Q. What do you love most about your job and why? A. I'm only 3 months in and I've gotten to complete multiple harness designs, one of which was pretty complicated, and I've also done a lot of different types of programming. This kind of experience and independence is exceptional for an internship and is something I'm really glad to get out of my experience here.

While MurCal has been an active participant in the Diesel Progress Summit since its inception in 2019, including being part of the judging process for 2 of the years, it was not until they added a new category that we felt we should see if we can win an award.

For over 25 years, Egis Mobile Electric has been providing the highest quality motor vehicle electrical products and customer support. Their products provide safe, dependable electrical power and battery protection technology for marine applications, emergency and municipal fleet vehicles, and other specialty vehicles. MurCal is proud to be a distributor of their products and one of their latest acclaimed lines.

n 2012, MTU Solutions discontinued selling the HV1000-MTUJ. This Engine Display Model was designed for instrumentation and monitoring on electronically controlled engines communicating using SAE J1939 and NMEA 2000. It was a multifunction tool that enabled marine operators to view many different engine or transmission parameters and service codes and could support up to four engines. Unfortunately, when they stopped producing it, they left Boat/Yacht owners including the US Navy with no easy replacement offering.

Pyrometers are remote-sensing thermometers used to measure the temperature of distant objects based on their incandescence, which is emitted by hot objects. The word pyrometer comes from two Greek words: pyr, meaning fire, and meter, meaning measure.

This Week We Talked To MurCal’s Director John Murphy, Who Has Worked Here For Nearly 62 Years And Succeeded His Parents, Who Founded The Company, When They Retired.

The Murphy PowerCore MPC-10 Controller is a general, all-purpose manual/auto start and manual/ auto throttling engine controller. This is a powerful controller that supports J1939 CAN protocols for electronically governed engines as well as I/O for mechanical engines for fault and safety shutdowns.

The term solenoid was coined in 1823 by André-Marie Ampère, a French physicist, mathematician and lay catholic who was one of the founders of the science of classical electromagnetism, which he referred to as "electrodynamics". “Solen” in Greek means channel or pipe, which is why he named it Solenoid. Ampère was an autodidact and professor at the École polytechnique and Collège de France, as well as a member of the French Academy of Sciences. The ampere, a SI unit of electric current measurement, is named after him. The Eiffel Tower also features his name among its 72 inscriptions.

Every month from now on, we will highlight someone in our staff that display our Core Values of "Cure What Ails Them", "Be Lean" and "Be Reliable".

We have chosen to support two methods of differential communications. One method is fail-safe biasing of the RS-485 port and the other is SAE’s J1708 Serial Communications between microcomputer systems in heavy-duty vehicle applications. This document is intended to aid you in sharing the data bus with Murphy Controllers.

To get the most out of any control panel, don’t overload the circuits and always use the proper wire for the signal being measured or current load required.

Continuous supply of power is very crucial in any industry, as just a few minutes of power loss could result in considerable damage. Increasing technology innovation has created huge demand for battery chargers that can withstand the need.

The TEC-10 is an electronic controller which provides full control of your engine including auto start/stop, auto throttling and display of engine parameters along with critical faults from the engine/application.
