CAES ULTRA (S/N: 2TZ1-UP)

New Product Link (PL) Software is now available. This new software includes many new enhancements.

The new 311-8377 Communication Software Gp Product Link 121 software replaces the former 293-8340 Communication Software Gp Product Link Software.

The new 311-8375 Communication Software Gp Product Link 300 software replaces the former 294-5804 Communication Software Gp Product Link Software.

Product Link 121 Software Enhancements

PL121 SMH Reset - This software enhances the Product Link Service Meter. The changes help reduce the possibility of SMH value corruption by utilizing an advanced redundant SMH storage method.

PL121 Automatic Registration - This enhancement will automatically send a registration message if the PL121SR system software is re-flashed. The automatic registration will update the software part number displayed by EquipmentManager.

PL121 Geo-fence Functionality - Two enhancements have been made to geo-fence functionality. The first enhancement will more effectively utilize the begin/end time of the geo-fence functionality. The second enhancement will change geo-fence alarms to include the location and timestamp.

PL121 / PL300 Minimum Location Change - This enhancement will add the ability to configure the "Minimum Location Change". Configuring this parameter to a value of 0 meters will allow Product Link to send a position report regardless of machine movement.

PL121 / PL300 Missed Scheduled Report - This enhancement will change the "Missed Scheduled Standard Message & Position Report" to report the missed message correctly.

PL121 / PL300 Power Mode 3 timeout - This enhancement will change the time for entering into "Power Mode 3" from the current 10 days to 7 days for both the PL121 and PL321.

Product Link 300 Software Enhancements

PL300 Self Diagnostic - The 1250-9 service code reflecting a short loss of communications between the PL121 and PL300 modules has been modified. This enhancement will ensure that the 1250-9 Self-Diagnostic does not appear mistakenly during sub-module flashing.

PL300 Automatic Registration: - This enhancement will automatically send a registration message if the PL121 radio is replaced.

PL300 Default Event Internal - This enhancement will change the default event interval from 20 hours to 4 hours thus allowing more frequent updates of Events & Diagnostics.

PL300 Sync Clock Block - This enhancement will allow OTA SMH Adjustments when Sync Clock is not active on-board.

PL300 Maintenance Mode Timer: - This enhancement will properly disable "Maintenance Mode" after the 12-hour calendar timer has expired.

PL300 Start/Stop Time Accuracy - This enhancement will properly record the "Machine Start/Stop Time" records.

System Requirements

The latest version of Cat ET (2007A v1.1) is recommended to fully utilize these enhancements.

Note: The registration process and Cat ET screens have been enhanced. Refer to Systems Operation, Troubleshooting and Testing & Adjusting, RENR7911 for details.
