MM14330-GT 1 CruiseCommand with Governed

Electric Troll
785CE-GT is a basic CruiseCommand Processor with Governed Electric Troll as an additional feature. The
following is the information required to utilize Governed Electric Troll. All other functions and features of
CruiseCommand are described in the standard MM14330-I manual.
NOTE: Standard Open Loop troll must be programmed with the L functions and fully operational prior to
attempting to set up and program Governed Closed Loop troll. Refer to the CruiseCommand Installation
Manual, MM14330-I, for L programming.

MM14330-GT 1-1 Description

In order to understand the operation of Governed Troll, also referred to as Closed Loop Troll, you must
have a basic understanding of standard Open Loop Troll operation and control.

In a Standard (Open Loop) Troll, the Processor provides a gear mounted proportional solenoid a PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) signal. Based on the available clutch power, the PWM signal provides a set
amount of current for a given Control Head lever position. The current delivered to the proportional
solenoid is very accurate and repeatable. The current delivered to the proportional solenoid determines
how much transmission oil pressure can be delivered to the clutch pack. The amount of pressure applied
to the clutch pack determines if the clutch plates are making no contact, slipping or are fully locked up. In
the perfect world, a set amount of current applied to the proportional solenoid will always result in a set
propeller shaft speed. In the real world however, various items have an effect on this perfect world
relationship. Items such as oil viscosity, oil temperature, engine loading, hard turns etc. can have a
dramatic effect on the actual propeller shaft rpm for a given current. This is where the true advantage of
Governed Troll is realized.

Initially, Governed (Closed Loop)Troll works in the same manner as standard troll. A preset amount of
current (milliamps) is applied to a proportional solenoid for a given Control Head lever position.
Governed Troll takes it a step further by monitoring the propeller shaft speed or closing the loop. Due to
the shaft monitoring, the Processor can be programmed to a specific propeller shaft speed for a given
Control Head lever position. This allows the Processor to automatically increase or decrease the amount
of current being applied to the proportional solenoid in order to provide better propeller shaft rpm
stability. The end result is a more consistent shaft rpm for a given lever position, since the Processor can
make adjustments as oil temperature increases, the vessel turns, etc.

MM14330-GT 1-3.2 Function Code J0 – Governed Troll Engine Idle Frequency

The value entered here represents the speed of the Propeller Shaft (Output Shaft) at Idle.

MM14330-GT 1-3.2.1 Obtaining J0 Value

There are two methods of obtaining the appropriate value. They are as follows:

1 H0 Function (Method 1)
A) Scroll Up or Down to the H0 Function Code on the display.
B) Depress the Left and Right Arrow push buttons until the H0xx begins blinking,
then release.
C) Depress the Down Arrow push button one time.
D) Start the engine and command Idle Ahead without Troll.
E) Record the frequency displayed on the LED Display.
F) Return the Control Head to the Neutral/ Idle position and shut down the
engine.
G) Repeat steps A) thru F) as needed, for twin or more screw applications.
2 Calculate (Method 2)
A) Record the engine’s Idle rpm _____________.
B) Record the transmission’s reduction ratio _____________.
C) Record the number of Pulses Per Revolution (PPR) for the Output Shaft Sender
_____________.
D) Divide the Output Shaft by the Input Shaft’s ratio’s. i.e. 2:1 ratio = 0.50
_____________.
E) Multiply engine Idle rpm by the result of step 4. i.e. 600 x 0.50 = 300
_____________.
F) Multiply results of steps 3 and 5. i.e. 32 PPR x 300 = 9600 _____________.
G) Divide results of step 6 by 60. i.e. 9600/ 60 = 160 _____________.
H) Program the Value obtained in step G) into the J0 Function.

Page MM14330-GT 1-3

MM14330-GT

Regardless of which of the above methods was used, the frequency representing the
Propeller Shaft must be entered into Function Code J0. This base value is used by the
Processor to calculate Troll Minimum and Maximum Percents.

MM14330-GT 1-3.2.2 Idle Frequency Programming

A) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until Function Code J0 is displayed.
B) Depress the Left and Right Arrow push buttons simultaneously until J0 begins to blink
slowly.
C) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until the value obtained in Method 1 or
Method 2 is reached.
D) Enter the new value into memory by simultaneously depressing the Left and Right
Arrow push buttons.

