Volvo Penta Development VODIA V 5.2.50

Electronic diesel control for industry engines

Volvo Penta now offers electronic diesel control for its 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-liter industrial engines for all types of applications. The system known as EDC 4 is a refinement of Volvo Penta’s Electronic Diesel Control. EDC 4 is available in two designs. The first design is suited for installation in vehicle systems using CAN-Bus technology according to the J1939 standard. The other is regulated with a traditional potentiometer and is suitable for installation in applications with mechanical control.

EDC 4 offers major possibilities to adapt each engine after the application’s requirements. Volvo Penta, or the customers themselves, can simply adjust a number of different parameters.

VODIA – common tool for all engines

Volvo Penta is launching VODIA, a new tool for diagnosis and service. VODIA looks like a handheld computer and is very easy to use. Data and results from all tests, fault detection, diagnoses etc, are presented in text and clear graphics that the tool can secure from the engine. VODIA can also be used to adjust a number of parameters in the engine.

VODIA functions well with all of Volvo Penta’s electronic engines, gas or diesel and regardless of engine control system. This constitutes a major advantage for service shops, which now only need one tool, regardless of the engine model.
