Introduction
‘The CleanBurm III control system is a modular, totally integrated system which
safely allows the engine to meet the load applied as it controls emissions. Its
design is based upon the years of field experience gained with the CleanBurn I
and CleanBurn II control system.
It utilizes connectors on all control system sensors and actuators, making it a
modular system. All control elements are connected to the master control unit
with wiring harnesses. This allows easy field change out of all components with
minimal engine down time. The below figures show the hardware features of the
CleanBurn III contro! system.
Fool Seasing ) (Foner Supiy
The main computer, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and its programs are
contained in the Master Control Unit, Inputs are taken from on-engine field
devices such as pressure, temperature and speed transducers and processed into
digital information. This information is then utilized by the control programs to
safely allow the engine to meet the load while maintaining guaranteed emission
levels with the best fuel consumption possible. All safety shutdowns and alarms
are measured and monitored by the CleanBum III control system
Cooper Energy Services Mount Vernon Training CenterAjax - Superior CleanBurn™ II
Every CleanBurn III system comes with a master control panel but final
configuration of the system is based on customer requirements.
‘A Data Display and Control panel is the user's interface with the engine. It allows
the user to start and stop the engine both manually and automatically with just the
push of a button, set the engine speed, look at real - time data and monitor all
alarms and trips
Available options allow the customer to configure his engine with:
‘© fuel property measurement devices for sites where fuel quality is
inconsistent
+ additional digital inputs for engine or valve control
«a stand-alone on-engine power system to maintain 24 volt control panel
power
«monitoring systems for remote control and graphic engine performance
and alarm monitoring
‘The modular design of this system allows simple and straightforward diagnostics
and easy change out of faulty components and modules in the field, These
components and modules are all stocked in Cooper Aftermarket warehouses and
can be at the customer’ site the next day. All of these components and modules
are 100% tested and calibrated before being put into inventory, ensuring that
every part will work the first time when it gets to the customer.
Fuel, Air and Exhaust Systems
The fuel, air and exhaust systems for the Superior 2400G series function in a
similar manner on all other Superior natural gas engines. The CleanBurn Ill
control system therefore can be applied to any of the engines with only minor
modifications
Fuel System
The fuel system controls the flow of fuel to both the pilot and the main fuel
header. The amount of fuel sent to each of these headers is determined by
specially designed control algorithms programmed specifically for each Superior
engine series. The control systema monitors on-engine devices, analyses fuel
quality, monitors fuel header pressures and temperatures and then calculates the
flow rate required to operate the engine efficiently and at specified emissions
levels.

The figure on the previous page depicts @ typical CleanBur III fuel control
system and consists of a Main and Pilot fuel header. The fuel system consists of
the following major components:
+ Main Pressure Regulator - Used to drop the supply gas to @ workable
pressure range.
«Fuel Shutoff Valve - Used to isolate the fuel gas from the engine when
not in operation.
«Pilot Fuel Header - Provides the small initial fuel flow to each cylinder
for proper fuel combustion to take place within the prechamber
© Main Fuel Header - Provides the fuel required by each cylinder for
normal operation of the engine.
Customer fuel gas is sent to a pressure regulator set for 45 to 50 PSIG, supplying
a safe fuel pressure to the engine fuel system. The fuel then flows through a
bubble-tight shutoff valve which is operated via solenoid by the CleanBurn Ill
control system, The regulated fuel is then supplied to both Main and Pilot fuel
circuits.

‘To measure the specific gravity of the fuel, the Fuel Metering Box contains a
Molecular Weight Sensor Tube (this is an optional item, it may not be used if
the BTU content does not vary dramatically) that utilizes sound waves passing
through a small quantity of gas from the fuel header. As the molecular
consistency of the gas changes, the time it takes for sound waves traveling the
length of the tube and back varies. From this information, the CleanBurn III
control system can determine the fuel quality or Low Heat Value of the fuel gas.

