If VIMS is installed onthe truck, payload information can be transmitted tothe loader as dipper loads are registered in the truck.

Note: The most up to date VIMS software filesshould always be loaded onto a machine when FleetOnboard is installed. Refer to SIS Web for the mostup-to-date files. For VIMS 3G applications theSupport Legacy xIM key will be needed when usingold file format VIMS .

Using Fleet Onboard with ObjectDetectionFleet Onboard can be enhanced with the addition ofCat Object Detection Systems.

KENR9017 5Introduction

The Object Detection System uses Object Detectionsensors and video to provide the operator withadditional information about the work area around themachine. The display interfaces with the ObjectDetection sensors that are mounted around themachine. When in the active state, the system willdetect objects as small as a light vehicle that is in thepath of the machine. The tab button on the display isused to switch between the two functionalities.


The assignment window will automatically switch tothe camera view when there is a gear change. Thefront camera view will be displayed when a forwardgear is selected. The rear view is displayed when areverse gear selected


Display Screen (with Object DetectionFeatures)


(1) Object detection sensor proximity indicator(2) System information window(3) System information window, operator(4) Assignment map/camera view(5) System information and warning display(6) Current assignment(7) Current operating state of the truck(8) Directional indication arrows(9) State icon window

The assignment map view will be the main viewdisplayed when using the Fleet Onboard functionallyof the display. Features of the Object Detectionsystem will be visible in both the assignment map andcamera view.

Object Detection Proximity Indicators


(10) No Detection(11) Caution Level 1(12) Caution Level 2(13) Caution Level 3(14) Critical Zone(15) Stop Zone

The visual proximity indicator provides the operatorwith a simplified view of the information provided bythe object detection sensors of the machine. Thevisual indicator will provide the operator visualfeedback on the position of detected objects anytimethe system is active, and the transmission gear is inREVERSE, NEUTRAL, or FORWARD.

The indicator is divided into five segments andprovides the operator with the gross position ofdetected objects relative to the machine.

When there is no object detected, the segment will besolid black.

When an object is detected in caution level 1 zone,typically 10 m (32.80 ft) to 12 m (39.37 ft) away fromthe machine in the coverage area, the bottomsegment will be solid yellow.

When an object is detected in caution level 2 zone,typically 8 m (26.24 ft) to 10 m (32.80 ft) away fromthe machine in the coverage area, the bottom twosegments will be solid yellow.

When an object is detected in caution level 3 zone,typically 6 m (19.68 ft) to 8 m (26.24 ft) away fromthe machine in the coverage area, the bottom threesegments will be solid yellow.

When an object is detected in the critical zone,typically 4 m (13.12 ft) to 6 m (19.68 ft) away fromthe machine in the coverage area, the bottom foursegments will be red.

When an object is detected in the stop zone, typically2 m (6.56 ft) to 4 m (13.12 ft) away from the machinein the coverage area, all five segments will be shownas a solid red bar. The solid red bar will blink one timeper second.


Directional IndicationArrows


In addition to the visual proximity indicator, directionindication arrows are used. The arrows indicate whichobject detection sensor has detected an object givingthe operator a general location of the object in relationto the truck. A blue box will appear around an arrowwhen that camera view is displayed. Additionally thearrows will change color in direct relation to theProximity Indicators.

Audible Alarming

The system shall produce audible alarms when in theactive state and a forward or reverse gear is selected.There are two Object Detection Alarm Modes,“Continuous” and “Discrete” that can be selected inthe configuration page.

The alarm will only sound when there is an object inthe direction of travel and the system is active. Whentraveling forward, the system will enter standby if thestandby mode conditions are met. No alarming orproximity alerts will occur in standby mode. Foradditional information on the alarming refer to ObjectDetection Operation and Maintenance Manual.

System Information and Warning Display

The function of the system information and WarningDisplay is to inform the operator of the system status.The status of the system can be active, standby, orfaulted.

The function of the system information and WarningDisplay is to inform the operator of the GPS accuracyand Communications status.

GPS accuracy can be:

None – The system has not established aGPS signal.

Low – The system has a low GPS signal.

Medium – The system has a mediumGPS signal.

High – The system has a high GPSsignal.

Communications status can be:

Note: This icon can be enabled or disabled by theconfiguration. Refer to Systems Operation,KENR9017, Cat ® Fleet Onboard Configuration foradditional details.

None – The system has not establishedcommunications .

Communications Established – Thesystem has established communications.

Object Detection System Status can be:

Active Mode – The system is in theactive state.

Standby Mode – The system is in thestandby state.

Fault Mode – The system is in systemfault mode.

