The PC-based service tools from Caterpillar provide thecapability to

access Electronic Control Modules (ECMs) from a personalcomputer.

Many job-critical tasks can be performed with an electronicservice

tool. The user can display the status of a group ofparameters

(temperatures, pressures, etc.) simultaneously, view active andclear

logged diagnostics, display the current configuration of an ECMand

much more. The service tool works with a communication adapterto

allow connection to an ECM. A graphical interface makes thissoftware

quick to learn and easy to use. A separate pull-down menu foreach

function enhances the a??ease of use.a?? The version and

identification of the ECM is automatically retrieved and isdisplayed

on a summary screen when the program is started. Diagnostictests and

calibrations can also be performed.

Caterpillar PC-based tools enable service technicians toreprogram

ECMs, reconfigure control system parameters, fine tuneperformance or

diagnose the root cause of a failure the first time. Thesepowerful

tools allow service personnel to display and analyze vitalperformance

and health information from any system quickly and accurately.The

service tool communicates with any system using ATA (J1708),J1939 or

the Caterpillar proprietary data link networks. The servicetools

provide information and features needed to help a techniciandiagnose

problems and perform repairs and to customize and personalizethe

operation of a product. By allowing customers to designflexibility

and configurability into a product, Caterpillar service toolsstretch

beyond the capabilities of preprogrammed ECMs or onboarddisplay

systems.
