12 Parameter Settings for PHLOX II Control Unit
The software for the HEINZMANN digital controllers is designed so that parameterising can
be done either by the engine manufacturer or by the final customer, if the necessary instru-
ments (communications tool) are available. Only a few basic parameters are pre-set in the
HEINZMANN factory. This means that the digital governor usually gets its defining of data
from a source outside HEINZMANN.
An exception is made for control units that are delivered in greater numbers. If HEINZ-
MANN has been provided in advance with defining data, this can be transferred to the units in
the factory.
Initial programming must always be conducted by experienced personnel and must be
checked before the engine is first commissioned the.
How parameters are adjusted and their meaning is explained in detail in the manual "Basic
information 2000".
The following sections describe the possibilities of parameterising the control unit:
12.1 Parameterisation with the Hand Held Programmer 3
All parameterisation can be done using the hand-held programmer ‘Programmer 3’. This
handy device is particularly suited to development and series calibration as well as to
servicing. This unit does not require external power supply.
12.2 Parameterisation with the PC / Laptop
Parameterisation can also be carried out using a PC and the convenient HEINZMANN
communication software DcDesk 2000. Compared to the hand held programmer, it offers
the great advantage of having various curves graphically represented on the screen and, at
the same time at the same time being able to introduce changes as well as having time dia-
grams displayed without an oscilloscope when commissioning the control unit on the en-
gine. Furthermore, the PC offers a better overview as the PC programme has a menu struc-
ture and allows having several parameters displayed simultaneously.
Additionally, the PC programme facilitates saving and downloading of operational data to
and from data media. Furthermore the following useful application is available:
Once parameterisation has been completed for a specific engine type and its application,
the data set can be saved to disk. The data sets can be downloaded and re-used with the
new control units for future applications of similar type.
