Caterpillar CATM5X -- FS-8700-56
FieldServer Driver - Serial

A communications interface solution for Caterpillar

Description:

The Caterpillar CATM5X driver can act as a Master. Any Caterpillar device supporting the CATM5X protocol on any serial port (P1-P8, R1 & R2) can be polled. Typically the Caterpillar engines are connected to a CCM module and the driver connects to the CMM module. Parameters to be polled can be specified by a descriptive keyword such as “ECM Hourmeter” or by specifying the Caterpillar PID (parameter ID). Parameters to be polled can be specified by the PID numbers allowing this driver to access parameters not defined at the time of development. The driver can login to the caterpillar CCM module it is connected to. The driver can connect at other standard baud rate/bit settings provided that the CATM5X device supports them. The Caterpillar driver can act as a server. The driver can be polled by a Caterpillar CATM5X Master and return data from the FieldServer's data arrays.
