The assignment map view will be the main view

displayed when using the Fleet Onboard functionally
of the display. Features of the Object Detection
system will be visible in both the assignment map and
camera view.
The visual proximity indicator provides the operator

with a simplified view of the information provided by
the object detection sensors of the machine. The
visual indicator will provide the operator visual
feedback on the position of detected objects anytime
the system is active, and the transmission gear is in
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or FORWARD.
The indicator is divided into five segments and
provides the operator with the gross position of
detected objects relative to the machine.
When there is no object detected, the segment will be
solid black.
When an object is detected in caution level 1 zone,
typically 10 m (32.80 ft) to 12 m (39.37 ft) away from
the machine in the coverage area, the bottom
segment will be solid yellow.
the machine in the coverage area, the bottom two
segments will be solid yellow.
the machine in the coverage area, the bottom three
segments will be solid yellow.
When an object is detected in the critical zone,
the machine in the coverage area, the bottom four
segments will be red.
When an object is detected in the stop zone, typically
2 m (6.56 ft) to 4 m (13.12 ft) away from the machine
in the coverage area, all five segments will be shown
as a solid red bar. The solid red bar will blink one time
per second.

Introduction
Standby
The system is in system fault mode whenever a fault

is detected on one of the object detection sensors, if
communication is lost with the machine controllers or
if the battery voltage is out of the specified operating
range, the system will trigger a fault. A red indicator
located on the display and an audible alarm will be
active for a two second period signifying the disabled
state. Video from the camera will still continue to be
displayed.
Note: The proximity bar will not be visible.
Illustration 7
g02665158
The system can be configured to run in one of two

different standby modes:
Distance In Distance based standby, once the
machine travels 20 m (65.61 ft) the system goes into
standby mode. When the machine stops for x
seconds the system returns to active mode. The x
seconds are set in the Object Detection System
Enable Delay dialog. This delay can be set from 0 to
30 seconds.
Speed In Speed based standby, once the
machine travels above the activation the system
enters standby mode. When the machine slows down
to below the reactivation speed, the system returns to
active mode. The system remains in this state until
the machine has been stopped or travels below the
reactivation speed for the reactivation time that has
been configured. An amber indicator located on the
display screen will signify the standby state.
Note: See the Object Detection Operation and
Maintenance Manualfor additional details on Standby
mode.

Using Fleet Onboard with

Proximity Awareness
Detect Proximity Awareness uses a combination of
hardware and software, both onboard (machine) and
off board (infrastructure and office), to provide
information to the machine operator. The machine
sends GPS position to the office (server) over a
wireless radio network. The office then processes all
of the messages from the individual machines and
broadcast the messages out over the wireless radio
network. The display processes the messages and
calculates machines of interest based on the position
of your machines and the machines around you.

Time Information
SMCS Code: 7605
Messages that go to the office from a machine
include the following two kinds of time stamps:
Position time stamps This time stamp indicates
the time that a machine received position from the
satellite receiver group (GNSS).
TMAC message time stamps This time stamp
indicates the time of a Trimble Mincom Aquila
Caterpillar (TMAC ) message that was sent by a
machine.
Note: All computers in the office software must be
synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The units for the monitor display group will be
synchronized with the use of a Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS).
UTC is the time standard that is used by the onboard

system and related software. UTC is the time on the
zero or the time on the Greenwich meridian . This
time standard does not reflect changes due to
Daylight Savings Time. All times are communicated
between the Onboard System and Office software
as seconds since January 1, 1970 with the seconds
synchronized to UTC. This format allows the date to
be communicated also with the time.
Local Time Versus System Time

The time that is displayed in the digital window of the
monitor display group is the local time. The
calculation for local time is based on system time and
the information on the time zone. These values are
configured with the use of configuration keys. When
the onboard is started, the information of the time
zone for the system time is based on the $ Time
Zone Minutes configuration key. The system time is
set when the onboard receives the first GNSS
position. To set system time, the system applies the
GNSS offset to the value of the GNSS time that was
received. The default value is 13, but the value can
be configured with the use of the $ GPS UTC Offset
key.

