Warnings and
Safety Instructions
Information
Follow the warnings and safety instructions of all involved components because
otherwise the safe operation of the whole system cannot be ensured!
GEM301EC is part of a complex system for test bench automation. Make sure
that all components can be operated safely. This includes both the test bench
components and connections and fittings as well as the control software.
This documentation covers only specific situations that may occur with the
involvement of GEM301EC in the system. For further instructions, refer to the
documentation for PUMA and Concerto and the manuals of the installed compo-
nents.
Test bench
CAUTION
Perform testruns only on checked systems and only with approved testruns.
Carefully check the test bench and the testruns prior to performing a
GEM301EC testrun.
The test bench must be functioning and safe also without integration of
GEM301EC. Verify whether manual measurements and calibrations can be
carried out on components of the PUMA Open system.
Pay particular attention to the parameterization of PUMA and the safety equip-
ment of the test bench.
Test bench
Make sure that the test bench door is closed during an automatic testrun and no
persons stay within the test bench. Check the functioning of the gas alarm
(CO/HC). Make sure that all safety devices are enabled before starting a testrun.
TCC
Be careful with the TCC settings! In particular, pay attention to the activation of
the CVS blower.
Information
Engine configuration
Verify whether the engine data, normnames and values have been correctly
entered in PUMA. The data is absolutely required for the Limit Monitoring!
Limits for oil
Check the stored limits for the monitoring of oil pressure/oil temperature in the
Limit Monitoring (SAL/GWA). Activate and check their monitoring.
Limits for cooling water
Check the stored limits for the monitoring of the cooling water temperature in the
Limit Monitoring (SAL/GWA). Activate and check their monitoring.
Maximum speed and torque
Check the stored limits for the monitoring of the maximum speed and torque in
the Limit Monitoring (SAL, GWA). Make sure that a warning is generated and the
engine is regulated automatically if the maximum values are exceeded.
Drive shaft
On a daily basis, check the drive shaft (locking of the drive shaft cover, fittings,
etc) and the shaft monitoring in PUMA Open (SAL/GWA).
Components
CAUTION
Check the correct connection and tightness of all connections for each of every
device that is used and the correct parameterization in PUMA Open and
measurements readiness (e.g. paper supplies, gas supplies, etc.).
In particular, check the following components before running an automatic
testrun (for detailed information, refer to the related device manual):
Particulate Sampler
Check the connections and filters of the devices (hoses, pipe connections,
valves, connectors). Loaded filters are toxic – handle them and dispose of them
accordingly!
Exhaust tract
Check especially the connection from the exhaust to CVS or house suction.
Use the CVS documentation to verify whether the connection type and the
blower fulfill the requirements.
Make sure that the exhaust bags have been connected properly and are func-
tioning trouble-free.
Be careful when handling diluted exhaust gas because it is inflammable!
Fuel equipment
Make sure that the specified fuel is used and has been set in the engine param-
eters. Check whether the correct fuel valves are actuated and whether fuel pres-
sure is built up.
Emission test bench
Prior to starting PUMA Open, make sure that the used emission test benches
are properly connected and ready for operation (gases connected, tightness
checked?).
Check whether the proper sampling points have been selected and the corre-
sponding lines connected before controlling the emission test bench. Check all
sampling points (even if they are not used).
Make no changes to the gas supplies during a testrun either.
CVS
Prior to starting PUMA Open, make sure that the used CVS is properly
connected and ready for operation (tightness checked with Leak Check, blower
started?).
The function of the blower must be checked regularly because a failure can
result in serious consequences (fire in the CVS).
Smart Sampler
Perform a leak check of the tunnel before the Smart Sampler is used for a
testrun. Check all sampling points (even if are not used).
Testruns
CAUTION
For some automatic testruns, checks must be carried out beforehand to ensure
a safe operation.
Testrun according to US 06:
This testrun is characterized by a very steep curve. Check engine and drive shaft
before the testrun and determine whether the engine is able to follow the drive
profile!
Testrun according to ECE R24
A free acceleration phase is part of this testrun. Run the validation part of the
testrun separately without dynamometer (drive shaft disconnected) first and
check the running of the engine.
Testruns according to ECE R49 and ECE ESC
After the first testrun, use the evaluation to check (GEM Offline) whether the step
times were kept before running any further testruns.
All testruns:
Only select a calibration of emission test bench(es) after the availability of the
related gases has been checked (span gas, zero gas, …).

The dialogs are structured differently, depending on the selected test. The
Online window is adjusted specifically to the requirements and the test bench
and may therefore differ from the dialog shown here.
Basically, the elements described are similar in every GEM installation because
this dialog is composed of PUMA dialog elements as well and can also be
adapted to the relevant test bench accordingly.
The main difference between the test-specific versions concerns the presenta-
tion of the test, which may vary from test type to test type.

5 Configuration Editor
As the GEM 301EC application package is fully based on Puma Open it is
necessary to adapt it to the PUMA Open configuration where it will be executed
e.g. Norm- / Systemnames, MDV device names. Further on all parameters which
are not initialized by Puma Open parameter load sets need to be initialized with
proper values for the actual configuration.
All these settings can be done via the GEM301EC Configuration Editor.
1. Start the GEM 301EC Configuration Editor:
The executable files of the Configuration Editor are embedded in the
GEM301EC Offline work environment. During the setup a shortcut on the
Windows desktop is generated. Double click the shortcut to start the EC
Configuration Editor.

