55M4000UBE00-A Description of the i4000 system of the excavator. This version measures the boom cylinder pressure, the boom angle and the stick angle to indicate safe or critical conditions, while performing slew angle to provide some extra information to the operator. All the sensors are linked through a single CAN bus (Controlled Area Network).
1.4.2 Visual alarm The i4000 system display has been equipped with a 3-colour warning light to alert alarm when the load reaches the approach alarm’s threshold, that is, 90% of the nominal capacity.
55M4000UBE00-A Location and description of typical components 1. i4000 display system: It is also the central processing unit (CPU) of the system. Its principal feature is a CAN Bus communication interface and graphical LCD screen. 2. Central I/O interface: This relay interface module is connected to individual external I/O devices to be controlled or monitored by the i4000 system.
