Engine Governing
SMCS - 1901

Diagram of the governing system
The Electronic Control Module (ECM) continuously strives to achieve the engine speed that is desired for the
operating condition.
The desired engine speed is determined by these factors:
Desired Speed Input - A signal of either 0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA can provide this input. The "Desired Speed
Input Configuration" determines the input that is used by the ECM. This input can be provided by a
potentiometer.
Programmable Parameters - The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) is used to program these
parameters that affect the desired engine speed: "Low Idle Speed", "Minimum High Idle Speed" and "Maximum
High Idle Speed". The programmable "Engine Accel. Rate" determines the rate of acceleration of the desired
speed and rate of deceleration of the desired speed. The "Governor Type Setting" parameter can be set to
"Droop" or to "Isochronous". Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control System
Parameters" for additional information on these parameters.

Idle/Rated Switch - The idle/rated switch is optional. If the idle/rated switch is used, the engine speed can also
be affected by the engine oil pressure:
If the idle/rated switch is in the idle position, the ECM will always select the low idle speed.
If the engine oil pressure is less than the setpoint for the low pressure warning, the ECM will always select
the low idle speed.
If the engine oil pressure is greater than the setpoint for the low pressure warning and the idle/rated switch
is in the rated position, the ECM will select the rated speed.
The actual engine speed is detected via a signal from the engine speed/timing sensor. The ECM compares the
actual engine speed to the desired engine speed. The ECM functions as an electronic governor in order to
develop a throttle command.
The electronic governor uses gains in order to provide stable operation. Two sets of gains are available. The
ECM uses the value of the "Grid Status" parameter in order to determine the set of gains that is used. If the "Grid
Status" is OFF, the ECM uses the gains for the primary governor. If the "Grid Status" is ON, the ECM uses the
gains for the auxiliary governor.
The governor's throttle command is a percent of the maximum position of the throttle. The value of the throttle
command can be viewed on Cat ET. The throttle command is sent to the throttle actuator. The throttle actuator is
mechanically connected to the throttle body. There is no feedback for the throttle position.
