Introduction The EGR 5230 The EGR 5230 is a very compact exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) ratio measurement device with the following features: Measures both volume and mass-based EGR ratios Can be used in diesel and spark ignition engines ...
(internal EGR). During throttled engine operation, even with the EGR valve closed, a non-zero %EGR can be measured due to this intake flow. The EGR 5230 cannot differentiate between the two EGR flows. It just measures the %EGR at the location of the intake O sensor.

Front Panel and the “SYS” Key The EGR 5230 display head can be thought of as two single-channel display heads in one package. The intake lambda module (attached to intake O and pressure sensors) is assigned (via the MOd Setup Option) to the upper display, upper four leds, and analog outputs 1, 2, 3 (i.e.

MOd (Module) Setup Option In MOd setup, the serial number of the lambda module assigned to the upper (MOdi) or lower channel (MOdx) is entered. The serial number is written on a label on the module (see Figure B1). The module attached to the intake O and pressure sensors must be assigned to the upper channel and will send information to the upper display and the analog outputs 1, 2, and 3.

CAL (Calibrate) Setup Option sensors supplied with the EGR 5230 are factory calibrated. This calibration is stored in a memory chip inside the sensor’s connector. With use, O sensors can age requiring recalibration to maintain measurement accuracy.

Page 26
AGEF (O sensor age factor) After the O sensor has been user-calibrated, data from this calibration is compared to data taken from the sensor when it was new. From this, a parameter (AGEF) is calculated that indicates the relative sensitivity of the sensor compared to when it was new. If AGEF is 1.00, the sensor’s sensitivity has not changed.
Page 27
Pressure sensors cannot be user-calibrated but can be recalibrated by ECM. Raw data is sampled from the O and pressure sensors every 5 ms. This data is averaged by the lambda module every 5 ms before being sent to the display head every 5 ms. For the , , AFR, Φ, FAR, the averaging filter is ILAM (one ILAM for intake...
CONF (Configure) Setup Option CONF setup appears at the end of the setup list for the lower channel. To enter CONF, press the SYS key until “MOd” appears on the upper display, press the key until “CONF” appears on the bottom display, and then press the ENT key. CONF relates to display head (as opposed to lambda module or sensor) setup.

LambdaCAN* modules can be used in conjunction with an analyzer (EIB mode) or on its own (Stand-alone mode). When used as part of an analyzer (ex. Lambda 5220, EGR 5230), the module is setup in EIB mode. When delivered to be used alone, the module is setup in Stand-alone mode.

2. Start the Configuration Tool (software). Click on the “Module” tab. Select the CAN adapter being used. Then start the communication. 3. Click on the “Set to EIB Mode”. Wait for “Done” Message. Stop communication and exit program.

4. Take the nut off the end of the module. Use an 18mm socket without the wrench. 5. Release the two tangs at each side of the module. 6. Slide the PCB out. Remove the jumper from JP4. You can hang it on one pin of JP4 when “off”.
Page 43
7. Make sure both O-rings are on the threaded connector. 8. Slide the PCB into the enclosure until the two tangs “click”. 9. Put the nut on and tighten ONLY ½ turn from where it is seated. If this nut is tightened too much, the connector will crack and the enclosure will not be sealed.
Appendix C: Error Codes and Troubleshooting If one of the EGR 5230’s displays flashes “ERR” followed by “####” (the Error Code), an error has been detected in that channel’s module (or attached sensors). The below table lists the errors. The errors are also flashed on the module’s LED.
Appendix D: Calculating the %O in Air The Configuration Tool Software has a routine to calculate the %O in air. If the software is not available, the below may be used. The oxygen concentration in dry air (zero humidity) is 20.945 and decreases with increasing humidity.

1. Press SYS until “LOCK” is displayed. Then press ENT. 2. “50” will be displayed. Press until “60” is displayed. Then press ENT. Display is now unLOCKed. If an unauthorized person learns that 60 is the key number, contact ECM.

6. The analog parameters are called A#_sn where “#” is the analog output number and “sn” is the serial number of the display head (ex. A1_45405300). The serial number is the first thing that is displayed on startup on the display head. The display parameters are called TopDisp_sn, and BtmDisp_sn.
2. Connect the Ethernet port directly to the Ethernet port on your PC. This port does not use an internet/intranet connection like a router. 3. Connect either the CAN1 or CAN2 port to a CAN network (i.e. ECM analyzer(s) and/or module(s)).

8. Initialize hardware. The hardware is currently stopped, as indicated by the red stop sign icon next to the selected hardware. You must initialize it before you can use it to collect data. Click on the Initialize Hardware button on the upper tool bar and wait for the hardware to complete its initialization.

10. Select and Configure Variables. Select the variables that you wish to monitor in the Experiment Environment. These variables names are based on the data found in the dbc file. Click Configure. 11. Another window will pop up to configure each selected variable. You can configure, for each variable, whether to record or simply display the data, how the data will be displayed (graphs, charts, gauges, numeric, etc.).

13. Start CAN monitoring. Right now there is no data displayed. That is because the CAN monitoring is stopped. To begin CAN monitoring, click on the Start Visualization icon (blue triangle) on the left hand tool bar. To stop CAN monitoring, click the Stop Measuring icon (black square) on the left hand tool bar.

Creating a .dbc File The ECM Configuration Tool is used to create a .dbc database file for describing the CAN messages broadcast from an analyzer or module. All ECM products with a CAN interface use the CANopen protocol at 500kHz by default. To generate a .dbc file from an analyzer, refer to Appendix F.
