(4) Engine ECM
Machine ECM (1) receives the engine speed dial (3) signal from the soft switch panel. The machine ECM then transmits the desired engine speed
to the engine ECM. The position of the engine speed dial is indicated on operator monitor (2). The machine ECM, engine ECM, and soft switch
panel ECM communicates these signals via the CAN data link.

Engine speed dial (3) is a 10-position switch. The selected position is displayed on operator monitor (2). The desired engine speed for each dial
position can be changed in Cat ET. The hydraulic torque settings for each dial position can be changed in Cat ET or through the monitor.

Note: The actual engine RPM and torque output will vary, depending on the setting of the power mode that is selected. The standard mode and
economy mode will change to high hydraulic power mode during travel.

Self-Diagnostic Function
Machine ECM (4) is a self-diagnostic component. The machine ECM monitors the inputs and the outputs. The machine ECM monitors the system
problems that can occur and system warnings that are generated during the operation of the machine. The machine ECM will display a system
warning that is generated, or a problem that has been detected, via the self-diagnostic function on operator monitor (2).

Note: A log file is kept for the warnings. The log file for machine ECM contains the time and the number of occurrences of each warning. The log
file for engine ECM contains the number of occurrences of each warning but does not contains the time of occurrences of each warning.

The Automatic Engine Speed Control (AEC) automatically reduces engine RPM when the machine is inactive. The AEC system is designed to
reduce fuel consumption and noise. Lower engine speeds can also increase engine life.

The engine rpm will recover automatically to the setting of the engine speed dial when any hydraulic function is activated. The AEC system
operates in three modes. Refer to Table 4 for a description of each mode.

Hydraulic demand is detected by either the implement pressure switch, the travel pressure switch, or the pump discharge pressure sensors.

Note: Input components related to the tool control system can detect hydraulic demand as well.

Automatic Engine Speed Control (AEC) Selection Switch

The Automatic Engine Speed Control switch is activated when the engine start switch is turned to the ON position. The indicator lamp will turn on.
When you press the AEC switch, the function of the AEC switch changes from ON to OFF. The operator can choose from three possible modes for
automatic engine speed control. Refer to Table 4 for more details.

One Touch Low Idle Switch (RH Joystick)

Activate the manual low idle in order to reduce the engine speed to approximately 1050 rpm. Pressing the switch again will allow the engine speed
to return to the original setting of the engine speed dial.

The manual low idle allows the operator to reduce the rpm without touching the engine speed dial. This function is useful when the operator wants
to reduce the engine speed to talk to someone or while the operator is waiting for a truck.

Operation of the automatic engine speed control depends on the position of the AEC switch and of the switch for manual low idle. The engine rpm
will recover automatically to the setting of the engine speed dial when any hydraulic function is activated.

(10) One Touch Low Idle Switch (RH Joystick)
When onetouch low idle switch (10) is pressed, and the machine is not under load (all levers and pedals in the neutral position), the engine RPM
can be set lower than the RPM set by the AEC "Stage 2" setting. When normal operations resume, the engine RPM will return to match the Engine
Speed Dial 2 setting.

The operational condition of the machine is detected by the implement pressure switches of the joystick and the travel switch of the travel pedal .

Using the One Touch Low Idle Feature


The one touch low idle feature will activate during all "stopped" conditions of the implement, swing, travel, and tools. However, when the "One
Touch Low Idle" switch is pressed, the control will lower the engine speed. The speed is reduced to a speed dial setting of 2 or approximately 1100
rpm. This control overrides the AEC.

Release of the One Touch Low Idle


The one touch low idle switch will be released when any of the following conditions occur:

The one touch low idle switch is pressed again.

The implement pressure switch is set to the ON position.

A travel pressure switch is set to the ON position.

A pressure switch that is related to a tool is set to the ON position.

An increase in pump pressure sensed by the pump pressure sensors.

The engine RPM is different after the switch has been released. The different speed will depend on the conditions of the release.

1. The engine RPM matches the engine speed dial setting when the one touch low idle feature is released by operating an implement or tool.

2. The engine RPM is set by the AEC when the one touch low idle switch is used to release the one touch low idle function. The engine RPM
will be affected by the following conditions:

a. When the AEC "Stage 1" is selected, engine RPM will be set to the AEC "Stage 1" setting. That setting is approximately 100 RPM lower
than the current setting of the engine speed dial RPM.

b. When the AEC "Stage 2" is selected, engine RPM will be set to the AEC "Stage 2" setting. That setting is approximately 1100 RPM.

c. Engine RPM matches the RPM of current engine speed dial settings, when engine RPM is lower than the AEC "Stage 2" setting. The
setting of this RPM is not based on a setting of the AEC function.

The pump regulators are controlled by the electronic control system. The machine ECM continually monitors various inputs. The machine ECM
sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) driver to the proportional reducing valve on the pump regulators. Proportional reducing valve controls the
output flow of the pump by changing the hydraulic signal pressure that flows to the actuator piston in the pump regulators.

The machine ECM controls the PWM driver sent to the PRV and determines the required pump flow based off the following inputs.

Desired engine speed - Determined by the engine speed dial.

Actual engine speed - Determined by the engine speed pickup.

Negative flow control pressure - Determined by the drive pump pressure sensor and the idler pump pressure sensor.

Drive pump delivery pressure - The drive pump delivery pressure is measured by the drive pump pressure sensor located on the main control
valve.

Idler pump delivery pressure - The Idler pump delivery pressure is measured by the idler pump pressure sensor located on the main control
valve.

Integrated Engine and Pump Power Management Control


The integrated engine and pump power management control is a suite of software programs loaded into the engine ECM and machine ECM. This
power management control performs the function of coordinating hydraulic power demands with engine power production. The machine ECM
monitors the position of the joystick which corresponds to operator requests for hydraulic power. The machine ECM communicates with the engine
ECM to control the flow of fuel to the injectors in coordination with changes in power demands from the various machine systems. The engine
output power is matched to the sum of all power loads to ideally provide zero engine speed acceleration or deceleration. The steady-state control
output can be attained nearly instantaneously using the CAN Datalink connection between the machine ECM and engine ECM.

Antistall Function
The output of the engine will decrease when inferior fuel is used to operate the machine or when the machine is operated at high altitudes. When
the engine output decreases, the engine speed will drop during operation.

When the engine speed is decreased by more than 250 rpm below the rpm for a “no load” condition at a given "Engine Speed Dial" setting, the
pump flow is decreased in order to reduce the load on the pump.

The location of the switch that is used to control the travel speed of the machine.
There are two modes of travel for the machine. The modes are "Tortoise" and "Rabbit". The control for the travel speed is located on the touch pad
that is located to the right of the operator. The panel includes an indicator in order to display the speed function that is active. When the main pump
pressure is low, the travel speed is automatically increased to high speed. When the main pump pressure is high and the selected travel speed is
high, the travel speed is automatically switched to low speed. When the travel speed is set to TORTOISE, the travel speed is fixed at the low speed
(no change).
