EEG7500

Enhanced Electronic Governor

1

INTRODUCTION

GAC’s EEG7500 enhanced electronic governor is designed to regulate engine speed 

on diesel and gaseous fueled engines. When paired with a GAC actuator the EEG is 

a suitable upgrade for any mechanical governor system that needs flexibility, preci

-

sion, or accurate control of governed speed. The EEG7500 is designed for industrial 

engine applications from generator sets, mechanical drives, pumps, and compressors 

to off-road mobile equipment. Configuring is easy with GAC’s free 

GAConfig Tool

 

software.  The EEG7500 supports:  

 

Š

Flexible actuator compatibility including bidirectional actuators with or without 

actuator position feedback signal, bi-directional torque motors, and Bosch-style 

throttle bodies.  

 

Š

Fully configurable digital and analog inputs and outputs 

 

Š

Inputs: 5 analog, 2 digital

 

Š

Outputs: 1 analog, 3 digital

 

Š

0 - 5 V DC, 4 - 20 mA, 0 - 10 V DC, or  ±3 V DC input ranges

 

Š

Speed Sync using CAN bus

 

Š

Virtual Input/Output Routing

EEG7500 supports three 

operating modes

:

 

Š

Non-Feedback Speed Control (NFSC) provides standard 

PID

 governing function for use with proportional actuators. No position 

feedback sensor is required.  PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) governor functions are optimized for best response and control 

of the requested engine revolutions per minute (

rpm).    

 

Š

Feedback Speed Control (FSC

) combines NFSC and PM modes for use with proportional or bidirectional (torque motor) actuators. A 

position feedback sensor is required.  The Speed PID position request is the input to the Positioner loop, the Position PID optimizes 

response and control of the requested actuator position.     

 

Š

Positioner Control (PC) (uncommon) provides actuator positioning control and is used with proportional actuators or bidirectional 

(torque motor) actuators with a feedback sensor (required).
