Summary of Installation Requirements

The ED-4 Display is designed to be mounted onto a bulkhead, dashboard, or panel. It
should be mounted to a flat rigid surface in such a way that minimizes excessive
vibration. It should be mounted in such a way that minimizes exposure to direct water
spray. While the display is resistant to direct water spray, it is considered a good
practice to minimize this exposure. The display does have internal backlighting and can
be viewed in spaces that have minimal or no ambient lighting.
It is recommended that the ABYC (American Boat & Yacht Council, Inc) Standards and
Technical Information Reports for the applicable wiring sections be followed.
These standards and technical information reports complement the mandatory
standards declared by the United States Coast Guard under the authority of the Federal
Boat Safety Act of 1971. For international customers, standards applicable to the wiring
subsystems outlined by the regional regulatory body should be followed.

Installation instructions listed in the Commercial Marine Installation Directions and

published MABs also apply to the ED-4. Please refer to Table 5 in the Reference
section for more information on related MABs and manuals. The Application and
Installation Directions manual is published on the gce.cummins.com website in the
CEB/MAB/AEB Master List.
*The ED-4 does not hold a Type Approval Certificate for Marine Class Society.

Discussion

• Transmits data onto the NMEA 2000 network (See Reference Section)

ED-3 Replacement
The ED-3 display will be obsolete by the supplier in 2021. In response to this, Cummins
Marine will be releasing the ED-4 on select engines currently available with an ED-3
and for the PT Basic Panel. This includes QSK and KTA series engines. For detailed
information on just the ED-3 display, refer to MAB No. 0.15.00-09/02/2004.

Unlike the ED-3 which supports J1587/J1708, the ED-4 does not support J1587/J1708.
Support for J1587/J1708 would require internal hardware change to the ED-4 but there
are no plans to make such a change. J1939 is supported by both ED-3 and ED-4. All
SPNs that were used in the ED-3 are supported in the ED-4. For more information on
the available monitoring parameters, see Table 2 of this document.

Data Flow
The ED-4 transmits and receives data (push and pull) on the J1939 network. It can also
transmit data (push only) on the NMEA2000 (N2K) network. The ED-4 indicates engine
operating parameters and fault codes. It may be configured to serve as the gateway for
relaying engine ECM information to MFDs (Multi-Function Displays) via N2K. For more
information on N2K, see the Reference section.

Electronic Display ED-4 for PSBU MAB 0.15.00-08/25/2021

The ED-4 connects to the engine or generator ECM via the J1939 datalink (network).
The ED-4 monitors this data stream from the ECM and converts/displays data in textual
format. In addition, the ED-4 monitors the data stream for fault information detected by
the ECM and reported via the J1939 datalink. The ED-4 indicates active fault codes
while filtering out fault codes that are not applicable to marine installations.

Regardless of the number of engines installed in the vessel, there must be an

independent J1939 network for each engine (Figure 5). Therefore, this system uses
one (1) J1939 backbone per engine (Figure 5). In the event the OEM asks to combine
J1939 networks, please consult a factory Marine AE as not all engines/applications are
compatible with this arrangement.

Figure 5: J1939 Architecture Example

It is imperative that the termination resistors are installed correctly. “Over termination”
and “under termination” BOTH result in intermittent or failed J1939 networks.

All electronically controlled engines ship from the factory with a J1939 termination
resistor (120 Ohm) on the engine harness. There is one (1) termination resistor per
engine that must be installed at the furthest end of the backbone (in addition to the
factory installed termination resistor at the engine). Figure 6 shows the J1939 helm
connection, weather cap, and termination resistor. Every J1939 connection should have
a weather cap installed if it is not located at the end of the backbone with a termination
resistor installed. Figure 7 shows the details of the termination resistor pin locations.

Note: If a third-party J1939 device(s) is connected to the network, the source address
claiming process for the ED-4(s) may be affected. This may cause information
mismatch. Please consult the AE for more details related to this type of application.