Active


The system is in the active state when the machine isstopped or when the reverse gear is selected.Additionally, the system remains active in theFORWARD gear as long as the threshold set by the“Object Detection Standby Mode” parameter has notbeen met. While the machine is in the active state,the operator will be warned of objects that aredetected by the system. A green indicator located onthe display screen signifies the active state.

Note: The system remains in the active state anytimethe transmission is place in the REVERSE gear.


Standby


The system can be configured to run in one of twodifferent standby modes:

Distance – In “Distance” based standby, once themachine travels 20 m (65.61 ft) the system goes intostandby mode. When the machine stops for “x”seconds the system returns to active mode. The “x”seconds are set in the “Object Detection SystemEnable Delay” dialog. This delay can be set from 0 to30 seconds.

Speed – In “Speed” based standby, once themachine travels above the activation the systementers standby mode. When the machine slows downto below the reactivation speed, the system returns toactive mode. The system remains in this state untilthe machine has been stopped or travels below thereactivation speed for the reactivation time that hasbeen configured. An amber indicator located on thedisplay screen will signify the standby state.

Note: See the Object Detection Operation andMaintenance Manualfor additional details on Standbymode.

Fault


(1) Grayed Out Proximity Bar(2) System Status Indicator

The system is in system fault mode whenever a faultis detected on one of the object detection sensors, ifcommunication is lost with the machine controllers orif the battery voltage is out of the specified operatingrange, the system will trigger a fault. A red indicatorlocated on the display and an audible alarm will beactive for a two second period signifying the disabledstate. Video from the camera will still continue to bedisplayed.

Note: The proximity bar will not be visible.

For additional information on the Object DetectionSystem refer to the machine-specific SystemOperation manual:

Time InformationSMCS Code: 7605

Messages that go to the office from a machineinclude the following two kinds of time stamps:

Position time stamps – This time stamp indicatesthe time that a machine received position from thesatellite receiver group (GNSS).

TMAC message time stamps – This time stampindicates the time of a Trimble Mincom AquilaCaterpillar (TMAC ) message that was sent by amachine.

Note: All computers in the office software must besynchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).The units for the monitor display group will besynchronized with the use of a Global NavigationSatellite System (GNSS).

CoordinatedUniversal Time (UTC)UTC is the time standard that is used by the onboardsystem and related software. UTC is the time on thezero or the time on the Greenwich meridian . Thistime standard does not reflect changes due toDaylight Savings Time. All times are communicatedbetween the Onboard System and Office softwareas seconds since January 1, 1970 with the secondssynchronized to UTC. This format allows the date tobe communicated also with the time.

Local Time Versus System TimeThe time that is displayed in the digital window of themonitor display group is the local time. Thecalculation for local time is based on system time andthe information on the time zone. These values areconfigured with the use of configuration keys. Whenthe onboard is started, the information of the timezone for the system time is based on the “$ TimeZone Minutes” configuration key. The system time isset when the onboard receives the first GNSSposition. To set system time, the system applies theGNSS offset to the value of the GNSS time that wasreceived. The default value is 13, but the value canbe configured with the use of the “$ GPS UTC Offset”key.

• Configuration file ( “TopeConfig.txt” )

• Dynamic configuration file ( “DynConfig.txt” )

• Screen configuration file ( “TopeWinCfg.txt” )

The configuration file is used to customize thebehavior of the onboard system. A user can addconfiguration keys to the configuration file that affectsthe behavior of the application.

The default name and the path for the configurationfile is “\storage\TopeConfig.txt” . To change this nameand this path, the command-line parameter that isused is “Tope.exe / <new path name>” . Thiscommand-line parameter is used in the“StartupScript.bat” file.


““MineStar”” FilesIn order for Fleet onboard to operate properly, datafiles must be present on the monitor display group.The exact same files must also be present in theoffice software. Message files match a messagenumber with a text string. If the text string that isassociated with the message number in the messagefile for the monitor display group is not the same textstring as the text string that is associated with themessage number in the office message file, thewrong text string will be displayed to the machineoperator.

Active FilesMore than one “MineStar” file type can be on themonitor display group at any given time. Yet, only onefile can be active at a time. When files are activated,the application writes the information of the active fileto the dynamic configuration file.

In order for the onboard system to operate properly,the following list of configuration files are required tobe on the monitor display group:

““TopeConfig.txt”” configuration file – This filecontains the configuration keys that control theoperation of the application.

““TopeWinCfg.txt”” configuration file – This filecontains the configuration keys that determine thetype and the location of the program windows. Thelocation and the name for this file are specified in theconfiguration file.

““DynConfig.txt”” configuration file – This filecontains the configuration keys that indicate theactive files. The location and the name for this file arespecified in the “TopeConfig.txt” configuration file.

