When it comes to off-highway engine and equipment diagnostics, it is an entirely different world compared to on-highway commercial trucks. This market covers everything from agriculture to construction to stand-alone engines used in generators, air compressors, pumps, and quite a few more. We are going to cover these by each manufacturer, so that you can see what the hardware costs would look like.However, before we go into that, the important thing to remember with any diagnostic tool is that you need at least three components: a computer, software, and the hardware interface to go between the equipment and the computer. There are two very important differences to note when comparing off-highway to on highway diagnostics.First is the hardware.
In the commercial truck world, a standard has been created. This was mainly since multiple components are used by multiple truck makers, so everything had to be standardized. You can read more about this on another post we did. However, this standard does not exist in the off-highway world. There is very rarely any “sharing” of components such as transmission and ABS. Because of this, a lot of manufacturers chose their own diagnostic connector style, and most made their own vehicle network that is proprietary to just them.The second is the software. In the commercial truck world, most software is available to purchase outside of the dealerships, and there also exists aftermarket software such as PF-Diagnose, JPRO, and others.
However, in the off-highway world the software is rarely sold outside the dealerships. What people most often find is pirated software, and it is usually older versions.
The other change here is that in almost every situation the OEM specific off highway diagnostic software will.only. work with the OEM specific adapter. This means you must now purchase a specific adapter for each manufacturer, all of which are very expensive.In comparing and learning, we recommend you also check out our.
You will find that this tool costs a fraction of the hardware listed below, has no required annual fees, and includes repair information.On that note, we will now take a little more detailed look at the more popular off highway engines and equipment in the marketplace. CAT has long been the dominant player in the construction industry and continues to be today. The software you are looking for in this case is the CAT Electronic Technician, or CAT ET for short. This software is typically released 3 times per year. If you find a copy of CAT ET 2017B, you are looking at the 2017 version B software.
The next release would be 2017C, and so on.CAT will very rarely sell their diagnostic software to anyone outside of their dealership group. If they do sell it, it is most likely to a VIP customer. If you are fortunate enough to obtain the diagnostic software from CAT, you would also need to purchase their CAT Communication 3 adapter, also known as the CAT Comm III.The other important thing to note is that not all CAT engines are CAT engines. The smaller engines could be another manufacturer but painted yellow. The example shown below is a CAT engine and marked as such, but it is really an FPT engine.The other one that comes up in the discussion of CAT is Perkins. CAT is the owner of Perkins, and while there is a separate tool that is labeled Perkins, it is just a CAT Comm III.
You can use the CAT adapter with both Perkins and CAT equipment. The software you are looking for is called Premium Tech Tool, or PTT for short. This one software program is used by Volvo across the globe for equipment, marine, truck, generator, and more. Currently you can only purchase the “truck” license of the program, which means obtaining the other licenses legally is virtually impossible.For the hardware side, the.
This adapter isn’t cheap, as it comes with no cables. Of course, Volvo decided to make all the cables with a specialty connector, so even the USB cable is almost $300. Expect to spend around $2,300 to get an original adapter with the cables you need.
Alternatively, we have been told that a standard adapter such as the DPA5 or DrewLinQ will work just fine, but we have never tested it and Volvo doesn’t recommend this. Case New Holland software required a special adapter, called the CNH DPA5. Often customers ask us if the normal DPA5 will work, and it will not. The programming is completely different. This adapter is the only one that will work with the genuine CNH software, which.For the software side, you will need to use the CNH EST software.
As with most software for this industry, you will find it almost impossible to obtain legally. While you may find some copies of the software available overseas or on secondary websites like Craigslist, these are always pirated software.
Most people relate Cummins engines to the diagnostic software called Cummins Insite, which they would be correct. We do sell Cummins Insite licenses, but Cummins only allows us to sell truck licenses for their software, not others. Furthermore, Cummins is on version 8.3 as of the date of this blog, so you may see people selling off highway versions of the software on the Internet. These will always be v7.x, and they will always be pirated and illegal software. Again, we recommend staying away from this.For the hardware side, Cummins does place nice in this aspect that any RP1210 adapter will function appropriately. This can include adapters such as the, and even the CAT Comm III adapter.

Most often you won’t need to purchase a special adapter to use Cummins Insite on Cummins equipment.