The other components of the Fuel Metering Box are used by the CleanBurn III

Air and Exhaust System
The figure on the previous page shows a schematic of the air and exhaust system
for the 2406G/2408G inline engines, Ambient air enters the turbocharger where
the radial flow compressor wheel compresses the air. During compression, the air
gets hot. At full load, the air is about 370° F, The air then flows through two air-
to-water heat exchangers (intercoolers) where the high-pressure air is cooled by
the intercooler water to 140° F. The air exits the two intercoolers into a common
plenum, Each cylinder head’s air inlet port is connected to this plenum through a
rubber bushing, The air then flows into the cylinder through each cylinder head's
two inlet valves.
The exhaust system functions as follows. The exhaust gas flows out of each
cylinder head and collects in a water-cooled constant-pressure exhaust manifold.
The hot, high-pressure exhaust gas flows into the turbocharger's radial flow
exhaust turbine. This high-pressure hot exhaust causes the turbine to spin, which
then spins the air compressor wheel and compresses the inlet ait. The amount of
air delivered to the engine is controlled by bypassing some of the hot, high-
pressure exhaust gas around the turbine. This bypass slows the turbine's rotation
and reduces the air manifold pressure, thus reducing the air flowing to the engine.
The exhaust bypass valve (wastegate) is a butterfly valve which is moved by an
electric-pneumatic actuator. This wastegate actuator controls the engine's exhaust
bypass valve. This wastegate actuator controls the engine’s air/fuel ratio. The
bypass exhaust gas and the low-pressure gas coming out of the turbine collect in
an exhaust pipe before the exhaust flows out of the stack
Air Flow Measurement
Engine combustion air flow is measured using what is commonly called a speed-
density routine. To understand how air flow is measured this way, visualize the
engine as a positive displacement air pump. A fixed volume of air flows through
the engine for every two revolutions of the crankshaft. The efficieney of this air
pump is defined by the engine's volumetric efficiency. Therefore, the volume
flow rate of air through the engine equals
Volumetric Efficiency x Displacement
2
Volume Flow Rate =
Cooper Energy Services Mount Vernon Training CenterAjax - Superior CleanBurn™ III
To convert the volume flow rate of air to mass flow rate,
Mass Air Flow = Volume Flow Rate x Air Desity
the volume flow rate is multiplied by the air density at intake manifold
conditions, The density of the air is calculated using the air manifold temperature
and pressure.

Control System Software
This section covers the CleanBurn III control system software. It describes how
the system controls the engine, start and stop sequencing, fuel quality
compensation, trips and alarms
Control Algorithms
The control algorithms described below are the fundamental workings of the
control system. The text and diagrams describe these workings but do not cover |
the many details too intricate to be described here.
‘The figure on the previous page shows a flow chart of the control system. The
basic control of the engine is broken down into speed governing, air/fuel ratio
control, ignition timing control, main fuel flow control and pilot fuel flow control.
These four main control functions are described below.
Speed Governing
The CleanBur III control system governs speed through a totally electronic,
integrated system. There is no separate mechanical governor.
Engine speed is sensed via a magnetic pickup positioned over a 180-tooth wheel
attached to the engine damper. This signal is processed through a frequeney-to-
voltage conditioner ( 5 k Hz = 5 Volts), fed as a voltage to the main. control board
where it is digitized (with an analog-to-digital converter), read into the control
computer program as a digital number and finally converted to engineering units