to display KPI information that is received from the
office. The following information is included: KPI
identifier and text description.
Material file This file contains the information that
allows the onboard system to display selectable
materials to the operator to use the default route file.
The following information is included: material
identifier and material description text.
Default route file When an assignment cannot be
received from the office, this file contains the
information that allows the onboard system to get a
default assignment. The following information is
included: waypoint, the default destination for that
waypoint and other destinations for specified types of
materials.
Operator checklist file This file contains the
information that allows the operator to complete the
entry of checklist items. The following information is
included: checklist item identifier and text description.
GPS Coordinate Transformation file This file
converts coordinate values from global coordinates to
local coordinates. The appfile.cfg file must be
located in the \storage\ root directory.

VIMS Interaction
The health interface module receives and
acknowledges messages from VIMS . Then, the
health interface module sends the messages in a
Trimble Mincom Aquila Caterpillar (TMAC ) format to
the office software. The health interface module will
attempt to send messages until the office
acknowledges the receipt of the message. The health
interface module has a buffer for storing messages
from VIMS that will be sent to the office software. If
this buffer becomes full or if the office software fails to
acknowledge any messages, the health interface
module will not acknowledge any further messages
from VIMS until the connection is established with
the office.
FTP Server
File transfers between the onboard and the office
software are accomplished with the use of File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). Fleet onboard requires a
running FTP server on the monitor display group. The
FTP server starts automatically at the start-up of
Windows . Also, the FTP server runs independently
of the onboard system. The username and password
used to connect to the onboard through an FTP
connection is set remotely. The username and
password for FTP is determined by the office.

Some windows are useful primarily for truck operators

while other windows are useful primarily for loading
operators. An assignment map window displays the
travel route to a truck operator between a loading
waypoint and a dumping waypoint. As a loading
operator does not travel, an assignment map window
is not useful to a loading operator. A dipper window
provides a loader operator with the amount of
material to load into the next dipper to fill the truck to
capacity. Again as a truck does not load trucks, a
dipper window is not useful to a truck operator. Also,
the status bar on the screen displays different

Truck and Loader

Interaction
Note: When loading is complete, if CAES determines

that the material in the truck has changed from the
material that was indicated in the first dipper
message, the onboard system will assess again the
best destination for the truck. Then, the office will
issue an updated assignment for the truck.
i04727755
General Information (Truck and

Loader Interaction)
SMCS Code: 7605
Basic Operation
This section describes the various messages from
Trimble Mincom Aquila Caterpillar (TMAC ) that allow
communication between Fleet onboard on the truck
with Fleet onboard or Computer Aided Earthmoving
System (CAES ) on the loading machine.
Phase 1
Upon the entrance of a truck into a loading face
waypoint, the status changes to a waiting state.
Fleet onboard on the truck sends a load request
message to Fleet onboard on the loading machine
that indicates the following information: the material
that was loaded on the truck and the operating state
of the truck. The loading machine responds with an
acknowledgment message ( MW_ACK ) that
indicates the position of the loading machine.
Phase 2
A truck that enters a shovel waypoint will change
status to a loading state. Fleet onboard on the
truck sends another load request message to the
loading machine that indicates that the truck is in a
loading state. The loading machine responds with
another MW_ACK message that indicates the
position of the loading machine. Fleet onboard on the
truck verifies that the truck is at the correct loading
machine.
Phase 3
The truck will send a VIMS dipper report to the
loading machine and to the office under the following
conditions: a truck that is equipped with the VIMS
and first dipper load that is received.
When a loading machine that is equipped with CAES
detects the first dipper load that has been placed in
the truck, CAES on the loading machine sends a
dipper message to the office. This dipper message
tells the office the material that is in the truck. The
office then triggers an assignment.
Phase 4
Scenario A
When loading is complete, the machine operator on
the loading machine presses the send truck button
to send a truck sent message to the truck. The truck
sent message indicates that loading is complete to
the truck. Then, the truck sends a load request
message to the loader that indicates that the truck
has changed to the traveling state. The loading
machine sends a load report to the office that
specifies the material that was loaded into the truck
with the truck ID.
If the truck has VIMS , and when loading is complete,
the truck sends a VIMS load message to the loader
and to the office to indicate the truck payload.
Scenario B
When loading is complete, the truck changes to the
travelling state. A load request message is sent to
the loader to indicate a change of state to travelling
. Also, the load request message indicates that the
load is complete. The loading machine sends a load
report to the office to specify the material that was
loaded into the truck as well as the truck ID.
If the truck has VIMS , and when loading is complete,
the truck sends a VIMS load message to the loader
and to the office to indicate the truck payload.
Exceptions to Basic Operation

