This section provides information about the reports and messages that are sent from the Product Link system. For information in order to access and change parameters, refer to Systems Operation, Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, "Configuration".

PLM Report Configuration Parameters
Event/Diagnostic Report Interval (SMU) The Event/Diagnostic Report Interval determines the time frame (measured in units of machine operating hours) the Product Link will report a repeat occurrence of an event/diagnostic code. Enter the appropriate value for the reporting interval. The minimum value is 4 hours. The default is 4 hours, meaning that an event/diagnostic update message will not be resent for a specific event/diagnostic until the machine has operated for 4 hours after the last transmitted occurrence of the event/diagnostic. At the next event/diagnostic occurrence after the time period elapses, another message will be sent. All events/diagnostics are recorded and may be viewed with Cat ET.
A machine ECM will self erase a diagnostic if the diagnostic does not reappear after 100 operating hours. When this happens, the event history screen in the EM application will show a diagnostic that occurred 100 hours in the past, but that no longer shows up in Cat ET because the diagnostic has not reoccurred.
Event/Diagnostic Message Interval (RT) The Event/Diagnostic Message Interval (RT) parameter sets the time period (measured in units of real time (or calendar) hours) before an event/diagnostic message update is sent. This time period is calculated from the "Report Start Time".
An event/diagnostic scheduled message will be sent if any Event/Diagnostic code has occurred since the last scheduled message was sent. Enter the appropriate value for the reporting interval. This value is only valid if the event or diagnostic report intervals are set to Next Scheduled. The minimum value is 20 hours. The default is 168 hours (1 week).
Report Start Time The Report Start Time parameter sets the time used as the initial report time for calculating when subsequent reports are sent. The Report Start Time parameter is also used as the basis for calculating "Next Scheduled " events and diagnostic messages.
Additional Information: Standard reports for Product Link are sent at time-based intervals. The messages will arrive as close as possible to the scheduled time. The messages may not arrive exactly on the scheduled time as the transmissions are automatically optimized for maximum efficiency of the Product Linksystem. Enter the correct local time value for the reporting start time.
Consideration should be given to the time selected for the start time. For an example, if a machine normally operates between 7AM and 4PM, you would want to set the start time to a value somewhere between 7AM and 4PM, preferably, shortly after 7AM. A "Get PC Date/Time" button is supplied for easy entry of the current date and time.
Warning Level 1/2/3 Report Configuration The Warning Level 1/2/3 Report Configuration parameter defines when to send messages from the Product Link system when a level 1, level 2, or level 3 event is reported from other ECMs (Electronic Control Modules) on the machine. The events reported