Intemal to the program, the RPM signal is fed into a control loop which compares
the actual speed signal from the engine to the speed setpoint. This control loop
then calls for an inerease or decrease in fuel flow rate, depending on whether the
actual engine speed is above or below the speed setpoint. This fuel flow signal is
then compared to the instantaneous maximum fuel flow limit, and the lower of
the two is sent to the fuel flow control loop, assuring the engine will not be over-
fueled
Air/Fuel Ratio (EAR) Control
Actual air flow delivered to the engine is calculated as described in a previous
section and again shown in the following figure. The main and pilot fuel flows are
measured as described in previous sections. The actual air/fuel ratio is calculated
by:
Air Flow
Air Fuel Ratio = —
Main Fuel Flow + Pilot Fuel Flow
Cooper Energy Services Mount Vernon Training Center
13Ajax - Superior CleanBurn™ III
The air/fuel ratio is converted to EAR (Excess Air Ratio) by:
Air/Fuel Ratio
EAR —————
Air / Fuel Ratio stoichiometric
The stoichiometric air/fuel ratio is defined as the mass ratio of air to fuel where
theoretically the exact amount of oxygen for the amount of fuel is provided to the
engine, When combustion occurs, all of the fuel is bumed and all of the air are
consumed, This is expressed as 100% theoretical air. The stoichiometric air/fuel
ratio is @ function of the fuel constituents, so it changes with fuel specific gravity
EAR <1 = Unbured Fuel in the Exhaust, mixture rich
EAR > 1 = Excess Oxygen in the Exhaust, mixture lean
Lean burn engines operate with an EAR of greater than 1, which means there is
excess air (or oxygen) in the exhaust.
‘The CleanBurn Ill system controls EAR (not air/fuel ratio) via intake manifold
pressure. The turbocharger exhaust wastegate is adjusted by the control system.
The measured EAR is compared with the EAR setpoint, and the wastegate
position is varied by the wastegate actuator until the actual EAR equals the
calculated EAR setpoint.
The EAR setpoint is mapped to RPM, load, jacket water temperature, air
manifold temperature and fuel quality, The maps are determined by the best
tradeoff between emissions and fuel consumption.
The EAR is also controlled by the fuel control valve, In a case where a step load
is applied, the fuel valve can supply fuel much faster than the turbocharger can
speed up and supply more air. In this case, the fuel valve is prevented from
‘opening too much and over-fueling the engine. By controlling the rate of fuel
increase and allowing the turbocharger to supply more air as it speeds up, the
controls ensure that the engine will always operate within safe EAR limits,

Ignition Timing Control
The Ignition timing is controlled by the ignition system, The ignition timing
setpoint is communicated from the main control unit to the ignition system via a
4-20 milliamp (mA) loop. The ignition timing is mapped to EAR, RPM, jacket
water temperature, air manifold temperature and fuel quality. These maps are
determined by the best tradeoff between emissions, fuel consumption, step load
response and engine safety.

Main Fuel Control
The main fuel flow rate is controlled via an electric-pneumatic pressure regulator.
The actual fuel flow is measured as described in a previous section. The |
measured fuel flow is compared to the fuel flow setpoint, and the fuel control
valve output pressure is varied until the actual fuel flow equals the fuel flow
setpoint. The fuel flow setpoint is determined by the lower of the two: either the
fuel flow called for by the governor control loop or the instantaneous maximum
fuel flow allowable before an over-fuel condition will exist. To summarize, the
main fuel control system controls engine speed (getting its setpoint from the
governor control loop) and keeps the EAR within safe limits

Switch Pack 2 - Communications Configuration Switches
Switch Pack 2 is primarily used to configure the communications baud rate of
Serial Port connector J9A. This connector is located below the FLEXNET BNC
connector on bottom right of the Main Board as shown in the following figure.

‘Two additional switches on Switch Pack 2 are used to determine the clock speed
of the processor and the other is used to tell the processor that FLEXNET is
available for use by a remote device
As noted in the previous figure, the active and default positions are determined by
the switches relative position to the word OFF marked on the switch pack. If the
switch is toward the word OFF, this is referred to as the ACTIVE, OPEN or
‘ OFF position, away from the word OFF, is referred to as the DEFAULT,
CLOSE or ON position. All these references may be used interchangeably
depending on the documentation being used
Cooper Energy Services Mount Vernon Training Center
nAjax - Superior CleanBurn™ MIT
Switch #1 of the switch pack should be left in the ACTIVE position for a ZE544-
050-002 Main Board to select the 16 MHz processor contained on that Main
Board version. With the older ZE544-050-001 Main Board, two types of
processors could have been installed. When a 10 MHz processor is installed, the
ACTIVE position selects the 16 MHz processor, the DEFAULT position selects
the 10 MHz processor. These selections are summarized in the following chart
Switch #1 Description

Active 16 MHz Processor ZE544-050-
Active 16 MHz Processor_ZE544-050-002
RS-232 Communications Configuration
Switch 2, 3 and 4 of Switch Pack 2 are used to configure the communications
baud rate of the RS-232 communications connector located on the right bottom
side of the Main Board under the FLEXNET BNC connector. The connector is
marked J9A and may be used for RS-232 communications to an RDU, PC or any
other device capable of serial communications. The following chart summarizes
the baud rate setting for switches 2 and 3
Switch #2 Switch#3 | __ Description
Active Active [1200 baud.

