Programming – Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate

Description:
The Idle/PTO Ramp Rate parameter defines how many rpm the engine will change in one second when in Idle Mode or Dedicated PTO Mode. This parameter determines Accel, Decel and Resume Idle or PTO Engine rpm rates of increase/decrease. Notice that the parameter applies to both idle control (rpm set using cruise control On/Off and Set/Resume switches) and PTO control (rpm set using PTO On/Off and Set/Resume switches)

Available:
All electronically controlled on-highway engines covered in this handbook

Range:

Advantages:
Setting the Idle/PTO Ramp Rate can help reduce work cycle time by reducing the time it takes to get the engine up to the preferred RPM.

Disadvantages:
Setting an Idle/PTO Ramp Rate too high could accelerate the failure of some PTO attachments.

Recommendations:
This programmable feature is application dependent and should be programmed based on customer specific requirements.
