CAT ET 3 Wireless Adapter III WIFI CAT3 Communication Adapter III
Communications Adapter 3 Description:
Communications Adapter 3 is the latest generation of the Communication
Adapter group, and replaces the Comm Adapter II. This is the only
recommended communication device for et 3, and the only datalink device
that will allow you to properly communicate with a CA engine on dual
datalinks. This function is needed for some ET (Electronic Technician)
functions.
Communications Adapter III Feature:
1. For Caterpillar Communication Adapter3 with Bluetooth
2. Allows communication between service tools and engine controls using various data links such as J1939/11, DeviceNet
(future release), CT DataLink, and J1708 (ATA) vehicle networks;
3. Flash program allows adapter firmware upgrades as additional features become available;
4. Uses J1939/11, high-speed data link (part of ADEM III controls), substantially reducing flash times;
5. Automatically selects J1939/11 when flashing the engine (reduces the
flash time approximately 80%, from 14 minutes to 3 minutes).
ET Bluetooth function:
-Display "Logged Event Codes" to show engine over speeds,High temperatures, fuel consumption, etc.
-View ECM's current configuration and change user settings
-Perform diagnostic tests and calibrations, and calibrate
-Electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic components
-Context sensitive help leads operator through every task ET can perform
-Data Logger and Data Log Viewer allows recording of ECM signals for delayed troubleshooting capability.
Communications Adapter III Function:
1. ECM Summary screen lists every control module on equipment
2.Being tested and gives information on these modules.
3.Fast hookup and real time display of systems status. Displays,
readings such as rpm, boost, pressures, temperatures, etc. for Easy
troubleshooting.
4.Identifies faulty sensors, harness connectors, and system parameters which are out of specification. Allows customers
5.To help dealer identify problems without visiting machine.
6.Identifies intermittent sensors and wiring problems during Machine
operation and keeps a record of each one. Showswhen problem occurred and
how often it happened.
7.Added information to allow customer to assist dealer in diagnosing and
repairing problems. (Troubeshooting Help is not built in with in the
program, you will still need go back to books in order to follow a
repair description and steps in each Fault Code display within the
program).English and metric units of measure integrated help file to
easy learn the "How To" around the software.
Note:
1. Functionalities Shows all operating conditions that cause high repair costs such as:
Over speeds, high temperatures, fuel consumption, transmission shift counts. This can provide awareness to change operator.
2. "ET Trainer" is now included in ET Program. It allows Users to
train and practice using ET without a Communications adapter or
Electronic Control Module (ECM).This is a free feature of ET.
