ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine (10) includes an engine control unit (14). The engine control unit (14) provides control logic and signals to operate the internal combustion engine (10). The engine control unit (14) receives data from sensors (28) and outputs commands through command lines (30). The engine control unit (14) also communicates to a remote computer to receive changes in parameters or output requirements. A remote communicator (32) facilitates the communication between the engine control unit (14) and the remote computer. The remote communicator (32) also allows functions of the engine control unit (14) to be enabled or disabled. If functions are enabled, the remote computer may also provide initial parameters of operation allowing the engine control unit (14) to properly control the internal combustion engine (10).
