Monitoring System

Usage:

MH3037 JLH


NOTICE

When the monitor provides a warning, immediately check the monitor and perform the required action or maintenance as indicated by the monitor.

The monitor indicator does not guarantee that the machine is in a good condition. Do not use the monitor panel as the only method of inspection. Maintenance and inspection of the machine must be performed on a regular basis. See the Maintenance Section of this Operation and Maintenance Manual.


Note: For additional information regarding the monitoring system, refer to System Operation, Troubleshooting, UENR5821, "MH3037 Material Handler IQAN Electronic Control System".

General Information

The Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) were designed to aid in operation of the machine.

The monitor provides many useful functions for the operator for increased work productivity and safety. Some of the features include:

  • Gauge panel and operational indicators

  • Operational machine output data

  • Work tool and hydraulic controls

  • Performance enhancement controls

  • Operational event warnings

  • Maintenance intervals and diagnostics

Master Controller and Monitor (MD3)

The machine control system consists of the following:

  • Master Controller and Monitor (MD3)

  • Master Controller (MC2)

  • Electronic Control Modules (XA2)

Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) - Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) is the operator interface unit in the machine's multi-master control system. Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) masters three CAN (Controller Area Network) busses for connection to other units. The busses support ICP (IQAN CAN Protocol) and are able to communicate with other IQAN units in this system and the Master Controller (MC2). SAE J1939 is also supported on the CAN busses and gives the ability to interface with Caterpillar ECMs and machine control panels. Four function buttons and five navigation buttons combined with a graphical display makes system feedback with user interaction possible.
The display has a high optical performance across a wide operating temperature range and over a wide range of ambient light. Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) has voltage and digital inputs and low-power digital outputs. All inputs and outputs are EMI filtered and protected against short circuit to -BAT and +BAT.

Master Controller (MC2) - The Master Controller (MC2) has inputs and outputs for control, and can communicate with IQAN masters, expansion modules or other CAN devices. In this multi-master application, the Master Controller (MC2) module is used to expand system memory and control. The IQAN Project, machine control program, resides in both the Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) and Master Controller (MC2) modules. The Master Controller (MC2) communicates with the Master Controller and Monitor (MD3) on a dedicated CAN bus MD3 CAN-A. It masters another CAN bus MC2 CAN-B for Electronic Control Module (XA2) and joystick communications.

Electronic Control Module (XA2) - The Electronic Control Module (XA2) has voltage, digital, and frequency inputs. The outputs are proportional PWM and digital. The Electronic Control Module (XA2) module communicates with the Master Control (MC2) master controller over a CAN bus MC2 CAN-B. The MH3027 is equipped with three Electronic Control Modules (XA2).
