Illustration 1g06139197
PLE702 Network Manager.

The Product Link PLE702 is the Product Link Network Manager. The Network Manager is initially set up by using a computer with the Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) software. The PLE702 is designed for use with the PL641 cellular radio or PL042 cellular radio. To use the new Product Link features, update to the latest version of Cat ET.

Input/Output

PLE702 uses the Cat Datalink® and the CAN/J1939 data link to communicate with other electronic control modules.

The module identifier (MID) for the PLE702 Network Manager is the number 190. The inputs to the Product Link PLE702 are listed in Table 1 for the three 44-pin connectors.
