Introduction
Reference: “General Information”
There are two types of Logic Control Governor, the
LCG1 and the LCG2.
The Perkins Logic Control Governor is an electronic
governor for speed control which contains a rotary
actuator. The circuit board for the controller is in the
same housing. The unit can provide a number of
preset speeds, bias speed and control settings. The
unit also provides the link for the diagnostic and the
data functions.
This manual covers installation, programming of
software and diagnostics. The functionality of the
control unit can be changed with the service tool
software.
NOTICE
Do not perform any procedure that is outlined
in this publication until you have read the
information and understand the information.
Note: Only trained personnel should only carry out
installation and servicing. Use the correct tools and
the correct procedures to carry out the installation
of the governor.
Function
Functions that set the speed of the governor are
listed below.
• Select “50/60 Hz” in order to select 1500 rpm or
1800 rpm as the governor speed. This is based
on the voltage input when the voltage inputs are
applied to the governor.
• “50/60 Hz” can increase engine speed.“Raise /
lower adjust” can decrease engine speed. This
is based on voltage inputs while the engine is in
operation. The functions of the speed bias are
listed below.
• The “isochronous” speed cannot change the speed
44 of the governor. The functions that sense the
speed are listed below.
44
44 • Magnetic Pick Up (MPU) speed sensing converts
44 flywheel speed or the pulse for the ring gear speed
44 into engine speed, in rpm. Control functions are
45 listed below.
45
45 • The coefficients for the speed control are reset,
45 compensation and gain. The logic and support
45 functions are listed below.
55
57 • “Overspeed error” can determine when the actual
engine speed is too high.
• “Underspeed error” can determine when the actual
engine speed is too low.
• “Fail safe error”. Detect engine speed low of the
signal input.
• “Error on configuration” will detect a configuration
that has not been downloaded to the controller.
• “Relay control” controls the driver for the relay
output during error conditions.
• “Fault storage”. Whenever an error has occurred a
fault code is recorded. The fault code is recorded
as a Electronic Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM) format.
• “Governor state”. The generated code by the
engine is detected by the governor state.off, crank,
start, run, or error. The error is based on code that
is generated.
Service Software
The LCG1 and LCG2 have a digital control system
with no externally accessible adjustment. Software is
available in order to help the distributor or Original
Equipment Manufacture (OEM) with each phase of
the application, manufacture and field service. The
software for the LCG1 and the LCG2 is compatible
with Windows 2000/XP software. The software gives
the distributor and the OEM the ability to perform the
following procedures:
• Input software files to the LCG1 and the LCG2.
• Enable the technician to view fault codes .
• Enable the Logic control governor software to be
updated during the field service.
The logic control governor service tools are available
from your Perkins dealer or your Perkins distributor.

System and Application

System Operation
When the power supply is connected, the LCG1 and
LCG2 are ready to operate within 0.25 second. Power
may be connected to the governor. Simultaneously,
power to the starting motor is connected. When the
engine is started, the engine will immediately select
the correct rated speed. The governor will drive the
fuel system linkage between the minimum fuel and
the maximum in order to maintain a steady speed.

The signal to this solenoid should be sent directly

from the engine control panel. The signal should be
independent of the governor. When the governor is
not powered, the governor cannot drive the actuator
to the minimum fuel position.

Note: The LCG1 and LCG2 cannot be used to shut

down the engine.

Table 3
Function
Isochronous
50/60 Hz select
Lower speed
Raise speed
50 / 60 Hz
This feature allows the engine speed to be set.
Between the primary rated engine speed and the
secondary engine rated speed, a discrete input is
used to toggle between the two set speeds. The input
comes into AUX4. When the engine is started with
the input at the low state (ground), the controller will
adjust the engine speed to the“ 50Hz” speed setting.
When the engine is started with pin in the high state
+12V dc, the controller will run at the “60Hz” speed
setting. Any change on AUX pin will be ignored once
the engine is running. The state is determined only
when power is first applied to the governor.
Raise and Lower Engine Speed
This feature allows the user to change the engine
speed with external voltage inputs. Speed will change
at the rate of two rpm second.
Note: This must not be used for ramping from “50
Hz to 60 Hz”.
Lower
This AUX2 voltage input acts directly on the internal
engine speed within the LCG1 and the LCG2. This
decreases the speed of the engine progressively to
a lower limit. The speed will change at a rate of two
rpm per second as long as the input stays in the high
state. The input can change from a high state to
a low state. The reference point for the speed will
remain fixed at the last setting that is reached. The
input will revert to a low state.
Raise
This AUX3 voltage input acts directly on the internal
speed within the LCG1 and the LCG2. This increases
the speed of the engine progressively to a upper limit.
The speed will change at a rate of two rpm second
as long as the input stay in the high state. The input
will revert to a low state. The reference point for
the speed will remain fixed at the last setting that is
reached. The input will revert to a low state.

