View Grade Control Device Status

On Remote Access, you can select an asset 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 Grade v2.16 firmware to access these status messages on the application.
• The status updates every ten minutes the asset is keyed on. Manually refresh the page to view the latest data.


From here, you can:
• 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). This will help you further analyze and share with others.

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.
