USING THE DISPLAY

Experience is required to effectively use the display.

Only with frequent use will this experience be devel-
oped.

Operation of the locomotive will not be interrupted or

degraded if a mistake is made while using the DID panel
in Level 1. Neither is it possible to cause any damage.
Use of the panel by all responsible persons is encour-
aged.

THE DISPLAY

Message Windows (Fig. 1)

The Diagnostic Display (DID) panel has a two–line

display window. In Level 1, FAULT and SUMMARY
messages are displayed on the top line. The second line
of the display is a “Menu” line as described in Fig. 1.

NOTE: As can be seen on the SUMMARY mes-
sage list, these READY messages are the two
lowest priority messages. They will not be dis-
played if higher priority SUMMARY messages
(operating restrictions) exist.
SUMMARY MESSAGE –
LOAD CONDITIONS
If no faults are detected for the selected operating
mode (i.e., motor, dynamic brake, self–load, etc.), the
following parameters are monitored.
In IDLE, BRAKE SETUP, CRANK, and CRANK
SETUP, one of the “Ready:Load Conditions” summary
messages will show (depending on locomotive option):
Ready: I=xxx A V=xxx V Tw=xxx F To=xxx F
Ready: I=xxx A V=xxx V Po=xxx kPa To=xxx F
Where:
I indicates the battery charge or discharge
current
V indicates the battery charge voltage
Tw indicates the engine outlet water
temperature (F or C) *
Po indicates the engine oil pressure *
To indicates the engine outlet oil temperature
(F or C)
In MOTORING, the summary message will show:
Motoring: I=xxxx A V=xxxx V P=xxxx GHP
Where:
I indicates the rectified DC current out of the
alternator
V indicates the rectified DC voltage out of the
alternator
P indicates the engine Gross Horsepower
In DYNAMIC BRAKING, the summary message will
show:
Brake: Ia=xxxx A If=xxxx V P=xxxx kW
* If option is available
Where:
Ia indicates the maximum motor armature or
grid current
If indicates the motor field current
P indicates the grid kilowatt dissipation
In SELF LOAD, the summary message will show:
Self Load: I=xxxx A V=xxxx V P=xxxx GHP
Where:
I indicates the rectified DC current out of the
alternator
V indicates the rectified DC voltage out of the
alternator
P indicates the engine Gross Horsepower
In BATTERY JOG, the summary message will show:
BatJog: I=xxx A V=xxx V
Where:
I indicates the battery jog current
V indicates the battery voltage
If Auto Engine Start/Stop is installed, the summary
message will show:
Auto Stop will occur in: m=xxx s=xx
Where:
m indicates minutes
s indicates the seconds
ALARM MODE
The computers check locomotive operation on a
continuing basis. If an abnormal condition (FAULT) is
detected, the ALARM mode is initiated by the locomo-
tive computers.
Faults can either have no bell associated with them,
a 5–second bell, a 30–second bell, or a continuous bell.
Faults that do not cause a deration or a restriction, such
as Self Test faults, do not ring the bell. Faults that cause
a deration or set–up type faults ring the bell for 5 sec-
onds. Faults that impose a restriction (i.e., motoring or
braking) ring the bell for 30 seconds. Faults that cause
the engine to shut down ring the bell continuously.
5
SMI-00750-043A , BrightstarSiriusLocomotives
NOTE: If the computer initiates the ALARM
mode, when the DID panel is operating in any
other mode, it will interrupt that mode to display
the ALARM. When the ALARM mode is com-
pleted, the display will return to its previous op-
erating mode.
When the ALARM mode is initiated, a description of
the problem will be given on the message line of the dis-
play in the form of a FAULT message, the word “Silence”
will appear on the menu line and, in most cases, an
alarm bell will sound.
NOTE: When any unit in the locomotive consist
initiates an ALARM, the alarm bell on all loco-
motives will ring. All BrightstarSiriusloco-
motives in the consist are notified of the
ALARM through the SUMMARY message,
“Alarm from Other Unit.” If the initiating unit is a
BrightstarSiriuslocomotive, a message de-
scribing the FAULT and “Silence” will appear
on the Display panel of that unit as described
above. Pressing “Silence” on the initiating unit
will quiet the ALARM on all trainlined units. The
bell can only be silenced from the initiating
unit; therefore, “Silence” does not appear on
any other units in the consist.
“Silence” Soft Key
“Silence” is the only soft key that appears in the
ALARM mode. It does not appear in any other mode of
operation.
When “Silence” is pressed, the ALARM mode is ter-
minated, the bell will stop ringing and the word “Silence”
will disappear. The message line will change from the
FAULT message to show the operating restriction which
has the greatest effect on the locomotive’s ability to op-
erate normally (highest priority SUMMARY message).
NOTE: Several ALARMS are considered so seri-
ous that the bell should not be silenced. In the
case of ENGINE SHUTDOWN, for example, no
“Silence” soft key appears. The EC switch on
the SHUTDOWN unit must be turned to the
START position to silence the bell.
6
FAULT MODE
As mentioned before, as a result of abnormal condi-
tions (FAULTS), it may be necessary to protect the loco-
motive’s equipment, by placing certain operating restric-
tions on the locomotive.
The FAULT mode of operation allows the operator to
return the locomotive to the READY condition unless
conditions exist that prohibit READY operation.
The restrictions imposed are displayed in the form of
SUMMARY messages. In resetting FAULTS it is impor-
tant to know the following about SUMMARY messages:
1. A single FAULT may result in more than one
SUMMARY message.
2. Under normal operating conditions, the highest
priority SUMMARY message will be displayed.
Highest priority being those conditions which
have the greatest effect on the locomotive’s abil-
ity to operate normally.
3. If a FAULT is Reset, the operating restrictions im-
posed by it are removed and the related SUM-
MARY messages are no longer displayed.
4. Several FAULTS may impose the same operat-
ing restrictions and will, therefore, result in the
same SUMMARY message.
NOTE: A SUMMARY message will only be dis-
played once (by priority), regardless of the
number of Active FAULTS which generate the
same message.
5. A list of SUMMARY messages by priority ap-
pears on Page 11.
FAULT Mode Soft Keys
The following soft keys can be used by the operator
to view SUMMARY and FAULT messages and to begin
and complete the Reset procedure.
Soft Key

