pressed, the
travel mode can be set to the rabbit mode or set to the tortoise mode. The indicator (tortoise or
rabbit) will be illuminated in order to show the travel mode that is chosen.
Automatic travel speed change function- The travel speed will automatically be set to the LOW
(tortoise) speed when the machine is first turned on. In order to select the HIGH (rabbit) speed mode,
press the Travel Mode selector switch. While the circuit pressure at the pump output remains below
a certain range, the machine will travel in the HIGH (rabbit) speed. The output pressure of the pump
increases as the load on the machine increases. When the output pressure increases to a certain high
level, the machine will automatically shift to travel in the LOW (tortoise) speed mode. The machine
will automatically return to the HIGH (rabbit) speed mode when the pump output pressure decreases
to the predetermined range.
The Automatic travel speed change function allows the machine to adjust speeds without direct
operator input. The machine will travel at HIGH (rabbit) speed under a light load. The machine will
travel at LOW (tortoise) speed under a heavy load. This ensures that the machine has high mobility
and a high drawbar pull.
The travel speed will remain in LOW (tortoise) speed mode while the machine is in the heavy lift
mode.
When the travel is set to the tortoise mode, the travel is set at low speed and does not change.
This machine is equipped with a swing lock system that is hydraulically controlled. The swing lock
system control circuit provides control for the swing motor, swing brake, fine swing function and
backup system of the machine.
The "swing brake release" is controlled by the hydraulic activation lever (45). When the hydraulic
activation control lever (45) is moved to the locked position, the swing brake is applied. The swing
brake solenoid is energized in order to release the swing brake. The swing brake solenoid (23) is de-
energized approximately 6.5 seconds after all levers and pedals are returned to NEUTRAL position.
The swing brake is released immediately on the operation of any of these: boom, stick, bucket, swing
and an attachment.
If the main backup switch is placed in the Manual position, then the swing brake is electrically
released.
The fine swing function (optional) is designed to open a hydraulic circuit between the A and B ports
of the swing motor for smooth start and stop operation in swing movement.
The machine ECM detects operation of the fine swing switch in order to release the swing brake.
Refer to illustrations 10 and 11. Press the "Heavy Lift" switch on the "Switch Panel", in order to turn
the heavy lift mode ON or OFF. When the heavy lift mode is turned ON, the indicator will
illuminate. When the heavy lift mode is turned ON, the main relief pressure increases from 35 MPa
(5100 psi) to 36 MPa (5200 psi). However, due to the flow restriction, the maximum engine speed is
limited at the speed equivalent to engine speed dial position 6 which is approximately 1600 rpm. The
hydraulic output is restricted at 64%.
Tool Control
When an attachment tool is being operated, the engine speed and the pump flow are controlled
according to the type of tool. For more information, refer to the appropriate service manual for the
tool control of the machine that is being serviced.
Selection Of A Tool
There are five preprogrammed tools. The operator selects the tool. The monitor is used to make the
selection. The following items are examples of some parameters which can be adjusted in order to
accommodate a particular tool:
When the pedal is operated, the actual setting of the engine speed dial is compared to the position of
the engine speed dial that was set by the parameter. The engine speed control will lower the engine
speed to the selected engine speed that was set in the adjustable parameter.
When the tool is deactivated, the speed of the engine will return to the actual speed of the setting of
the engine speed dial.
When the attachment tool is being operated, the AEC and the one touch low idle are released.
Note: If the programmed value is higher than the engine speed dial indicator, the engine speed will
not be raised.
Some tools use the flow of the main pump. A pressure switch detects the pressure change. A
proportional reducing valve restricts the main pump flow. A resolver valve selects the higher
pressure between the pressure in the control valve and the pressure from the proportional reducing
valve. This signal restricts the pump flow to a lower pressure. The main pump flow is then reduced.
This process results in better simultaneous operation of the tool and operation of the implement.
The machine ECM detects an attachment pump operation. This offsets the load of the attachment
pump. This process also prevents a decrease of the engine speed. If an attachment pump is operated
with 50 percent of the rated load and the main pumps are operated at the same time, a reduction in
engine speed is prevented.
Backup System
Illustration 12 g01216056
Backup System Connections
The "Backup System" has been installed to allow an operator to manually control a limited amount
of machine functions in order to move a machine in the event that other machine functions have
failed.
The main backup switch (22) is located to the right rear of the console. When the main backup
switch (22) is turned to the MAN position, the viscous fan speed is set to maximum, the power to the
machine ECM is removed and the "Limited Mobility Mode" is activated. At this time, the joysticks
and the travel pedal cease to function. The engine speed dial on the switch panel of the right console
does not function. The engine speed can be adjusted by the speed switches that are located to the
right rear of the console. At this time, neither the AEC nor the low idle switch will function. The
Monitoring System will display the message "LIMITED MOBILITY MODE" on the Monitoring
System and the Monitoring System will sound the action alarm. The backup switch provides the
minimum machine functions. The Limited Mobility Mode allows the operator to maneuver the
machine to the shop when the machine ECM has failed. Excavating operations are not possible if the
machine is in the Limited Mobility Mode.
Illustration 13 g01216079
Backup Engine Speed Control
When "Pump Toque Control" is selected, the engine output is approximately 60% to 80% of the
rated output for the engine. The power shift pressure is fixed. When the machine engine speed dial is
set to a lower position, the engine output decreases significantly. Care must be taken not to stall the
engine.
Under normal operating circumstances, the swing brake is released. However, if the hydraulic
system is disabled due to a stopped engine or the hydraulic activation control lever is moved to the
locked position, the swing brake will be applied.
Monitoring System
The monitoring system is an input and an output of the Machine Control System. The Machine
Control System communicates back and forth on the CAN Data Link. The monitoring system
consists of the following components: display with numerous screens and menus, keypad, indicators
and gauges. These components will be described throughout this manual.
The monitoring system informs the operator of the status of the machine. The monitoring system
includes a graphic display that allows the operator to view information that pertains to machine
functions. Refer to Illustration 14.
Illustration 14 g01159235
Monitoring System Display
(56) Clock
(61) Keypad
The monitoring system display will display various warnings and information about the condition of
the machine. The monitoring system display has three gauges and a number of alert indicators. Each
gauge is dedicated to a parameter within a machine system. The monitoring system will allow the
user to do the following:
z Perform calibrations
Some of the possible parameters of the machine systems are listed: fuel level, engine coolant
temperature and hydraulic oil temperature. The gauges receive information from sensors or senders
that are connected to the ECM. The ECM uses the information from each sensor input to calculate
the value that is shown on the gauges.
The alert indicators will notify the operator of an abnormal condition in a machine system. The ECM
uses information from pressure switches, sensors and other inputs in order to determine when an
abnormal condition is present. The ECM will send a message to the monitoring system display.
Then, the monitoring system will display a pop up alert indicator for the machine system with the
abnormal condition.

