GEAR-PLANETARY 1C3965 - Caterpillar

- A type of GPS solution (accuracy) that indicates the lowest available precision. This solution is seen when the correction information from the reference station is not available. Base - The GPS reference station that broadcasts additional satellite and position information to the machine systems for calculating accurate dynamic positions. The terms base and reference station are used synonymously.CAESultra - The Computer Aided Earthmoving System is part of the Mining and Earthmoving Technology Systems. CAESultra provides machine operators and site managers with various continuously updated information regarding the execution of earthmoving tasks.Cat MineStar - This program combines the AQUILATM Drill and Dragline, and CAESultra office software systems into a single product offering. The program uses a single application and seamless integration between all the elements. This method provides the user with a common interface to Caterpillar technologies. The program uses a single user interface with shared services, shared data models, and shared reporting tools.*.cat files - Files used by CAESultra to show or display information to the operator. There are several types of *.cat files including:
DE or ED - Design Elevation
UE or CE - Current Elevation
OG - Original Ground
UC - Update CompactionComponent Identifier (CID) - This term is used by diagnostics to indicate which component is suspected to be faulty.COMMS - An abbreviation for communications.Differential GPS (DGPS) - GPS solution (accuracy) that indicates low to moderate the available precision. This accuracy is seen during brief periods of no correction information from the reference station or during periods of high PDOP.Digital Terrain Model (DTM) - A digital surface.Event Identifier (EID) - Used by diagnostics to indicate a system event for troubleshooting.Engineering error (ENGR) - Used by diagnostics to indicate a problem with software operation.Fixed - GPS solution (accuracy) that indicates the highest precision available.Float - GPS solution (accuracy) that indicates that the GPS receiver is searching for satellites and is determining the current position of the receiver. This accuracy is seen during startup mode or when satellites are temporarily blocked from view.Failure Mode Indicator (FMI) - A number that represents a specific type of failure for troubleshooting systems problems.Global Positioning System (GPS) - This system is a worldwide system that uses radio signals for navigation. The system is formed from a constellation of satellites and the ground stations of the satellites.MID - Module Identifier is a number used in diagnostics to indicate which module the problem is pertaining to.MineStar Files - File created in either Fleet or Terrain office software are called MineStar files. All of the files displayed on the "MineStar Diagnostics" window are currently active in CAESultra.Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) - This term describes the quality of the geometry of the satellite constellation. The GPS receiver uses the satellite constellation to calculate positions. Large PDOP values indicate poor geometry and a less accurate solution.Positioning Module (PM) - The CAESultra module that contains computer electronics, the display, and the disk drive.Power-On Self Test (POST) - The initial test performed by a system component to insure the state
