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.
