EEG7000 Basic Wiring
6
Pin 3 - Magnetic Speed Pick-up
A magnetic speed sensor detects when ring gear teeth pass the tip of the magnetic speed sensor. The output signal is an AC sine wave
whose frequency is converted to crankshaft revolutions per minute (rpm). The following are required:
•
A magnetic pickup must be installed in the engine bell housing, ring gear case, or fabricated bracket.
•
All wires must be twisted and/or shielded for their entire length (14 turns per foot).
•
Ground shield to case. Do not tie case to ground.
•
The magnetic speed sensor voltage should be at least 1 V RMS while cranking. During operation, 5 to10 V RMS is
recommended.
•
If the EEG7000 controller detects no input from the magnetic pickup, the controller sets the actuator to 0 V DC and the speed to
0 rpm. If the controller detects loss of magnetic pickup, LED 2 turns solid red and the system must be reset.
•
To reset the EEG7000, cycle DC power.
•
The magnetic speed sensor connections MUST BE TWISTED AND/OR SHIELDED for their entire length.
•
The speed sensor cable shield must only be connected to the case. The shield should be insulated to ensure that no other part
of it comes into contact with engine ground, otherwise stray signals may be introduced into the speed switch.
•
Minimum gap between speed sensor and gear teeth is 0.02 in [0.5 mm]. When the engine is stopped, adjust the gap between
the magnetic speed sensor and the ring gear teeth. Usually, backing out the speed sensor 3/4 turn after touching the ring gear
tooth will result in a satisfactory gap.
Aux accepts signals from:
•
GAC accessories
•
Auto synchronizers
•
Load sharing units
•
Other governing accessories
The auxiliary (AUX) pin accepts input signals from load sharing units, auto synchronizers, and other governor system accessories. The
AUX input from Pin 4 is activated by selecting Auxiliary Enable in the GAConfig Tool Advanced Configuration menu and selecting the
desired Aux / Load Sharing pane.
The AUX function decreases engine speed with increasing input voltage, the polarity shift function increases engine speed with in-
creasing input voltage. AUX input is nominally 5.0 V +/- 5.0 V DC. The GAConfig Tool Aux/Load Sharing allows you to set polarity as
decreasing or increasing speed.
Pins 1 and 2 are dedicated to actuator usage. Polarity is not required. See your specific actuator manual for details.

Pin 7 provides analog input from external trim or variable speed potentiometers. Connect a 5 kΩ potentiometer between Pins 7, 9 and
12 as shown in Variable Speed.
Pin 7 - ANALOG INPUT
When the EEG7000 detects engine speed has reached the user defined Limit / Threshold value, the EEG7000 controller changes the
state of Pin 8. Speed switch output (SSW) can provide overspeed protection, starter cutoff (crank termination), and other general aux-
iliary functions.
•
The SSW adjustment range is 100 to 6000 rpm. The default value is 1800 rpm and the default state (Mode) is NORMALLY OPEN.
•
When NORMALLY OPEN is selected the SSW output on Pin 8 will energize at the set speed. When NORMALLY CLOSED is
selected output from Pin 8 will de-energize at the speed setting.
•
When the LATCHING box is checked the SSW output state is fixed until power to the SSW is cycled. When the box is not checked
the output state automatically resets at 0 rpm. The default is checked (ON).

GETTING STARTED
Wiring between the engine, the EEG7000 controller, and the actuator should be completed before starting the engine. See Sections 5
and 6 for more wiring details. The following are the minimum wiring requirements:
•
Connect Actuator to EEG7000 (Pins A and B)
•
Connect Actuator to magnetic pickups (Pins 1 and 2)
•
Connect EEG7000 to battery (Pins C and D)
•
Connect USB from EEG7000 to PC
The EEG7000 can be set up and used straight out of the box, with an actuator attached, using default settings. This section details
the initial installation and setup using the default settings. Wiring between the engine and the EEG7000 is required, and reviewing this
document and default settings is advised.
There are two sets of parameters to work with: basic engine performance and engine tuning. Getting Started gets your engine started.
Engine Tuning improves performance.
Before you start your engine:
•
Install the GAConfig Tool on a PC and connect the PC to the EEG7000 with the USB cable.
•
Provide power to the EEG7000 from the battery.
•
Install an actuator between EEG7000 and engine, following your actuators installation manual.
•
Set the following minimum settings in the GAConfig Tool on the Engine Tuning menu:
• Overspeed for automatic actuator shutdown
• Number of engine flywheel teeth
• Fuel Limit
• Acceleration and Deceleration
• Actuator Ramp Rate
• Starter Cutoff
• Fixed Speed Settings