MM14330-GT 1-3.3 Function Code J1 – Governed Troll Minimum Percent

The value entered determines the percentage of Governed Troll Engine Idle Frequency (J0) which
the Processor commands and maintains for minimum propeller shaft rotation during closed loop
troll operation. This function should be set to the same value used in Open Loop Troll. If 30% was
used set in Open Loop, stay with 30%.

MM14330-GT 1-3.3.1 Obtaining J1 Value

Example:

Using the scenario where the engine Idle rpm is 600, with a reduction ratio of 2:1, the normal
propeller shaft rpm would be 300. If the default value of 30% was used, the minimum
propeller shaft speed during troll would be 30% of 300 rpm, or 90 rpm.

MM14330-GT 1-3.3.2 Governed Troll Minimum Percent Programming:

This Function allows any value from 0 to Governed Troll Maximum Percent (J2) to be
entered. However, our experience has shown controlling the shaft rotation when below 30%
is difficult, if not impossible in some cases.

A) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until Function Code J1 is displayed.
B) Depress the Left and Right Arrow push buttons simultaneously until J1 begins
to blink slowly.
C) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until the desired value is reached.
D) Enter the new value into memory by simultaneously depressing the Left and
Right Arrow push buttons.

MM14330-GT 1-3.4 Function Code J2 – Governed Troll Maximum Percent

The value entered determines the percentage of Governed Troll Engine Idle Frequency (J0) which
the Processor commands and maintains for maximum propeller shaft rotation during Closed Loop
Troll operation. This function should be set to the same value used in Open Loop Troll. If 70% was
set in Open Loop, stay with 70%.

MM14330-GT 1-3.4.1 Obtaining J2 Value

Example:

Using the scenario where the engine Idle rpm is 600, with a reduction ratio of 2:1, the normal
propeller shaft rpm would be 300. If the default value of 70% was used, a maximum propeller
shaft speed during troll would be 70% of 300 rpm, or 210 rpm.

MM14330-GT

MM14330-GT 1-3.4.2 Governed Troll Maximum Percent Programming:

This Function allows any value from the programmed value of Governed Troll Minimum
Percent (J1) to 100% to be entered. However, our experience has shown controlling the shaft
rotation above 70% to be difficult, if not impossible without “chattering” or fully locking up
the clutch plates in many cases.

A) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until Function Code J2 is displayed.
B) Depress the Left and Right Arrow push buttons simultaneously until J2 begins
to blink slowly.
C) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until the desired value is reached.
D) Enter the new value into memory by simultaneously depressing the Left and
Right Arrow push buttons.

MM14330-GT 1-3.5 Function Code J3 – Governed Troll Range

This value determines the systems expected accuracy at Governed Troll Minimum Percent and
Governed Troll Maximum Percent.

MM14330-GT 1-3.5.1 Obtaining J3 Value

Example:

This example is written assuming a solenoid current of 200 mA is required for minimum
pressure. (The Minimum Troll shaft rotation is set to 90 rpm), and 300 mA is required for
maximum pressure. (Maximum Troll shaft rotation set to 210 rpm).

If the Governed Troll Range (J3) were set to 1.0 (1.0% of current range, 300 mA.- 200 mA. =
100 mA.), the current at Maximum Troll could vary from 299 mA. to 301 mA. in order to
maintain the propeller shaft rpm at 90. Once the current limit range is reached, no further
adjustments are made unless the target rpm once again falls within the current range or a
change in the troll command is given.

MM14330-GT 1-3.5.2 Governed Troll Range Programming:

A) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until Function Code J3 is displayed.
B) Depress the Left and Right Arrow push buttons simultaneously until J3 begins to blink
slowly.
C) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until the desired value is reached.
D) Enter the new value into memory by simultaneously depressing the Left and Right
Arrow push buttons.

MM14330-GT 1-3.6 Function Code J4 – Governed Troll Timeout

The value entered determines how often changes are made to the current (milliamps) supplied to
the proportional solenoid when the actual propeller shaft rpm does not match the values
programmed into Governed Troll Minimum Percent and Governed Troll Maximum Percent.

MM14330-GT 1-3.6.1 Governed Troll Timeout Programming:

A) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until Function Code J4 is displayed.
B) Depress the Left and Right Arrow push buttons simultaneously until J4 begins to blink
slowly.
C) Press the Up or Down Arrow push button until the desired value is reached.
D) Enter the new value into memory by simultaneously depressing the Left and Right
Arrow push buttons.
