Payload Monitor (Scoreboard)

Illustration 1 g02243117
Large truck scoreboard
Note: The first digit of the large truck scoreboard will always have the value of "1" unless the load is less than 100. If the load is less than 100, only
the last two digits will be displayed.

The payload monitor is designed to operate with any standard VIMSTM or TPMS system to display the payload weight. The weight is derived from
the truck payload system and is displayed in English tons or Metric tons.

If the payload monitor is to be used with a telemetry system, some special care should be taken. The payload monitor that is directly connected to
the VIMS system must have "transmit" disabled to allow the telemetry system to communicate with VIMS. The payload monitor, which is directly
connected to VIMS, must be in high impedance mode so as not to load the VIMS transmit signal. "Switch 9 OFF" disables the payload monitor
transmit. "Switch 10 OFF" puts the payload monitor in high impedance mode to share the telemetry port.

Operating conditions at the time of the failure

Sequence of events prior to the failure

Troubleshooting steps that have been taken

Inspect the machine for problems and unusual odors or noises.

Research machine records for:

Machine preventive maintenance history

Machine repair history

Related specific serial number service information

Duplicate the symptom.

Operate the machine. Repeat the conditions that caused the failure.

Check the gauges. Look for unusual indications.

Determine possible causes. Determine if an electronic control module (ECM) has detected any faults.

Use the information from the operator and your inspection. If there is more than one symptom, identify a common cause.

Use the tests and procedures in this manual to verify the failure. Repair the failure.

Test the system again to verify that the problem is resolved.

Provide feedback to Caterpillar®. Use the form in the Service Information System (SIS) web site or Component-Based Troubleshooting (CBT).
Write a brief description about the symptom, testing, and repair. Include your phone number or e-mail address so you can be contacted. This
feedback helps Caterpillar improve service information.

Operating Hours Discrepancy

There are problems that can be both caused and reported by Product Link. The problem is described as "A discrepancy of the service meter units".
Product Link depends on several communication links to transfer data from the machine to the office. The following procedures assume that these
communication links are operating properly. The requirements for proper communication are:

The VHF communication satellite network is operational for the geographic area

Product Link is correctly configured to communicate on the VHF communications network

Dependencies
The Payload system works based following dependencies:
Inertial Measurements Unit (IMU)
The payload system uses data from the IMU to determine when the machine is traveling in a stable enough condition to proceed with the
calculation of the Rolling Payload. If the IMU is not present or if there is a fault in any of the IMU channels, then the system will set the IMU
channels to zero and may incorrectly assume a stable condition which would cause the payload calculation to be inaccurate.

The payload system does not require a specific brand or type of IMU be installed. The system expects to receive from the IMU or from the system
managing the IMU a measurement of fore-aft acceleration, machine yaw rate, and the machine pitch or inclination angle.

The payload system expects the fore-aft acceleration to be a measurement of the overall rate of change of the machine speed, representative of
power being applied by the engine to accelerate the machine or by the brakes to slow the machine down. Oscillations in fore-aft acceleration that
occur in ranges above ~1 Hz, from machine pitching, uneven ground, or engine vibration for example, are not expected to influence the payload
calculation and thus should be removed from the signal before the value is used to help determine the stable travel condition.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The payload system does not use the GPS signal for the calculation of the payload. If a GPS receiver is configured on the machine, then the GPS
location of the machine is included in the segment data that is recorded during each haul cycle.

Input Signal Sample Rate

The primary inputs for the payload system are the strut pressure signals. Changes to the strut pressure values from machine motion at an
amplitude that would affect the payload calculation during a haul cycle typically occur in the 0.75 to 2 Hz range of frequencies. Other inputs,
including the machine speed, filtered IMU channels, and body angle, tend to change at an equal or lower rate than the strut pressures. Thus, in
order to capture and effectively filter the relevant changes to truck load and motion for accurate payload calculation, the system must receive input
signals at least once every 50 milliseconds (20 Hz).

Note: Lower amplitude axle motions, which may have a small effect on payload accuracy in highly dynamic conditions, can occur at frequencies up
to 10 Hz.

ECM
The payload system ECM is shown as the VIMS Application ECM in the System Interface Diagram and may also be referred to as the Advanced
Productivity ECM.

For the same reasons used to define the Input Signal Sample Rate above, the ECM upon which the payload system is installed can execute the
TPMS II code at least once every 50 milliseconds.

The payload system ECM is responsible for reading and managing the four strut pressure sensors. The payload system ECM should also be able
to interface with the payload system external scoreboard and status lamps.

The TPMS II code does not require a real-time operating system to function correctly.

Non-Volatile Memory
The payload code will write enough information to non-volatile memory to retain user settings and to allow the system to restart an ongoing cycle
after power loss without losing information previously collected about the cycle. Information to retain in memory includes but is not limited to:

Loading Location

Final Payload

Pass Count

Rolling Payload Locked State

Final GMW

Cycle Totals

Lifetime Totals

Telematics
TPMS II does not require Telematics to function.