If the cycle in the basic operation is interrupted, the
following communication messages between Fleet
onboard on the truck and Fleet onboard or CAES on
the loading machine will occur:
Truck leaves before loading
Wrong loader
No CAES dippers
Truck Leaves Before Loading

If a truck leaves the loader before being loaded, Fleet
onboard will send an additional material request
message to the loading machine with the set state to
traveling empty . The truck will be eliminated from
the display on the loader.
KENR9017
39
Wrong Loader
Table 8
Fleet onboard may determine that the truck is at the

wrong loading machine after the truck has sent the
load request. Also, the operator may leave the area
before being loaded. Fleet onboard on the truck
sends a material request message to the first loader
to indicate that the truck will not be loaded. A load
request to the new loading machine is sent.

No CAES Dippers
If CAES cannot identify a dipper that has been
placed in a truck, no dipper message will be sent to
the office. Unless the operator has manually selected
a material, the office will not be aware of the material
that is in the truck.
When loading is complete, a dipper report will not be
sent to the office due to the following criteria:
When loading is complete, CAES on the loading
machine did not initiate a send truck message
When loading is complete, the operator for the
loading machine did not initiate a send truck
message
The dipper count for the next truck that is being
loaded will continue to increment. In addition, a load
message will not be sent to the office.

Machine Position Adjustment

Since the position of a machine is reported according
to the location of the GPS antenna that is installed on
the machine, offsets for the GPS antenna can be
configured with the addition of configuration keys in
the TopeConfig.txt configuration file. In most cases,
the GPS antenna is not installed on the reference
point of the machine. However, the desired position of
the machine to be reported is from the reference
point. The offset values are the distances on each
axis of the GPS antenna measured from the machine
origin.
The location of the reference point for each machine
type is defined in the MachineType.mwf file. This
file contains the dimensions of each machine type
(body points) with a defined origin as the reference
point. Starting with Fleet 3.1, the offsets from the
GPS antenna to the machine origin can also be
configured in the office and sent to each machine in
the MachineType.mwf file. With the configuration of
the GPS offsets, the reported position of the machine
will be based on the reference point of the machine
and not the position of the GPS antenna.
A configurable offset shall be applied to the GPS
antenna position when reporting machine position.

trucks to receive assignments from the office.
However, some mine sites have dump waypoints that
extend beyond normal radio coverage. If a truck is
unable to communicate with the office, a backup
assignment will be activated.
A backup assignment can be accepted. Also, a
backup assignment can be stored for an unlimited
period. Once the truck completes a cycle, and if at the
end of an assignment the onboard system has not
received a new assignment from the office, then the
backup assignment will be used.

Message Log File

When a message times out, a message log file is
created. This means that the message has not been
sent successfully. Also, the system has reached the
configured number of times for the system in sending
the message again. The data that is written to the file
is one of the following Trimble Mincom Aquila
Caterpillar (TMAC ) structures:
tmacm_req_desc_t
tmacm_msg_desc_t
This structure is followed by the user data portion of

the message.
A timer function on the onboard system periodically
checks for the existence of the message log file. The
frequency of this check is determined by the $
Message Log File Interval configuration key. The
following sequence of internal messaging occurs after
the creation of the message log file:
The message times out.
Message log file is created.
Timer function checks for the existence of file.
If timer function finds the file, a file status message
is sent to the office.
The office receives the file status message. Then,
a file action message is sent to the onboard
system to deactivate the file. Then, the onboard
system will stop writing to the message log file.
The destination waypoint for a dump waypoint is a

loading machine waypoint. The destination waypoint
for a shovel waypoint is a dump waypoint. When the
default assignment file is used, the routes that are
created consist of two types of waypoints: the current
waypoint and the destination waypoint. Waypoints
that are between the current waypoint and the
destination waypoint are not considered in the default
assignment route. The waypoints will not be
displayed. Therefore, a route in a default assignment
is displayed as a straight line.
System Diagnostic File Format

