Publication number: 20180294892Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a generator set including an electric generator, a sensor structured to provide a diagnostic signal, a controller, a light source, and a computer readable storage medium. The controller is configured to receive the diagnostic signal, determine an information code based on the diagnostic signal, and convert the information code to a flash sequence. The light source is configured to receive and output the flash sequence. The computer readable storage medium has instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processing circuit of a mobile device including an image capturing device and a display, cause the processing circuit to capture the flash sequence with the image capturing device, translate the flash sequence into information relating to the generator set, and provide the information on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2017Publication date: October 11, 2018Applicant: Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc.Inventors: Khem Chapagain, Brian G. Haupt, Kevin Keene, Dennis McDonald

Publication number: 20100186373Abstract: An electric power system includes a genset with an electric power generator, an internal combustion engine driving the electric power generator, and an electric heating device. This device may be used to selectively regenerate an exhaust treatment subsystem and/or to otherwise selectively increase load on the engine. In one application, the system is carried by a vehicle propelled by another engine. In another application, the system is structured to provide back-up power to an AC power bus, and is typically stationary.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2009Publication date: July 29, 2010Inventors: Patrick Pierz, Brian G. Haupt, Shreyasee Kambale, Bruce A. Peterson, Dan G. Priem, Lowell K. Siewart, Karim Elayed

Patent number: 7557544Abstract: One system of the present application includes an electric power generation device structured to provide an AC electric power output at a target frequency. This device includes: an electric power generator; a sensing arrangement structured to provide samples corresponding to magnitude of the AC electric power output; and a controller including operational logic responsive to the sensing arrangement to calculate a peak amplitude as a function of a waveform period corresponding to the target frequency and two of the samples separated in time by a target duration of 20 to 30 percent of the waveform period and determine a zero crossing of the output from the peak amplitude and the target frequency. The operating logic is further structured to control operation of the device in accordance with the zero crossing.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2007Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Cummins Power Generation IP, Inc.Inventors: John E.