Switch #4 sets communications parity. The switch positions are summarized in
the following table.
Switch# 4] Description
Default No Parity |

19200 baud)
‘Communications can be set for any combination of baud rate and parity shown in
the above tables, Once the FT-50 has been configured for communications, the
device the FT-50 will communicate with must also be set for the same baud and
parity settings. In the case of the RDU, a similar set of switches set the baud rate.
‘A summary chart of the RDU baud rate configuration are shown below.

Switch #2 Switch#3 | Description
OPEN, OPEN 1200 baud
CLOSE CLOSE 2400 baud
OPEN. CLOSE 9600 baud
CLOSE __OPEN 19200 baud
Parity can not be configured in the RDU, by default it will always be ODD Parity.
Therefore, if an RDU us used, the FT-50 must have Switch 4 set for ODD Parity
and the baud rate is normally set for 19200 baud rate.
The connector below J9A is serial connector JOB. Like the port above it, it can
communicate to any device capable of serial communications. This port thought
has no hardware configuration switches and must be configured by the software
programmer through the operating system sofiware. Unless the CBOS operating
software is available to the user, baud rate and parity can not be set.
FLEXNET Communications Configuration
When a high speed FLEXNET communications Local Area Network (LAN) is
used, Switch 8 of Switch Pack 2 must be set in the ACTIVE position to tell the
processor that FLEXNET is available.
FLEXNET activity can be monitored by two LEDs on the Main Board and are
located on the bottom left side. LED CR20 flashes whenever data is passed
between the FT-50 and a remote device over the network,
LED CR21 should always on when the FT-5O has established communications on
the FLEXNET LAN with a remote device (FT-210). When CR21 flashes,
communications has been lost to the remote device and may indicate that the
device is powered down or cable problems exist between connector J9C on the
‘Main Board to the remote device.

FLEXNET Node ID
A remote device such as an FT-210 is capable of communicating to multiple FT-
50s over the FLEXNET LAN (Local Area Network). Since all FT-50s are
identical, the FT-210 must have a way of identifying one FT-50 from another.
This can be done by providing each FT-50 with a unique identification number,
configured by Switch Pack 4

Node ID
Configuration
Each of the eight switches of the Switch Pack represent a numeric value, A
combination of these switch values when added together make up a specific
identification number for this FT-50. The following chart describes the switches
and the values they represent in a given position. If the switch is in the UP, or
towards the OFF, position, that value will be include in the total.

Added together the value is 5, and makes this FT-SO on the network Node ID 5
For those users with multiple engines reporting to one FT-210, each unit's FT-50
must have a unique Node ID. None can have a Node ID of "0" (zero) and no two
can have the same Node ID.
Switch Pack 4 is located to the right of the upper group of diagnostic LEDs and
above IC24. The switch configuration number entered is determined by the
software programmer. When replacing an F-50 Main Board, configure the Node
ID the same as the Main Board being removed,
Molecular Weight Sensor Activation
‘Switch Pack 3 is located below Switch Pack 2. Switch 8 of this switch pack is
used to activate the Molecular Weight Sensor. If the sensor is not in use leave the
switch in the DEFAULT position. If the sensor is used, place the switch in the
ACTIVE position. The following chart summarizes the setting of this switch.

Diagnostic LEDs
Two groups of eight LEDs visible through the cover of the FT-50 are used to
determine if a controller is operating normally, or are used to diagnose a problem
when the controller fails,
The upper group of eight LEDs are referred to as the Communications LEDs and
are used to determine; normal operation, communication activity to FT-200
devices, communications to other FT-50s and problem diagnostics,
‘The lower group of eight LEDs are the Controller LEDs and display the
‘operation of the main controller. The LEDs indicate when a program is executing
properly and if the system has been properly configured
‘The following figure shows all sixteen LEDs and in the following sections we
will detail how the LEDs function under normal operation and how they are used
for problem diagnostics.

