MINEGEM Machine Control ; Guidance Products Local Area Radio Network Caterpillar

In order to follow this procedure:

• Confirm the fault condition exists

• Identify the conditions that may generate the fault

• Eliminate faults in order of the general cause

Note: In general, faults are caused by problems in the following order: physical damage, environmental damage, harness failure, component failure and Electronic Control Module (ECM) failure.

Perform the following:

• Set up the Automation Operator Station and locate and sponsor a machine.

ReferenceFor more information on setting up the Automation Operator Station, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Setting Up for Operation".

ReferenceFor more information on locating and sponsoring a machine, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Preparing for Operation".

The system diagnostic procedure determines the cause of no communications to a new, recently repaired or modified machine. The system diagnostic procedure applies to a machine that has not been used with MINEGEM for a period. The error could be caused by:

• Machine components incorrectly or not configured in the configuration database

• A fault in the machine onboard radio or associated wiring and antennas

• A fault in the Local Area Radio Network (LARN) including radios, wiring, or antennae

• A fault in the machine Automation ECM or associated wiring

• A software fault in the Automation ECM

Test Step 1. Open the Site Server Computer Web Page.

Home screen. Typical example.

1. From the operator console open a web browser and go to the site server computer web page at http://10.10.0.1/.

Expected Result:

Site server computer web page opens and displays the home screen.

Results:

• YES - Site server computer web page opens and displays the home screen. Proceed to Test Step 2.

• NO - Site server computer web page fails to open and displays an error. The error indicates that there is probably a fault with the operator console, site server, network, or power supply.

  Repair: Check that site server computer web page fails to open and displays an error. Refer to Troubleshooting, Testing, and Adjusting, "Site Server - Test" in this manual.

  STOP

Typical example (2) "Machine" table (3) "AECM" table (4) "Front LADAR ICM" table (5) "Rear LADAR ICM" table (6) "Onboard Radio" table

2. In "Machine" table (2) check the configuration for the new machine. Check the machine configuration from "AECM" table (3), "Front LADAR ICM" table (4), "Rear LADAR ICM" table (5) and "Onboard Radio" table (6) serial numbers or IP addresses.

Expected Result:

Machine listed with correct "AECM", "Front LADAR ICM", "Rear LADAR ICM" and "Onboard Radio" serial numbers or IP addresses.

Results:

• YES - Machine listed with correct "AECM", "Front LADAR ICM", "Rear LADAR ICM", and "Onboard Radio" serial numbers or IP addresses.

  Repair: Check machine communication. Refer to Troubleshooting, Testing, and Adjusting, "Communications to Operating Machine - Test" in this manual.

  STOP

• NO - Machine listed but "AECM", "Front LADAR ICM", "Rear LADAR ICM", and "Onboard Radio" missing or incorrect.

  Repair: Add or correct the configuration. Refer to Machine Automation System (MAS) Troubleshooting, Testing, and Adjusting, "Onboard Radio - Configure".Retest the machine.

  STOP

• NO - Machine not listed

  Repair: Add the machine and configure in "AECM" table (3), "Front LADAR ICM" table (4), "Rear LADAR ICM" table (5) and "Onboard Radio" table (6). Refer to Machine Automation System (MAS) Troubleshooting, Testing, and Adjusting, "Onboard Radio - Configure".Retest the machine.
