Electrical Control Circuits Explained
One of the main difference between the electrical control circuit for
the 720 crawler drilling rigs and that for all previous manufactured IR
crawler drilling rigs is the use of the Tie II electronic engine. Engine
throttle control and fuel controls are done through the engine ECM
(Electronic Control Module) and associated control system. Engine
operational parameters are monitored through digital EMS gauge that
is linked to the engine ECM through CAT-link bus line. More engine
operation information can be obtained through using the gauge than
all previously used systems. No external gauges, sensors, fuel
solenoid and mechanical throttle control devices are needed for the
electronic engine and this is in addition to better fuel efficiency and
cleaner emission. No engine oil pressure bypass circuit needed for
starting the engine because it is done through the engine ECM.

The engine ECM has powerful diagnostic capabilities that can adjust
operation parameters such as engine speed or even shut down the
engine. Each time the power is turned on, the ECM will conduct a
through check of engine parameters and prevent the engine from
starting if there are any fatal faults in the system. This is in addition
to optimizing engine performance through its sophisticated sensing
and control systems. The engine ECM monitors all engine
operational parameters and sends them through Caterpillar’s
proprietary Catlink bus line. Caterpillar EMS gauges and two LED
lamps are used on 720 rigs for displaying engine operational
parameters and diagnostic information. The EMS gauge will obtain
engine information through the Catlink bus and send it to the quad
gauge to display the engine operation information. One LED lamp is
directly connected to the engine ECM to display diagnostic
information (flash code). Another LED lamp is connected to the EMS
to display the warning signal if there is any fault in the engine. An
SPDT toggle switch is used for scrolling the engine information
displayed on the EMS screen. A pressure transducer is also
connected to the engine ECM to monitor hydraulic return manifold
pressure. The pressure value can be viewed from the EMS screen.

The engine ECM sets engine high and low RPM’s by using
Caterpillar’s ET program. For the Caterpillar C10 engine used in the
ECM720 rigs, the ECM is set to use PTO ramp control. Pin #29 on
the ECM 40-pin connector has to be grounded to enable the PTO
control to operate. Grounding pin #30 will ramp up the engine to a
preset high idle speed and grounding pin #39 will ramp down the
engine to a preset low idle speed. A relay, toggle switch and two
pressure switches are used in the throttle control system. Here is how
the system works;

The difference between the previous engine shut down system and
the current electronic engine is the use of an ECM that shuts down
the engine while the non-electronic engines use the fuel solenoid to
cut off the fuel supply to shut down the engine. Grounding pin #27 on
the engine ECM will shut down the engine, for the engine to run, pin
#27 must be isolated from ground. As with previous units, the
shutdown system consists of the hydraulic fluid temperature switch,
compressor high temperature shutdown, separator reservoir
shutdown but does not include an engine oil pressure shutdown
switch. These switches are all normally closed. The engine ECM
monitors the engine oil pressure directly. The emergency stop rope
switch on the drill guide is also in series with the shutdown switches.
In addition to the shutdown circuits, there are three emergency stop
switches. They are two e-stops in the engine enclosure and one e-
stop in the operator’s cab. The e-stop switches are normally open.

If any of the e-stop switches, except for the rope switch on the drill
guide, are closed #27 on the ECM is grounded and the engine stops.
If any of the NO shutdown switches open, the shutdown relay
contacts open connecting #27 on the ECM to ground and the engine
shuts down.

Flushing air and dust collector control for ECM720 is done through a
two axis joystick and 5 diodes. When switched to collaring air/dust
collector off, the power is supplied only to low blow solenoid while
diodes D1 and D3 block current to the two solenoids. When switched
to full air/dust collector on, current will be supplied to all solenoids
through D1, D2 and D3. When switched to full air/dust collector off,
current is supplied directly to high blow and low blow solenoids.
Diodes D3 and D4 is blocking the current to the dust collector
solenoid. When switched to collaring air/dust collector on, current will
be supplied to the low blow solenoid and the dust collector through
D4 and D5. D3 blocks the current to the high blow solenoid.

Fast feed stop control is used for preventing the drifter mounting plate
hitting top of the drill guide at fast speed and causing damage. This is
done through using a proximity sensor and a relay. The fast feed
solenoid is supplied power through the fast feed push button and the
normally closed contact of the feed stop relay. When drifter travels
up to the position of the proximity sensor, the proximity sensor will
closes its contact and energizes the fast feed stop relay. The contacts
in the relay will then open and the current to the fast feed solenoid will
be interrupted.

The PAJ (Stratasense II) system can be disabled by the drill operator
if so desired. A manual/automatic drill switch is located on the left
hand side of the operator’s seat. If the switch is placed in the manual
position, the solenoid operated PAJ on/off valve is energized. When
this valve is energized, it closes. This blocks pilot pressure that is
used to activate the automatic drilling functions on the PAJ manifold.
When in the automatic mode pilot pressure passes through the PAJ
on/off valve to the PAJ manifold and the automatic drilling functions
are active. The electrical circuit is shown on the following page as
schematic #1.
The 4th schematic shows the circuit when in the rod changer mode.
At this time the rod changer pressure on the mode valve is closed.
This directs current to the PAJ on/off valve closing it and also
supplies current to the rotation buttons. In rod changing mode, the
pressure reducing valve discussed in the previous paragraph is not in
the circuit. This means that during rod changing full rotation is
available using the buttons on the feed joystick.
