VHMS - Section 60 10/11 OM6011 Page 60-10 PAYLOAD - CYCLE DATA ITEM The payload measurements, which are recorded as data, apply to the haul payload in the applicable cycle. Confirming recorded payload: Use this function to change how a haul payload is confirmed. 1. At the dumping point, record the payload when the dump lever is moved from FLOAT to any position other than FLOAT. The following two methods can be used for confirm- ing the haul payload. 1. At the dumping point, record the payload when the dump lever is moved from FLOAT to any position other than FLOAT. 2.
Process the data sampled when traveling from the loading point to the dumping point, then confirm and record the payload when dumping. 2. Process the data sampled when traveling from the loading point to the dumping point. Then confirm and record the haul payload when dumping. Other Settings If it is necessary to correct the data or time during the download, please consult your Komatsu distributor. When the machine is shipped from the factory, method (1) is used. The method for processing and confirming the pay- load in method (2) is useful if the dumping point is at an angle.
If the payload and external display lamp display is different, or there is some error in the directory where the data is downloaded by the software, there may be an error in the machine setting. Please consult your Komatsu distributor. If it is necessary to change the method for confirming the haul payload, consult your Komatsu distributor for instructions. For computers that don’t have a RS232C port, it may be possible to use a third party USB- RS232C conversion adapter. However, this does not guarantee the operation. In addition, the download software supports COM1 and COM2, so check which port it can be connected to.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS Additional functions are available, but for normal use, there is no need to make any changes. If it is neces- sary to change these settings, please consult your Komatsu distributor. The payload meter has the function of communicating with the external equipment prepared by the customer. For details, please check with your Komatsu distributor. However, communications are carried out using the RS232C port for downloading, so in this case, it is impossible to download the data from the inside or outside of the cab. Travel distance: Travel distance is used to recognize completion of loading.
The payload meter determines that the cycle is complete when the machine has traveled 160 m (525 ft) continuously from the loading point. If the dumping point is within 160 m (525 ft) from the load- ing point, the system will not recognize that a dump has occurred. Therefore, the cycle data will be incomplete. In instances where the loading point and the dumping point are extremely close, use this func- tion to change the setting needed to recognize the completion of a cycle.