1 .....Map Normnames in this section and do also unit conversion here. Note: It's not allowed to map normnames
twice. If some channels are not needed, map dummy normnames which aren't used.
2 .....You have to convert the unit in section 1, so the resulting unit is the same as in section 2.
Fig. 48
Example:
Normname for CO2 (Postcat) has unit [%].
Onlinemass Formula needs [ppm] for CO2 Postcat (see section 2).
So this Normname has to be multiplied with factor 10,000 to get [ppm].
That procedure has to be applied to every Normname that is mapped in
section 1.
Information
If you rename Normnames which are needed for GEM301EC, you have also to
do the same changes in the GEM301EC Configuration Editor!

Normname PUMA Open quantity to which online values are written and which is unique in
the entire test facility.
Has a name and attributes, such as unit, type (floating point number, integer
number, text), decimal places and a current value (if the online system is active).
Normname Browser Tool used to select normnames in PAM (offline parameterization) and POI
(online visualization).
Parameters Parameters are data which describe the test bench, the test bench environment,
the test sample and the testrun.
A parameter block is a collection of parameters which are summarized in a block
by subject.
A parameter set consists of parameter blocks which contain test bench indepen-
dent, test bench dependent, specimen dependent, test specific and driver
specific parameters.
The term refers to a variable which is determined prior to execution and is
treated as a constant.
Particulate According to the EPA definition, particulates are substances which can be
deposited on a Teflon-coated fiber glass filter or on a Teflon membrane filter
through which diluted exhaust flows at a temperature below 52 °C (152 °F).
There is a distinction between primary particulates and secondary particulates.
Particulates consist mainly of soot (pure carbon), plus adsorbed hydrocarbons
(from unburned fuel and lubricants), from sulfates (from sulfur in the fuel),
nitrates, unburned additives, ashes, water, grindings etc.
Due to their small size, the particulates are absorbed by the lung and are not
retained and carried off by the cilia. The particulates must therefore be consid-
ered detrimental to health.
Particulate Filter According to the regulations of the EPA, Teflon-coated fiber glass filters with an
Disks effective diameter of 60 mm are used for sampling the particulates. One filter
holder holds one pair of particulate filter disks:
Front filter (primary filter) and Backup filter (secondary filter)
It is difficult to meet the criterion of achieving a minimum filter loading of 2.5 mg
by applying the particulate filter measuring technique.
Particulate Mea- As can be seen from the definition of particle measurement, the engine exhaust
surement must be diluted to reduce the exhaust temperature to the maximum temperature
allowed to measure this exhaust component. There are two possible ways to do
this: Full flow dilution systems and flow dilution systems.
PDP-CVS Positive displacement pump CVS, named after the method to maintain a
constant volume flow rate. See also CFV-CVS.
stops.
Primary Particu- Primary particulates are emitted directly by the engine. They can be up to 2.5
lates micrometers in size.
Raw Exhaust Mea- Measurement of undiluted exhaust flow, in contrast to a diluted flow.
surement
RMC The RMC (Ramped Modal Cycle) is a ramped stationary 13 step cycle according
to the EPA regulations. Before each step, there is a defined ramp (accelera-
tion/deceleration) of 20 seconds duration, as defined in the legislation. GEM
calculates these steps, based on the full load curve of the engine.
S.I. engine Spark ignition engine
Sample Points Sample points are the locations at which the exhaust samples are taken for
measurement. For example Diluted or Bag.
SANTORIN Product name for AVL ASAM-ODS products which access ORACLE databases
via the ASAM interface.
Secondary Particu- Secondary particulates arise in the atmosphere due to various reactions of
lates exhaust components with each other. They can be 2.5 to 10 micrometers in size.
Smart Sampler With this type of flow dilution device, only a very small portion (typically less than
1 %) of the exhaust is sampled. Via a heated line, this flow is directed into the
dilution tunnel, where it is mixed with fresh air. Normally the tunnel is also heated
in order to ensure similar environmental conditions like in a full flow dilution
system.
Behind the dilution tunnel, the exhaust-air mixture is passed through two particu-
late filters.
In contrast to a full flow dilution system, a flow dilution system allows only
measurements of the particulate emission. The gaseous emissions have to be
measured in the undiluted exhaust, which at present is permissible only for
stationary tests.
The advantage of a flow dilution system is its considerably smaller size
compared to a CVS.
Time-Continuous The term "time-continuous" means that a measured value from the recorder
track is used instead of an averaged value.
Weighting In test procedures which include a number of modes, weighting factors are
assigned to the individual modes. In this way, the impact of each operating point
on the total result is controlled.
WHDC The World-wide Harmonized Heavy-Duty Certification Procedure includes
WHSC and WHTC cycles.
WHSC The World Harmonized Stationary Cycle is a ramped stationary 13 step cycle,
After a 10 minute warmrun, the measurement is made along the complete test
run.
WHTC The World Harmonized Transient Cycle is a transient cycle consisting of a cold
and a hot phase.