Diagnostic Operation
SMCS - 5050-EK
The ECM shows diagnostic information on the display in order to assist with troubleshooting. This
control system is designed to be used with the Electronic Technician Service Tool (ET). These tools
can be used to perform several diagnostic functions and programming functions.
The following list contains some of the diagnostic functions and programming functions that are
performed by the service tools:
z The status of most of the inputs and the outputs are displayed.
z Display the status of the input and output parameters in real time.
z The number of occurrences and the clock hour of the first occurrence and the last occurrence is
displayed for each logged diagnostic code.
z The definition for each logged diagnostic code and each event is displayed.
See the Troubleshooting, Diagnostic Code List section of this manual for the list of diagnostic codes
for the machine ECM.
Troubleshooting Procedures
These procedures are only for the diagnostic codes that originate from the machine ECM. The
diagnostic codes can be viewed by using any of the following systems: Monitoring System and the
Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) See one of the following references:
z Systems Operation, RENR8068, "Monitoring System"
The following procedures may cause new diagnostic codes to be logged. Therefore, before any
procedures are performed make a list of all the active diagnostic codes in order to determine the
system problems. Clear the diagnostic codes that were caused by the procedure, when each
procedure is complete.
Note: Before you perform a procedure, always check all the circuit breakers. Repair the cause of any
circuit breaker that is tripped.
The module identifier (MID) identifies the electronic control module that detected the diagnostic
code. Each electronic control module on the machine has a unique MID. Use the following chart in
order to match the MID for each diagnostic code to a specific electronic control module. The chart
for the Module Identifier (MID) is located on the Electrical System Schematic for your machine. See
the chart if the MID is not shown on the display of your machine. After the operator determines the
electronic control module that has detected the diagnostic code, see the service manual module for
that particular ECM for more troubleshooting information. The service manual for each ECM is part
of the machine's Service Manual.
If the MID is for the machine ECM, use this service manual module. The MID for the machine ECM
is 039. If the MID is different use the appropriate module.

