Grade Control Systems

With Grade Control Systems, the attached EC520 grade control devices (GCDs) allow you to connect to the Cat Grade Web Interface on your asset to troubleshoot and change settings, track device details and locate your asset.

View calibration or design files uploaded to the application and ensure they match files uploaded to specific assets on the site. This helps you remotely verify if the correct files are on the asset.

To access this page, navigate to Manage  > Grade Control Systems.