The ED-4 monitors and displays several engine parameters. Table 2 below shows the
J1939 parameter details used by the ED-4 for Cummins PSBU. Use this table as a
reference when selecting third party J1939 gauges or displays to ensure the correct
data is received. Not all third party J1939 gauges monitor the same parameters. The
appendix contains the supplemental bulletin number that shows some common J1939
gauges that have been tested with this system.

Installation
A paper mounting template designed for marking drill locations is supplied loose with
the ED-4 kit (Figure 8). After markings are made for the cutout, it is recommended that
the dimensions are verified by measurements to mitigate errors due to limitations in the
printing process. This is especially important if the template has been photocopied.

Figure 8: ED-4 Reference Template [mm (in)]

Caution: DO NOT use this Template for the installation of the ED-4 as it is for
dimensional reference, ONLY use the template supplied with the kit.

The ED-4 fasteners attach to the back of the unit. It is imperative that the ED-4 is
mounted in a location that will provide sufficient access for potential future service
events. The mounting hardware is supplied with every display and consists of (4) nylon
threaded M4 studs and (4) nylon thumb nuts (Figure 9).

It is critical that the ED-4 is installed only with the supplied hardware. Other fasteners
such as stainless-steel screws are not recommended and could possibly damage the
unit (the blind tapped holes are shallow and stainless-steel screws could “jack” or
separate the housing).

• Provide sufficient harness slack [approximately 10-12 inches] so the display may
be removed for servicing.
• Leave sufficient clearance for access to the USB connection on the rear of the
display. (The USB connection is used to load software and vessel personality
files.)
• Cut and drill holes for the display.
• Screw in the nylon studs supplied to the rear case of the display (see Figure 10).
• Place the Cummins® ED4 Display in position and use the thumb nuts to secure
the unit. The thumb nuts should only be hand tight.
• Connect the harness plugs into the back housing.

Notes:
• Install the ED-4 “dry”. Do not use any type of adhesive, sealant, or caulk when
installing the ED-4. It has a built-in O-ring designed to provide a sufficient seal
against smooth mounting surfaces. For a complete waterproof seal, a custom
gasket may be installed (not provided by Cummins).
• The harness connectors (Primary and Secondary) are keyed and can only plug
into the correct connection on the ED-4.
• The ED4 is installed in the CIB from the factory and requires unique stainless-
steel fasteners that can be reused. These specific CIB fasteners have a
recommended torque value of 1.1 Nm (10 in-lb.).
• Compass safe distance is 61 cm (24 inches)

Connections
The electrical connections for the ED-4 are specific to the application. Figure 11 shows
the connections for the ED-4. The harnesses are keyed so the connectors can only be
inserted in the correct locations on the ED-4. These are Deutsch connectors and can be
disassembled without the need for special tools.

Software and VPF’s

The ED-4 ships from the factory with “blank” software and must be updated with the
most current version prior to operation. Vessel Personality Files (VPF’s or “settings
files”) are specific to each ED-4 relative to physical location and the data that may be
received/transmitted.

The VPF contains data and advanced-level system settings related to the internal
functions such as: sensor input, display messages, J1939 addresses, and NMEA 2000
(N2K) gateway details.

The VPF must be updated for each ED-4 application at initial installation by an AE,
OEM or by a technician during a service event.

All VPF’s are created by the factory group and are available on QuickServe. QuickServe
contains a variety of VPFs to satisfy different applications. It is very important that the

correct VPF is loaded on the intended ED-4. A VPF mismatch will cause errors and/or
loss of data.

Note: ED-4 display software, VPF library, VPF tracking tool, and VPF Selection Sheet
are all located on the Quickserve:

Current Software & VPF

The current display software and VPF name/version can be found in the ED-4 “About”
menu screen (Figure 13):

Figure 13: About Screen Sequence and Details

The ED-4 Display software and vessel personality file must be installed and configured
prior to operation of the display. No special tools are required to perform these updates.
The files are transferred in this order:

Quickserve -> Desktop/Laptop Computer -> USB Memory Stick -> ED-4

VPFs are available for the K-Series (KTA19, KTA38, KTA50) and QSK (QSK19,
QSK38, QSK50, QSK60) Engines. Each VPF option is dependent upon the type of
engine configuration that the ED-4 is installed for. Refer to the QSOL page for all
available VPFs.

