Extracting Key Data from Cat 390
The Cat 390 is a large, heavy-duty excavator designed for high-production digging, quarrying, and earthmoving. It is powered by a C18 ACERT 523 HP engine, delivering exceptional breakout force and efficiency. With an operating weight of 86,840 kg, a digging depth of 7.92 meters, and an incredible breakout force of 472 kN, the Cat 390 is engineered for tackling the toughest excavation jobs.
Equipped with Cat’s Advanced Hydraulic System, the 390 ensures maximum power while reducing fuel consumption. Multiple work modes, intelligent power management, and electro-hydraulic controls make the machine highly adaptable for different job site conditions. However, without real-time monitoring of CAN bus data, tracking fuel efficiency, component wear, and system health can be a challenge.
Why AutoPi CAN-FD Pro?
AutoPi CAN-FD Pro is the perfect solution for integrating real-time J1939 CAN bus data logging into the Cat 390. It provides insights into engine performance, hydraulic pressure, fuel consumption, and fault diagnostics. With CAN-FD technology, AutoPi enables high-speed, precise data logging, allowing operators and fleet managers to make data-driven decisions.
