ADAPTER 4L9458 - Caterpillar

Feature Variations
VIMSTM is designed to operate on several different types of machines. All the possible functions of VIMS are not needed on every type of machine. Configuration software is used to identify the type of machine and identifies the available VIMS functions.Diagnostic information is stored in VIMS for all system events and diagnostics. The information is stored even if the condition is not present at the time of troubleshooting.Road Analysis Control
Road Analysis Control (RAC) is an optional feature in VIMS. RAC samples data from the truck at a rate of ten times per second. The data is used to calculate the relative severity of each haul cycle for the truck. Stress is measured on major components of the truck and used to calculate the condition of the haul roads. This information can be used to indicate when repairs to the haul road are needed. This information can be used to assess various design configurations of the haul road and effects on the stress to the truck.Truck Payload Measurement System (TPMS)
The TPMS is integrated into VIMS. TPMS calculates and records the following data:Time stamp - The "Date/Time" that marks the start of the payload cycle.Payload - The weight of the material that is being moved.Loading Time - The amount of time required to load the truck.Stopped Empty Time - The "total time" that is recorded for a truck that is "stopped while empty" during the payload cycle.Traveling Empty Time - The "total time" that is recorded for a truck that is "traveling while empty" during the payload cycle.Travel Empty Distance - The "total distance" Traveled by the truck while the truck was empty.Stopped Loaded Time - The time that is recorded when a truck with a full load is not moving during the payload cycle.Traveling Loaded Time - The time that is recorded when a truck with a full load is moving during the payload cycle.Transmission Shifts (Mechanical Drive Only) - The total number of transmission shifts "up or down" that were made during the payload cycle.Used Fuel - The total fuel used during the payload cycle.ID of the Operator - The operator identification number.Types of Recorded Data
The occurrence of certain events, diagnostics, and machine conditions are recorded in the VIMS onboard memory. This information is organized into seven categories and is used to analyze problems with the machine. Listed below are the seven categories:Event List - A record of stored events and diagnostics that have occurred on the machine. Not all events are stored. The record contains the last 500 events and diagnostics that are listed in the order of occurrence, the newest at the top. The event list transfers the oldest data into the event summary list when the event list exceeds 500 records.Event Summary List - An Event Summary List is composed of the first five occurrences, last five occurrences, and worst five occurrences of recorded events. The event summary list is limited to 500 records.Note: The event list is accessible from the display or with
