body control module (bcm) inputs/outputs
• Identify the BCM input and output The BCM (1) is a non-programmable, non flashable ECM which receives input
components. signals from numerous switches and sensors on the machine and also controls a
number of machine functions. The BCM functions similarly to the Switch Panel
ECM in the F Series machines. Information from other ECMs is shared with the
BCM through the CAN 1 (J1939) Data Link and the CAN 2 Machine CAN Data
Link. The main function of the BCM is to control the machine power status. The
BCM can power off components, without turning the engine start switch (3) off, by
controlling power to the main relay.
The BCM receives input signals from the following components:

• Door limit switch (2)
• Refueling switch (attachment) (3)
• Travel alarm cancel switch (4)
• Beacon switch (5)
• Return oil filter bypass switch (attachment) (6)

Based on the input signals, the BCM sends corresponding output signals to the

PRODUCT LINK
• Identify the Product Link options. Product Link connects directly to the Next Gen HEX machines with the CAN/J1939
Data Link and ethernet. Product Link sends messages via cellular or satellite
communication to the Caterpillar back office and can report into either Vision Link
or Product Link Web. This enables the health and status of the equipment to be
viewed securely in a web-based application.
The Next Gen HEX machines are equipped with one of the following Product Link
options:
• PL631: Consists of the PL631 satellite radio (1) and external antenna (2).
• PL641: Consists of the PL641 cellular radio (3), which can be equipped with
either an internal antenna (not shown) or an external antenna (4). The majority
of PL641 systems use the external antenna. The PL641 with internal antenna
has the cellular and GPS antennas built into the radio, and is not equipped
with coax connectors. The PL641 with the external antenna has the coax
connectors (5) and must be connected to the external antenna for it to transmit
data.
• PLE742: Consists of the PLE702 Network Manager (6), the PL641 cellular
radio (7), and optional external antenna (8). The PLE702 Network Manager is
the Product Link ECM that records input data from the various system sensors
through both the CAN/J1939 Data Link and ethernet. As a system, the PLE742
is the Elite installation which has the data logging capability from the PLE702
Network Manager and uses the PL641 cellular radio only to transmit data.

The 320 and 323 machines come standard with the PLE742 Elite system. The
320GC machines come standard with the PL641 system. The PLE742 Elite system
is not available on the 320GC.
NOTE: All Next Gen HEX machines are equipped with the PL631 (satellite
system) in regions without cellular certification.

the CAN 1 J1939 Data Link (5). The throttle switch position can be viewed through
the Service menu on the monitor (3).
The engine speed dial is a 7-position switch. The desired engine speed for each
dial position can be changed through the monitor or Cat ET.
NOTE: The actual engine rpm and torque output will vary, depending on
the setting of the power mode that is selected. The standard mode and
economy mode will change to high hydraulic power mode during travel.

Automatic Engine Speed Control (AEC) Function

• Identify and explain the operation The Automatic Engine Speed Control (AEC) function automatically reduces engine
of the AEC function components. rpm when no hydraulic demand is detected for five seconds, to reduce fuel
consumption and noise.
When the AEC mode is active, the engine speed dial is set to position 3 through 7
and the manual low idle switch is set to OFF. The AEC system in the electronic
controller will automatically reduce the engine rpm to approximately 1000 rpm after
there has been no hydraulic demand for 5 seconds.
The AEC function is activated when the engine start switch is turned to the ON
position. The AEC function can be turned from ON to OFF from the Monitor (3).
The engine rpm will recover automatically to the setting of the engine speed dial (6)
when any hydraulic function is activated. To determine when a hydraulic function is
activated, the Primary Machine ECM (1) monitors,the pump pressure sensors (7),
joystick switches and sensors (8), and travel lever/pedal sensor (9). The Primary
Machine ECM also monitors the straight travel signal.
Any signal from these input components to the Primary Machine ECM is
communicated to the Engine ECM (2) via the CAN 1 J1939 Data Link (5). The
Engine ECM then responds to those signals by raising engine rpm to the engine
speed dial setting.
The One Touch Low Idle function allows the operator to override the AEC and
manually reduce engine rpm. When the one touch low idle switch (10) (on the right
joystick) is pressed, and there is no hydraulic demand from implement, travel, or
auxiliary tool operation (all levers and pedals in the neutral position), engine rpm is
decreased to engine speed dial setting 1 or the selected low engine speed.