Speed Biasing
Isochronous
This is the default speed biasing function that
maintains the engine at one speed setting throughout
operation regardless of load.
Auxiliary Biasing (Isochronous load sharing)
This feature allows the user to alter the set point for
the auxiliary biasing (isochronous load sharing) with
an external signal. The auxiliary biasing (isochronous
load sharing) files can be altered by using the
appropriate software and a load sharing unit. This
input signal connects into AUX1. The input signal is a
programmable ±3V input. This function modifies the
desired engine speed with the following formula:
• Speed reference x bias percentage x offset AUX1
input voltage
The bias percentage is a programmed value of ±7%.
This analog input should be provided by a voltage
transmitter via twisted, shielded wire pairs.
Speed Sensing
Magnetic Pickup (MPU)
The MPU input has been designed for a variable
reluctance speed sensor. The frequency range of the
MPU input “100 Hz to 12.000 Hz”. The MPU input
will accept at least “14.000 Hz” in order to provide a
margin of safety. The required minimum peak to peak
voltage is 2 volts at 100 Hz and 25 volts at 12.000 Hz.
A voltage of ± 3V is required from the MPU on pin
11. The number of flywheel or gear teeth that pass
the magnetic pickup for one crankshaft rotation is
programmed into the configuration file. The Perkins
configuration files will allow 126 gear teeth per
revolution.
To calibrate the Perkins MPU input, the crankshaft
must be rotated 360 degrees. Position the flywheel
at the highest point that is adjacent to the MPU
aperture. The dial test indicator (DTI) is required
for the procedure. Screw in the MPU until the face
comes into contact with a tooth for the starter ring
gear. Then unscrew by half to one turn in order to
give a gap of 0.5 ± 1.0 mm (0.0198 ± 0.039 inch).
Tighten the locknut. Rotate the crankshaft. Ensure
that there is no contact between MPU and the tooth
of the ring gear.
Related configuration files are MPU and flywheel
teeth.
Control Functions
Speed Control
This is the function of the governor. The speed
control calculates the difference between the desired
speed and the actual measured engine speed. The
speed control will adjust the desired actuator position.
The functions that set the speed are responsible for
selecting the set point for the active speed. Dynamic
functions set the dynamics for this function.
Dynamics Functions
A variety of dynamics or gains are available for
tuning the engine and the response of the actuator.
The response of the movement of the actuator is
controlled by Proportional Integral and Derivative
(PID) control. The speed control of the engine is
controlled by the following functions.
• Reset
• Gain
• Compensation
The user has access to these terms.
Dual Dynamics
The feature allows the user to toggle between two
sets of user defined dynamics or gains. The dual
dynamics are not enabled on Perkins configuration
files.
Timing for Cold Start
Gensets that require G3 performance are also
susceptible of an unstable cold start. The LCG1 and
LCG2 is equipped with a timer for a cold start. The
timer will set the gain of the controller to a lower
value until the time expires. This gives an engine
time in order to warm up before switching to a normal
gain value.
5
Automatic Gain Trim
The LCG1 and LCG2 contains a function in order to
adjust the automatic gain. The function will correct the
variations in engine power. The variations in engine
power will affect the performance of the governor.
The function adjusts the gain of the controller which is
based on a steady state measurement and transient
engine speed measurement. The LCG1 and LCG2
is programmed for the stability of the engine. The
function is used to compensate for the effects of the
following:
• Altitude
• Temperature
• Fuel quality
The function that is programmed into the LCG1 and
the LCG2 is not intended to compensate for serious
engine faults.
This function continuously monitors the speed of
the engine relative to the currently active reference
engine speed. If this function observes a steady state
speed band that exceeds a programmable set point
then the currently active gain is decreased until the
programmable minimum gain setting is reached.
When this function detects a transient off speed
change that exceeds the currently active set point,
the gain is increased until the set point is achieved.
The currently active parameter is increased until the
programmable maximum gain setting is reached.
This feature is not adjustable.
Logic And Supporting Function
Engine Overspeed
The LCG1 and LCG2 control has an overspeed
function. This is set to shut down the engine at 2080
rpm. The function of the engine overspeed is typically
110% of the maximum rated engine speed. Detection
of engine overspeed is a function of the LCG1 and
LCG2. The actuator on the LCG1 and the LCG2 will
be driven to the minimum fuel. This will activate the
relay output, and the software will store a fault code
in EEPROM. Cycling power to the LCG1 and the
LCG2 will restore normal operation, but the fault will
remain in non-volatile memory until this is reset.
Note: The LCG1 and LCG2 control is not used as the
primary device for overspeed protection.

