INTRODUCTION
• Identify and explain the functions The 777G is equipped with the VIMS™ 3G and Advisor as the main monitoring
of the components of VIMS™ 3G system. The VIMS 3G monitors various Machine and Engine ECMs and delivers the
with Advisor machine status data to the Advisor panel and/or the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster is a cab display that shows the operator status of the various
machine parameters and alerts the operator of specific machine conditions.
The ECMs and Advisor panel communicate over the Cat Data Link. The Advisor
panel communicates with the instrument cluster over the CAN Data Link. The VIMS
3G modules receive information from machine switches and sensors via the Machine
ECMs.
The VIMS 3G is a state-of-the-art onboard system with the following features:
• Machine systems are monitored for the operator/technician.

• The productivity information for the payload is measured by the system
and stored in onboard memory. This information can be downloaded
later for analysis.
• Abnormal machine conditions and/or incorrect operation of the truck
are identified. The diagnosis of these abnormal conditions will allow the
operator to modify the operation of the machine to correct the problem.
The service technician is able to schedule maintenance for the machine
if the condition is not related to the operation of the machine.

• Information that can help predict potential problems before failures

can be identified. This allows the maintenance of the machine to be
scheduled during the preventive maintenance servicing interval.
VIMS 3G modules use the following links to transfer data to and from the VIMS 3G
Main module:
• Cat Data Link - This two-wire data link allows communication between
VIMS 3G and the other Machine ECMs.
• Ethernet
- This three-wire data link enables communication between
VIMS 3G and the service tool (laptop computer).
• CAN Data Link (J1939) - The CAN is also a two-wire data link
equipped with fixed resistance at each end allowing communication
between the VIMS 3G Main module, the VIMS 3G Application module,
the Engine ECM, and the Machine ECMs.
VIMS 3G module uses three types of data. The three types of data listed below are:
• Internal - The data is generated within the VIMS 3G Main module. The
date and time are examples of internal data.
• Communicated
- The data is received through the Cat Data Link and/
or the CAN Data Link from other machine systems. For example, the
engine speed is received through the Cat Data Link from the Engine
ECM.
• Calculated - Data that is mathematically determined by VIMS 3G
internally.
The VIMS 3G Main module sends and receives information over the Cat Data Link
and CAN Data Link supporting list events, snapshot, data logger, histogram, trends,
totals, and payload functionality. VIMS 3G no longer is responsible for generating
all events within the system. Events will now be generated by the various ECMs on
the machine and VIMS 3G will record a list of the occurrences as reported by the
other ECMs.
The VIMS 3G Application module receives data from the left front, left rear, right
front, and right rear strut pressure sensors. This sensor data assists the VIMS 3G
Application module with configuring the payload calculations.
The VIMS 3G Application module grounds the individual relays to illuminate the
payload monitoring lamps. When loading begins, the green light will illuminate.
When the VIMS 3G module determines that the truck is one load away from the total
payload, the red light will flash. After the truck is at full payload, the red light will stay
illuminated.
NOTE: The optional scoreboard display replaces the red and green payload
monitoring lamps.
Flashing and downloads are performed by using either the cab or bumper service
connector. Cat Data Link and CAN Data Link are both accessible using the bumper
service connection.

• Identify the instrument cluster Shown is the Instrument Cluster located in the center of the front dash panel. The
indicators and gauges Instrument Cluster includes 18 dash indicators, five analog gauges, and a LCD digital
display (below the tachometer). The LCD display window includes the truck speed,
gear, and direction on the top of the display and the service hour meter on the bottom
of the display.
The five parameters monitored by the analog gauges are:
• Engine coolant temperature (6)

• Brake oil temperature (2)
• Engine speed (center)
• Torque converter oil temperature (22)
• Fuel level (26)
The Instrument Cluster also contains a backlit LCD display. The LCD display
indicates ground speed at the upper left of the LCD display. The Service Hour Meter,
indicating total engine hours, is shown at the bottom of the LCD display. The LCD
display is equipped with an “Active Event/ Diagnostic Indicator,” which illuminates if
any event or diagnostic code is active.

Up to 18 mode/alert indicators are contained in the Instrument Cluster. Depending

on how the truck is equipped, some of the indicators may not be active. These
indicators are activated by Advisor through the CAN Data Link. Depending on the
mode of operation or status, the indicators will be illuminated when the associated
machine modes are activated or when abnormal machine conditions exist. The
illustration shows the following mode/alert indicators:
• Left turn (4)

• Throttle lock (5)
• Primary steering (loss) (7)
• Secondary steering (8)
• Engine system - check (9)
• Parking brake engaged (11)
• Brake system - check (10)

NOTE: At machine start-up (key ON), the LCD display in the Instrument Cluster
will briefly display the Instrument Cluster’s part number. The Advisor ECM
software is model specific also, reflecting the differences between Instrument
Clusters. The Instrument Cluster and the Advisor software must match for the
Instrument Cluster to operate properly.

