PV350 / PV380

Post by DCORNER » Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:08 am

Do either the PV350 or PV380 have the capability to display land speed and PTO rpm on a Cummins N14 "Century" controlled engine?

Hi!

Is the data for the land speed and PTO RPM transmitted on a CAN? The PV350/PV380s use J1939, CANOpen and NEMA 2000 protocols over the CAN. If so, both the PV350 and PV380 are capable. You will need to create a custom configuration using the PowerVision Configuration Studio.

Or are they some kind of sensor input? If so, the PV350 won't work since you have two inputs and it doesn't have a frequency input.

Depending on the type of input, the PV350 or PV380 will work and most likely you will need a custom configuration to display the parameters you have listed. If you have more details about the inputs, I can provide more information.

Thank you for your interest in the PV350/PV380!

The engine rpm, land speed and PTO rpm are being sent by individual resistive inputs. This is a mechanical engine application. Can a custom configuration be done to allow these parameters to be displayed and if so do you need to know the number of pulses per revolution in order to do the programming ?

Hi !

The PV380 is not really able to convert the frequency inputs to RPMs or MPH, if that is what you are asking. There is one frequency input, but it is very limited.

However, if you are asking about resistive inputs from a sender that has already converted the frequency pulses to voltage, the PV380 should be able to do that. You will need to know the data curve for the resistance values in order to display the speeds.
