The EMCP 3 GSC supports the saving and uploading of the EMCP 3 GSC setpoints through a setpoint configuration file. This file, called the ECM Replacement File, is accessible via the ECM Replacement tool of the Caterpillar® Service Tool software. The file contains information specific to the EMCP 3 GSC, and includes the setpoint values that are specific to a given EMCP 3 GSC module. The user has the option of saving the data to an ECM Replacement File from an EMCP 3 GSC module or uploading the data from the ECM Replacement File to another EMCP 3 GSC module. The user also has the option of uploading general configuration data to several EMCP 3 GSC modules by means of a similar tool called Fleet Configuration. Both of these options are accomplished through the Caterpillar® Service Tool software.
NOTE: This Chapter only addresses setpoints residing in the EMCP 3 GSC. To save and restore setpoints for other (optional) modules on the EMCP 3 J1939 data links, a similar procedure must be followed for each individual module. For more information refer to Chapter 17, Optional Modules.
12.1 SAVING EMCP 3 CONFIGURATION DATA
To save an EMCP 3 GSC configuration use the Caterpillar® Service Tool.
The EMCP 3 GSC configuration should be saved upon initial access or after the initial configuration. This will be required for future accessibility when exchanging or replacing the EMCP 3 GSC module.
After connecting to the EMCP 3 GSC, navigate to the Menu Service > COPY CONFIGURATION. There are two options: (See FIGURE 42).
• Fleet Configuration • ECM Replacement
FIGURE 42:CATERPILLAR®SERVICE TOOL EMCP3GSCSUMMARY SCREEN
FLEET CONFIGURATION OPTION
Select the FLEET CONFIGURATION option when there is a need to save and copy GENERAL DATA
to several ECMs (non-module-specific).
The FLEET CONFIGURATION tool works very similar to the ECM Replacement tool, with the exception of module-specific data such as ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER.
12 SAVING and Restoring Setpoints ECM REPLACEMENT OPTION
To save EMCP 3 GSC configuration data to an ECM Replacement file: Select from the Service Tool menu:
SERVICE >
COPY CONFIGURATION >
ECMREPLACEMENT
If there are no previously saved field replacement files, the following message is displayed: No Data Is Available. Load From ECM Now.
Select which ECM’s configuration data is to be viewed and/or saved for future use. This configuration data to be saved in the ECM Replacement file is shown in FIGURE 43.
NOTE: The option of deselecting certain setpoints can be chosen at this screen.
After any selection changes are completed, the user must choose SAVETO FILE. The ECM replacement file is now saved for future access. Make sure to note what directory and folder the file is stored at.
NOTE: The configuration data must be saved to a file before disconnecting from the service tool or the data WILL BE LOST and must be re-loaded from the source
module again.
12.2 LOADING EMCP 3 CONFIGURATION DATA
The loading of EMCP 3 GSC configuration data is very similar between ECMREPLACEMENT and
FLEET CONFIGURATION. For illustration purposes, the ECM REPLACEMENT option will be
described here.
CONFIGURATION DATA
To load EMCP 3 GSC configuration data from an ECM Replacement file, the user must select from the Service Tool menu:
Service >
Copy Configuration > ECM Replacement
If there exists a previously saved ECM Replacement file, the tool will allow the user to select between them, as shown in FIGURE 44. If there are no previously saved ECM Replacement files, the user must first load configuration data from an EMCP 3 GSC module. For instructions on loading configuration data from an EMCP 3 GSC module, see Chapter 12.1, SAVING EMCP 3 CONFIGURATION DATA.
12 SAVING and Restoring Setpoints
FIGURE 44:CATERPILLAR®SERVICE TOOL FIELD REPLACEMENT FILE SELECTION
NOTE: ECM Replacement files are stored in the ECM Replacement folder, while Fleet Configuration files are stored in the Fleet Configuration folder.
The list of setpoints and values are shown after opening an ECM Replacement file.
DESELECTING SETPOINTS
The user has the option of deselecting certain setpoints, if the user wants to keep the values currently configured into the connected EMCP 3 GSC module. The user may upload the selected setpoints into the new EMCP 3 GSC by pressing the PROGRAM ECM button. The user is then prompted with the ECM selector box. The EMCP 3 GSC should be highlighted since it is being programmed. FIGURE 45 below displays the programming of an EMCP 3 GSC with the setpoint values from an ECM Replacement file.
FIGURE 45:CATERPILLAR®SERVICE TOOL
When the field replacement file has been successfully programmed to the new EMCP 3 GSC, a
PROGRAMMING COMPLETE box will display. Press OK.
The above steps, for uploading saved configuration data, will need to be repeated for each EMCP 3 GSC module needing same or similar setpoint configurations.
NOTE: When programming EVENT RESPONSE CONFIGURATION setpoints, the control must be in STOP mode. If the control is not in STOP, there will be a
message after the programming is complete. The message will show that none of the Event Response Configuration setpoints were changed.