• Explain the warning categories Advisor provides four warning categories utilizing a “pop-up” warning message on
Advisor’s screen. The front action lamp (contained in the instrument cluster), the
rear action lamp, and an action alarm are used in different combinations to signal the
operator. The four warning category indicators are:
• Level 1 Warning: A warning appears on the Advisor screen, describing

the event or diagnostic failure. The Action Lamp will illuminate to solid
amber. The warning can be acknowledged (snoozed) by pressing the
OK button, and will not re-appear for several hours, depending on the
failure or event (or if the event or failure does not reoccur). The Level
1 Warning will result in the Active Event/Diagnostic Indicator being
illuminated.
the event or diagnostic failure. The Action Lamp will flash red, alerting
the operator to change the machine operation mode. The warning can
be acknowledged (snoozed) by pressing the OK button, and will not
reappear for one hour, depending on the event or failure (or if the event
or failure does not reoccur); pressing the OK button will also stop the
light from flashing.
• Level 2S Warning: A warning appears on the Advisor screen,
describing the event or diagnostic failure. The Action Lamp will
flash red and the Action Alarm sounds continuously, alerting the
operator to change the machine operation mode. The warning can be
acknowledged (snoozed) by pressing the OK button.


the event or diagnostic failure. The Action Lamp will flash red, and the
Action Alarm will pulse to alert the operator to shut down the machine.
The Action Lamp will continue to flash red and the Action Alarm will
continue to pulse after the operator acknowledges the warning. If
applicable, the appropriate system check light will illuminate.
NOTE: A Level 3 indicates that a serious failure has occurred in the specified
machine system. Machine damage is most likely imminent and/or the safe
operation of the truck may be compromised. The operator should immediately
shut down the machine and service personnel should investigate the problem
before continuing machine operation.

ADVISOR MENUS
• Explain the function of the The Advisor panel, located in the front dash, supports the instrument cluster in
advisor panel manipulating data from the VIMS 3G Modules, the Engine ECM, and the Machine
ECMs. Data shared between the Instrument Cluster and the Advisor panel travels
over the CAN Data Link. Data flowing between the Advisor panel and the ECMs
travels over the Cat Data Link. At machine start-up (key ON), an introduction screen
appears and Advisor performs a self-test routine. After a few seconds, the main
screen will appear as shown in the illustration.
Five user interface buttons on the right side of the Advisor screen are used to navigate
through the numerous Advisor screens, to make menu selections, or to enter data.
The functions of the user interface buttons are:
LEFT/UP Arrow Button (1) - This button is used for screen navigation or data entry
and can be used to scroll up a vertical list, scroll left across a horizontal list, or adjust
a setting.
DOWN/RIGHT Arrow Button (2) - This button is also used for screen navigation
or data entry and can be used to scroll down a vertical list, scroll right across a
horizontal list, or adjust a setting.

BACK Button (3) - This button is used:
• to go up one level in a stair-step (hierarchical) menu structure, or to

return to the previous screen, much the same as the BACK Button is
used in Windows Internet Explorer™;
• as a backspace or cancel key when the operator or technician wishes to
delete entered characters.
HOME Button (4) - This button is used to return to the home menu screen, regardless
of what screen is currently displayed.
OK Button (5) - This button is used:
• to make selections from a screen;

• to confirm an entry, such as a password, or for saving an operator
profile entry.
Navigation through the menus and sub-menus is accomplished by using the ARROW
Buttons (6) to highlight the desired selection, then pressing the OK Button. The
ARROW Buttons are also used to highlight a mode or to set a parameter. Pressing
the OK Button selects that option.
NOTE: The five buttons at the left of the display screen function as presets.
The operator can navigate to any screen, then return to the desired screen by
presetting that button. Initially, no function is available until programmed and
saved with a profile. The preset buttons will flash green when a screen is stored
or red if the screen is not allowed to be stored.

• Explain the operator menu The “Operator” option allows the operator or technician to access the Operator
selection Profile Menu. From the Operator Profile Menu, the operator may select, edit, create,
delete, or save changes to an operator profile. The operator may also reset a profile
back to factory settings or recall the previous setting used, regardless of what profile
was last used.
An Operator Profile is a personalized set of preferences (file) identified by a name.

Once created, the operator may associate various parameters for implement modes
and settings, display settings, and power train settings to that profile. After all of the
parameters have been adjusted to the operator’s preference, the operator may then
save the parameters for future use. These parameters are set using the “Settings”
option that will be discussed later in this module.
NOTE: If the Advisor panel display receives a power disconnect before six
minutes of saving the profile, the profile will not be saved. However, if the
Advisor panel display receives a key switch cycle, the profile will be saved.

A snapshot records data from all the available parameters on the truck from five
minutes before the snapshot was triggered to one minute after the snapshot was
triggered.
NOTE: The Snapshot Status does not currently update in Real Time. It only
responds when the OK is pressed. The current VIMS 3G configuration file
allows for two snapshots to be captured. So after the first snapshot has been
triggered from Advisor, the snapshot status will still remain as “Performed” even
after the snapshot data has been fully captured. To trigger another snapshot,
highlight the “Trigger Snapshot” item and press the OK button again. Even
though the snapshot status will still remain as “Performed,” a second snapshot
will be triggered.
If a user attempts to trigger a snapshot after two snapshots have already been
triggered, the snapshot status will change to “Full” and the snapshot will not be
recorded.

Once the snapshot status is Full, the Snapshot data should be downloaded and
reset from VIMS 3G so that more snapshots can be recorded in the future.
It is also possible for a snapshot to be triggered based on events that occurred on

the machine. The specific event(s) that trigger the snapshot is user configurable and
must be included in the VIMS 3G configuration file.