• Overspeed function • Configuration

Underspeed Error • Failsafe

The LCG1 and LCG2 has a programmable
underspeed function that is set to shut down the
engine at 480 rpm. Detection of engine underspeed is
a function on the LCG1 and the LCG2. The actuator
on the LCG1 and the LCG2 will be driven to the
minimum fuel. This will activate the relay output, and
the software will store a fault code in EEPROM.
Fail Safe Error
Protection of the engine against overspeed upon loss
of the speed input signal. Detection of overspeed
upon the loss of the speed input signal the function for
the actuator on the LCG1 and the LCG2. The LCG1
and LCG2 will drive the actuator to the minimum
position. Loss of engine speed output from the MPU
that exceed the programmed 0.5 second. The relay
output will also be turned “ON” and the software
will store a fault code in the EEPROM. Cycling the
power to the LCG1 and the LCG2 will restore normal
operation. The fault code will remain in non-volatile
memory until the non-volatile memory is reset.
Related Parameters for the Configuration File
• Failsafe
• Fail Safe Timeout Period.
• EEPROM Fault Storage
• Relay Control
There are two conditions that will prevent this output
from operating:
• The connection of the battery“+” lead.
• connection of the lead to ground “-”
If this output is intended to drive a fault light, these
conditions will not be obvious.
Storage of Faults
Detection of an error code by the LCG1 and the
LCG2 is then stored in the EEPROM. The following
codes are listed.
• Configuration
• Overspeed
• Failsafe
Preliminary Adjustments
This section covers the installation of the LCG1 and
the LCG2 to the fuel pump and to the associated
electrical system.
Setting Instructions for Droop Screw
Note: Disconnect the power supply before working
on the fuel injection pump.

Configuration Error code 1. Clean the upper surface of the fuel injection pump
in order to remove dirt.
The error codes for the LCG1 and the LCG2 are
permanently enabled. The software for the governor
will check for error codes.

If a configuration error code is detected the system

will shut down. The error code must be clearedin
order to reactivate the system.

Relay Control
The discrete output is a closure to ground. The
discrete output is capable of sinking 250mA. 1.5V is
available to power external relays for devices such
as fuel shutoff solenoids. The LCG1 and LCG2 has a
diode for protection, so it is not necessary to provide
one externally. This output is normally floating with a
very weak resistor. The LCG1 and LCG2 has a +ve
5V internal voltage.

The following codes are listed.

• Overspeed

The LCG1 has a operating voltage of 8 to 12volt dc
with a nominal voltage of 13.5 volt dc. The power
supply is load dump and reverse polarity protected.
This consumes 64 watt maximum power at a peak
current of 4 amps. This is at 16 volt dc with a 4 ohm
resistance at temperature 25 °C (77 °F). The control
system should be protected with a 6 amp fuse in
the power supply line. The application should be
configured to turn on power to the governor when the
engine is first switched to the starting position. The
power should be removed just before the engine is
shut off. This allows the actuator to deactivate.

Curve for MPU voltage

MPU input voltage is the requirement versus input
frequency.
The LCG1 and LCG2 has an output driver that
activates the relay. The relay is activated at any time
when an error is detected by the LCG1 and LCG2.
• “Overspeed”
• “Underspeed”
• “Fail safe”
• “Configuration error”
The driver can sink up to 250mA of current. This is
through an external device that is powered with a
+ve voltage. The driver internally protected against
inductive back feed.
The LCG1 and LCG2 have three dedicated digital
inputs. AUX2 AUX3 AUX4 The inputs are used in
order to activate various features of the control.
Shorting out of a input pin to +ve 12 Volts dc
activates. Removal of +ve 12Volts dc from the input
pin or shorting the pin to ground deactivates the
input. At least 4Volts dc must be present on an input
pin in order to changes. This changes the inactive
state to a active state. All discrete inputs will be the
same voltage as the supply to the power for the
system. This activates only while the input is in a high
state. Voltage that is greater than 4 Volts dc is high.
Voltage that is less than 1 Volt dc is low.
The pins on the connector are protected from shorting
to ground and to the power supply. This is except
pins 2,3 and 5. These pins are not protected against
shorting to the positive side of the electrical system.
installing of a fuse on number two pin would provide
protection to these pins. Installation of a fuse on pin
1 is still required on the connection. Pin 1 B+ve still
needs protection against a short to grounds.

AUX1 is configured as a ±3Volts dc analog input.
LCG1 and LCG2 can be interfaced to other electrical
equipment through the AUX1 +ve and AUX1 -ve
inputs Isochronous load sharing.

The above Deutsch components are recommended

for designs of the harness.