In order for the onboard system to operate properly,the following MineStar data files are required to beon the monitor display group and on the Cat®MineStar System:

Operator ID file – This file contains the ID and thename of operators that may perform a login to thesystem.

Waypoint file – This file contains the waypoints thatare used for an assignment and display. The followingwaypoints are included: waypoint ID, version,waypoint flags, type, machine ID, color, minimum z,maximum z, route point x coordinate, route point ycoordinate, waypoint name, number of vertices inwaypoint and waypoint vertices.

Truck file – This file contains information thatdescribes known trucks in the system. The followinglist of information is included: truck ID, class, numbersof dippers that are required for a particular shovel,capacity in tons and flags.

Delay file – This file contains the information thatdescribes the delays that may be entered by theoperator. The following list of information is included:delay description, delay level and delay durations.

Message file – This file contains the predefinedmessages. The messages may be displayed to theoperator or the predefined messages may be sent bythe operator. The following information is included:message content and response type.

Machine file – This file contains the information thatallows communication between machines equippedwith the onboard system. The following list ofinformation is included: machine ID, Internet Protocol(IP) address , User Datagram Protocol (UDP) portsand machine name.

Machine type file – This file contains the detailsabout the machine-specific icons. The machine iconswill display in the “Assignment Map” window. A“MachineType.mwf” file must be activated to be ableto display the machine-specific icons.

Key Performance Indicator file (KPI file) – This filecontains information that allows the onboard systemto display KPI information that is received from theoffice. The following information is included: KPIidentifier and text description.

Material file – This file contains the information thatallows the onboard system to display selectablematerials to the operator to use the default route file.The following information is included: materialidentifier and material description text.

Default route file – When an assignment cannot bereceived from the office, this file contains theinformation that allows the onboard system to get adefault assignment. The following information isincluded: waypoint, the default destination for thatwaypoint and other destinations for specified types ofmaterials.

Operator checklist file – This file contains theinformation that allows the operator to complete theentry of checklist items. The following information isincluded: checklist item identifier and text description.

GPS Coordinate Transformation file – This fileconverts coordinate values from global coordinates tolocal coordinates. The “appfile.cfg” file must belocated in the “\storage\” root directory.

Fluid file – This file contains the information thatallows the operator to complete the fluid entry items inthe “Hour Entry” window when configured formultiple fluid entry.

System diagnostic file – This file gives diagnosticinformation about the operation of the onboardsystem.

Startup file – This file will appear at the start-up ofthe monitor display group. This file is a batch file withcommands to load the onboard application and theFile Transfer Protocol (FTP) server on the monitordisplay group. Other applications can be added to the“\storage\start-upscript.bat” batch file for start-up.

Display waypoint file – This file is a waypoint filethat is used to show roads, road buildings, andlandmarks on a site.

Message display file – This file is a messagingfeature that allows the office to communicateinformation to machine operators. When a message


file is activated, the file will appear in place of thecurrent screen.

VIMS InteractionThe health interface module receives andacknowledges messages from VIMS . Then, thehealth interface module sends the messages in aTrimble Mincom Aquila Caterpillar (TMAC ) format tothe office software. The health interface module willattempt to send messages until the officeacknowledges the receipt of the message. The healthinterface module has a buffer for storing messagesfrom VIMS that will be sent to the office software. Ifthis buffer becomes full or if the office software fails toacknowledge any messages, the health interfacemodule will not acknowledge any further messagesfrom VIMS until the connection is established withthe office.

FTP ServerFile transfers between the onboard and the officesoftware are accomplished with the use of FileTransfer Protocol (FTP). Fleet onboard requires arunning FTP server on the monitor display group. TheFTP server starts automatically at the start-up ofWindows . Also, the FTP server runs independentlyof the onboard system. The username and passwordused to connect to the onboard through an FTPconnection is set remotely. The username andpassword for FTP is determined by the office.

AvailableWindows

Type of Window Description

“System Info...”

This window displays informa-tion to the operator. Many op-tions are available for the type ofdata that can be configured todisplay. This window is typicallyused on a truck or a loadingmachine.

“Waypoint List”

This window shows a list of thewaypoints in the current assign-ment. Waypoints are areas ofsignificance along the travelroute that help monitor the prog-ress of the truck to the site. Way-points also help monitor theprogress of the truck through theloading cycle. Waypoints arecreated with the office software.

“State Icon”This window displays an iconthat represents the current oper-ating state of the truck.(1)

“KPI...”

This window displays Key Per-formance Indicator information(KPI information) that was re-ceived in a message from the of-fice. KPI windows display bargraphs that indicate values.