• USB stick body size max dimensions: 16.5mm x 12.7mm (0.65” x 0.5”)
• USB Storage capacity is 500MB minimum and 64GB maximum
• FAT32 format is preferred
• USB 2.0 and 3.0 formats are supported

Notes: Not all USB memory sticks physically fit into the ED-4 housing. The actual USB
port is the standard size, but the opening in the back of the ED-4 may physically restrict
the use of some USB drives.

It is strongly advised that the AE or Technician verify in advance the compatibility of

their USB stick/ ED-4 prior to visiting an OEM. The service group released a common
USB extension cable P/N 5394862 to adapt to USB drives that do not physically fit in
the ED4 port.

Some USB Sticks are not electronically compatible with the ED-4. When this happens,
the ED-4 will not recognize and scan the USB. If the update does not install properly,
please try a USB stick from a different manufacturer.

If a USB Stick is found to cause errors, please let an AE in the Cummins Marine Group
in Charleston know the exact details about this issue (USB Stick manufacturer, model,
capacity, etc.).

Sometimes there may be trial and error involved to find a compatible USB drive
(physically and electronically).

Except for software or VPF loading events, the USB port must always be sealed with
weather cap to provide protection from the environment.
After a USB memory stick has been inserted into an ED-4, an error message may
appear every time thereafter the USB stick is connected to a Windows-based computer.
This is because the ED-4 uses a Linux kernel. Any time another operating system other
than Windows meets a USB stick, Windows will report an error the next time it is
connected. This is only a nuisance message and does not affect the functionality of the
USB stick. Click “Cancel” to ignore this message.

Figure 14: Windows Error Message

The ED-4 Software consists of a zip file that must be unpackaged either on a computer
or inside the USB stick.
For the VPF, it must be loaded in a top-level file named VPF, along with the other
software files. This is because the VPF is not part of the base software package. The
VPF(s) must be loaded into this VPF folder on the USB drive as a compressed zip file.
Up to (20) VPF’s total may be loaded into this folder.

Figure 15: ED-4 Software File Structure Example

In summary, the software files are in a zipped format on the INCAL drive and must be
unzipped prior to saving to the root directory of the USB stick. The WINZIP tool may not
function correctly and may result in partial unzipping. The standard Windows Explorer
extraction tool or WINRAR (available on Cummins Software Shelf) are recommended
for unzipping ED-4 software files. The VPF file must be stored in zipped format in a top-
level folder named VPF.
Procedure for unzipping the software package using the Windows Extractor:
1. Browse to location where the ED-4 zipped software is copied.

2. Right Click on the zipped package.

3. Select option “Open with -> Windows Explorer”. This step will launch another
window with the contents of zipped package displayed.
4. Under the “Extract” option on the right side of the “Menu” bar, select option
“Extract”.
5. Select option “Extract All” and provide a path where the unzipped software is to
be saved.
6. Click on “Extract” button.
7. As soon as the extraction process is completed, the unzipped software is
available on the path selected in Step 5.
8. This unzipped software can then be loaded onto the USB drive for the software
update procedure.
Procedure for updating software and VPF:
1. Insert USB memory stick into the rear port of the ED-4.
2. Power on the system.
3. The menu for USB options will automatically load on the ED-4 as follows (Figure 16):
"Load VPF", "Extract Logs", "Extract VPF" and "Perform Software Update".
4. Select the "Perform Software Update" and follow the instructions on the screen.
5. Once the software is upgraded to the latest version, a message will appear
requesting the operator to remove the USB Stick. Remove the USB stick.
6. Re-insert the USB stick (powered on or restarted) and select the "Load VPF" option
(Figure 17).
7. Load the specific VPF onto the corresponding ED-4.

