9. Connect Radio(s)

31
8. ET Checks and ET-Configuration.

• Switch back to Commadapter 2 or 3 (CAN and CDL)
• Check individually for proper CAN and CDL comm.
• Check for R-term input (engine running): CAN or 403 wire
• Finally Set up the ‘Product Id’ in Configuration screen

32
8.a. Check for proper CAN & CDL connections
Unclicked !!!
If A5N2,
verify it shows up
in both CDL and CAN

33
8.b. Check for R-Term input through CAN or 403- wire:

34
8.c. Finally configure the ‘Product Id’ in ET Config screen

either for the A5N2 (Elite) or for the Radio (Pro)
•The Telematics ‘Product ID’ default is “CAT00000” .

•If changed, the PLE601 (Elite) or the PL6x1 (Pro)
will automatically generate a new registration message.
•Along with the new registration message,
the equipment will be subscribed in the User Interface
based of the entered ‘Product ID’.

Modbus
• Modbus® is an openly published serial communications
protocol developed by Modbus with widespread use in
industry. This protocol is commonly used over RS-232, RS-
485, and Modbus TCP/IP networks. The RS-232, and RS-
485 version is a master/slave protocol, whereas the
TCP/IP version is a peer-to-peer protocol. The strengths of
this protocol are simplicity and low implementation cost.
• It has become an industry standard method for the transfer

of discrete/analog I/O information and register data
between industrial control and monitoring devices (PLC)

Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet connection 50
1. Connect Ethernet converter 419-5974 Adapter

to the 6-pin connector (port #3) on the Network Manager
2. Connect the Ethernet cable between Port #3 and your laptop
3. ‘Detect Ethernet Devices’ & open up PL-Interface (http://165.26.78.1/)
then click “Industrial Bus” tab.
4. Click the table to edit the listening ports for Modbus TCP.

A5N2 Network Config: Modbus, Port #3. 51
Never configure Port #3 in range of Service-Port #4
Never remove these 2 opportunities

for future Over-The-Air flashing
Good example above

• From a web browser window, navigate to the Product Link

web page of he ECM
• Click on the "Modbus Config" tab, and then select "Modbus
RTU Config" from the left-hand menu.

Dual Antenna Installation (See REHS8850)
• Information now added in REHS

• Look for “Dual-Mode” with search function
• Kits now available for Upgrading Engines- & Machines:
– E.g. 455-5563 to upgrade a PLE631 to dual
– E.g. 455-5564 to upgrade a PLE641 to dual

55
Dual Antenna Installation (See REHS8850)

1. Install the new radio
2. Connect the GPS antenna to your preferred radio
(recommended is to the Sat Radio)
3. Connect the Cell antenna coax (brown) to Cell Radio
4. Connect the Sat antenna coax (white) to Sat Radio
5. Connect the PC to your PLE-webpage / Settings &
6. Select “GPS Configuration” * screen to
7. Configure it to “Cat Radios Sat” or “Cat Radios Cell”
depending where you ve connected the GPS coax on step2
