That Linkedin post shows more pictures. No more MCR3, now has an MCi4 with a UR-1 radio. Can now switch between UHf and 915SS with the push of a button.
@@ctpusa1 yeah I seen your post after I commented on this. Was just interested in which direction Komatsu and Topcon were going with the new 2.0 machines. Topcon’s latest platform is MCX1 with the GNSS receivers in the antennas also utilizing the UR1 for corrections. How does the Topcon system talk to the machine for autos since there is no longer an MCR3 with Valve drivers in it? The GX-55 and the MC-i4 both have no valve drivers. I am assuming they talk via can to the machine?
@@joebradley3 when the Komatsu IMC machines were using MCR3s they utilized an ICT Controller. This is a Komatsu component that allows interface with implements and communication with powertrain components as well. This is an important part of the Komatsu's ability to utilize Proactive Dozing Control because it could monitor speed, track pressures, slippage, etc. The new 2.0 dozer utilize a controller called the NavCom. This is the silver box located under the cover, behind the operator, that has the UR-1 radio mounted on it.
Hey Scott. Great Vid. When you pop that cover in the cab could you let me know if that’s an MCR3 under their? 😀
Also, the new antennas are the new machine fence antennas.