8. Once the installation is complete, the “new” software and VPF names can be verified
through the “About” screens.

Any time the software is updated, it is recommended that the VPF is downloaded from
the ED-4 to a USB stick first, as the current VPF will be erased during the software
update. Refer to Figure 18 for the steps to save/download a VPF from the ED-4 to a
USB stick.

Once a VPF has been loaded onto a new boat, some screens that are not applicable
(port vs starboard engine, etc.) must be hidden or “toggled” off in the menu. Once these
menus have been adjusted, the next step is for AE to export this custom VPF and name
it according to the convention.

primary data screens. Group 2 has more screens for additional engine monitoring
parameters (i.e. screens for fuel parameters, intake and exhaust parameters, oil and
coolant parameters, and propulsion parameters). Each parameter in Group 2 is
organized onto a screen according to its function. Parameters in Group 2 have more
screens that include all main engine/vessel parameters plus any other SPN that is
monitored on the system. If the user only wants to see the main engine parameters,
they will disable all screens in Group 2. To disable any screens within either Group,
follow the steps under Screen Configuration (Figure 25) in this document. By default, all
available screens appear on the ED-4 until the User disables any.

By clicking the Group button (Key 2) on the ED-4, the display switches to the screens in
the next Group (Figure 21). By default, the ED-4 screen starts at the first screen in
Group 1. As with scrolling through screens using the Next button, multiple presses of
Key 2 will scroll through the available groups and eventually show Group 1 again.

Propulsion vs. Auxiliary Engines

If the ED-4 is used to monitor an MCRS auxiliary engine, then the user would disable
the screen in Group 2 titled “Propulsion”. All propulsion engine specific parameters
(throttle position, gear oil pressure, and gear oil temperature) are located on the last
screen of Group 2 for each MCRS engine VPF.

Demo Data
The ED-4 has a Demo Data mode feature. In this mode, the ED-4 broadcasts
“phantom” engine information. This function is only designed for demonstration or

Alarm and Fault Indication

The ED-4 has the capability of reporting numerous engine fault conditions reported from
the engine ECM. These faults are reported both audibly and visually. The display will
show an Alarm “Pop-up” message and a bell icon indicating an active fault or multiple
faults are present. In addition to the textual messages, an audible tone will be
simultaneously activated.

There are two types of standard alarms: Warning and Critical

The following audible alarms will be activated for fault severities as follows:
• Warning – a single instance of multiple short beeps, typically 3 short beeps
• Critical – repeating cycle of a longer constant tone (15 seconds on, 60 seconds
off)

For warning alarms, there will be a pop-up message and an audible alarm horn for 3
seconds. The pop-up message will provide a description of the fault along with
associated fault codes (Table 3)

Cummins Internal Use Only: This information is labeled per CORP-00-24-00-00.

Electronic Display ED-4 for PSBU MAB 0.15.00-08/25/2021

For critical alarms, there will be a pop-up message and a repeating audible alarm horn
cycle for 15 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF. This will be a repeating cycle until A) the
alarm is acknowledged or B) the active alarm becomes inactive. The pop-up message
will provide a description of the fault along with associated fault codes. (Table 3)

Critical alarms are classified as alarms requiring immediate action such as “Reduce
Engine Speed” or “Shut Down Engine”.

Diagnostic faults, which include maintenance and service alarms, do not appear as
standard alarms. There are no audible and active visual indications on the ED-4 with
diagnostic faults. These alarms only appear on the Advanced Alarms Screen.

The bell icon will represent the most severe active fault by color (Amber for Warning
and Red for Critical). For example: If there are ten active faults, one Critical fault and
nine Warning faults, the bell icon will appear Red in color. If all the active faults are
Warning faults, then the bell icon will appear Amber in color.

