INTRODUCTION:
The Payload Meter IV (PLM IV) measures, displays, and records the weight of the material that
it is being transported by the truck. The system generally consists of:
The PLM IV controller.
The communication module of the PLM IV.
A load indicator display located in the operator's cabin (panel
ACTIA).
Charging indicator lights.
Scoreboard (optional).
Pressure sensors in the 4 suspensions.
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PLM III:
Increase in loading cycle storage.
‹ Capacity increased to 20480 records (PLM III = 5208).
‹ Expanded route cycle record
Improved accuracy of the inclinometer. The PLMIV uses two inclinometer chips.
integrated into the controller.
Simple software update procedure.
There are no PC software tools.
User interface: Ethernet, WiFi, USB Flash Drive.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS:
The PLM IV uses many components that are also used in the PLM III:
Pressure sensors on the 4 suspensions.
Inclinometer, in the case of the PLM IV now has 2 inclinometer chips that
they are integrated in the controller.
Speed input to the controller so that it can perform the
different calculations.
Hopper switch up.
Brake lock switch
DESCRIPTION OF NEW COMPONENTS: ACTIA Panel
The top line can be configured for:
ò RPM
ò Hour meter
The bottom left box always shows for
defect the load in tons.
You can navigate in the panel to show
PLM parameters.
Hundreds of tons
DESCRIPTION OF NEW COMPONENTS: Operator switches
In addition to alternating through
warning and information screens
varied from the truck.
The switches are used to configure,
view and clear the loading counter
total and the total counter of tons of
meter payload.
It is also used to introduce the
operator identification number
(0000-9999) and see the pressures of
suspension and inclinometer.
DESCRIPTION OF NEW COMPONENTS: PLM IV Modules
PLM IV controller protected by a
aluminum black box.
PLM IV communication module
provides visual and user interfaces
connection for the user. The board has
3 external connectors:
‹ An RJ45 Ethernet connector
10/100Mbps.
‹ Two USB ports.
DESCRIPTION OF NEW COMPONENTS: PLM IV Modules
The communication module has 5 LEDs
indicators to be able to monitor the status of
system:
The USB1 and USB2 indicators are active.
when the unit is providing
feeding. The lights are inactive due to
overcurrent or erroneous initialization, and it
they can be erased by a system reboot.
The LINK indicator is the Ethernet connectivity.
and blinks during communication between the
systems.
The PULSE LED switches on/off every second to indicate
that the system is on and functioning.
The HAUL indicator is reserved for future use.
OPERATION AND CALCULATION OF THE PLM IV:
The operation and functioning of the PLM IV consists of 8 states just like the
PLM III. This presentation will not touch on this point.
CONNECTION WITH THE PLM IV WEB SERVER:
The PLM IV web server allows for
the users configure the system
(PLM IV) and download the cycles of
load and alarms.
The PLM IV connects to the server of
a computer through a cable
Cat5e from the Ethernet port
RJ45
Once connected, you can use a
web browser like Internet
Explorer, Google Chrome, etc. for
access the web server.
NOTE: The static IP address of
computer must be configured
in the same range as the PLM IV.
CONFIGURATION OF STATIC IP ADDRESS:
To configure the computer's IP, follow these steps:
Right-click on an icon of
connection in the bottom corner
right side of your screen.
2. Click on 'Open the Network Center and'
shared resources.
3. Then click on 'Change'
adapter configuration.
CONFIGURATION OF STATIC IP ADDRESS:
6. Right-click on the icon
of 'Local Area Connection' and
choose the option
Properties.
7. In the pop-up window
choose 'Internet Protocol'
version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
STATIC IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION:
8. The 'Protocol' window is open
of Internet version 4
(TCP/IPv4), choose the option
Use the following IP address.
In IP Address put:
[Link]
In subnet mask:
[Link]
9. Click on accept.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE PLM IV:
Once it is established the
IP address, open a browser
from the internet.
2. In the address bar
write the IP '[Link]'.
3. If the IP configuration is
I do it correctly
the image that will appear
requests "Username" and
Password
4. In Username put 'plm' and
In Password enter 'pass'.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE PLM IV:
Successfully entered the
Username and Password
the main screen will appear
from PLM IV.
6. This screen shows the
different options that
we have in the system.
REAL TIME DATA PAGE:
On the real-time data page we can observe:
Suspension pressure values.
Truck speed.
Charging cycle status.
Digital outputs and other vital information.
The page refreshes at intervals of 1 second.
PLM IV CONFIGURATION:
° The settings page has
the save option
permanently the
specific configuration of
truck.
° There is no need to restart the
PLM IV for changes
they have an effect.
PLM IV CONFIGURATION:
Onboard orientation
of the inclinometer Truck model
Units for the
operator display.
Units of the
pressure sensors.
Configuration of
date and time.
PLM IV CONFIGURATION:
Load light test
Payload Gain Factor
Tare reset of the truck.
TRUCK CONFIGURATION:
° This page allows the user
configure the headers of
charging cycle data, data
in real time and alarm data
for the download files of
registered data.
° These fields include the
truck serial number
customer unit number,
distributor information, and the
customer information.
INCLINOMETER CALIBRATION:
TRUCK TARE CALIBRATION:
° The PLM IV uses the tare value
to calculate the value of
carryback in each loading.
° This procedure must be
executed after it is given
service to the suspensions or
when changes occur
significant in the sprung weight
of the truck.
SOFTWARE UPDATE THROUGH USB:
° PLM IV has the capability to
update your software in the field.
° The user can obtain the latest
software version on the extranet of
Komatsu, next,
decompress and copy the file to
a USB memory unit with
FAT32 format.
° The software number is always the
next 58B06026xx always.
Where xx is the version number
secondary. For example, the file
the latest software is
58B0602604.S19).
° This is the method to always apply
we want to update the software
in the field.
VIEW PLM IV ONLINE DATA:
° The option 'View Payload Meter Data'
gives us the possibility to see the
cycles of letter and system alarms
online
Cycle data Alarms of
online online system
DATA DOWNLOAD:
The system also allows us to
able to download:
° Cycle data in format.
° System alarms.
° These will be downloaded in format