Once the parameter settings are reviewed and values updated as required, reconnect your fuel supply and start your engine.
1.
Reconnect the fuel supply.
2.
Crank the engine with DC power applied to the governor system. The engine should be at operating speed with no load.
3.
The actuator/ fuel to the engine will be positioned to the level set by the Actuator Start Fuel (default is maximum fuel). Actuator Ramp
Rate controls the rate at which fuel is increased to start the engine, 10 % by default.
4.
If the engine is unstable after starting, open the GAConfig Tool and adjust the Gain, Stability, and Deadtime in the Engine Tuning
Tuning block, until the engine is relatively stable.
5.
Once the engine is stable you can connect additional devices and further tune your engine.
Do not rely exclusively on the governor system electronic actuator to prevent overspeed. A secondary shutoff
device, such as a fuel solenoid must be used.
The STOP - Engine Shutdown button shuts down the controller and actuator, not the engine. STOP shuts
down the voltage to the controller; which disables the PWM output to the actuator; shutting down the engine.
START YOUR ENGINE
GETTING STARTED (CONTINUED)
9
To improve basic performance, with no load applied to the engine, complete the following:
1.
At the GAConfig Tool open the Engine Tuning Tuning and set the following:
a.
Increase the Gain by entering new value until instability develops. Gradually decrease the Gain until stability returns. Decrease
the adjustment one count further to ensure stable performance.
b.
Increase Stability value until instability develops. Gradually decrease Stability value until stability returns. Decrease the value by
one to ensure it is stable. If there is no instability leave set at 50.
c.
Set the DEADTIME to Low. If instability develops, change to High.
Once the engine is running at operating speed, with no load, use the GAConfig Tool to adjust
the parameter values to increase engine stability. Each speed parameter (Speed 1, 2, 3) has
its own Gain parameter (Gain 1, 2, 3) setting. The speed selection number and active Gain are
shown in Tuning.
Stability is achieved by balancing PID: Gain, Stability, and Deadtime.
•
Gain (Proportional) changes the initial response of the speed controller. Increasing gain
makes the engine more responsive to load changes while decreasing gain makes it less
responsive to load changes. Avoid engine instability due to high gain when adjusting this
parameter. Each fixed speed has a gain value associated with it.
•
Stability (Integral) changes the steady state response of the engine. Increasing stability
allows the system to come to steady state speed faster, while decreasing the stability
results in a more gradual transition to steady state speed.
•
Deadtime (Derivative) sets the transient response of the engine to high or low and affects
stability during transient load changes. Increasing deadtime decreases the percent of
overshoot and settling time during a transient load change while decreasing deadtime
increases them. Setting Deadtime to High can cause random speed instability during steady state since small speed errors
are amplified by this parameter.
Additional adjustments may be required after engine load is applied. Normally, adjustments made at no load achieve
satisfactory performance.
Lead Circuit, Light Force Governing and Speed Anticipation are further described in Section 16, Additional EEG7000
Capabilities.

Setting Variable Speed
Variable speed parameters activate throttle or fuel control relative to the variable speed input signal. This requires a single remote
speed adjustment potentiometer is installed to adjust the engine speed continuously over a specific speed range. At the Variable
Speed Voltage Speed Input Mode:
•
Voltage Input: (Select 0 - 5 V / Resistive) Voltage to 5.0 V, above 5.0 V the variable speed function is clamped at 100 %, rpm
response to voltage is linear.
•
Current Input: (Select 4 - 20 mA) Speed Minimum sets the low speed at 4 mA. Speed Maximum sets the high speed at 20 mA. If
the input current drops below 4 mA, variable speed is clamped at 0 %. If the input current level exceeds 20 mA, variable speed is
clamped at 100 %. The rpm response to current is linear.