Table 3: Fault Indication

To acknowledge an alarm pop-up message and silence the audible alarm, press Key 5
or “Close”. Once an alarm pop-up message has been acknowledged by the operator,
the message will disappear.

The alarm bell lamp symbol will not disappear until 30 seconds after all faults are
inactive. The active alarm pop up message can be retrieved on the screen for review by
pressing key 4 or “Alarms”.

NOTES:

The ED-4 display also has an internal audible alarm horn that has been disabled
as it is not loud enough to meet Cummins’ requirements. Therefore, the external
horn is mandatory. The external horn is rated at 103 dB.

The alarm horn circuit is global (per engine). In other words, one display will
trigger all analog horns connected to a particular engine.

Fault codes with the FC prefix represent Cummins fault codes. During instances
in which an alarm has multiple fault codes associated with its SPN-FMI
combination, then all fault codes will be displayed in parenthesis at the end of the
fault description text. Only one fault code will appear in the fault code text section

The Request function (Key 4) inside of the Advanced Alarm feature is used to command
the inactive faults from the ECM (Figure 30). It sends out DM2/DM54 messages to
report all faults since the last enable cycle or key cycle (previously active DTCs). The
identifier on the alarm screen will change to Inactive Faults.

There are some faults on this screen that do not require any action and do not affect the
engine. These nuisance faults are masked from the fault indication on the primary
operation screens. It is recommended that customers do not view these advanced
screens without guidance from Cummins.

Electronic Display ED-4 for PSBU MAB 0.15.00-08/25/2021

1. Overview: The Remote Digital Alarm Acknowledgement feature offers the ability
to silence the audible and visual alarm with a Third-Party Multi-function display
by broadcasting a proprietary message towards the other ED-4 on the network.
This feature is useful to serve application proliferations where an ED-4 is not
available on the Helm/Bridge to acknowledge and silence an active fault
condition. The application where ED-4 is deployed as a NMEA 2000 gateway to
translate Engine & Vessel Sensor faults from J1939 to NMEA 2000 using
standard NMEA 2000 Discrete Status PGN.

2. Operation: Once a fault known to an ED-4 is activated, the ED-4 sends the
NMEA 2000 Discrete Status PGN to be interpreted by other capable NMEA 2000
Multi-function devices to display fault information to the operator, the ED-4 will
also drive an audible alarm horn. The operator may need to acknowledge or
silence the visual and audible indication of active fault condition. The Third-Party
Multi-function device can implement logic to transmit Cummins proprietary PGN
65477 (0xFFC5) towards the broadcaster of fault information i.e. ED-4 acting as
a gateway on the network. The PGN 65477 broadcast from a Third-Party Device
shall be strictly directed towards the source address ID ED-4 gateway to
successfully silence the active alarm condition. On reception of the PGN 65477,
the ED-4 will silence the audible alarm horn and the visual indication pop-up on
the ED-4 will also be closed. The receipt of this PGN 65477 will be considered by
the ED-4 as a physical alarm acknowledge function executed by an ED-4 soft
button interface. For every receipt of Cummins Alarm Acknowledgement
command, the ED-4 logs an entry to the Event Log file capturing the Device
information from where the command for acknowledgement was received.

3. Programming Dependencies: YES. Third Party Device need to program the

capability to broadcast message towards the ED-4. The device utilizing the PGN
65477 to acknowledge active fault conditions is expected to package
“Transmitting Device Industry Group”, “Transmitting Device Function” &
“Transmitting Device Class” information while transmitting the command to ED-4.
The byte level breakdown of message layout for PGN 65477 to be implemented
is available in Appendix.

communicate the vessel sensor information and a Third Party J1939 Display
device to monitor information at the Helm/Bridge.