Use 1.0 to 1.5 mm2 stranded copper wire at 16

to 18 AWG with insulation that meets the thermal
requirements of the design of the harness. Wires on
the connector that are not used should be installed
with a blank plug Deutsch 114017. Seal the connector
from the elements of the environment. The wire
harness within 400 mm (16 inch) of the connector
is recommended. The maximum recommended
harness length is 6.1 m (20 ft). The wiring harness
should be a single bundle. Use grommets when the
harness is passed through metal panels. Ground the
shielded wire of the MPU signal wire at the controller
on the LCG2. Ground the wire at the setscrew on
the body of the governor. Do not ground the shielded
MPU signal wire at the MPU.

The shielded wire for the AUX1 input should be

connected together when Isochronus Load Sharing
is used. Ground this shield on the engine near the
control.

LCG 1
Software Programming
The LCG 1is a digital control system with no
externally accessible adjustment. A software is
available in order to help the distributor or original
equipment manufacture OEM with each phase of
the application, manufacture and field service. The
software for the LCG 1 is compatible with Windows
2000 XP software. The software gives the distributor
and the OEM the ability to perform the following
procedures:
The Logic Control Governor service tools are
available from your Perkins dealer or your Perkins
distributor.
• Programming and date harness
Note: The engine or generator set should not be
run if the programming harness is connected to the
computer.
Software Installation
• The software is available on a CD.
• Input software files to the LCG 1 governor.
• Fault codes can be viewed by a technician.
• Logic control governor software update during the
field service
Locate the executable file and double click the left
hand button in order to install the program. Follow the
instruction on the screen.

Screen for the LCG 1

Select the program for the LCG 1 from the menu. The
LCG Control Service Tool will appear for a short time.
The LCG Control Service Tool will then disappear.

51
This is the first screen that appears when the Graphic
User Interface (GUI) is initialized. To use the GUI
flash tool, the user must have either an LCG1 with a
supported Firmware revision or the user must have
access to a valid configuration file.
Illustration 44
The GUI supports Firmware revisions. The dialog box
in the center of the screen will indicate that an LCG
SPD/TOPPING configuration format will be used. If
the system displays another configuration format,
then contact the Perkins Technical Support Centre at
(www.help_technical@perkins.com).
IDENTITY CONTROL-. This Identifies the version
of Firmware that is used by the LCG. Ensure
that theLCG is connected to the computer via a
Programming harness.

IMPORT CONFIG FILE - opens an existing
configuration file. Use the internet browser to select
the desired file. (Configuration files use a *.lcs
extension.)
Note: In working with the LCG, the power must be
cycled periodically. The user will be prompted to turn
the power to the ON position or to the OFF. If the
power cycle is not completed within ten seconds
a message will appear. The message prompts the
user to retry. The message also prompts the user to
terminate the current activity.
Once a valid file or valid LCG has been identified, a
screen is displayed. Refer to illustration 43. The box
in the center of the screen determines the version
of the LCG.

Speed Governor Applications
NOTICE
Know in advance how to safely shut off the engine
during normal and emergency stop conditions.
When power to the governor is shut off, this does
not guarantee a shutdown; it depends on the final
application. Safety needs to be the primary thought
during this procedure.
Gain will determine the speed that the control system
responds to an error, when the speed reference is
changed or the load changes. A value that is too high
will result in fast oscillations in speed. A value that is
too small will result in poor control performance. This
may result in slower oscillations.

Speed governor applications require the speed

control loop is calibrated for load transients and
steady state conditions. Use this procedure to derive
the values of the speed control coefficients (reset,
gain, and compensation) for a fixed engine speed.

55
A reset prevents a slow surge at a steady state.
Restrictions are present when the speed is altered.
When the speed error returns to zero, the restrictions
are controlled by the reset. A value that is too high
will result in low variations of frequency in engine
speed. The actuator will tend to hit the stops. A value
that is too high is indicated by an over restricted
condition or a speed error that returns too slowly
to zero. A value that is too low is indicated by an
under restricted condition. The speed value may
overshoot the reference. The speed valve may reset
with several restricted oscillations. A value that is too
low a value will result in a slow, low amplitude surge
of speed about the speed reference.

Compensation term compensates for actuator lag.

Compensation term adjusts the rate of change in
the output of the actuator when the load changes
in a value. A value that is too low will result in
under damped control. A value that is too high will
result in excessive movement of an actuator at high
frequency.

Viewing and Resetting Fault Codes

To view the control fault register, select the View Fault
Codes option that is located in the Fault Code Menu.
The program will display the part of the error that is in
the register. Configuration error, overspeed error or
failsafe error. A configuration error is the result of not
downloading a configuration file into a new control.
Overspeed and failsafe errors relate to issues with
the MPU or the connection to an ignition system.

Reset Fault Codes

Erase the contents of the control fault register by

selecting the Reset Fault Codes option. The program
will reset the state of all errors.
