Advanced ECM Data on Cummins INSITE Software (CUMMINS Engines)

Advanced ECM Data

To open the Advanced ECM Data:
1). Connect diagnostic adapter tool (Nexiq USB-Link) to diagnostic port on Cummins Engine or ECM Image. Read More: How to Connecting CUMMINS Engines using Cummins INSITE Software.
2). Click Advanced ECM Data on the Viewbar, as Figure 1.2 below.

(A). Duty Cycle Monitor
The “Duty Cycle Monitor” graphically displays percentages of time that the vehicle has run within specific operating ranges. Operating ranges are based on engine speed (rpm) vs torque. Engine speed displays on the X axis and torque displays on the Y axis of the graph. The values for rpm and torque are defined by the calibration. A bold line is displayed on the graph as a generic torque curve reference. This curve is the same across all engines.

Each block on the graph shows an intersection of rpm values and torque values that represent a specific operating range for the vehicle. The number displayed in each block is a percentage of the total time that the vehicle operated in that range. For example, if a graph has a total of 500 hours of operating time with 5% displayed in a block, then the vehicle spent 25 hours operating within that range.

The total of the percentages displayed in the graph may be a little more or less than 100%. This is due to rounding when INSITE™ reads the data from the ECM.

Three different Duty Cycle maps can be displayed in the Duty Cycle Monitor window:
a). Short Term Map 1 (as Figure 1.1 above).
This map logs a total of 500 hours. When 500 hours has elapsed, INSITE automatically begins logging on Short Term Map 2.
b). Short Term Map 2.
This map logs a total of 500 hours. INSITE automatically begins logging on Short Term Map 2 after 500 hours have been logged on Short Term Map 1.

c). Long Term Map.
This map records operating ranges over the file of the engine or vehicle. It can not be reset.

Note: The parameter values will vary depending on which map is displayed.
→Time Remaining – the amount of time remaining for the displayed map. The Short Term Maps last for 500 hours, and the Long Term Map is practically infinite.
→Map Start Time – the ECM time when logging began for the currently selected map.
→Advertised Power RPM – the engine speed at which the power peak is achieved.
→Advertised Power at RPM – the maximum horsepower rating for this engine.
→Replace Torque RPM – the engine speed at which peak torque is achieved.
→Peak Torque at RPM – the maximum engine power supported by this engine.

(B). Engine Protection Setting
Engine Protection is designed to prevent engine damage when a sensor value exceeds a certain limit for critical engine operating parameters. The Engine Protection feature enables you to view the Engine Protection fault history associated with a specific Engine Protection fault.

A fault history log is provided for each Engine Protection parameter. The last five occurrences of each Engine Protection fault are displayed.

Torque Derate/ RPM Derate

(C). Engine Protection

(D). Engine Abuse History
The Engine Abuse History feature tracks the time the engine has been running above recommended values for various engine parameters. This provides comprehensive data about the life of the engine, how it has been used, how it has been maintained, and what abuse it may have been subjected to.

(E). High Pressure Common Rail Injector Setup
This special feature is used to display and update the barcode values for each injector installed on the engine. The Injector Barcode is an alpha-numeric character sequence, physically marked on the injector. This barcode indicates the injector’s fueling characterization. The ECM uses this information to adjust the injection commands, improving fueling accuracy and minimizing injector-to-injector fueling variations. It is important to update this information when an injector or ECM is replaced. The manual procedure should be used when replacing an injector. The import procedure should be used when replacing or ROM booting an ECM.

(F). SAE J1939 Multiplexed Fault Data

(G). SAE J1939 Powertrain Control
SAE J1939 Powertrain Control enables on-board vehicle control devices such as Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR) for traction control or electronically controlled transmissions to take control of the engine and/or engine subassemblies via the SAE J1939 datalink (network).

Use the SAE J1939 Powertrain Control feature to view a history of when the engine was controlled by a J1939 device. A record of attempts made to control the ECM through a J1939 device can be helpful during troubleshooting.

Work Orders on Cummins INSITE Software (CUMMINS Engines)

Work Orders

#Work Orders – About
Work Orders are used to record and view information about the ECM history enabling technicians to reference previous ECM settings. Work Orders contain one or more images that contain a snapshot of all INSITE™ accessible data.

The Work Orders window is used to manage Work Orders, Images and Templates. The Work Order window has an upper and lower section. The upper section shows Work Orders and summary information. The lower section shows Templates.

Select Work Orders from the Viewbar (refer to Figure 1.1 above) to open the Work Orders window. When connected to an ECM or Simulator, INSITE™ will only display the work orders and images associated with that specific Engine Serial Number and it will only show Templates for that ECM type. If not connected, all Work Orders and Templates will be displayed.

Work Orders are initially sorted by the Last Modified Date, with the most recent Work Orders at the top. The list may be resorted by the values in any of the columns. To resort either list, click on the column header. The table will be resorted based on the selected column in ascending order. Click on the column header again to resort the table again in descending order. Columns may be moved by selecting the column header and dragging it to the desired location.

INSITE™ can be configured to automatically start the Work Order creation process when connecting to an ECM or Simulator by enabling the Work Order Mode. Work Order Mode will also start the image creation process before disconnecting from an ECM or Simulator. The Work Order creation will be started automatically but it can be cancelled if Work Order is not desired. Perform the following steps to enable or disable Work Order Mode:

ECM Time on Cummins INSITE Software (CUMMINS Engines)

ECM Time on Cummins INSITE Software (CUMMINS Engines)

ECM Time – Engine Hours

During operation of the Engine, the ECM records and stores information related to a wide range of events, which includes time stamping. Two different measures of time are available:
1). ECM Time (Key On Time), which is the cumulative ECM hours (HH-MM-SS), refer to Figure 1.1 above, while Engine Hours (Engine Run Time) is cumulative time as the Engine is running (HH-MM-SS).

2). ECM Real Time, which gives a date and 24 hours based time stamp. This feature allows automatic synchronization of ECM Real Time to match the PC Date and Time or a manual change to enter the current ECM Real Time. It is also important to ensure that the local time zone is set correctly to maintain the correct local time.

A battery backup is used to maintain constant power to the Real Time Clock. If the battery backup is not present, a power loss to the Real Time Clock (such as disconnecting the batteries in excess of 5 seconds) causes a loss of Real Time Clock accuracy. This situation generates fault code 319, and the maintenance lamp will light.

#Enabling the Real Time Clock
To enable the Real Time Clock:
a). From Advanced ECM Data, select Real Time Clock. Read More: Advanced ECM Data on Cummins INSITE Software (CUMMINS Engines).

b). Select the Enable Real Time Clock checkbox.

c). The Real Time Clock can either be set automatically or manually:
→Automatically setting the Real Time Clock
-Verify that the Local PC Date and Time are correctly displayed. If this needs to be corrected, it must be done within Windows. Select Undo and close INSITE™. Adjust the PC Date and Time as needed. If the Local PC Time and Date are correct, select the Auto Set button.
→Manually setting the Real Time Clock
-Verify that the Local Time Zone is correct, and then set the correct date and time in the ECM Date and Time frame. Select Apply to save these settings to the ECM.
d). Follow the prompts to save the changes to the ECM.

Note: Once enabled, the Real Time Clock can NOT be disabled and ECM cumulative hours are no longer available.
e). Select Undo to exit the Real Time Clock window without sending changes to the ECM.