Remote Alarm Acknowledgment

2. Operation: Once a fault from an engine or vessel sensor known to the ED-4 is
activated, the ED-4 drives an audible alarm horn and provides visual indication
on the screen. The operator may need to acknowledge or silence the visual and
audible indication of active fault condition. The Third Party J1939 Display device
can implement logic to transmit a Cummins proprietary PGN 65477 (0xFFC5)
towards the ED-4 available on the network. The PGN 65477 broadcast from
Third Party Device shall be strictly directed towards the source address of the
ED-4 gateway to successfully silence the active alarm condition. On reception of
PGN 65477, the ED-4 will silence the audible alarm horn and the visual indication
pop-up on ED-4 will also be closed. The receipt of this PGN 65477 will be
considered by the ED-4 as a physical alarm acknowledge function executed by
an ED-4 soft button interface. For every receipt of Cummins Alarm
Acknowledgement command, the ED-4 logs an entry to the Event Log file
capturing the Device information from where the command for acknowledgement
was received. For Third Party J1939 ONLY, Display Devices will need to
implement one additional logic in their native software in addition to FFC5
broadcast:
• Either request source address from devices on the network and whenever
commanded send the FFC5 to all the source address’s,
• OR request source address id from devices on the network, filter* which are
ED-4’s and whenever commanded send the FFC5 to all the ED-4 source
address id’s to silence alarm,
• OR maintain a list of all ED-4’s source address id’s broadcasted during
address claim procedure and whenever commanded send the FFC5 to list of
ED-4 source address id’s,
• OR Send the FFC5 message to preferred source address id’s 228, 229, 230
& 231 used for ED-4 CIB’s;
• OR furnish a request for Product Information from devices on the network,
filter** which are ED-4’s and whenever commanded send the FFC5 to all the
ED-4 source address id’s to silence alarm.

information while transmitting the command to ED-4. The byte level breakdown of
message layout for PGN 65477 to be implemented is available in Appendix.

NMEA 2000 (N2K) Data

The ED-4 has the capability to serve as a gateway that can translate J1939
engine/generator and fault data to N2K data (when connected to the N2K network and
loaded with the correct internal settings or vessel personality file).
This is desirable for OEM’s as this capability offers flexibility for the user to monitor
engine data and faults on third-party N2K displays (such as multi-function devices or
MFD’s). Up to 50 N2K devices can be connected to the N2K network.

N2K 12VDC positive and negative is provided only by the N2K power supply harness.

It is imperative that the termination resistors be installed correctly. The N2K network
must have one (1) termination resistor within 2 meters of each end of the backbone.
“Over termination” and “under termination” BOTH result in intermittent or failed N2K
networks.

Notes:
• Cummins does not offer MFD’s, N2K cables, resistors, T’s, etc. These
components must be provided by the OEM.
• The N2K network combines all N2K devices onto one (1) backbone. Therefore,
this system uses one (1) N2K backbone per vessel.

Multi-Function Devices (MFD)

MFD (Multi-function Display) alarm functionality (audible and visual) must be verified at
each station if an ED-4 is not installed.
For stations that do not have an ED-4 installed and only have a MFD to show engine
data and alarms, the messages can only be acknowledged through an ED-4 connected
to that engine unless an MFD capable of broadcasting a proprietary message is
installed. Please refer to the MFD set-up attachment for more details.

NMEA 2000 Gateway

The VPF contains N2K output settings related to gateway functions, but these can be
changed for specific applications. The steps to change the N2K Engine Instance
number are as follows: Menu->Configuration->Accept->Device Network Settings->Stbd
or Port->NMEA2000->NMEA2000 Gateway->Engine

Do not enable the N2K gateway at more than one ED-4 per engine.

device.

Load Equivalence Number is associated with NMEA 2000 and is broadcasted by the
ED-4 via PGN 126996 – Product Information. This parameter gets mapped related to
how much current this node on network will draw. The software assigns the value of
“LEN” as 0 currently and the ED-4 is expected to draw about 17mA at 12V.
For every 50mA, it should have a “Load Equivalency” of 1. For example, from the
specification: If a device draws 51mA to 99mA, that will correspond to a Load
Equivalency of 2.
As of now, LEN will be assigned a value of 0 and will be tracked as a change for the
next software build.
