SPACER 8N5305 - Caterpillar

Cat ET or Caterpillar Tool Kit is required in order to configure the PL1000T. Note: In Cat ET versions prior to 2005A, the PL1000T is referred to as "Gateway Translator". For the following Illustrations, the terms "Gateway Translator" and "PL1000T Communications ECM" refer to the same device.

Select "PL1000T 1", then click "OK". "Electronic Technician" will then display the "ECM Summary" screen. The "ECM Summary" screen displays the ECMs basic identification information. The information that is shown on the screen is theECM Serial Number, Personality Module Description, Personality Module Part Number, Personality Module Release Date and ECM Part Number.Link Configuration
Once the preference settings in the service tool are set correctly, the user can navigate to the configuration screen. The user can navigate through the menu within the service tool. For each configuration discussed below, refer to Illustration 2for location on the configuration screen.

Cat Datalink Module Identifier Configuration
Each module that resides on a Cat Datalink network must use a unique identifying address or name. On Cat Datalink this unique name or identifying address is referred to as a "Module Identifier" (MID). The PL1000T has been designed with the ability to occupy up to three MIDs on the Cat Datalink. Each PL1000T on the same Cat Datalink must occupy a unique MID. Each PL1000T will default to using the "PL1000T 1" configuration. Manually change each PL1000T when connected to the same Cat Datalink network with other PL1000Ts.
PL1000T 1 - Configures the PL1000T to occupy the first of the three available MID's on the Cat Datalink.
PL1000T 2 - Configures the PL1000T to occupy the second of the three available MID's on the Cat Datalink.
PL1000T 3 - Configures the PL1000T to occupy the third of the three available MID's on the Cat Datalink.Cat Datalink Boost Function Enable Status
The PL1000T contains special circuitry that can provide a boost function for the Cat Datalink. When this boost function is enabled, the Cat Datalink wiring harness length limitations are extended to 305 m (1000 ft).
Enabled - Cat Datalink harness length limitation is 305 m (1000 ft).
Disabled - Cat Datalink harness length limitation is 31 m (100 ft).Note: Enabling the boost function when Cat Datalink is less than 31 m (100 ft) can cause communication failures. Only enable the boost function when harness lengths greater than 31 m (100 ft) are required. When multiple PL1000Ts are connected to the same Cat Datalink, "CDL Boost" should be enabled on only one of the devices. Enabling "CDL Boost" on multiple PL1000Ts connected to the same Cat Datalink network will prevent normal communications.Cat Datalink over J1939 Tunnel Function Enable Status
The Tunnel Function Enable Status is a specialized feature for integration of 3500B Series II Caterpillar engines. Tunnel Function Enable Status is used for multiple engine connection to a single display device on Cat Datalink. The engine "Application and Integration guide" provides information on whether this feature is required in the application.CAN Extension Bridge Function Enable Status
Possible Values
Enabled
Disabled (Default)When this feature is enabled, the PL1000T will bridge communications between
