523 and A4:N4 VIMS Improvements and Enhancements
The VIMS improvements and enhancements of 523 and A4:N4 platform are listed below:
Addressed communicator scheduled timer drift. It will pay attention to the actual time for scheduled reporting, rather than the timed elapsed since the last actual file push.
Updated Telemetry data to report DSI values in the correct format.
Enhancements to VIMS file cleaning mechanism to remove orphaned report files, older than 4 hours.523 and A4:N4 Product Link Improvements and Enhancements
The Product Link improvements and enhancements of 523 and A4:N4 platform are listed below:
Updated to resolve the J1939 parameters in Cat ET for the A4:N4 module.
Added the J1939 diagnostic support for the 523 module.
The Lifetime Total Payload Weight and Total machine Operation Cycle Count is now supported with the 523 using this software.523 and A4:N4 Payload Control System (PCS) Improvements
The improvements of Payload Control System (PCS) are listed below:
Updated to resolve PCS printer printing an extra blank trailing line than what is configured.
Updated to resolve PCS printer tickets indicate zero after updating the newer VIMS software and storing new payload data.
Updated to resolve ECM reset issues which could cause loss of Payload information on the printer tickets and VIMS data.
Updated to resolve an issue when the truck target weight is entered, the PCS would sometime display an incorrect value
Updated to resolve an issue where inputting configuration information through VIMSpc would not be accepted. As a result of this improvement, after changing the printer units the machine must be key cycled in order for the change to take effect.Configuration Changes

( 1 ) Refer to Note b
( 2 ) Refer to Note aNote: (a) A4:N4 with the PCS only configuration can function as PL and is an enabler for PCS reports. However, PCS (Software Enable Attachment (SEA)) must be enabled in the Implement Module for PCS to function. When PCS only config is installed, "Data Acquisition System" (SEA override) is auto installed/enabled. (b) VIMS is an SEA on these machines and will require a factory
