General Operation
The Customer Communication Module (CCM) provides a communication link between the electronic control system and a host device. An operator has the capability to control the engine remotely with the host device. The operator can monitor the engine remotely. The operator can program the engine remotely. 3500B Marine applications cannot be controlled remotely.
The host device can be one of the following items:
- personal computer (PC)
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
- any other device with an RS-232C port
The host device can be connected directly to the CCM. The communication link is established with the CAT Data Link and the industry standard RS-232C cable. The host device can also be used with a modem.
If the host device is a PC, software that is compatible with the CCM is available from Caterpillar. Refer to "Caterpillar CCM PC For Windows: Getting Started Manual" for more information on the PC software.
The CCM can be used with customized software. A serial data format is used to aid in programming a PLC to communicate with the CCM. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Communication Protocol for Customized Systems".
