    • Service Magazine SEPD1598, 22 April 2013, "New Software Is Now Available For Product Link 522 Systems On All Cat® Products". Discard this article. See the replacement article that follows.

    A new Product Link Software is now available for all Caterpillar Products. The new 434-5160 Communication Software Gp contains improvements and enhancements for the PL522 Systems.

    The following are the improvements and enhancements for PL522 Systems that are included in the new software:

    • Improved reporting of Service Meter Units (SMU) and Location messages.

    • Improved recording of MSS Key ID in Started/Stop messages.

    • Improved the stability of the PL522 ECM, thereby reducing the frequent occurrence of the diagnostic code CID 1250 - FMI 09.

    • In order to improve fuel and hours parameters being updated in VisionLink, perform a memory buffer clearing periodically.

    Note: Product Link request fuel and hours information from all ECM's via various data links. When all the ECMs respond, the data buffer can over flow causing the fuel and hours value to not get reported to VisionLink. In order to prevent the data over flow from occurring as frequently, periodically clear the memory buffer.

    (A) Prior to service trip, launch SIS Web and ensure that the new flash file part number is the latest flash file part number. A newer flash file part number may be available.

    Note: Additional information including a list of Product Link flash files can be found at the "Service Technician's Toolbox" web page found on dealer.cat.com. Product Link website - https://dealer.cat.com/pl.

    (B) Before using Communications Adapter 3 (CA3), make sure that the PC drivers and CA3 firmware have been updated. CA3 news, drivers, and firmware are available at "https://dealer.cat.com".

    (C) The new software is flashed onto the Module using "WinFlash". Always use the latest version of Caterpillar Electronic Technician for the optimal machine software support.

    Note: To obtain the full benefit of the improvement, both the radio and the gateway software must be flashed. It is important to submit a field support case to have the radio flashed over the air after flashing the Gateway.
