HI THERE.
THIS ERROR: '616 AL EIL ERROR', WAS DISPLAYED BY THE MTU SMART CONNECT COMMUNICATIONS MODULE OF AN MTU DIESEL ENGINE.
THE EIL ACRONISM MEANS: 'ELECTRONIC/ENGINE IDENTIFICATION LABEL' AND, IN THIS CASE, IT IS SHOWING UP IN THE DISPLAY BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL (OR FROM FACTORY) ECU...
Thanks FreddyNurk for this and your previous replies.
You know, I am having the opportunity from my department to try to resolve present and future issues in the MTU diesel engines we have in operation with expired guarantee.
I did not know the ECU was interlocked to the engine by the EIL...
Thanks redlinej for your reply. Let me tell you that I already got the datasheet of the MTU Smart Connect that controls the communications between the ECU and the PLC (DGC-2020), and read the pages (16,17) about the EIL. Also I already found it in the crankcase of the engine.
What I would like...
Thanks again MikeL for your very useful reply. I was waiting for it.
I would like to mention that as a professional, I worked more than 15 yeas in the information technology (commercial and administrative information systems) as a programmer, database administrator, and so on. About four years...
Hi everybody,
I am trying to start an MTU diesel engine with another ECU (Electronic Control Unit) from a similar engine, and I am receiving this error code: 616 ALARM EIL ERROR. I found this is an Engine Identification label error. I want to bypass or fix this error and start the engine with...
I have the schematic diagram of the control panel, the fuse is directly connected between the 24 DC volts (two 12 volts bateries connected in series) and the input to the ECU.
Now I am trying to start the engine with another ECU from a similar engine, and I am receiving this error code: 616...
Yes MikeL, you are right. making a good failure analysis trying to find the root cause, with missing elements, is hard work. Thanks for the guideline in regards to welding on any units with electronic controls.
In your ample and instructional reply, there are two paragraphs dense of knowledge...
ScottyUK, MikeL, FreddyNurk, thanks a lot for your instructional words. I'm learning from all of you guys. For me, It's clear now that I hit the right place and found the smart and right people I was looking for. I'm glad about it. Let's go on:
1)The E-stop is a normally closed type. Yes, this...
Thanks for the quick replys. More information about these:
1) I assume it is properly designed and wired (from the MTU factory) but the event log of the ECU shows 70 occurrencies of emergency stops in 2 years. (too many?)
2) Some modifications indoors and outdoors of the metal structure of the...
the short circuit heppened inside en Electronic control unit of an MTU Diesel engine.
I would like to know if any or all of these events could have contribuited to the short:
Voltage transients due to emergency stops
doing soldering work inside the Power Control Room
Thanks for any inputs
I would like to ask about which could be the probable causes of a short circuit inside the Electronic Controller Unit of a MTU Diesel GENSET. A 20 Amp. fuse was protecting the ECU and it was Blown.
Any inputs are welcome.
