View Device Details

On Grade Control Systems, you can click more options  of an asset of interest > Device Details to view the status of its paired grade control device (GCD). This lists all available device parameters with the latest values.

With this, you can quickly learn about your asset's health, condition, attachments, auxiliary equipment and more. This helps you take corrective actions and perform further investigations if needed.


• You can only view the status for EC520 grade ECM devices your asset is paired with.
• Upgrade to GCD version to v2.16 firmware or above to access your asset's device details on VisionLink Productivity.
• The status updates every ten minutes the asset is keyed on. Manually refresh the page to view the latest data.


From here, you can perform the following:

• Remotely access  your asset through the Cat Grade system. If the asset is offline, this option will be grayed out.
• Copy  the GCD status as a .json file and paste it where you prefer (text editor applications or email). The pasted content displays with the same formatting as the .json file. This will help you further analyze and share with others.

• Locate  the asset on map view and get directions.

VisionLink Productivity categorizes the device parameters into distinct sections. This helps you quickly scan and navigate to the information most vital to you. The following are the sections and parameters:


• The sections and parameters displayed will vary depending on asset, it’s configuration and paired GCD. It also depends on what available data is sent to the application. 
• If data is not available, then that parameter or section won’t be present. 

  • General: Displayed in full by default. Lists essential GCD-related information.

    • Last Reported: Shows date and time when asset last reported its status. Either displays in local or UTC timezone.