Table 2
FMI 00 Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range - Every electronic control system sets a
high limit for the expected operating range of the signal. The high limit includes over range signals.
This could be a high temperature. A sensor that is still operating but sending a signal above the
expected limit will cause a FMI 00 to be stored.
FMI 01 Data Valid But Below Normal Operating Range - Every electronic control system sets a
low limit for the expected operating range of the signal. The limit includes signals that are under the
lower limit. The low signal could be the oil pressure signal. The sensor is still working but sending a
signal below the expected limit will cause a FMI 01 to be stored.
This is an example of a PWM sensor. This sensor is not expected to generate a PWM signal below a
duty cycle of 5 percent with zero air pressure. If the sensor generates a signal with a duty cycle of 4
percent when the engine is shutdown. The sensor is still working but sending a signal below the
expected limit will cause a FMI 01 to be stored.
FMI 02 Data Erratic, Intermittent or Incorrect - The signal from a component is present. The
control that reads the diagnostic information can not read the signal properly. The signal appears to
be gone, unstable or invalid. The data can be correct or incorrect intermittently. Also, this condition
relates to communication between controls. This is an example of communication between controls.
When the monitoring system is looking for the engine speed from the engine ECM over the Cat Data
Link.
FMI 03 Voltage Above Normal or Shorted High - The component or system voltage is higher than
the limit. FMI 03 most often relates to a signal circuit.
Some of the components that could cause a FMI 03 diagnostic code are listed:
z Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to a high voltage. A high voltage is
any voltage that is greater than the sensor supply voltage.
z A wiring harness that has an open circuit in the sensor signal wire will cause the control to pull
up. When this occurs the input circuit is pulled up to the supply voltage.
z A faulty control will also cause a FMI 03. This is very unlikely.
FMI 04 Voltage Below Normal or Shorted Low - The component or system voltage is lower than
the limit. FMI 04 most often relates to a signal circuit.
Some of the components that could cause a FMI 03 diagnostic code are listed:
z Any wiring harness that has a sensor signal wire shorted to ground.
z A faulty control will also cause a FMI 04. This is very unlikely.
FMI 05 Current Below Normal or Open Circuit - The current through the component or the
system is lower than the limit. FMI 05 is most often related to a driver circuit.
FMI 06 Current Above Normal or Grounded Circuit - The current through the component or the
system is higher than the limit. FMI 06 is most often related to a driver circuit. This fault is very
similar to FMI 04.
z A faulty control will also cause a FMI 06. This is very unlikely.
FMI 07 Mechanical System Not Responding Properly - The control detects a signal that is sent to
a mechanical system and the response is not correct.
FMI 08 Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width or Period - This occurs when the signal is not in the
expected range. FMI 08 can also relate to a faulty sensor.
FMI 09 Abnormal Update - This relates to communications on the Cat Data Link. FMI 09 occurs
when a control is not able to get information from another control.
z The control module is not communicating on the Cat Data Link correctly.
FMI 10 Abnormal Rate of Change - This relates to a signal that changes too fast. The rate of
change is outside of the expected limit.
FMI 11 Failure Mode Not Identifiable - The control identifies more than one FMI as being
responsible for a single failure.
FMI 12 Bad Device or Component - The electronic control sends a signal and the electronic
control expects a response. The control receives no response or the response is incorrect.
FMI 13 Out of Calibration - The electrical signal is not within limits for a specific mechanical
condition.
z Calibration is required.
FMI 16 Parameter Not Available - The control does not support the requested parameter.
FMI 17 Module Not Responding - The control does not respond to the request for data.
FMI 18 Sensor Supply Failure - The sensor power supply in the control has failed.
FMI 19 Condition Not Met - The conditions that are defined by the software were not met.

