Parametrization options
The software of the HEINZMANN digital controllers is designed in such a way that the pa-
rameter settings can be implemented both at the premises of the engine manufacturer and,
with the help of corresponding resources (communication tools), also at the premises of the
end customer. Upon leaving the HEINZMANN factory, only selected parameters are preset to
practical values. This means that the digital control device normally receives its final parame-
ter setting from a source other than HEINZMANN.
Controllers featuring larger piece counts are an exception to this rule. If HEINZMANN is able
to provide a final parameter setting, this can be integrated ex works.
As a principle, first programming should always be conducted by experienced personnel and
must be checked before first commissioning the engine.
The publication 'Basic information 2000' provides a detailed description of the significance of
the parameters and how they are set.
The following sections describe the possibilities of parametrizing the control unit:
12.1
Parametrization at the factory
During final inspection at the factory, the functionability of the unit is checked by a test
programme. If the operational data for the control unit is available, the test programme is
carried out using this data. It is then only the dynamics data and if need be the fuel limita-
tions and sensors that will have to be calibrated on the engine.
12.2
Parametrization with the Hand Held Programmer HP 03
All parametrization can also be done by means of the hand held programmer
‘Programmer 3’. This handy device is particularly suited for development and series
calibration as well as for servicing. The device does not require an external voltage supply.

Parametrierung mit dem PC / Laptop
Parametrization can also be conducted using a PC and the comfortable
HEINZMANN
software DcDesk 2000. As compared with the hand held programmer, it offers the great
advantage of having various curves graphically represented on the screen and being at the
same time able to introduce changes as well as of having time diagrams displayed without
an oscilloscope when commissioning the control unit on the engine. Furthermore, the PC
offers a better overview as the PC programme has a menu structure and allows to have
several parameters continuously displayed.