Exit Takes the DID panel out of the current oper
ating mode.

Reset? This soft key asks the operator, Do you
want to Reset?" (a FAULT). It will appear only
when there are Active FAULTS.
NOTE: Permission to Reset FAULTS is
determined by the railroad. If Reset?"
does not appear, the railroad has se
lected to prohibit Level 1 reset of the
FAULT.
Resetting a FAULT requires two steps:
Pressing Reset?" initiates the Reset proce
dure. When Reset?" is pressed, the most
recent FAULT will be displayed with the
choice of Resetting that FAULT or looking at
other FAULTS which have not been Reset
(Active" FAULTS).
NOTE: Reset" (without the question
mark) must be pressed to complete the
Reset procedure.
Reset Pressing this key completes the Reset pro
cedure. Pressing Reset" tells the computer
that this FAULT has been corrected, remove
all operating restrictions imposed by it and,
if there are no other Active FAULTS, return
the locomotive to normal operation. When
all Active FAULTS have been Reset, the
message READY - Work Report Stored"
will be displayed. If other Active FAULTS re
main, the highest priority SUMMARY mes
sage will be displayed.
CAUTION: Equipment damage may re
sult if a FAULT is repeatedly reset. If a
FAULT has reoccurred more than three
times, it should not be reset until the
cause of the FAULT is determined and
necessary repairs made.
NOTE: If a FAULT causes power to be re
moved, the unit will not load again until
the call for power is removed and again
requested. This is done by momentarily
placing the Throttle handle to IDLE.
NOTE: If a FAULT is Active (not Reset) it
will not reoccur. If a FAULT is Reset and
the problem not corrected, the FAULT
will reoccur and the ALARM mode may
be initiated.
Older FAULT messages are displayed in order of
and most recent first. The Older" and Newer"
Newer soft keys allow the operator to view Older"
and Newer" Active FAULT messages re
spectively.
ShoMore SUMMARY messages are displayed in or
der
and of highest priority ShoMore" and Go
Back"
GoBack allow the operator to review ALL SUMMARY
messages (operating restrictions). Each
time ShoMore" is pressed, the next lower
priority SUMMARY message will be dis
played. Pressing GoBack" will display the
next higher priority SUMMARY message.
NOTE: The choices ShoMore" and Go
Back" are given only when there are low
er or higher priority SUMMARY mes
sages respectively.
NOTE: If there is no key pad activity for
15 seconds, the display will change to
show the highest priority SUMMARY
message.
REMEMBER: When a FAULT is Reset, the
FAULT and SUMMARY messages related to
that FAULT are no longer displayed.