The DiagMsgLogxxx.txt log file will be recorded in
the diagnostic directory that is specified in the
configuration file with the $ Diag Directory key.
Multiple log files will be written so this file is not
overwrote on start-up. Before a file is deleted, the
number of log files that will be written is specified in
the configuration file with the $ Diag Log File Count
= key. The default value for this key is three. The log
file is a Unicode format. The log file can be viewed in
Windows NT Notepad or Microsoft Word .

Configuration Keys (Fleet

Onboard)
SMCS Code: 7605
The table below provides a list of the configuration
keys that are used by the onboard system. The
configuration keys are grouped based on the types of
functions. Also, within each grouping, the
configuration keys are listed in alphabetical order.
The default location and the name for the
configuration file is \storage\TopeConfig.txt .
The configuration file must be saved as a Unicode
text file when the file is used on the monitor display
group.
Fleet on the monitor display group responds with

a file status message. The file status message
indicates that the file has been deactivated.
Note: The first text line must be blank or the first text
line must contain a comment.
The office requests the usage of an onboard File

Transfer Protocol (FTP) for the file.
Configuration keys must be in the first column to be

recognized by the onboard system. The spelling and
the format must be exact.
The office deletes the file with the use of the FTP
server.
The Default Route File

The default route file contains information that allows
the onboard system to get a default assignment when
an assignment cannot be received from the office.
The file may contain the following items:
A waypoint
The default destination for that waypoint
The other destinations for specified types of
materials
Note: Ensure that the format for all configuration keys

in the TopeConfig.txt file is correct. Ensure that
there is not a blank space after the = sign in all
instances of configuration keys.

This key is used with the following tools, which assign a tool to the toolbox bar in the onboard system: $ Tools, $ Alt Tools, $ Other Tools and
$ Other Alt Tools. The sequence of these two keys allows an operator to select an activity type. The operator presses one of the six function
keys on the keypad for the monitor display group. The $ Other Tools and the $ Other Alt Tools keys are obsolete.
(2) This key appears when an operator clicks on a tool in the Key Definitions help window. This description will also appear in the key icon if
there is no bitmap available for the specified tool. The number that is specified is to correspond with the number specified in the $ Alt Tool
key.
(3) The Tools extended menu is displayed when the operator presses the arrow key on the keypad for the monitor display group. This key can
be used with the $ Material Keys that sets a material type to an onboard system tool.
(4) When present, this key will warn the user that the application does not yet have the configuration files from the office. This key is temporary
after installation. Also, this key is never generated in the office. This key will be deleted upon overwriting with real configuration files.
(5) This state change will be made automatically even if changes to the traveling state are set for confirmation with the $ Travel State =1 key.
Presence of key invokes the option.
(6) This key can be specified using one of two date formats. The first format is absolute format. Absolute format allows the user to specify the specific date when the daylight offset will be applied to the local time calculation. The daylight offset is applied in addition to the offset specified
with the key $ Time Zone Minutes . The second is day-in-month format. If this key is used, the $ Standard Time Date key must be specified. The time changes made by this key go into effect after the monitor display group is rebooted.
(7) This address should be the IP address of the computer that is running the office software Gateway . This key should be included in the configuration file.
(8) Lat, Long, and elevations may now be displayed in a system information window. The format for degrees may be either tenths of degrees
(000.0) or degrees, minutes, and seconds (00 00 00). There is a key to set the display type.
(9) The onboard system has traditionally referred to the second to last waypoint as the destination waypoint, and the last one is the activity
waypoint.

