Bluetooth Operator ID and Machine Security System (MSS) Caterpillar


General Information

Usage:

320 GC BR4
The Cat Machine Security System (MSS) discourages unwanted operation of a machine. When armed, the MSS requires operator login to start the engine. The following methods of operator login to disarm the security system are available:

  • Cat Bluetooth key fob

  • Cat App: Fleet management

  • Passcode

Note: The Cat® MyEquipment application is no longer supported. For more information, refer to Special Instruction, M0105111, "myEquipment to Cat App: Fleet Management Transition Guide".

Bluetooth connections
(1) Cat Bluetooth key fob (CATBTFOB)
(2) Cat App: Fleet management mobile application
(3) Cat Bluetooth transceiver module (CATBTNT)

The Cat Bluetooth key fob (1) contains an electronic chip. The electronic chip has a unique identification number (ID). A Cat Bluetooth transceiver is mounted in the cab to read the ID of the key. The transceiver module translates the information received from the key fob into a J1939 message. This message is sent to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) that is connected to MSS. This ECM is typically the Machine ECM. The ECM is set up with the ID of the keys of the intended users.

When the MSS is armed, the ECM validates the ID of the key fob. If the key ID is on the list of authorized keys in the ECM and the key is valid, the machine will operate normally. If the key ID is not on the ECM list of authorized keys or not valid, the MSS will keep the critical machine functions disabled.

Note: A Bluetooth enabled phone can disarm MSS if the phone is on the list. Operator Management System (OMS) is necessary to be able to add phones to the vehicle ID list. After the phone is added, OMS is no longer needed for the Cat App: Fleet management mobile application to function as a valid key.

If the MSS is not installed, the operator can skip the login and the machine will operate normally.