KENR9017 21Program Screen

Fleet Onboard on Truck VersusFleet Onboard on LoadingMachineSome windows are useful primarily for truck operatorswhile other windows are useful primarily for loadingoperators. An assignment map window displays thetravel route to a truck operator between a loadingwaypoint and a dumping waypoint. As a loadingoperator does not travel, an assignment map windowis not useful to a loading operator. A dipper windowprovides a loader operator with the amount ofmaterial to load into the next dipper to fill the truck tocapacity. Again as a truck does not load trucks, adipper window is not useful to a truck operator. Also,the status bar on the screen displays differentinformation for a truck versus information for a loadingmachine.

““Load Full”” – The load is almost full. The defaultcolor is red.

““Load Warning”” – The load is nearing capacity. Thedefault color is yellow.

““Load OK”” – The load is not near capacity. Thedefault color is green.

Adding a ““Truck Load History...””WindowA “Truck Load History...” window displays the loadsof previous trucks that were loaded by the loadingoperator in a bargraph. This format allows theoperator to see individual performance in loadingtrucks to capacity. History can include information onprevious trucks or on the current truck only.Performance can be displayed for a single class oftruck or for a mixture of classes of trucks. A “TruckLoad History...” window can only be used with VIMS.

Capacities are determined from the truck capacityvalues in the truck file. Payload values are receivedfrom VIMS on the trucks.

Perform the following procedure to add a “TruckLoad History...” window:

Description of the Options for ““TruckLoad History”” Window

““Overload:”” – A “Overload:” value of 110 percentand red for the color, any truck load that is filled to 110percent of the capacity for the truck will appear as ared bar. The bar will reach above the 100 percentcapacity line. The percentage is calculated on thepayload of the current truck that is being loaded andthe capacity of this truck according to the truck file.

““Ok:”” – With the “Ok:” color as green, any truck thatis filled between the capacity values that areconfigured for overload and underload will appear asa green bar. The bar will rest under the 100 percentcapacity line and above the underload capacity line.

““Underload:”” – With a “Underload:” value of 90percent and yellow for the color, any truck that is filledto 90 percent or less than 90 percent of the capacityfor the truck will appear as a yellow bar. The bar willrest below the underload capacity line.

““Capacity:”” – This field acts as a filter. Any capacityof a truck that matches this capacity will be displayedin the “Truck Load History...” window. If no value isset in this field, history for all classes of trucks will bedisplayed in the window.

““Load Count:”” – This field specifies the number ofloads that will be displayed in the “Truck LoadHistory...” window. When you are creating a windowthat displays only the current payload, enter thenumber one in this field.

““Range (+/-):”” – This field specifies the maximumand minimum percentages that will be displayed inthe “Truck Load History...” window.

““Display Dippers”” – Select the “Display Dippers”check box to display the vertical bar for a truck load inincrements as the dipper information is known. If thisbox is not checked, the vertical bar will be displayedonly after information for the entire load is known. Ifyou are creating a window that displays only thecurrent payload, select this option.

““Current Payload””

A “Current Payload” window is only a “Truck LoadHistory” window for the current truck. A “CurrentPayload” window helps the operator to load trucks tocapacity. As Fleet onboard receives VIMS dipperinformation from the truck that is being loaded, thecurrent payload screen displays the payloadinformation for the truck to the operator. The numberat the top of the window displays the capacity of thetruck that is being loaded. The number at the bottomof the window displays the current truck payload.


To create the “Current Payload” window, perform thefollowing procedure:

1. Add a “Truck Load History...” window.

2. Set the “Load Count:” field to one.

3. Check the “Display Dippers” check box.

4. Set the “Capacity” field to the capacity for theclass of truck that is being loaded.


Truck Operating State

i04727393

General Information (TruckOperating State)SMCS Code: 7605

In a typical truck cycle, a truck dumps a load. Then,the truck travels to a loading site. The truck is loadedby a loading machine. Then, the truck travels to adumping site. In this truck cycle, the truck maychange the following operating states:

• “Dumping” to “travel empty”

• “Travel empty” to “arriving empty”

• “Arriving empty” to “loading”

• “Loading” to “travel loaded”

• “Travel loaded” to “arriving loaded”

• “Arriving loaded” to “dumping”

For each change of state, Fleet onboard can beconfigured to use one of the following techniques totrigger that change of state:

• Manually through operator input

• Automatically

• Automatically with a confirmation from the operator

Triggering a change of state automatically involvesthe use of one of the following six techniques:

• Messages of state information from VIMS

• Payload information from VIMS

• Gear and speed information from VIMS

• Trimble Mincom Aquila Caterpillar (TMAC )messages of “Send Truck” from a loadingmachine

• Digital I/O signals from switch inputs

• Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates thatare combined with predefined virtual waypointpolygons

i04727409

Truck Operating State ChangeSMCS Code: 7605

The following section describes a truck that is movingthrough a typical truck cycle. For each change ofoperating state, the options are described fortriggering the change of state.

