• Speed selection for 50 or 60 Hz operation
• Droop setting with engine operational
• Acquisition and display of plant-related
measured parameters
• Standardised control system with identical
sensors, interfaces and interface modules
for Series 2000 and 4000 engines
• Troublefree hard and software handling for
customers
• Simple connection to standard, commercially
available genset control systems
• Flexible interface arrangements (in accordance
with customer requirements)
• Minimisation of plant-related matching of
engine/genset monitoring
• Efficient and reliable plant operation due to
rapid fault diagnosis

Service Units
The range of MTU products available for genset
packagers does not end with the engine and the
MDEC system components which are integrated
directly into the plant. Wherever required, service
units are also included in our scope of supply.
These place the customer in a position to match the
electronic MDEC engine management system
quickly and independently to his specific require-
ments, to verify its functions and to evaluate the
parameters measured.

Dialogue Unit
A large number of individual functions are inte-
grated into our MDEC engine management system.
To facilitate optimised matching of the system to
the individual engine/plant operating conditions it
is possible to modify certain control parameters.
These software modifications are realised with the
aid of a dialogue unit which can be connected with
the electronic engine control unit via an associated
interface.
In addition, the dialogue unit offers the possibility
of acquisition and immediate evaluation of exten-
sive measured data, even with the engine in ope-
ration.

MDEC X1 Simulator
Customers need not provide any existing external
control systems, as the MDEC X1 simulator en-
ables to simulate all binary and analogue in- and
output signals at the interface provided for link up
to the customer system [X1 plug]. The MDEC
controller is used to supply and regulate the
necessary power. The simulator is equipped with
jacks for all binary and analogue outputs and for
the two CAN buses. The speed set value can be
simulated by means of a potentiometer.
Connection of the MTU dialogue device possible
via additional plug.

MDEC X2 Simulator
With the MDEC simulator it is possible to produce
artificial operating conditions for the engine
management system, including some critical ones.
It is thus possible to verify whether or not the
MDEC system and the genset control react correct-
ly to limit value transgressions (alarms) and that it
functions correctly.
