Electric Power Generation AllIntroduction
This Special Instruction provides instructions for installing the Cat® Product Link Generation (PLG6x1). The PLG6x1 is capable of monitoring electric power assets remotely, while logging critical engine and generator parameters. The PLG6x1 transmits the data off-board into the Cat back-office systems to be viewed in a flexible Caterpillar user interface. The system consists of a module and wiring harness to allow connection to system power, and J1939 data links. Optional Modbus data links and analog/digital inputs are available on the device. The system is proposed for use on all electric power assets, both Caterpillar and competitive brands, providing a fleet solution for equipment owners. This kit is offered as an after-market attachment.Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information.Cat® Product Link Devices
