Perkins EST 2015 description of the catalogue:

Perkins EST dealer diagnostic tool Perkins engines.

EST is comprised of a hardware and software (The Integrated Parts and Service System or “TIPSS”) interface kit, which a user can use to communicate with Perkins’ 2300/2800 electronic engines (FG Wilson 300 – 750 KVA range) and FG Wilson Powerwizard control panels. This communication is established via a J1939 data link. All in all, the EST interface kit provides the user with an effective tool in diagnosing engine problems and the ability of configuring system parameters.

Perkins Example

EST enables the user to:
Override Powerwizard level three passwords
Configure and/or change system parameters
Display, graph and record logs of parameter status
Display the status of a group of parameters (temperatures, pressures, etc)
View and clear active and logged diagnostic codes
View and clear active and logged event codes
Display, view or change the current Configuration File or Base level Flash File
Upload, download and save configuration files
View a list of irregularities logged by the ECM (engine control module)
Perform diagnostic tests
Perform calibrations
Print reports and diagnostic results.

Why should an FG Wilson dealer invest in the Electronic Service Tool?
It provides the technician with an essential tool by facilitating the troubleshooting of electronic engines. “As a matter of opinion, troubleshooting an electronic engine without EST is like troubleshooting an electrical panel without a multimeter” – Alex Cabrices FGW Latin America Caribbean Service Advisor
Essential in replacing an ECM on a Perkins’ 2300/2800 series engine. A blank ECM can only be configured using EST.
Essential in replacing or retrofitting an FG Wilson Powerwizard control panel module - the new standard in FG Wilson control systems. A blank module can only be configured using EST (installing the base flash file into a blank Powerwizard module).
Enables the dealer to upload, download and save customer configuration files.
Allows bypassing Powerwizard level three passwords.
Enables dealers to update the software versions of customer’s Powerwizard control panels, as required. New software releases can enhance the control panel’s functionality.
Enables dealers to install additional Powerwizard language files, as required.

What special tools or equipment do I need?
You will need a laptop computer with either a USB or serial port and Windows 2000 or XP. Please keep in mind that EST is fairly demanding on the CPU; hence, the slower the processor, the slower the program will run.
