    Introduction
    The Governor Gain Parameters are for the 3500B engines that are listed above. The
    procedure is for all 3500B engines with Version D electronics.

    The governor gain parameters are set at the factory. The factory default setting is
    recommended for most applications. The default settings should allow the engine to
    respond quickly to transient load changes. The default settings should allow the
    engine to remain stable during all operating conditions. If the factory default
    setting does not provide satisfactory performance, the governor gain parameters can
    be adjusted.

    The parameters in table 1 can be adjusted.

    Table 1

    Parameter Valid Range

    Governor Gain Factor 0 - 14999

    Governor Minimum Stability Factor 0 - 14999

    Governor Maximum Stability Factor 0 - 999

    Note: No engineering units are associated with the numbers in table 1.

    Note: The range of the programmable setting is wide for flexibility. Do not expect
    to use the whole range. If the programmable setting is greater than the valid

    range, the system will revert to the factory default value.

    Do not perform any procedure in the Special Instruction until you read this
    information and you understand this information.

    Gain Explanations
    Governor Gain Factor

    The Governor Gain Factor is multiplied by the engine speed error. This value is
    derived by calculating the difference between the desired speed and the actual
    speed.

    · If the Governor Gain Factor value is too large, the engine speed can
    overshoot the desired speed.

    · If the Governor Gain Factor value is too small, the engine will
    accelerate slowly.

    Governor Minimum/Maximum Stability Factor

    The Governor Minimum Stability Factor functions in order to eliminate steady state
    speed error. The Governor Maximum Stability Factor functions in order to eliminate
    steady state speed error. The Governor Minimum Stability Factor is used by the ECM
    when the steady state speed error is less than 20 rpm. The Governor Maximum
    Stability Factor is used by the ECM when the steady state speed error is increasing
    and the engine speed error is greater than 20 rpm.

    · If the Governor Minimum Stability Factor or the Governor Maximum


    Stability Factor is set too high, the ECM will provide additional fuel. The
    additional fuel will cause the engine speed to overshoot. The additional fuel
    will also cause the engine speed to oscillate.

    · If the Governor Minimum Stability Factor or the Governor Maximum


    Stability Factor is set too low, the engine will not achieve a steady state
    operation quickly.

    Tuning Procedure
    1. Turn the ECS to the COOLDOWN/STOP position. Connect the electronic technician.
    Ensure that engine overspeed protection is enabled before beginning the adjustment
    procedure. Adjusting Governor Gain Parameters without engine overspeed protection
    can result in serious engine damage. Ensure that engine overspeed protection is ON.
    Engine overspeed is configured on the setup screen of Service Monitoring System in

    file://C:\SIS\TMP\sis51prt.html 2005-4-24

    electronic technician.

    Personal injury or death can result from engine


    overspeed.

    If the engine overspeeds, it can cause injury or parts


    damage. The engine should be equipped with a separate
    shutdown device, to protect against engine overspeed.
    Do not use for emergency shutdown.

    2. Start the engine. Observe the control panel to ensure that the engine has
    reached the rated speed. The control panel will serve as the reference point for
    engine speed during this procedure.

    3. Go to the configuration parameters screen in ET.

    Note: A factory password is required for adjustment of the governor gain


    parameters. Once the password is entered, the values for the governor gain
    parameters can be adjusted. If a parameter value that is not a governor gain
    parameter is altered, a new password will be required. If the configuration
    parameters screen is stopped during the adjustment of a governor gain parameter, a
    new factory password will be required.

    Note: Any value may be returned to the factory default setting by typing a number
    that is greater than the valid range. For example, typing 30,000 will reset a value
    to the factory default.

    4. Set up a field performance test. For example, the engine has poor response
    during specific load changes.

    5. Perform the desired load change from step 4. Observe the response of the engine
    by viewing the engine speed on the control panel. Observe the engine response by
    looking at the frequency meter or by listening to the response of the engine.

    6. Determine the setting to adjust. Refer to "Gain Explanations" and "Governor


    Minimum/Maximum Stability Factor".

    Note: Usually, the Governor Gain Factor should be somewhat lower than the Governor
    Minimum Stability Factor for optimum performance. The Governor Maximum Stability
    Factor is typically a smaller value than the Governor Minimum Stability Factor and
    Governor Gain Factor.

    7. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until a desired engine response can be met. Use large
    adjustments (10% of original gain) initially for a coarse adjustment to engine
    response. Use smaller adjustments (1% of total gain) as the engine response is
    closer to the desired response.
