Appl. No.:
10/646684
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kelly - Dunlap IL, US
Daniel C. Wood - East Peoria IL, US
Alan L. Ferguson - Peoria IL, US
Paul W. Bierdeman - East Peoria IL, US
Brian L. Jenkins - East Peoria IL, US
Trent R. Meiss - Eureka IL, US
Andrew J. Swanson - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709249, 709238, 709224, 709217, 709218, 709219, 709230, 701 24, 370401, 370252
Abstract:
A method and system are provided to perform a process of managing communications in an environment including a mobile work machine having one or more on-board data links connected to one or more on-board modules and a gateway and including one or more off-board data links connected to one or more off-board systems and the gateway. The process is performed by the gateway and includes receiving a request generated by a source device and transmitted on a first data link. In one embodiment, the first data link may be either one of the on-board data links and one of the off-board data links. Based on the request, the gateway selectively executes a server application that performs a server process. Further, the gateway identifies a destination device associated with the request, configures the request to a format compatible with the destination device, and provides the formatted request to the destination device. Additionally, the gateway receives a response to the formatted request generated by the destination device, configures the response to a format compatible with the first data link, and sends the response to a target device over the first data link.

Systems And Methods For Performing Protocol Conversions In A Machine

US Patent:
7532640, May 12, 2009
Filed:
Aug 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/646716
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kelly - Dunlap IL, US
Daniel C. Wood - East Peoria IL, US
Alan L. Ferguson - Peoria IL, US
Paul W. Bierdeman - East Peoria IL, US
Brian L. Jenkins - Washington IL, US
Trent R. Meiss - Eureka IL, US
Andrew J. Swanson - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
H04J 3/16
H04J 3/22
US Classification:
370466, 370352, 370401
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for performing protocol conversions in an environment including a work machine having one or more modules coupled to one or more data links. Such methods and systems may leverage one or more gateways to perform tunneling, translating, and bridging operations. Tunneling processes may include receiving a message from a source module in a first protocol, encapsulating the message within transmission units of a second protocol, and transmitting the encapsulated message via the second protocol. Translating processes may include receiving, by the gateway, a message in a first data link protocol including a parameter identifier. The gateway may match the parameter identifier with a parameter identifier included in a translation table and scale associated parameter data using a scale factor corresponding to a second data link protocol. The gateway may then provide the scaled parameter data to a module using the second data link protocol.

Filed:
May 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/849292
Inventors:
Alan L. Ferguson - Peoria IL, US
Brian Lane Jenkins - Washington IL, US
Trent Ray Meiss - Eureka IL, US
Steven Wayne O'Neal - Bartonville IL, US
Daniel Craig Wood - East Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
G06F 9/44
US Classification:
717173, 717168, 717171, 717172
Abstract:
A method and system are provided to perform a process of wirelessly providing software updates to a target module located in a work machine. In one embodiment, the process includes determining whether a software update condition exists for software stored in the target module and when such a condition does exist, delivering software update data from a remote off-board system to the work machine. Further, the work machine may determine a location of the target module and whether an update delay condition exists. Also, the process may include delivering the software update to the target module if no update delay condition exists, and delaying the delivery of the software update data to the target module if an update delay condition does exist.

US Patent:
7983820, Jul 19, 2011
Filed:
Aug 25, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/646685
Inventors:
Thomas J. Kelly - Dunlap IL, US
Daniel C. Wood - East Peoria IL, US
Alan L. Ferguson - Peoria IL, US
Paul W. Bierdeman - East Peoria IL, US
Brian L. Jenkins - East Peoria IL, US
Trent R. Meiss - Eureka IL, US
Andrew J. Swanson - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
G06F 7/70
US Classification:
701 50, 701 33, 701 36, 701 48
Abstract:
Methods and systems of the present invention are provided for performing proxy control functions in an environment including one or more work machines. Such methods and systems may leverage one or more gateways to serve as a proxy for one or more distinct modules. A gateway, located in a work machine, may be programmed with proxy logic that performs functions associated with certain modules used in a work machine environment. The gateway may monitor a data link and retrieve broadcasted messages. The broadcasted messages may include source and/or destination module address identifiers. The gateway may retrieve messages from the data link based on a determination that the message is destined for a module for which the gateway serves as a proxy. The gateway may route a retrieved message, using a mapping structure, to the appropriate proxy logic that performs functions associated with the destination module.
