The electronic fuel injection control system is designed with a permanent timing setting for each of the individual locomotive operating speed and load points. The timing, signal, and load control module (TSLAM) provides the freedom and flexibility to condition the electronic signals and create new settings that yield fuel economy and emission benefits.
The module is an electronic control device that is assembled into the current wiring harness between the engine control module (EGU) and the engine timing and speed sensors. The unit’s purpose is to analyze the timing reference signals being sent to the EGU which consequently signals the injection pump’s solenoid valve to function (injection pump’s timing signal or start of injection, and the injection pump solenoid’s pulse width or injection duration. The TSLAM provides the ability to condition the existing signal based on engine speed and load to new settings which yield performance and emission benefits.
Each TSLAM is pre-programmed in flash memory by the manufacturer with the appropriate timing and speed modifications. The TSLAM module is not field-programmable, it is tamper proof and requires no maintenance.
