Annunciator Setup - ECU Selection

The ECU Selection specifies the general way the Brain outputs are integrated into the engine. The Brain can either control the starter and ignition directly, or can be configured to control through an external ECU: either a Caterpillar ADEM, a Waukesha ESM, or a VFD.

The Output Scheme Setup page can be accessed from the main setup menu “Outputs Setup” then “ECU Setup”.

System Output Scheme Configuration

On this page the output type can be selected. On the right side of the page the output connections will be summarized to assist with wiring.

Note: If an external ECU is selected, the Brain will use digital in 27 as the status input. If another function is enabled on the input, it will be overwritten.

For some types of controllers, a couple other options are shown on the lower part of the page.
