Kohler Monitor Iii Software Manual

CDL Gateway

A pre-configured solution that provides a customer communications interface to the Caterpillar® line of Industrial Engines and Generator Sets via different protocols and data maps.

CDL Gateway for Caterpillar^® Engine and Genset Monitoring

The CDL Gateway™ is a simple solution for monitoring any Caterpillar^® engine or genset. It is much more than just a protocol converter, it is a pre-configured solution that provides a customer communications interface to the Caterpillar^® line of products by communicating directly over Cat Data Link, or CDL. This Gateway can be used to set up an efficient and effective CAT^® monitoring system.

D Monitor III, an optional menu-driven Windows r -based PC software, monitors engine and alternator parameters and also provides control capability. See G6-76 spec sheet for more information. D Menu 15 (Protective Relays) is required for optional protective functions and is only available with the Kohler PD-Series switchgear.
Monitor III Software GM41141-KP1 or GM41141-KP2, Version 2.1.0 or higher. Add the user parameters from a backup file and/or enter alphanumeric data. See the Monitor Software Operation Manual for additional items. Note: Monitor II software is no longer supported. SiteTech Software Version 3.4.1 or higher from Tech Tools downloaded on your PC if.

6.3.1 Serial Communication Modbus Address. Assign a unique Modbus address to each device on the network. Monitor III software Set the following communication parameters for serial requires a unique Modbus address to identify the communication. Also see Figure 6-7. Record the address to enter into Monitor III software. Page 99: Usb Port. PM340 power monitor - Modbusr communication board for Decision-Makerr 3+ generator set controllers (required for Modbusr communication) (GM32644-KA1/KP1) - RS-232/RS-485 port converter (GM41143-KP1) - Monitor III software kit with hardware key (GM41141-KP1) - Monitor III software kit with hardware key and 60 Hz device modem (GM41141-KP2).

Features such as the availability of over 400 pre-configured registers, automatic engine detection and configuration, the pulling of parameters at a rate of approximately 20-60 parameters per second and a built-in USB user interface showing all available parameters on a specific installation make this Gateway an essential part of any Caterpillar® engine monitoring system.

More about Caterpillar^® Engine Monitoring

The CDL Gateway™ supports over a hundred different protocols, and has three host ports to choose from including two RS-232 ports, one RS-485 2-wire or 4-wire, and one Ethernet port. In addition, it can accommodate optional input/output modules that allow the user to input bearing temperatures, winding temperatures, fuel level and digital inputs from ancillary equipment. Analog digital outputs allow for remote start/stop on generators and provide analog signals to other control equipment to create a more complete Caterpillar® engine monitoring system to fit your needs.

The convenient USB user interface allows each customer to configure the ports and assign device addresses and IP addresses. Installing a USB driver on a computer in the office or in the field and plugging into the USB port causes the user interface to appear and provides a clear view of each port and the configuration parameters. The user interface also shows you exactly which parameters are responding on your particular installation and the raw value in that parameter.

The CDL Gateway™ currently offers 407 parameters that are available in many industrial engines, marine engines, and generator sets. If you have special parameters that need to be monitored we can easily add those to our Gateway’s capabilities.

Unlike competitive products, the CDL Gateway™ requires virtually no setup. It pre-configures all parameters with pre-assigned mapping allowing the integrator to know from the very start exactly how to program the host device before going into the field for installation. Since there is virtually no setup required, it can be installed and integrated in a matter of minutes.

The CDL Gateway™ is an incredibly flexible product. If your application needs different address assignments, different protocols, or you have different contollers on the network you need to aggregate into our registers, we can quickly and efficiently accommodate your needs using our free software, MonicoView.