ChangingOperating State From““Dumping”” to ““Travel Empty””The operating state can be changed from “dumping”to “travel empty” in one of the following ways:

• Manual

• Automatic using assignment

• Automatic using waypoint polygons

• Automatic using waypoint polygons with operatorconfirmation

• Automatic using VIMS cycle

• Automatic using VIMS position switch

• Switch input

ManualPerform the following procedure to change theoperating state manually:

1. Press the “Set State” button on the toolbar tomodify the operating state.

The “Set New State” window will appear with the“travel empty” option for the change of stateactive.

2. Confirm the change of state by pressing “OK” .

Automatic UsingWaypoint Polygons

As the truck leaves the “dump” waypoint, Fleetonboard automatically changes the state of the truckfrom “dumping” to “travel empty” . This setting is thedefault. This default can be disabled by adding theconfiguration key “$ No Dump Exit To Travel” to theconfiguration file.

KENR9017 33Truck Operating State

Automatic UsingWaypoint Polygons withOperator Confirmation

As the truck leaves the “dump” waypoint, a windowappears on the onboard. The window asks theoperator to confirm the change of state from“dumping” to “travel empty” . Fleet onboard can beconfigured to sound the audible device if the operatorhas not responded to the confirmation of the changeof state within a certain time period. If the operatordoes not confirm the change of state before the truckrequires another change, the change of state will beapplied automatically. The configuration key is “$Travel State =1” .

Automatic Using VIMS Cycle

General Information (Truck andLoader Interaction)SMCS Code: 7605

Basic OperationThis section describes the various messages fromTrimble Mincom Aquila Caterpillar (TMAC ) that allowcommunication between Fleet onboard on the truckwith Fleet onboard or Computer Aided EarthmovingSystem (CAES ) on the loading machine.

Phase 1Upon the entrance of a truck into a loading facewaypoint, the status changes to a “waiting” state.Fleet onboard on the truck sends a load requestmessage to Fleet onboard on the loading machinethat indicates the following information: the materialthat was loaded on the truck and the operating stateof the truck. The loading machine responds with anacknowledgment message ( “MW_ACK” ) thatindicates the position of the loading machine.

Phase 2A truck that enters a shovel waypoint will changestatus to a “loading” state. Fleet onboard on thetruck sends another load request message to theloading machine that indicates that the truck is in a“loading” state. The loading machine responds withanother “MW_ACK” message that indicates theposition of the loading machine. Fleet onboard on thetruck verifies that the truck is at the correct loadingmachine.

Phase 3The truck will send a VIMS dipper report to theloading machine and to the office under the followingconditions: a truck that is equipped with the VIMSand first dipper load that is received.

When a loading machine that is equipped with CAESdetects the first dipper load that has been placed inthe truck, CAES on the loading machine sends adipper message to the office. This dipper messagetells the office the material that is in the truck. Theoffice then triggers an assignment.

Note:When loading is complete, if CAES determinesthat the material in the truck has changed from thematerial that was indicated in the first dippermessage, the onboard system will assess again thebest destination for the truck. Then, the office willissue an updated assignment for the truck.

Phase 4

““Scenario A””When loading is complete, the machine operator onthe loading machine presses the “send truck” buttonto send a truck sent message to the truck. The trucksent message indicates that loading is complete tothe truck. Then, the truck sends a load requestmessage to the loader that indicates that the truckhas changed to the “traveling” state. The loadingmachine sends a load report to the office thatspecifies the material that was loaded into the truckwith the truck ID.

If the truck has VIMS , and when loading is complete,the truck sends a VIMS load message to the loaderand to the office to indicate the truck payload.

““Scenario B””When loading is complete, the truck changes to the“travelling” state. A load request message is sent tothe loader to indicate a change of state to “travelling”. Also, the load request message indicates that theload is complete. The loading machine sends a loadreport to the office to specify the material that wasloaded into the truck as well as the truck ID.

If the truck has VIMS , and when loading is complete,the truck sends a VIMS load message to the loaderand to the office to indicate the truck payload.

Exceptions to Basic OperationIf the cycle in the basic operation is interrupted, thefollowing communication messages between Fleetonboard on the truck and Fleet onboard or CAES onthe loading machine will occur:

• Truck leaves before loading

• Wrong loader

• No CAES dippers

Truck Leaves Before Loading

If a truck leaves the loader before being loaded, Fleetonboard will send an additional material requestmessage to the loading machine with the set state to“traveling empty” . The truck will be eliminated fromthe display on the loader.

