ABSTRACT:
An integrated electronic starting control system module for diesel engines which provides unique packaging with integration of a multiplicity of features previously unavailable or available only in separate control modules. Integrated into one modular device are improved glow plug and starting system control, monitoring, protection, and diagnostic features. These features for rendering improved glow plug control and diagnostics include: Microprocessor control, adaptive control algorithms, engine analog temperature sensing for glow plug operational compensation, over temperature shut down protection, system glow plug voltage sensing for glow plug operational compensation, timers for control of glow plug operation and duty cycles, sensing of glow plug current for protective shutdown, control relays and/or solid state switches for control of glow plug current(s), manual override control, load dump voltage spike avoidance circuitry based upon alternator output speed, system monitoring with diagnostics communication capability.