normally, Should the LED stop flashing, a problem exists within the controller
and further diagnostics will be required
Other LEDs in the Communications LED group flash only to indicate controller
activity to other devices, Should the system communicate with an FT-210, an FT-
100 or another FT-50, they will flash when communications takes place between
the FT-S0 and the remote processor.
‘Three LEDs included in the Controller LED group indicate control program
activity. The Time Class LED flashes whenever Time Class 1 is executed. The
Time Class 2 LED flashes whenever Time Class 2 is executed, And, the Time
Class 3 LED flashes whenever no activity is taking place in either Time Class 1 or
2, The flashing rate of these LEDs can vary from one controller to another. The
rate is determined by the size of the program and the execution time of each Time
Class.
In addition to the flashing LEDs in the Controller LED group, LED CR19 must
always stay on to indicate there are no hardware configuration errors in the
system, The hardware configuration verifies that the /O cards specified in the
operating program are properly configured and addressed during normal
processor operation,
The above description describes a light pattern for normal FT-50 operation. In
addition, many of the LEDs have a dual function. These functions will be
described in the following sections.
gnostic LEDs
The Controller Diagnostic LEDs provide status information on a normally
operating FT-50 and provide feedback to a technician when the FT-50 is not
operating properly.
The controller is the processor that performs all the tasks defined by the engine
control program. It determines how the engine will start, stop and operate under
various ambient conditions. In the program, certain tasks have a higher priority
than others. For example, it is much more important to make the proper
calculations for a fuel valve opening than it is to update the RDU display
information for an operator. Therefore, these functions or tasks, can be placed in
any of three possible Time Classes. Time Class 1 has the highest execution
priority (50 ms) and may well perform the fuel valve opening calculations, Time
Class 2 has the next highest priority (100 ms) where Time Class 3 is a background
task that has no time base and is used to update the RDU display screen values.
Cooper Energy Services Mount Vernon Training Center
coyAjax - Superior CleanBurn™ IT
When the processor first starts, all tasks in Time Class 1 are executed first,
followed by all the tasks in Time Class 2, When completed, the processor moves
to Time Class 3 and performs those tasks.
‘With the times specified above, the processor will now re-execute all tasks in
Time Class 1 every 50 ms, and all tasks in Time Class 2 every 100 ms. W hen not
executing tasks in either of these time classes, the processor executes the tasks in
Time Class 3.

Communications Diagnostic LEDs
The LED pattern for the operation of the Communications Processor has more
options or conditions that it monitors when compare to the Controller LEDs.
These LEDs are the top group of 8 LEDs depicted in the following figure. In
addition to showing normal operating activity, some of the LEDs are an aid in
determining why an FT-50 is not functioning. The first five LEDs in this section
make up what is termed the LED Shutdown Log. Each LED is associated witha
numeric value, which when added together refers to an error message listing. This
function will be described in the following section,

‘The most important LED in this group is CR4, the top left LED, which is called
the Heartbeat of the communications processor. Under normal operation, this
LED will always flash once every 250 ms, If a fault condition occurs in the
system this LED will no longer flash. If the FT-50 has faulted, this LED may or
may not be on since it is also an LED associated with the LED Shutdown Log.

It should be noted again, the patter of flashing lights of the Communications
Diagnostics LEDs during normal operation are dependent on the type of devices
the FT-S0 communicates with and may change from one customer to another.
Communications Processor LED Shutdown Log
Should the FT-50 not function, a shutdown log has been built into the FT-50
Communications Processor to aid the user in determining a possible cause. The
shutdown log uses CR4 through CR8 and is shown in the following figure.

be, "Restart the FT-50 from the Download Menu of CBOS100 or press the Reset
button on the Main Board.”
Many of the faults listed below do not have a field repairable solution, but the
information gained by the LED Shutdown Log provides important information
‘when notifying a service representative in your area. Those solutions that mention
the use of CBOS are referring to the Cooper Bessemer Operating Software. In
Some instances this operating software may not be available to every customer,
especially ifyour engine operating software is programmed into an EPROM in
which case, some of the listed faults may never appear.

One of the three Time Classes exceeded the five second time
limit for execution. This is normally caused by Time Class 3
Solution - Time Classes 1 and 2 can be slowed down, thus giving
Time Class 3 more time to execute.
Time Class 1 and 2 Exceeded
Time Classes | and/or 2 have exceeded their programmed time
limit for execution, This is normally caused by overloading the
Time Classes.
Solution - Increase the length of the time period for that Time
Class or move some of the tasks to another Time Class.