38 KENR9017Truck and Loader Interaction

Wrong Loader

Fleet onboard may determine that the truck is at thewrong loading machine after the truck has sent theload request. Also, the operator may leave the areabefore being loaded. Fleet onboard on the trucksends a material request message to the first loaderto indicate that the truck will not be loaded. A loadrequest to the new loading machine is sent.

No CAES Dippers

If CAES cannot identify a dipper that has beenplaced in a truck, no dipper message will be sent tothe office. Unless the operator has manually selecteda material, the office will not be aware of the materialthat is in the truck.

When loading is complete, a dipper report will not besent to the office due to the following criteria:

• When loading is complete, CAES on the loadingmachine did not initiate a “send truck” message

• When loading is complete, the operator for theloading machine did not initiate a “send truck”message

The dipper count for the next truck that is beingloaded will continue to increment. In addition, a loadmessage will not be sent to the office.

i04727810

Interactive Payload MessagesSMCS Code: 7605

If a truck is equipped with the VIMS , payloadmessages can be sent to the loading machine. Thepayload messages will provide the loading operatorwith dipper windows and truck load history windows.These windows give the operator information duringloading about the capacity level of the truck and thepast performance of the operator in loading trucks tocapacity.

Payload messages from VIMS may optionally besent to one of the following systems on the loadingmachine:

• Computer Aided Earthmoving System (CAES )

• Fleet onboard

Machine Position Adjustment

Since the position of a machine is reported accordingto the location of the GPS antenna that is installed onthe machine, offsets for the GPS antenna can beconfigured with the addition of configuration keys inthe “TopeConfig.txt” configuration file. In most cases,the GPS antenna is not installed on the referencepoint of the machine. However, the desired position ofthe machine to be reported is from the referencepoint. The offset values are the distances on eachaxis of the GPS antenna measured from the machineorigin.

The location of the reference point for each machinetype is defined in the “MachineType.mwf” file. Thisfile contains the dimensions of each machine type(body points) with a defined origin as the referencepoint. Starting with Fleet 3.1, the offsets from theGPS antenna to the machine origin can also beconfigured in the office and sent to each machine inthe “MachineType.mwf” file. With the configuration ofthe GPS offsets, the reported position of the machinewill be based on the reference point of the machineand not the position of the GPS antenna.

A configurable offset shall be applied to the GPSantenna position when reporting machine position.


Table 14



“$ GPS Offset X”

This key specifies the distance,in meters from the machine ori-gin to the GPS antenna alongthe X axis.

“$ GPS Offset Y”

This key specifies the distance,in meters from the machine ori-gin to the GPS antenna alongthe Y axis.

“$ GPS Offset Z”

This key specifies the distance,in meters from the machine ori-gin to the GPS antenna alongthe Z axis.

Note: If the configuration keys are not present in the“TopeConfig.txt” configuration file, then the defaultvalue is “0” for each offset.

Requesting an Assignment

Note:CMPD refers to the Color Multipurpose Display.

““Request Assignment”” – This icon is abutton on the toolbar for the monitordisplay group (CMPD). This action sends

a message to the office. The office will then sendan assignment to the onboard.

If an assignment is not automatically assigned, atruck operator may request an assignment. Torequest an assignment, touch the “RequestAssignment” button on the toolbar for the monitordisplay group. Also, “Request Assignment” can beselected from the “Actions” menu.

Backup Assignment

Fleet requires trucks to be in communication with theoffice through the wireless radio network for thetrucks to receive assignments from the office.However, some mine sites have dump waypoints thatextend beyond normal radio coverage. If a truck isunable to communicate with the office, a backupassignment will be activated.

A backup assignment can be accepted. Also, abackup assignment can be stored for an unlimitedperiod. Once the truck completes a cycle, and if at theend of an assignment the onboard system has notreceived a new assignment from the office, then thebackup assignment will be used.

Note: The backup assignment will be discarded oncea new assignment is received.

When a truck changes the operating state from“dumping” to “travelling empty” , one of the followingactions occurs:

• The backup assignment is activated if a newassignment has not been received.

• A new assignment that is received will delete theprevious backup assignment.

Note: A backup assignment may only be activatedonce a truck has changed to a “travelling empty”operating state.

If the “$ Buzzer Tone” configuration key is present inthe “TopeConfig.txt” configuration file, then the alarmwill activate when switched to a backup assignment.Set the value of the configuration key to “2” . Thisconfiguration is required for assignment notification.

Selecting a Default Assignment

““Select Assignment”” – This icon is abutton on the toolbar for the monitordisplay group that is used for selecting

Message Log FileWhen a message times out, a message log file iscreated. This means that the message has not beensent successfully. Also, the system has reached theconfigured number of times for the system in sendingthe message again. The data that is written to the fileis one of the following Trimble Mincom AquilaCaterpillar (TMAC ) structures:

• “tmacm_req_desc_t”

• “tmacm_msg_desc_t”

This structure is followed by the user data portion ofthe message.