Engine Speed Dial Switch
(1) Switch
(2) Schematic
The Machine ECM converts a signal of the Engine Speed Dial into a pulse width modulated (PWM)
signal. The Engine ECM receives the PWM signal in order to control the engine speed at 10 stages.
The position of the Engine Speed Dial is indicated on the display of the Monitoring System.
Right Console Switch Panel
Illustration 2 g01159070
Switch Panel
The one touch low idle switch is located on the right joystick handle (See Illustrations 3 and 4). The
one touch low idle switch will automatically reduce engine speed to 1020 RPM. Both joystick
handles (LH and RH) must be in the neutral position before the engine speed is reduced.
Pressure Switch
Illustration 5 g00663092
Travel Pressure Switch
These pressure switches will monitor the hydraulic system. This switch is normally open. These
switches will inform the controller about the status of the hydraulic demands. When there is no
hydraulic demand these switches are open. The function of the automatic engine speed control
(ECM) of the controller will use these switches to determine control of the engine speed and control
of the pump.
The key start switch is an input of the engine and pump controller. The key start switch informs the
ECM of an attempt to start the engine. Then, the ECM initiates the start procedure.
During normal machine operation, the start terminal of the key start switch is open. If the key start
switch is placed in the START position the start terminal will close. +Battery voltage is supplied to
the start terminal. When all starting conditions are satisfied, the ECM sends a +battery signal to the
start relay and engine cranking begins.
Note: After the key start switch is initially turned to the START position, the switch will not return
to the START position from the ON position. The switch must be turned to the OFF position first.
Then, the switch can be turned to the START position.

Sensors
SMCS - 1439
Sensors provide information to the controller about changing conditions. Some types of information
are listed: speed, temperature and fluid level. The sensor signal changes in a proportional manner.
This change will represent the changing condition. The controller will recognize the following types
of sensor signals:
Frequency - The sensor will produce an AC signal (sine wave or square wave) that varies in
frequency (Hz) as the condition changes.
Pulse Width Modulated - The sensor produces a digital signal (PWM) that varies the duty cycle as
the condition changes. The frequency of the signal will remain constant.
The engine speed sensor is located on the flywheel housing. An AC voltage is produced as the gear
teeth of the flywheel pass the tip of the sensor. The frequency of the voltage is proportional to the
speed of the gear teeth as the teeth pass the tip of the sensor. The controller uses this signal to make
decisions for the hydraulic pump and the engine.
Pressure Sensor

These sensors send a signal to the controller. The controller will use the signal to modify the
following items:

Power Shift Pressure Solenoid (Proportional)
The pump pressure solenoid is an output of the machine ECM. The solenoid is a three-port pressure
reducing valve. The solenoid is the proportional type. The ECM uses a pulse width modulated signal
(PWM) to vary the current that is sent to the solenoid. The distance that is travelled by the solenoid
valve is proportional to the electrical current. The position of the valve opens or the position of the
valve blocks the flow of oil to the pump. When the solenoid is de-energized the flow of the oil is
blocked. The blocked oil flow causes the pump to destroke.
Solenoid (ON/OFF)
Illustration 2 g01158530
The solenoid for Travel Speed Change is an output of the machine ECM. The solenoid for Travel
Speed Change sets the travel speed of the machine. The travel speed depends on the delivery
pressure of the main pump. If the delivery pressure of the main pump is high, the solenoid for Travel
Speed Change is de-energized. When the delivery pressure of the main pump is low, the solenoid for
Travel Speed Change is energized.
The swing brake solenoid is an output of the machine ECM. The swing brake solenoid is energized
in order to release the swing brake. The swing brake solenoid is de-energized approximately 6.5
seconds after any lever is moved to NEUTRAL position, except the travel levers/pedals.
The hydraulic lock solenoid is an output of the machine ECM. The hydraulic lock solenoid is
energized in order to enable the primary hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic lock solenoid is de-
energized in order to disable the primary hydraulic pressure.

Data Links
Cat Data Link
The Cat Data Link is an input and an output of the Machine ECM. The Cat Data Link connects to the
Machine ECM at connector contact J1-33 and J1-43. The data link is designed to carry
communications between the controller and the monitor. The data link is not a visible component.
The data link consists of internal control circuits and a harness wiring. The data link is bidirectional.
The controller can receive information and the controller can send information through the data link.
The controller sends information about the fuel level, engine coolant temperature and many other
signals to the monitor panel.
