Data
The information system uses four types of data. The four types of data are listed below.Sensed - Data is read from the sensors and the switches. The sensors and the switches communicate with the VIMS ECM.Internal - The data is generated within the VIMS ECM. The date and time are examples of internal data.Communicated - The data is received through the Cat Data Link from other machine systems. For example, the engine speed is received through the data Links from the Engine ECM.Calculated - Data mathematically determined by the VIMS ECM. For example, the event duration is calculated and stored in the event list.Data Links
The data links for the monitoring system are listed below:Cat Data Link - A two wire data link that allows communication between the ECM and other machine control systems.CAN Data Link - Three-wire data link allows communication between ECM for a transfer of the parameter data.RS-232 (Service Tool) - Serial three-wire data link allows communication between the VIMS ECM and the service tool (laptop computer).RS-232 (Broadcast) - Serial three-wire data link allows communication between the VIMS ECM and other off-board systems that are not service tools. The onboard data can be passed from the machine when a radio telemetry system is connected to the port.Ethernet (10baseT) - A four wire data link that allows communication to the VIMS modules for uploading configurations and downloading VIMS 3G data.VIMS RS-232 (Telemetry Broadcast Port) Communication
When the VIMS RS-232 Broadcast port is connected to a telemetry system, VIMS will automatically broadcast "Events and Payload" information via the VIMS telemetry port normally referred to as "Service Port 2". The following items describe both broadcasting of Events and Payload processes along with the additional Parameter Solicitation process.Events Broadcast
Immediately after an Event Occurrence becomes "Active", VIMS will show this message to the operator and send a message to the office via the telemetry port.
Immediately after an Event Occurrence is "Deactive", a separate message related to the above "Active" event is sent to the office via the telemetry port. The combined "Active" and "Deactive" information can be found in the aggregated VIMS event list chronological download file.Payload Broadcast
Immediately after VIMS has successfully weighed each loader pass. This action is true only if the last pass indicator is ON.
The truck travels in the loaded state. The truck shifts to "2nd" gear and the truck has traveled a distance that is greater than 0.16 km (0.1 mi). Electric Drive trucks have a certain speed other than "2nd" gear to reweigh and broadcast this message.
Immediately after the truck has finished the loading cycle. The total payload data sent out at this time consists of the same payload cycle detail in the aggregated VIMS payload file that is downloaded with VIMSpc.Parameter Solicitation
All parameters can be solicited by the Third-Party System to view real-time statistics of the parameters available onboard the machineInputs
ECMs monitor the status of the machine systems continuously and calculate decisions based on the input from the following:
Sensors
Switches
Other ECMs
Internal calculations