Delayed Engine Shutdown Function
• Explain the delayed engine The Delayed Engine Shutdown function allows the engine to run at low idle after
shutdown function. the engine start switch (4) is turned OFF. This function provides a cool down period
for the engine and exhaust system, and also allows the engine to burn soot that
has collected in the exhaust system.
The Engine Shutdown Setting function in the monitor (3) is accessible from
the Machine Settings menus and allows the user to view and change the Idle
Shutdown Delay Timer. The Shutdown Delay Timer regulates the length of time the
engine will continue to run after the key start switch is turned to OFF, allowing the
engine, exhaust, and aftertreatment components to cool down after operation.
If the software loaded in the Engine ECM (2) determines the Delayed Engine
Shutdown function is necessary, the strategy will be activated if the engine start
switch is turned to the OFF position and the hydraulic lock solenoid (6) is
de-energized. The hydraulic lock solenoid is controlled by the Primary Machine
ECM (1) and the solenoid status is communicated to the Engine ECM via the CAN
1 J1939 Data Link (5).
NOTE: If the engine requires an immediate shutdown, turn the engine start
ring to the OFF position and push and hold down the engine start switch
approximately two seconds until the engine stops.

Engine Idle Shutdown Function
• Explain the engine idle shutdown The Engine Idle Shutdown function stops the engine automatically when the
function. machine has been idling for longer than the time programmed delay time in the
monitor (4) and the following conditions are met:
• The control levers are in neutral
• The engine coolant temperature is greater than 70°C (158°F)
• The battery voltage is greater than 24.5V
• The engine speed is less than 2000 rpm
• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 30°C (86°F)
• The Back Pressure Valve (BPV) is not in operation
Before the engine stops, a warning message will be displayed on the monitor.
The software loaded into the Engine ECM (2) activates the Engine Idle Shutdown
strategy when no hydraulic demand has been requested for the set delay time. To
determine when a hydraulic function is activated, the Primary Machine ECM (1)
monitors the following inputs and communicates with the Engine ECM over the
CAN 1 J1939 Data Link (3):
• Travel levers/pedal sensor (5)
• Engine start switch (6)
• Hydraulic lock solenoid (7)
• Pump pressure sensors (8)
• Joystick switches and sensors (9)

• One touch low idle switch (10)
The monitor or Cat ET can be used to change the delay time for this function.

ELECTRIC FANS (E-FANS) CIRCUIT
• Explain the operation of the The Next Gen HEX machines are equipped with electronically controlled fans
e-fans. (e-fans) that circulate air though the radiator, hydraulic oil cooler, and Air-to-Air
Aftercooler (ATAAC). The Primary Machine ECM (3) contains the fan control logic
that controls the e-fans. The Primary Machine ECM (3) communicates with the
BCM (1) to control output current to the e-fans.
The BCM contains the fan current drivers, which send current to the hydraulic oil
cooler e-fans (12), radiator e-fans (13), and ATAAC e-fan (14), as shown by the
green wires. Sending current individually to each fan circuit conserves power.
Battery power is provided to the e-fans through a 125 amp e-fan fuse (11) and to
the BCM through a 15 amp BCM fuse (10).
The Primary Machine ECM communicates with the Engine ECM (2) and BCM
over the CAN 1 J1939 Data Link (4) and also over the CAN 2 Machine CAN
Data Link (5) with the BCM. The Primary Machine ECM receives inputs from the
hydraulic oil temperature sensor (9) and from the coolant temperature sensor (6),
intake air temperature sensor (7), and ambient air temperature sensor (8) via the
Engine ECM. The Primary Machine ECM monitors all these temperature inputs.
The highest temperature (relative to the percentage of its temperature map) is the
controlling temperature for fan speed.
The Primary Machine ECM also monitors any fan motor diagnostic signals through
one feedback wire.
A standard cooling package and a high ambient temperature cooling package are
available. The cooling fans can also be reversed to clean the cooling cores.

is off, to ensure completion of the purge cycle.
When the battery disconnect switch is closed, the negative side of the battery
is grounded and machine electrical power is available. The Engine ECM (3)
supplies power to the DCU power relay (4), which closes to provide power to the
aftertreatment components and transfers power to the keep alive No. 1 relay (2).
The keep alive No. 1 relay closes and provides an alternate ground path for the
negative side of the battery through the keep alive No. 2 relay (5) and the keep
alive fuse (6).
When the disconnect switch is opened before the purge cycle is complete, the
alternate ground path provided by the keep alive relays (arrows) maintains power
to the Engine ECM to complete the electrical path to ground, and the DEF purge
cycle continues.
When the purge cycle is complete the DCU sends a signal to the Engine ECM,
which de-energizes the DCU power relay. With the DCU power relay open, the
keep alive circuit opens and power is removed.
