Volvo EC360B Engine Speed and Work Mode Control Overview

This illustration show Volvo EC330B excavator engine speed and work mode control.

Volvo EC360B Engine Speed and Work Mode Control Overview


In control system, we can have 10-step engine speed and 5 work-modes.

By rotating engine speed control switch, Engine rpm and work-mode is set at the same time. You can see the specification at the next page.
This function allows the operator to select the engine speed and work mode according to working condition and to optimise the machine performance and fuel efficiency.
Principle is simple. Excavator converts the mechanical power from engine to hydraulic power using hydraulic pump. So engine power should be bigger than pump consuming power. If not, engine could be stall or stop.
The V-ECU always receives the current engine speed from the E-ECU . It balances engine horsepower and pump consuming power by changing output current to power-shift valve. Power-shift valve is kind of proportional valve using PWM signal. By controlling power-shift valve, we can change the swash plate angle and finally change pump flow rate. So system can keep pump torque maintain lower than engine torque at the selected engine speed.Volvo Vocom 88890300
(1) In I (Idle)& F (Fine) mode, current is fixed at specified value regardless of engine load condition. That means engine output is bigger enough compared to pump input power.
In P (Power max.), H (Heavy duty), G (General) mode,(2) If engine is not loaded, it uses the specified current value at each engine speed.
(3) When engine is loaded, VECU increase the current of power-shift valve to decrease the consuming power of pump.

Volvo EC330B Excavator Battery Relay & Safety start Relay

Volvo EC330B Excavator Battery Relay & Safety start Relay Battery relay This is main relay for electric system. Volvo PTT Techtool 2.8.130 The relay turns the battery current ON or OFF, according to low power signals received from the start switch. Use of the relay permits the start switch to control the power of the batteries with a small capacity wire. When you replace this component, pay attention to the +/- signs on the relay. Wrong connection can cause early failure of relay. 2. Safety start relay When trying to restart the engine while the engine is running, or if the start switch is in the START position after the engine is activated, the relay cuts off the current to the starter motor to protect it.

Volvo EC330B Excavator Electronic Control System Overview

Volvo ECB330B Excavator Electronic control system overview   Volvo ECB330B Electronic control system is composed of various computers and its communication line. In our system, 2 computer (EECU, VECU) is programmable and 1 computer (MDU) is not. Volvo Tech Tool Communication is important thing to control the machine properly. We use two communication lines that is international protocol. The line is twisted to protect the bus from electrical interference.
