7 ENGINE MONITORING SYSTEM

The Engine Monitoring System (EMS) displays a variety of parameters for the
engine and the transmission. Additional EMS display modules can be installed in
multiple locations on the vessel. This will allow a vessel to have multiple operator
stations.
The engine’s Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors the following engine
information which is processed by the engine ECM:
• Operating parameters
• Diagnostic information
The information is then transmitted over the network to the EMS display module
via the Cat Data Link. The display module receives the information from the Cat
Data Link and then displays the information.
The network for the Cat Data Link consists of twisted pair wiring. All of the
operating parameters and the diagnostics information for the engine are
communicated over the network.
The EMS can also display information from a GPS receiver over the network. The
GPS Interface Module will provide the EMS with information that relates to the
speed and to the position of the vessel. This information can then be displayed
in the EMS display. Refer to the section on the GPS Interface Module for more
information.
7.1 EMS DISPLAY MODULE

The EMS incorporates three individual gauge displays. One Main EMS Gauge Unit
is required for each operator station. The Tachometer Module and Quad Gauge
Modules are optional. These gauges will not operate without a connection to a

features is mutually exclusive. If the J1939 bridge functionality is enabled, the CAN
extension bridge functionality will be automatically disabled. The opposite is also
true. Refer to Systems Operation, RENR7945 for information that is related to the
compatibility of these features.
12.7 CDL TUNNELING

The PL1000T Communication ECM can be configured to transmit the full content of
one protocol inside the envelope of a different protocol.
All messages on the Cat Data Link are received by the PL1000T Communication
ECM. These messages are formatted as a tunneling message. The tunneling
message is then transmitted over the J1939 network.

This is a specialized feature that is used to integrate multiple 3500B Series II

and 3500C Caterpillar Engines. The feature allows for the communications from
multiple engines to be sent to a single display device that is on the Cat Data Link.
Refer to the Application and Installation Guide for information that is related to the
application and the installation of the engine.
NOTE: E
ach engine will require an individual PL1000T Communication ECM for
translating the tunneling messages to the Cat Data Link. No more than three
PL1000T Communication ECMs can be connected to the same Cat Data Link
network
.
CDL TUNNELING CONNECTIONS
The CDL tunneling feature utilizes Cat Data Link networks and a J1939 network.
These networks must be connected to the PL1000T Communication ECM. Refer to
the appropriate section for information that is related to wiring the networks.
CONFIGURATION FOR CDL TUNNELING FUNCTIONALITY

Configure the PL1000T Communication ECM for the CDL tunneling functionality.
Refer to Service Manual RENR7945, Electronic Control Module (ECM) — Configure
Communication ECM.

Status.
4. C
When this feature is enabled, the PL1000T Communication ECM will broadcast
messages from the Cat Data Link over the J1939 network.
12.8 CAT DATA LINK BOOST

The PL1000T Communication ECM contains circuitry that can provide a Boost
function for the Cat Data Link. When this boost function is enabled, the length
limitation for the CAT Data Link wiring harness is extended.
CONNECTIONS CAT DATA LINK BOOST

The CDL tunneling feature utilizes a Cat Data Link network that is connected to the
PL1000T Communication ECM.
1. Use 16 AWG or 18 AWG twisted pair wiring for the connection to the Cat Data
Link network. The twisted pair wiring must have one full twist per inch.
2. Fabricate a harness that is long enough to connect the network to the
9-pin connector for the communication ECM. When possible, use the wire
identifications that are shown in Figure 12-14 and Table 12-10.
3. Crimp a 9X-3401 Connector Pin to one end of each of the wires.

CDL BOOST FUNCTION CONFIGURATION

With the CDL boost function enabled, the maximum wiring harness length for the
Cat Data Link network is extended to 305 m (1000 ft). With the CDL boost function
disabled, the maximum wiring harness length for the Cat Data Link network is
30 m (100 ft).
NOTE: E
nabling the CDL boost function when the wiring harness for the Cat Data
Link network is less than 100 feet can cause communication errors. Enable
the boost function only when the harness length for the network is greater
than 30 m (100 ft). When multiple PL1000T Communication ECMs are
connected to the same Cat Data Link, enable the CDL boost on only one
device. If the CDL boost is enabled on multiple PL1000T Communication
ECMs, normal communications on the network may be corrupted.

MBEDDED COMMUNICATIONS ADAPTER
The PL1000T Communication ECM provides the functionality of an Embedded
Communication Adapter. This feature facilitates communications with any
standard Caterpillar service tool. Once the communication adapter is enabled,
the PL1000T Communication ECM eliminates the need for the traditional external
communication adapters. The Embedded Communication Adapter provides all of
the same functionality as the external communication adapter.
The connection for the Embedded Communication Adapter provides a standard
RS-232 serial interface that can operate anywhere in the range of 9600 baud
through 115,000 baud.

EMBEDDED COMMUNICATION ADAPTER CONNECTIONS

When using the Embedded Communication Adapter, the RS-232 port #3 provides
for a connection between the PL1000T Communication ECM and the Caterpillar
Service Tool, Figure 12-15.
Figure 12-15 Connections for Embedded Communications Adapter
A communication cable that is suitable for a standard PC interface can be used to

connect to the PL1000T Communication ECM.
The cable must be compliant with RS-232 requirements and must be equipped
with a 9-pin DE connector for connection to the harness assembly that is supplied
for the PL1000T Communication ECM.
