CAT® PRODUCT LINK™ FOR ELECTRIC POWER
Caterpillar is leading the power generation market place with power solutions engineered to deliver unmatched performance, reliability, durability and cost-effectiveness.
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Cat® Product Link™ is a comprehensive remote monitoring and asset management solution, enabling powerful tools that transform data from an entire fleet of equipment into the essential information required to boost productivity, reduce costs and manage risks. Product Link PL421 hardware collects GPS positioning and data reported directly off the asset, transmitting it off-board through cellular GSM communication networks. PL421 hardware is deeply integrated with Cat EMCP 3, EMCP 4 and ADEM™ generator set controllers, enabling remote visibility to advanced health and utilization data, as well as easy plug and play installation. Product Link’s intuitive web-based interface, VisionLink®, makes it easy to monitor data from your whole fleet, and then zoom in for a detailed look at individual assets. Alerts can be configured to automatically notify those who need to know via e-mail or SMS text when something occurs that needs immediate attention. In addition, data from your equipment can easily be fed to other business software, allowing you to gather the data once, and then use it wherever needed in third-party applications. WORLD WIDE PRODUCT SUPPORT • Cat dealers provide extensive pre-sale and post-
sale support. • The Cat dealer network consists of over 1,600
dealer branch stores operating in over 200 countries.
FEATURES Robust PL421 hardware paired with the VisionLink application provides accurate and timely information about the location, status, utilization and health of your equipment around the clock. • Monitor asset hours and general usage,
including equipment location with easy online mapping features.
• Schedule planned maintenance and major repairs with the most effective use of the asset in mind, avoiding unnecessary downtime.
• Monitor generator set status on systems with an EMCP 3, EMCP 4 or ADEM controller including whether the engine is running or stopped. Also monitor not ready to run status with an EMCP 4.
• Manage diagnostic and event codes reported on systems with an EMCP 3, EMCP 4 or ADEM controller in real-time, allowing detection of problematic health conditions before they cause component failures.
• Utilize advanced engine monitoring available on systems with an ADEM controller.
• Easily configure alerts for automated e-mail and text messages that notify anyone who needs to know of important events including:
- Not ready to run status supported by EMCP 4 controllers
- Asset on and off
- Site boundary entry and exit
- Service coming due
- Loss of main battery power
- Health codes supported by EMCP 3, EMCP 4 and ADEM controllers