A timer function on the onboard system periodicallychecks for the existence of the message log file. Thefrequency of this check is determined by the “$Message Log File Interval” configuration key. Thefollowing sequence of internal messaging occurs afterthe creation of the message log file:

• The message times out.

• Message log file is created.

• Timer function checks for the existence of file.

• If timer function finds the file, a file status messageis sent to the office.

• The office receives the file status message. Then,a file action message is sent to the onboardsystem to deactivate the file. Then, the onboardsystem will stop writing to the message log file.

• Fleet on the monitor display group responds witha file status message. The file status messageindicates that the file has been deactivated.

• The office requests the usage of an onboard FileTransfer Protocol (FTP) for the file.

• The office deletes the file with the use of the FTPserver.

The Default Route FileThe default route file contains information that allowsthe onboard system to get a default assignment whenan assignment cannot be received from the office.The file may contain the following items:

• A waypoint

• The default destination for that waypoint

• The other destinations for specified types ofmaterials

The destination waypoint for a dump waypoint is aloading machine waypoint. The destination waypointfor a shovel waypoint is a dump waypoint. When thedefault assignment file is used, the routes that arecreated consist of two types of waypoints: the currentwaypoint and the destination waypoint. Waypointsthat are between the current waypoint and thedestination waypoint are not considered in the defaultassignment route. The waypoints will not bedisplayed. Therefore, a route in a default assignmentis displayed as a straight line.

System Diagnostic File FormatThe “DiagMsgLogxxx.txt” log file will be recorded inthe diagnostic directory that is specified in theconfiguration file with the “$ Diag Directory” key.Multiple log files will be written so this file is notoverwrote on start-up. Before a file is deleted, thenumber of log files that will be written is specified inthe configuration file with the “$ Diag Log File Count=” key. The default value for this key is three. The logfile is a Unicode format. The log file can be viewed inWindows NT Notepad or Microsoft Word .

$ Want Dippers The presence of this keyspecifies that the on-board system on theloading machine will tellthe onboard system onthe truck to send VIMSdipper messages. Thetruck with which the on-board system on theloading machine willcommunicate is thetruck that has sent a ma-terial request message.

$ Want Dippers None None None None

$ Working Directory For NT version only.This key should beplaced in the config filefor NT . This key speci-fies the directory whichis used to interpret otherspecified directories.

$ Working Directory=<drive anddirectory>

Example: $ Working Directory =e:\Tope505

(1) This key is used with the following tools, which assign a tool to the toolbox bar in the onboard system: $ Tools, $ Alt Tools, “$ Other Tools” and$ Other Alt Tools. The sequence of these two keys allows an operator to select an activity type. The operator presses one of the six functionkeys on the keypad for the monitor display group. The “$ Other Tools” and the “$ Other Alt Tools” keys are obsolete.

(2) This key appears when an operator clicks on a tool in the “Key Definitions” help window. This description will also appear in the key icon ifthere is no bitmap available for the specified tool. The number that is specified is to correspondwith the number specified in the “$ Alt Tool”key.

(3) The “Tools” extendedmenu is displayed when the operator presses the arrow key on the keypad for the monitor display group. This key canbe used with the “$ Material Keys” that sets a material type to an onboard system tool.

(4) When present, this key will warn the user that the application does not yet have the configuration files from the office. This key is temporaryafter installation. Also, this key is never generated in the office. This key will be deleted upon overwriting with real configuration files.

(5) This state change will be made automatically even if changes to the traveling state are set for confirmationwith the “$ Travel State =1” key.Presence of key invokes the option.

(6) This key can be specified using one of two date formats. The first format is absolute format. Absolute format allows the user to specify the spe-cific date when the daylight offset will be applied to the local time calculation. The daylight offset is applied in addition to the offset specifiedwith the key “$ Time Zone Minutes” . The second is day-in-month format. If this key is used, the “$ Standard Time Date” key must be speci-fied. The time changes made by this key go into effect after the monitor display group is rebooted.

(7) This address should be the IP address of the computer that is running the office software Gateway . This key should be included in the configu-ration file.

(8) Lat, Long, and elevations may now be displayed in a system information window. The format for degrees may be either tenths of degrees(000.0) or degrees, minutes, and seconds (00 00 00). There is a key to set the display type.

(9) The onboard system has traditionally referred to the second to last waypoint as the destination waypoint, and the last one is the activitywaypoint.

