The Features of ADEM II ECMs


The primary Engine Control Module (ECM) made for Caterpillar diesel engines, the Advanced Diesel Engine Management II (ADEM II) controller is designed to regulate and optimize the performance of engines that are equipped with Electronic Unit Injector (EUI) – particularly 3500B ADEM engine systems that are comprised of an ADEM ECM, actuators, sensors, and control software. 


The primary advantage of ADEM II ECM-equipped EUI Caterpillar diesel engines is that, compared to Mechanical Unit Injector (MUI) engines, you get better control over particulate emissions (both transient and steady state), and optimal engine performance.

Over the course of this article, we’ll discuss the features that make ADEM II controllers such highly demanded ECMs in the industrial and construction industry.

Durability and Reliability

Firstly, ADEM II is an extremely durable controller that is designed to survive and perform in the harshest conditions. It has a die-cast aluminum, environmentally sealed housing that protects electrical components from dirt contamination and moisture. It’s also guaranteed to perform and maintain accuracy in temperatures ranging from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius.

Furthermore, the ADEM II ECM’s internal circuitry is designed to be immune to electrical noise of up to 100 volts/meter. It can also withstand shorts to –battery and +battery. Moreover, all ADEM II controllers undergo rigorous vibration testing to ensure product durability and reliability.

Simple Servicing

All ADEM II systems are compatible with the Caterpillar ET service tool software. The software does the following things:

· Performs diagnostic tests and calibrations

· Retrieves and displays the recorded diagnostic codes documenting irregularities in the system’s operation.

· Retrieves recorded and active diagnostic codes

· Supports the flash programming of new firmware into the system

· Displays measured parameters

Advanced Features

The ADEM II ECM is equipped with a multitude of advanced features, including:

· Isochronous control

· Adjustable monitoring of critical engine parameters

· Idle speed setting

· Speed acceleration ramp rate programmability

· Adjustable cool down duration

· Fuel injection limiting and timing adjustability

· Data link interfaces

Optional Features

· Air shutoff adjustability

· Started motor control

· Remote control and monitoring capability

· Incorporated pre-lube control system

Understanding Your Caterpillar ECM

Image
A Caterpillar engine control module (ECM) is an onboard computer that acts as the brain of your equipment or vehicle’s engine. It performs split-second monitoring and provides data output that enables both vehicle functionality and safety features.  The primary function of a CAT ECM is to ensure that your CAT equipment or truck operates at optimal efficiency and performance. It collects information regarding how each engine component is performing using a series of sensors in the engine bay, and adjusts and regulates their performance through actuators and other output units. The engine settings that are controlled and regulated by the ECM include: ·   The air-to-fuel ratio ·   The amount of fuel that’s injected into the cylinder ·   Variable intake control ·   Exhaust gas recirculation CAT ECMs come in a multitude of shapes and sizes. The majority of applications are referenced by the connectors’ pin configuration. Determining the number of pins can hel

Can You Fix an ECM Yourself?

Image
Over time, every vehicle experiences certain issues. Lack of maintenance or excessive wear and tear can lead to engine issues and, in some cases,  cause the vehicle's ECM to malfunction. The ECM (Engine Control Module)  is one of the most important components in modern vehicles. Be it your car, truck, or an industrial machine, the ECM is the vehicle's brain, controlling all the necessary functions, like fuel injection, ignition sparks, air-to-fuel ratio,  etc. Many people want to know if they can fix their malfunctioning ECMs at home instead of hiring an ECM repair service. Let's take a look at it in this article. Diagnosing the Problem While it's not recommended that you try and fix your ECM at home, you can diagnose the problem. There are certain ways in which you can know what's wrong with your ECM. Visual Evaluation Visually checking the ECM pins to ensure they're all intact and aligned is one of the most basic and non-technical ways to find any problems wit
