ROD 6Y4524 - Caterpillar

Event/Diagnostic Report Interval (SMU)
The Event/Diagnostic Report Interval determines how soon the Product Link will report a reoccurrence of an event or diagnostic code. The SMU in the description signifies that this value is measured in units of machine operating hours. The minimum value is 4 hours. The default is 20 hours, meaning that an event/diagnostic update message will not be resent for a specific event/diagnostic until the machine has operated for 20 hours after the last transmitted occurrence of that event/diagnostic. At the next event/diagnostic occurence after the time period elapses, another message will be sent. This helps to reduce the number of messages sent for a given event/diagnostic thereby reducing the messaging cost. All events/diagnostics are recorded and may be viewed with the Electronic Technician.

To configure this value, highlight it and select "Change" at the lower left corner of the screen. The new value may be entered as shown in illustration 1.Event/Diagnostic Message Interval (RT)
This value is only valid if the event or diagnostic report intervals are set to Next Scheduled. The Event/Diagnostic Message Interval sets the time period before an event or diagnostic message update is sent. This time period is calculated from the "Report Start Time". The RT in the description signifies that this value is measured in units of real time (or calendar) hours. The minimum value is 24 hours. The default is 168 hours. This means that an event/diagnostic scheduled message will be every 168 hours (1 week) if any Event/Diagnostic code has occurred since the last scheduled mesage was sent. This helps to reduce the number of messages sent, thereby reducing the messaging cost.

To configure this value, highlight it and select "Change" at the lower left corner of the screen. The new value may be entered as shown in illustration 2.Report Start Time
The standard reports for Product Link are sent at time-based intervals. Position reports are sent every six hours and a service meter report or fuel report is sent every 24 hours. The report start time is used as the initial report time for calculating when subsequent reports are sent. The report start time is also used as the basis for calculating "Next Scheduled" events and diagnostic messages. SMU reports and fuel reports will alternate days. The transmissions are automatically optimized for maximum efficiency of the Product Link system, and the messages may not arrive on an exact hourly schedule. The messages will arrive very close to the scheduled time.Note: The time entered must be in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). In order to convert your local time to GMT, you must add a certain number of hours. In the eastern time zone, add 5 hours to your local time. In the central time zone, add six hours to your local time. For example, if you want the report to arrive at 5:00 A.M. in the central time zone, enter 11:00 A.M. for the report start time. If daylight savings time is currently being observed, then add one more hour.