Variable speed (rpm) based on current input or voltage expected results are shown here. Note the following:
•
If the Minimum Speed setting is higher than Maximum Speed, increasing the speed input signal / potentiometer position will de-
crease rpm.
•
Minimum Speed and Maximum Speed setting ranges are 150 to 6000 rpm with default value of 1500 rpm.
•
Gain, Stability, and Deadtime values may need adjustment after engine load is applied.
•
Normally adjustments made at no load achieve satisfactory performance.
•
If further performance improvements are required, see Section 17, Troubleshooting, in this guide.

1.
Review the Engine information block on the far right of the GAConfig Tool
screen to make sure Selected Speed Mode displays as Variable. Variable
Speed is set when Pins 5 and 6 are not grounded and a 5 kΩ potentiometer
is available from Pin 9. See wiring table and diagram starting in Section 5 for
details on EEG7000 and potentiometer wiring.
2.
Open the GAConfig Tool.
3.
At the Engine Tuning menu, in the Variable Speed box, select the Variable
Speed Input Mode from the dropdown menu (voltage or current input) that
corresponds to your actuators input signal.
4.
Set the potentiometer in the full counter-clockwise position.
5.
Set Speed Minimum.
6.
Set Variable Speed Start Gain to optimize minimum gain.
7.
Set Variable Position Input Minimum and Input Maximum by either manually
adding settings or use the automatic calibration buttons.
a. To set calibration automatically:
•
Turn potentiometer fully CCW and click Calibrate Minimum.
•
Turn potentiometer fully CW and click Calibrate Maximum.
b. To set each manually:
•
Set Input Minimum to between 0 to 75 %
•
Set Input Maximum to at least 25 % greater than the Minimum value.
Values entered which are not 25 % different are automatically reset to the

Adjusting for Droop
Droop adjustments are made while the engine is running. Setting droop reduces
the speed as fuel position (load) increases.
To maintain engine stability, at the minimum speed setting, add a small amount of
droop. At maximum speed performance will be near isochronous regardless of the
droop adjustment setting.
1.
Open the GAConfig Tool on your PC. From the Main menu, select Engine
Tuning and locate the Tuning pane.
2.
Check that Lead Circuit is deselected. The default is selected.
3.
From the main menu select Advanced Configuration settings and locate the
Droop box.
4.
Set No Load Current to the measured / displayed current value when operat-
ing at no load rated speed (default value is 0.5 A).
5.
Set Full Load Current to the measured / displayed current value when operat-
ing at full load rated speed (default value is 6.0 A).
6.
Set Droop to the desired settings for each of the three fixed speeds and one
variable speed as needed.
The No Load Current value must be set to less than Full Load Current and the difference between the two
must be at least 0.5 A.
If an invalid combination is entered a warning message displays and the default to 0.5 A and 6.0 A.
Speed Switch (SSW) Output receives information from sensors for low and high
speed settings as well as other speed parameters when using a speed switch in
your solution. This outputs a signal when the governor is governing at or above
the specified limit.
The SSW parameters adjust between 100 to 6000 rpm. The default value is 1800
rpm and the default state is Normally Open.
1.
From the GAConfig Tool Main menu, select Speed Switches and navigate to
the Speed Switch Output box.
2.
At Limit / Threshold set the rpm limit for speed switch 1 output.
3.
From Mode, select one of the following from the drop down menu:
•
Normally Open output from Pin 8 energizes at the set rpm.
•
Normally Closed output from Pin 8 de-energizes at set rpm.
4.
Select the Latching checkbox on the Speed Switch (SSW) Output pane to set
the SSW output state to fixed until power to the EEG7000 is cycled. When the
box is not checked the output state automatically resets to the SSW Limit rpm
to 0 without a system reset.

the GAConfig Tool, or using a compatible controller. Sample PGN transmit and receive codes are shown in this section. This docu-
ment is not intended to describe how to communicate with this controller over SAE J1939.
CREATING J1939 MESSAGING
J1939 messaging between the EEG7000 and the J1939 source is configured using these basics rules.
•
J1939 indexing starts at 1, not 0.
•
Timeout rate is 2x transmission rate. Transmission rate is configured using SPN3349 (PGN65251), part of the TSC1 message.
Timeout rate defaults at the 5th byte (0xFE to 40 ms). Other values including SPN3344 can be used to set longer timeouts.
•
Speed Ramping is used under one of two conditions:
• When not under TSC1 control
• When under TSC1 control and CAN Speed Ramp Enable is set
•
The following lists supported PGNs.
If signal is lost to J1939 the EEG7000 reverts to hardwired fixed speed settings (idle).

