Thisinformation is also aimed at machine operators who will be using Advisor in operating these machines.

CONTENT

This presentation describes the components and the operation of the Caterpillar Monitoring and DisplaySystem with Advisor, for Track-type Tractors. Identification of the components, communication betweenthe components, and usage of Advisor and the in-dash instrument cluster will also be discussed.

OBJECTIVES

After learning the information in this presentation, the serviceman will be able to:1. locate and identify all of the major components of the Caterpillar Monitoring and Display System;2. identify all of the switches, the sensors, the senders, the solenoids, and all of the other inputs to

and the outputs from these sub-systems to the Caterpillar Monitoring and Display System;3. explain the operation of each component in the Caterpillar Monitoring and Display System;4. navigate through the various screens of Caterpillar Advisor; and5. view systems status information, edit parameters, perform calibrations, and troubleshoot major

machine systems using Caterpillar Advisor.

1INTRODUCTION

This presentation discusses the new Caterpillar Monitoring and DisplaySystem (CMDS) with Advisor. This presentation also identifies all ofthe hardware components and the software that make up the system andall of its sub-systems. CMDS with Advisor is a direct replacement for theprevious Caterpillar Monitoring System and the Vital Information DisplaySystem (VIDS) used in previous Track-type Tractor models.

CMDS with Advisor, is the new standard system used in the D8T, theD9T, and the D10T Track-type Tractors.

The information in this presentation covers the location, the identification,and the operation of the components in the Caterpillar Monitoring andDisplay System. Also discussed are the means of navigating through thevarious screens of the Caterpillar Advisor, how to view systems statusinformation, how to view parameters, how to perform calibrations, andhow to troubleshoot major machine systems using Caterpillar Advisor.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS IDENTIFICATION

The Caterpillar Monitoring and Display System (CMDS) continuouslymonitors all machine systems. CMDS consists of both software andhardware components. The hardware components consist of theCaterpillar Advisor Graphical Display Module and its self-containedElectronic Control Module (ECM), an in-dash Instrument Cluster, theEngine ECM, the Implement ECM, the Power Train ECM, the ActionAlarm, the Rear Action Lamp, and various switches, sensors, and senders.If the machine is so equipped, the CMDS may also include connections toa Product Link ECM, a Computer Aided Earthmoving System (CAES)and the AccuGrade System and its components.

The CMDS components communicate with each other and with electroniccontrols on the machines attachment components (if equipped) throughData Links.

CAT Data Link

The CMDS uses the following Data Links:

CAT Data Link: This two wire Data Link allows two-waycommunication between Advisor and any machine ECM. It also supportstwo-way communication between ECMs and two-way communicationsbetween Advisor, all ECMs, and Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET).(Example: Communications for machine component calibrations, events,and data used by Advisor for its display screens.)

CAN Data Links: Up to four, two-wire CAN (Controller Area Network)Data Links are used for high-speed data transfer. These four data linksare:

- CAN A Data Link is the primary link used for bi-directional highspeed data transfer between machine ECMs. (Example: Enginespeed data transfer between the Engine ECM and the Power TrainECM).

- CAN B Data Link is used exclusively for high speedcommunication between the Implement ECM and a DynamicInclination Sensor, if the machine is equipped with attachmentsthat require data from this component.

- CAN C Data Link is used exclusively for bi-directional high speeddata transfer between Caterpillar Advisor and the in-dashInstrument Cluster.

- CAN D Data Link is only present if the machine is equipped withNavigator and is used only for communication between Navigatorand the other components in that system.

Advisor constantly monitors all of the ECMs, the alternator R-Terminal,system input voltage, and the fuel level sensor (or sender). Advisortransmits the monitored data to the in-dash Instrument Cluster andactivates its mode and alert indicators, its displays, and its gauges. Thisinformation may also be accessed and displayed on Advisors screens.Instructions for accessing these display screens will be discussed later inthis presentation.

Advisor is used to monitor and display operating characteristics,diagnostics and events, system operational totals, and modes of operation.It is also used to view and change operator preferences and parameters,much like the VIDS system in the previous D10R Track-type Tractor.

Advisor features

Advisor also allows the serviceman to troubleshoot and adjust machinesystems by:

- viewing and clearing logged events and diagnostic codes (only Level I & II fault codes may be cleared with Advisor);

- viewing system and components status and parameters; and- performing calibrations to steering, implements, and the power train.

NOTE: Advisor directly monitors the fuel level sensors (fuel level sender,in the D8T), the alternator R-Terminal, and its own system voltage, alongwith all of the ECMs on the machine. Diagnostics and/or decisions fordisplays, alerts, and signals to the Instrument Cluster are contained in thesoftware in the Advisor ECM.
