ALTRONIC CPU-2000 FOR LARGE STATIONARY ENGINES

 
The DC-powered CPU-2000 system is designed for application on all large-bore stationary gas engines and can accommodate virtually any engine firing pattern. A single, universal CPU-2000 Logic Module can be used in conjunction with either a 16 or a 32-output Ignition Output Module thus minimizing the number and variety of ignition components. A simple terminal program allows one unit to fit all applications, and a field-replaceable memory minimizes overall engine downtime in the event that the ignition system requires replacement.
This second-generation digital crankshaft-referenced system also integrates sophisticated combustion enhancement tools, and communications capabilities. The quad-strike function (four full-energy strikes), present in the CPU-2000, has been proven highly effective in igniting lean mixtures for lower exhaust emissions, as well as for improved fuel economy
on engines that suffer from poor air/fuel mixing and scavenging. An on-board RS-485 serial port with MODBUS capability for integration into planned or existing control systems is also available.  Comprehensive system diagnostics, with primary and secondary discharge monitoring functions, are built into the CPU-2000 Diagnostic Module. This innovative diagnostic method patented by Altronic requires no additional probes or special ignition coils, yet offers users effective tools for monitoring the wear of spark plugs and other ignition or combustion abnormalities. This spark demand monitoring capability can be used to automatically raise the delivered energy as the spark plugs wear calling for higher voltage.