(11) Zero is the least serious type of error, and seven is the most serious. Information at the level specified as well as all higher levels is sent. The
amount of logging increases as the value of the key decreases. With the key configured as $ Diag Debug Level =0 , all messages are
logged. With a value of 7 only critical messages are logged and the log file will contain fewer messages. If a value of 0 is configured, Caterpillar recommends restricting the amount of logging by configuring the following keys: $ Diag Log File Count and $ Diag Max File Size .
(12) The messages that are logged is determined by the $ Diag Log Level key. If characters other than the format options are included in the format string, the characters will be included in the message text. The local date is still written to the file every hour.
(13) Zero is the least serious type of error, and seven is the most serious. Information at the level specified as well as all higher levels is logged.
(14) This number does not need to change unless more messages are excluded than the default value.
(15) This number does not need to change unless more messages are included than the default value.
(16) If characters other than the format options are included in the format string, the characters will be included in the message text.
(17) This state change will be made automatically even if changes to the loading state are set to for confirmation with the $ Load State =1 key.
Presence of key invokes the option.
(18) Do not this state change if the truck has a dump switch.
(19) This key uses the speed and time to calculate the distance. Use this method when VIMS is used to get the speed.
(20) This key is set by default after the installation of the onboard system is complete. This key must be present for the application to present the initial configuration window. Whether the window is called manually or automatically, if this key is not present, the window will not be shown.

(21) The Position Velocity (PV) filter is the main filter, and is used to soften the effect of constellation switches on position fixes. The static filter engages when the satellite receiver group is moving slowly. The altitude filter is an averaging filter with a time constant of a few seconds.
(22) The fix altitude values are queried from the satellite receiver group after the values are set. This action is to confirm that the values are set to
the correct values. The result of that query is written to the diagnostic file. Do not use this key if there is a grade variation between the lowest
and highest positions in your mine.
(23) This key is used with the following tools, which set a tool to a particular tool button on the toolbar for the monitor display group: $ Tools , $
Alt Tools , $ Other Tools , $ Other Alt Tools . The $ Other Tools and the $ Other Alt Tools keys are obsolete.
(24) This key is necessary because an operator may shift the machine into reverse while still moving forward, in preparation for coming to a compete stop. The brief time that the transmission is in reverse while the machine is still moving forward should not be considered as time moving
in reverse.
(25) This key appears when an operator clicks on a tool in the Key Definitions help window. This description will also appear in the key icon if there
is no bitmap available for the specified tool. The number specified should correspond with the number specified in the $ Other Alt Tools key.
(26) This key appears when an operator clicks on a tool in the Key Definitions help window. This description will also appear in the key icon if there

(27) If the speed of the machine exceeds this value, the machine will be assumed to be moving forward and the display will reflect this change.
(28) Error records are positions that are outside of the GPS boundaries. This information is determined by the keys $ GPS High Position Limit
and $ GPS Low Position Limit ). The value is in seconds.
(29) GPS records are positions that are within the GPS boundaries (determined by the keys $ GPS High Position Limit and $ GPS Low Position
Limit ). This key also requires that the $ Diag Log Level key is set to debug level 2 or lower.
(30) The satellite receiver group (GPS) will use either the last 3-d position or the entered position as defined in the configuration file.
(31) As waypoints are entered, the 2-d elevation will be fixed at that waypoint elevation.
(32) This action causes the satellite receiver group to use the elevation of the last assigned loader. Anytime a new assignment to a loader is received, the elevation is updated.
(33) If this mode is selected, if the onboard system is assigned to a loader, the onboard system will set the 2-d elevation to the loader. Once the
loader is assigned to a dump, the elevation will be set to the last 3-d elevation.
(34) This value is affected by the following keys: $ Heading Filter $ Reverse Angle $ Reverse Max Speed .
(35) The machine is considered stopped when the speed of the machine is lower than the speed configured with the $ Stop Speed key. The position stop message is a position report message with the Stop flag set. This key is only applied when the GPS position is DGPS not
autonomous.
(36) The following events have the current values listed: #define MW_FAULT_GPSANT and #define MW_FAULT_GPSNOPOS.
(37) The font mapper interprets the value specified in lfHeight in the following manner: If the value is greater than zero, means that the font mapper transforms this value into device units. Also the value is matched against the cell height of the available fonts., If the value is zero, means
that the font mapper uses a default height value when it searches for a match and If the value is less than zero, means that the font mapper
transforms this value into device units. Also, matches the absolute value against the character height of the available fonts.
