Systems and methods for remote industrial machine communciation system diagnostics and solutions
Systems and methods of diagnosing a communication system within an industrial machine. The method includes receiving, from the industrial machine, communication system data of the communication system of the industrial machine and determining whether the received communication system data indicates an occurrence of a communication system issue. The method further includes determining whether the received communication system data includes one or more dismissive parameters in response to determining that the received communication system data indicates the occurrence of the communication system issue. The method also includes analyzing the received communication system data to determine whether a remote resolution to the communication system issue is available and transmitting the remote resolution to a user associated with the industrial machine in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system issue is available.
1. A method of diagnosing a communication system within an industrial machine comprising:
receiving, from the industrial machine, communication system data of the communication system of the industrial machine;

analyzing the received communication system data to determine whether a remote resolution to the communication system issue is available in response to determining that the received communication system data does not include the one or more dismissive parameters; and
transmitting the remote resolution to a user associated with the industrial machine in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system issue is available.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein dismissive parameters include at least one selected from a list consisting of a reprogramming code, a low battery voltage code, and a controller swap code.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the reprogramming code is a DM13 message.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a service center alert in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system is not available, wherein the service center alert generates a new maintenance request for the industrial machine.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a position of the industrial machine;
determining whether the position of the industrial machine is within a predetermined distance of a service center based on the received position; and
generating a service center alert in response to determining that the industrial machine is within the predetermined distance.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication system is a J1939 communication system.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether a signal indicating that the determined communication system issue is resolved; and
generating a service center alert in response to determining that the determined communication system issue is not resolved within a predetermined time period.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether a signal indicating that the determined communication system issue is resolved; and
generating a service center alert in response to determining that the determined communication system issue is not resolved within a predetermined time frame.
9. A system for diagnosing a communication system within an industrial machine, comprising:
a service system in communication with a telematics unit of an industrial machine via a communication protocol, wherein the service system includes an electronic processor configured to:
receive, from the industrial machine, communication system data associated within the communication system;
determine whether the received communication system data indicates an occurrence of a communication system issue;
determine whether the received communication system data includes one or more dismissive parameters in response to determining that the received communication system data indicates the occurrence of the communication system issue;
analyze the received communication system data to determine whether a remote resolution to the communication system issue is available in response to determining that the received communication system data does not include the one or more dismissive parameters; and
transmit the remote resolution to a user associated with the industrial machine in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system issue is available.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein dismissive parameters include at least one selected from a list consisting of a reprogramming code, a low battery voltage code, and a controller swap code.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the reprogramming code is a DM13 message.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the electronic processor is further configured to generate a service center alert in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system is not available, wherein the service center alert generates a new maintenance request for the industrial machine.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the electronic processor is further configured to:
receive a position of the industrial machine;
determine whether the position of the industrial machine is within a predetermined distance of a service center based on the received position; and
generate a service center alert in response to determining that the industrial machine is within the predetermined distance.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the communication system is a J1939 communication system.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the electronic processor is further configured to:
determine whether a signal indicating that the determined communication system issue is resolved; and
generate a service center alert in response to determining that the determined communication system issue is not resolved within a predetermined time period.
16. A method of diagnosing a communication system within an industrial machine comprising:
receiving, from the industrial machine, communication system data of the communication system of the industrial machine;
determining whether the received communication system data indicates an occurrence of a communication system issue;
determining whether the received communication system data includes one or more dismissive parameters in response to determining that the received communication system data indicates the occurrence of the communication system issue;
analyzing the received communication system data to determine whether a remote resolution to the communication system issue is available in response to determining that the received communication system data does not include the one or more dismissive parameters;
transmitting a request to the industrial machine to provide additional information in response to determining that the remote resolution is not available; and
transmitting the remote resolution to a user associated with the industrial machine in response to determining that the remote resolution to the communication system issue is available.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising generating a service center alert in response to no additional information being received in response to the transmitted request for additional information.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein dismissive parameters include at least one selected from a list consisting of a reprogramming code, a low battery voltage code, and a controller swap code.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the reprogramming code is a DM13 message.
20. The method of claim 16 , wherein the communication system is a J1939 communication system.
