Glossary of Electrical Terms

SMCS - 7494

Active - This pertains to the status of a fault or to the status of a service code. When the fault is active, the fault is currently
present.

Alert Indicator - An alert indicator is a red indicator lamp. The alert indicator is located on the top portion of the monitoring
system display. The alert indicator notifies the operator of an abnormal condition. When only the alert indicator is illuminated, a
Warning Category 1 is indicated.

+Battery - This pertains to any of the harness wiring which is part of the circuit that connects to the + battery post.

Cat data link - The Cat data link is an electrical connection for communication with onboard devices that use the Data Link
(ECM, CMS, VIMS, electronic power train, electronic dashboards and service tools such as Caterillar Electronic Technician).
The Cat data link is also the medium that is used for programming with Caterpillar service tools and for troubleshooting with
Caterpillar service tools.

Clear - This refers to removing diagnostic information from the memory of the ECM. Before clearing a diagnostic code, the
diagnostic code must be on hold and the diagnostic code must be inactive.

Component Identifier (CID) - A CID is a code that is used to identify a particular component.

Connector Contact - A connector contact is the component that actually makes the electrical connection between the harness
connector and another connector plug.

Detected Fault - This is a fault that has been found by the ECM. The fault is recorded and diagnostic information is available in
the service mode.

Diagnostic - This pertains to the monitoring of information that is abnormal and/or the recording of information that is abnormal.
Diagnostic information can be accessed from the service, the status, the tattletale or the numeric readout mode.

Diagnostic Code - This is a code which describes a problem in a system.

Digital Sensors - Digital sensors produce PWM signal (duty cycle signal). These sensors are powered from a power supply of 8
to 28 DCV.

Digital Signal - This signal is a PWM signal (duty cycle) that has a variable width and a constant amplitude. Also see "Pulse
Width Modulation (PWM)".

Display - Display refers to the gauges, the indicators, or the readouts within the Caterpillar Monitoring System display area.

Fault - A fault is a failure of a component in an electronic system. An FMI and a CID identify the type of fault.

Flash Programming - This is a means of reprogramming the personality module in the ECM without needing to replace the
module.

Failure Mode Identifier (FMI) - An FMI is a diagnostic code that identifies the type of failure that has occurred. The FMI
consists of two digit code which is preceded by a decimal point ".". This code is shown on the display area when the main
display module is in service mode.

Fuse - A fuse is a replaceable safety device for an electrical circuit.

Ground - A ground is any part of a wiring circuit that accidentally touches a part of the machine frame.

Grounded Circuit - A grounded circuit is a connection of any electrical unit to any part of the machine. In a grounded circuit,
the electrical circuit is completed to the power source.

Harness - A harness is the bundle of wiring that connects components in the system.

Harness Code - The harness code provides the characteristics of the machine such as the size of the engine, idle speed, tire size
and attachments. The message display uses the data link to provide the harness code to the implement ECM.

Hertz (Hz) - Hz is a measurement of frequency in cycles per second.

Hold - When in service mode, diagnostic information is displayed on the digital display. This diagnostic information that is
being displayed can be frozen. The diagnostic information must be on hold before troubleshooting or clearing.

Indicator - An indicator is any of the items within the Caterpillar Monitoring System display area which operate in an ON,
FLASHING or OFF manner in order to bring attention to a machine condition.

Jumper - A jumper is a piece of wire that is used to make an electrical connection during troubleshooting.

Machine Code - The machine code is a two-digit number. The machine code is assigned to a particular harness code for a
particular machine by the ECM. Each sales model has a specific harness code.

Machine Service Connector - This is a socket that is used to connect a service tool to the onboard electronic systems such as the
implement ECM or the power train ECM. The machine service connector is mounted on the machine and the Cat data link is
used for the connection.

Module Identifier (MID) - An MID is a diagnostic code that identifies the ECM which diagnosed the fault. The two-digit code
is displayed in the message area of the message display when the machine is in the service mode.

Ohm - An ohm is the standard unit for measuring resistance to the flow of electrical current.

Open Circuit - If an electrical wire or a connection is broken, the flow of electrical current through the circuit is interrupted.

Present - This pertains to the status of a fault or to the status of a service code. When a fault is present, the fault is currently
active.

Scroll - When you scroll through information in the display area, all available sets of diagnostic information are shown by one
set at a time. A set of diagnostic information is shown briefly. Then, the display automatically advances to the next set. After all
sets have been shown, the sets are repeated.

Sensor - A sensor is a device that measures conditions such as pressure, temperature, or movement. This information is sent as
an electrical signal that can be interpreted by the ECM.

Service Code - A service code describes a condition in an electrical control system. This code is stored in the control for the
service technician.

Short Circuit - If one part of a circuit contacts another part of the same circuit, the flow is diverted from the desired path.

Signal - This pertains to the condition of the control inputs that are sent to the ECM. A ground signal has continuity with the
frame ground. An open signal is not connected to the frame ground and the voltage is approximately 5 DCV. A +battery signal is
at the same voltage as the battery (25 to 30 DCV).

Signal Wire - The signal wire is the harness wire that connects a sensor or the harness wire that connects a switch to the ECM.

Signal Wire - The signal wire is the harness wire that connects the sensor or the switch to the ECM.

Solenoid - A solenoid is a coil that is used to produce a magnetic field. The solenoid usually performs some type of mechanical
work.

Supply Voltage - Supply voltage is a constant voltage that is supplied to a component in order to provide electrical power for the
operation of the component. Supply voltage may be generated by the ECM. Also, supply voltage may be battery voltage that is
supplied by machine wiring.

Switch Input - Switch input is any ECM input which is expecting a ground signal, an open signal or a +battery signal.

System Voltage - System voltage is the actual voltage that exists between the + battery post and the frame ground. System
voltage is also known as +battery voltage.

Undetected Fault - This is a fault that is not detected by the main display module, but the fault is found by the operator or by a
service technician. The many diagnostic functions of the main display module assist with the troubleshooting of undetected
faults.

Wiring Harness - A wiring harness is the bundle of individual wires that form an electrical circuit.
