New Software is now available for all Cat^® products with PL522 China system. The new software contains the following enhancements and improvements for the 376-4616 Communication Electronic Control Module (PRODUCT LINK CELLULAR, CHINA):

• Improved alerts reporting for fuel loss alerts

• Added support for software flash over Cat Data Link (CDL)

• Added support for payload reporting to Vision Link

Note: This added support only applies to assets that can report payload and have update the Radio firmware to 453-3675 Monitor Software Gp. To update the firmware to 453-3675 Monitor Software Gp or latest radio firmware, a support ticket will have to be submitted. For additional information on the assets that can report payload, refer to web page "dealer.cat.com/PL".

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 the gateway software has been downloaded and installed.

The new software part number is listed in Table 1.
