AUTOMATION SYSTEM Engine modes

General
The main control function in WECS controls and activates the engine modes. The engine mode will be changed according to a request only, if the request has a higher priority than the active engine mode.

AUTOMATION SYSTEM Engine control processes during operation

General
WECS 8000 performs a number of continuous control processes on the engine, when the engine is in run mode. Below, a brief description of each of these processes.

Processes can be divided into categories Gas feed system Main gas injection Air/fuel ratio Ignition control Engine speed- and load control Exhaust gas temperature control

Gas feed system
The gas supplied to the engine passes at first an external gas regulating unit (GRU). The unit consist of: Filter Pressure regulating valves Safety (shut-off) valves Ventilation valves

AUTOMATION SYSTEM Engine control processes during operation

Main gas injection
The amount of main gas admitted to each cylinder is controlled by the main gas solenoid valves which are connected to the CCM. The duration is controlled by the load/speed PID-controller so that speed and/or load always match their references.

Air/Fuel ratio control
The air pressure in the receiver is controlled by a waste gate valve. For this pressure control a continuous receiver air pressure, alternatively an average exhaust gas temperature measurement is carried out and calculated.

AUTOMATION SYSTEM Engine control processes during operation

Ignition control
The engine ignition system consists of two ignition coil drivers (WCD-10), one for each bank. The WCD-10s controls cylinderwise ignition firing each cylinder. The ignition timing and dwell time duration changes with engine load.

AUTOMATION SYSTEM Engine control processes during operation

High voltage circuit
The ignition is of inductive discharge type and the driver circuitry offers ramp-and-fire operation. This minimizes power losses in the ignition driver.

AUTOMATION SYSTEM Engine control processes during operation

Exhaust gas temperature control
The main control module compares each cylinders exhaust gas temperature with the average exhaust gas temperature of the entire engine and adjusts the duration of the individual gas valves with an offset in order to minimise the deviation. Exhaust gas temperature control is used on low loads. System components 01 Main gas admission valve 02 Knock sensor 03 Exhaust gas temperature sensor 04 Cylinder liner temperature sensor

Knock margin control
The main control module compares each cylinders knock margin values and adjusts the duration of the individual gas valves with an offset in order to keep the correct margin. Knock margin control is used on high loads.