(10) If in message(11) Zero is the least serious type of error, and seven is the most serious. Information at the level specified as well as all higher levels is sent. The

amount of logging increases as the value of the key decreases. With the key configured as “$ Diag Debug Level =0” , all messages arelogged. With a value of “7” only critical messages are logged and the log file will contain fewer messages. If a value of “0” is configured, Cat-erpillar recommends restricting the amount of logging by configuring the following keys: “$ Diag Log File Count” and “$ Diag Max File Size” .

(12) The messages that are logged is determined by the “$ Diag Log Level” key. If characters other than the format options are included in the for-mat string, the characters will be included in the message text. The local date is still written to the file every hour.

(13) Zero is the least serious type of error, and seven is the most serious. Information at the level specified as well as all higher levels is logged.Key is not required.

(14) This number does not need to change unless more messages are excluded than the default value.(15) This number does not need to change unless more messages are included than the default value.(16) If characters other than the format options are included in the format string, the characters will be included in the message text.(17) This state change will be made automatically even if changes to the loading state are set to for confirmation with the “$ Load State =1” key.

Presence of key invokes the option.(18) Do not this state change if the truck has a dump switch.(19) This key uses the speed and time to calculate the distance. Use this method when VIMS is used to get the speed.(20) This key is set by default after the installation of the onboard system is complete. This key must be present for the application to present the ini-

tial configuration window. Whether the window is called manually or automatically, if this key is not present, the window will not be shown.

(Table 31, contd)(21) The Position Velocity (PV) filter is the main filter, and is used to soften the effect of constellation switches on position fixes. The static filter en-

gages when the satellite receiver group is moving slowly. The altitude filter is an averaging filter with a time constant of a few seconds.(22) The fix altitude values are queried from the satellite receiver group after the values are set. This action is to confirm that the values are set to

the correct values. The result of that query is written to the diagnostic file. Do not use this key if there is a grade variation between the lowestand highest positions in your mine.

(23) This key is used with the following tools, which set a tool to a particular tool button on the toolbar for the monitor display group: “$ Tools” , “$Alt Tools” , “$ Other Tools” , “$ Other Alt Tools” . The “$ Other Tools” and the “$ Other Alt Tools” keys are obsolete.

(24) This key is necessary because an operator may shift the machine into reverse while still moving forward, in preparation for coming to a com-pete stop. The brief time that the transmission is in reverse while the machine is still moving forward should not be considered as time movingin reverse.

(25) This key appears when an operator clicks on a tool in the Key Definitions help window. This description will also appear in the key icon if thereis no bitmap available for the specified tool. The number specified should correspond with the number specified in the “$ Other Alt Tools” key.

(26) This key appears when an operator clicks on a tool in the Key Definitions help window. This description will also appear in the key icon if thereis no bitmap available for the specified tool. The number specified should correspond with the number specified in the “$ Other Tools” key.

(27) If the speed of the machine exceeds this value, the machine will be assumed to be moving forward and the display will reflect this change.(28) Error records are positions that are outside of the GPS boundaries. This information is determined by the keys “$ GPS High Position Limit”

and “$ GPS Low Position Limit” ). The value is in seconds.(29) GPS records are positions that are within the GPS boundaries (determined by the keys “$ GPS High Position Limit” and “$ GPS Low Position

Limit” ). This key also requires that the “$ Diag Log Level” key is set to debug level 2 or lower.(30) The satellite receiver group (GPS) will use either the last 3-d position or the entered position as defined in the configuration file.(31) As waypoints are entered, the 2-d elevation will be fixed at that waypoint elevation.(32) This action causes the satellite receiver group to use the elevation of the last assigned loader. Anytime a new assignment to a loader is re-

ceived, the elevation is updated.(33) If this mode is selected, if the onboard system is assigned to a loader, the onboard system will set the 2-d elevation to the loader. Once the

loader is assigned to a dump, the elevation will be set to the last 3-d elevation.(34) This value is affected by the following keys: “$ Heading Filter” “$ Reverse Angle” “$ Reverse Max Speed” .(35) The machine is considered stopped when the speed of the machine is lower than the speed configured with the “$ Stop Speed” key. The posi-

tion stop message is a position report message with the Stop flag set. This key is only applied when the GPS position is DGPS notautonomous.

(36) The following events have the current values listed: #define MW_FAULT_GPSANTand #define MW_FAULT_GPSNOPOS.(37) The font mapper interprets the value specified in “lfHeight” in the followingmanner: If the value is greater than zero, means that the font map-

per transforms this value into device units. Also the value is matched against the cell height of the available fonts., If the value is zero, meansthat the font mapper uses a default height value when it searches for a match and If the value is less than zero, means that the font mappertransforms this value into device units. Also, matches the absolute value against the character height of the available fonts.
