E²CON-TE ENGINE CONTROLLER

Product catalog summary

Overview
The E²CON-TE Engine Controller is a retrofit system designed to modernize MWM gas engines using openECS technology. It offers a plug-and-run solution for easy installation and long-term adaptability, maintaining existing generator-set cabling unless naturally degraded.

Key Features

Parameter Conversion: Ensures risk-free updates with a parameter converter, maintaining control functions like start/stop and emissions control.
Smart Communication: Ethernet-based connections replace serial interfaces, allowing simultaneous operation with E²PILOT and E²SERVICE tools.
Extended Accessibility: Allows for system adaptation and expansion, optimizing familiar TEM-Evo control functions.
Optimized Operation: Retains familiar operating concepts with enhanced interfaces for ease of use.
Flexibility Options: Prepared for future network standards and flexible plant operations.

New Features and Functions

Simple Commissioning: TEM-Evo-trained technicians can easily exchange and adapt the system.
Comprehensive Supply: Includes circuit diagrams, installation instructions, and parameter descriptions.
Web Interface: Direct insight into the controller from any web-capable client.
VHPready: Facilitates integration into virtual power plants.
Advanced Control Functions: Includes closed-loop control, faster engine run-up, and misfire detection.

Technical Specifications

Engine Compatibility: Suitable for MWM gas engines (TBG 616, 620, 632, TCG 2016, 2020, 2032) with outputs from 500 to 4500 kW.
Plant Types: Applicable to containerized systems, CHP plants, and gen-sets.
Controller Components: Utilizes Bachmann CPU, AVAT VPN-Router, and E²CORE for robust control and remote access.

Service and Support

E²SERVICE Tool: Provides visualization, remote access, and task-oriented views for service engineers.
Support Features: Includes parameterization, manual/automatic mode switching, and signal testing.

Conclusion
The E²CON-TE Engine Controller offers a state-of-the-art retrofit solution for MWM engines, combining familiar technology with modern enhancements for improved performance and flexibility. It is designed to meet current needs while anticipating future challenges in engine management.

PLUG & RUN: RISK-FREE CONVERSION, SIMPLE AND FAST WITH LONG-TERM ADAPTABILITY BUILT-IN New plant concepts and operating modes demand a flexible engine control system that on the one hand can manage operation at the engine’s mechanical limits and on the other hand enables an engine to be quickly and simply adapted to new requirements. PLUG & RUN RETROFIT Fast and simple system update by means of a pre-configured control cabinet for direct installation on site. Generator-set cabling can be retained and only renewed when "natural" degradation dictates. The risk-free update is achieved via a unique...
