320D3 and 323D3 Monitoring System Caterpillar


General Information

Usage:

320D3 ESX
The monitoring system is an input and an output of the Machine Control System. The Machine Control System communicates back and forth on the CAN Data Link. The monitoring system informs the operator of the status of the machine. The monitoring system graphic display allows the operator to view information that pertains to machine functions. Refer to the illustration below.

The monitoring system displays various warnings and information about the condition of the machine. In default mode, the monitor displays 3 gauges and engine speed information. Each gauge is dedicated to a parameter within a machine system.

The gauges receive information from sensors or senders that are connected to the machine ECM. The Machine ECM uses the information from each sensor to calculate a value which is communicated over the data link and displayed as a gauge.

The monitoring system provides the user access to the following functions:

  • Interpret status information

  • Interpret parameters

  • View service intervals

  • Perform calibrations

  • Troubleshoot machine systems

When conditions warrant, some fault or event messages are displayed on the monitor.

The alert indicators notify the operator of an abnormal condition in a machine system. The monitor uses information programmed into the Machine ECM to determine when an abnormal condition is present. The Machine ECM sends a message to the monitoring system display. The monitoring system displays a pop-up alert indicator for the machine system with the abnormal condition.

Action Lamps (1)

The action lamps illuminate to show that a problem has occurred with the machine. The left action lamp will illuminate amber when a Level 2 is active. The right action lamp will flash red when a Level 3 warning is active.

Warning Display Area (2)

Hydraulic Oil Temperature - This gauge indicates the temperature of the hydraulic oil. The normal operating range is the green range. If the gauge reaches the red range, reduce the load on the system. If the gauge stays in the red range, stop the machine and investigate the cause of the problem.

Hydraulic Lockout - This gauge indicates whether the hydraulic lockout control lever is in the Locked position or in the unLocked position.

"ENGINE OIL PRESS LOW" - The engine oil pressure is low. Stop the machine and check the engine oil level. If the engine has started in the cold ambient, warm up the machine properly. If the error disappears after warm-up, there is no engine oil pressure trouble.

Engine Coolant Temperature - This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. The normal operating range is the green range. If the gauge reaches the red range, stop the machine and investigate the cause of the problem.

"WATER SEPARATOR FULL" - The water separator is full. Drain the water from the water separator as soon as possible. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Water Separator - Drain".

"INTAKE AIR FILTER PLUGGED" - The air filter is restricted. Engine output will be decreased. Immediately inspect the air filter. Clean the air filter. Inspect the condition of the air filter. Replace the air filter, if necessary. Perform any necessary repairs. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Air Filter Primary Element - Clean/Replace".

Coolant Temperature Gauge (3)

Indicates the machine coolant temperature. The exact temp can be found in the performance information.

Fuel Level Gauge (4)

Indicates the fuel level in the tank. The exact percentage can be found in the performance information.

Battery Voltage Indication (5)

Indicates the machine battery level. The exact percentage can be found in the performance information.

Monitoring Display (6)

The monitoring system display is located in the front operator console.

The monitoring system display monitors the machine operations, diagnostic events, and modes of operation. The monitoring system display is used to change the preferred operator inputs and operation parameters. This exercise allows additional means for the operator to increase machine efficiency.

Key Pad (7)

The keypad has six keys that are used in order to input information into the electronic monitoring system.