Additional EEG7000 capabilities
16
Light Force Governing provides finer adjustment resolution for smaller actuators. It is designed to work with low current small actuators,
like T1 ATB, ALR/ALN, 100/103/104 series and normally closed Cummins EFC actuators. Select Light Force Governing from the Engine
Tuning Tuning menu when using small actuators to improve adjustments as they respond very quickly to input changes over a smaller
range of operating current, using a fraction of the PID and current output of a normal actuator.
Lead Circuit (default is ON) enables the speed controller to be more responsive and typically increases the range of gain adjustment.
This function allows for more active control to increase the performance in typically slow engines.
Idle is set with Speed 1 of the speed control settings on the Engine Tuning menu.
Smoke Reduction is an adjustment made using the Start Fuel parameter in the Engine Tuning menu. This sets the actuator % applied
during crank in order to start easily but not too high to reduce black smoke.
Auxiliary Enable enables connections to synchronizing and load sharing equipment. This allows the adjustment of the speed requests
through the auxiliary input voltage, accepting a 1 - 9 V DC signal, biased at 5 V, and selectable response polarity. In response the
EEG7000 will increase or decrease voltage but does not change engine speed.
CAN J1939 bus device communication is supported to receive and display J1939 messages.
Importing, exporting, and restoring settings
The EEG7000 offers a number of GAC specific capabilities as well as helpful tools.
The GAConfig Tool allows settings in the tool to be stored, shared,
and imported back into the tool for use on multiple EEG7000 con-
trollers. Export settings at any time while using the GAConfig Tool.
To export files:
1.
EEG7000 must be powered on and connected to the GAConfig Tool.
2.
At the Tool bar click the Export button. The Save as dialog allows you to select the location you want to save the file.
To import files:
1.
EEG7000 must be turned on and connected to the GAConfig Tool.
2.
At the Tool bar click the Import button. The Save as dialog allows you to select the location you want to save the file.
Best practice is to export engine settings information once the engine performs as desired. Name the file using dates and intended use
as part of the file name. These files are helpful when shared with the GAC support team to aid further enhancing your settings.
To restore the original GAC factory settings:
1.
Shut the engine off. Factory restore can be done when the engine is off but the GAConfig Tool is running.
2.
Access the Quick Configuration Advanced Configuration System Commands menu.
3.
Click Factory Restore to set the EEG7000 to its factory settings. GAC factory settings are not the same settings used on an OEM
version of the EEG7000.
4.
To reset just the software settings, click System Reset.
Parameter settings can be created before connecting to the engine and uploaded once the connection is made. The EEG7000 must be
connected to power and the PC.
1.
Click the Connect button on the Main menu. The Import Configuration menu displays asking if you want to import the settings you
have recently created.
2.
Click Import to update the EEG7000. The progress bar displays. If the controller is not ready or not connected they system displays
an error message.

Measure the voltage at the battery while cranking.
If the voltage is less than:
•
7 V DC for a 12 V DC system, or 14 V DC for a 24 V DC sys-
tem check or replace battery.
Momentarily connect Pins 1 and 11. The actuator
should move to the full fuel position.
Actuator or battery wiring in error
Actuator or linkage binding
Defective actuator
Fuse opens. Check for short in actuator or harness.
Engine remains below
desired governed speed
Measure the actuator output, Pins 1 and 2, while
running under governor control.
If voltage measurement is within 2 V DC of the battery supply
voltage level, then fuel control is restricted from reaching full fuel
position, possibly due to mechanical governor, carburetor spring, or
linkage interference.
