A fully RP1210A compliant PC-to-vehicle translator device is required to establish communication with the TCM/ECU. Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool currently supports the Dearborn Protocol Adaptor DPA4 USB (SPX P/N J47943) and other devices listed in the latest Allison DOC™ Service Information Letter (SIL), available on the Allison Transmission Extranet.

NOTE: For more information on installation and troubleshooting procedures when using the Dearborn DPA4 USB adapter, please refer to the “DPA4 USB Translator Device (J-47943) Quick Reference Guide” document available at www.allisontrnamission.com/Service/Electronic Tools/Translator Devices.

In order to communicate with the CEC control system, Allison DOC™ For PC– Service Tool requires the Allison Transmission CEC Translator Device. Refer to the above diagrams for P/Ns and contact information. The drivers must be installed from the Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool CD-ROM, located in the Noregon RP1210A API folder.

To communicate with 1000/2000/2400 Series™ transmissions using the J1850 communication protocol (with OBDII trapezoidal diagnostic connector), Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool requires the SPX J1850 VPW translator device. Refer to the above diagrams for P/Ns and contact information. The translator device drivers are automatically installed with Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

3.0 STARTING ALLISON DOC™ FOR PC–SERVICE TOOL

3–1. STARTING THE PROGRAM

There are two ways to start Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool:

Double-click the Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool icon on your PC desktop,

or,

From your PC’s Start menu, select Programs --> Allison Transmission --> Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool. If you stored Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is in another location, follow the path to that location and select Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

3–2. 30-DAY TRIAL

A 30-Day trial is included as part of Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool. The 30-day trial window appears each time Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is started, unless the activation password has been entered. The 30-day trial window displays the number of days remaining in the trial period. At any time before the trial period ends you may enter the activation password. The Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool application will not function after 30 days if a valid activation password has not been entered. Contact SPX Kent-Moore (US and Canada: 1-866-621-2128, International: 1-800-345-2233) to obtain the product activation password.

Once you have the password, enter it into the Password ﬁeld of the 30-Day Trial window and press OK.

3. Click the Reprogramming tab—the Product Authorization window displays.

4. Enter Password information as provided by SPX Corporation and the Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Product Serial Number.

5. Click the APPLY button. Since this is a one-time enabling process, once the TCM/Reprogramming section has been authorized, the Reprogramming tabs becomes disabled (grayed out).

Update Application Tab

Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Updates

Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool updates are stored on Allison’s Service Tool Update Server.

NOTE: To receive updates over the Internet, your PC or laptop must be connected to a telephone line or to some other means of accessing the Internet. A broadband Internet connection is highly recommended.

The Update Application function allows you to:

• Determine if an update is available.

• Download the new version and update Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool.

• Download the new version to your hard drive and update Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool at a later time.

Checking For An Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Update

Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool checks the Update Server for the latest version of the software. You must have an Internet connection to access the Update Server.

1. Click on the Options Menu.

2. Select the Application Conﬁguration menu item.

3. Click on the Update Application tab—the Application Update window

displays.

4. Click on CHECK FOR UPDATE—Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool

accesses the Update Server by way of the Internet. If a newer version of Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool than the one you are using is found on the update server, the newer version can be applied to your current Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool or downloaded to your hard drive. If a newer version is not found on the server, Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool checks your hard drive for a newer version.

If an update is available, either from the server or your hard drive, the CHECK FOR UPDATE button changes to APPLY UPDATE.

If your Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is up-to-date, a message displays indicating you do not need to update.

If the update server is not available and an update is not stored on your PC hard drive, a message displays providing the reason for an update not being available.

Applying An Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool Update

Click the APPLY UPDATE button—the Update Processing window displays.

The latest version of Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool is loaded, either from the update server or from your PC hard drive.

NOTE: If the tool is unable to penetrate the user’s Internet ﬁrewall, click on the displayed URL and download the applicable update.

TAC Data Collection

This function shall only be used/enabled at the request of the Allison Transmission Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to collect WTEC II/III transmission data. The TAC Data Collection tab is only accessible after the TCM/ECU Reprogramming section is enabled. If the TAC Data tab is disabled (grayed-out), either the user hasn’t been authorized for the Reprogramming feature, or the TAC Data has already been enabled.

Enabling TAC Data Collection

1. Click the TAC Data tab—the TAC Data authorization dialog box displays

with a key number.

2. After determining that you are required to use this feature in Allison DOC™,

an Allison TAC representative will contact you to enable this section based upon the Authorization Key data.

3. Enter the password in the Password ﬁeld.

4. Click the APPLY button—TAC Data collection may now be accessed from

the Action Request menu.

NOTE: Unlike the Reprogramming section, the TAC Data Collection requires re-authorization once the technician uses the limited number of exercisable data collections. TAC determines the number of times the technician can use this feature when the authorization password is generated.

1000/2000 Setup and 3000/4000 Setup Tabs

The 1000/2000 and 3000/4000 (4th Gen) Data Setup tabs allow you to individually select the transmission data parameters to be requested from an Allison 4th Generation Controls system and, consequently, displayed on Allison DOC™. The selected data is assigned to Data Packet Identiﬁers (DPIDs), which are identiﬁed by an F (e.g. FE, F9, etc.). A conﬁguration may be saved for future use. Limiting the amount of data to request from a TCM greatly increases the rate of data refresh. In other words, the fewer transmission data parameters you conﬁgure the tool to request, the faster the TCM will be able to send those parameters to the tool. This is particularly important when the user needs to closely monitor certain transmission parameters at higher rates.

On all 4th Generation screens and reports, data that is not being requested by DPID conﬁguration is displayed as “Not Available.” In the graphics monitor, controls associated with unavailable data are disabled. In the selection dialogs for the custom data monitor, Excel export and strip chart parameters that are unavailable will not be displayed for selection.

Anatomy of a DPID

A DPID contains one or more Parameter Identiﬁers (PID). A PID identiﬁes a speciﬁc transmission data parameter. The PID description is the designated name of the PID. The PID size indicates how many bytes the PID uses. A DPID can only hold up to seven bytes of data. A two-character ID, starting with an F, identiﬁes a DPID. Fifteen DPIDs are available: FE, FD, FC, FB, FA, F9, F8, F7, F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0.

Required PID

Some PIDs are assigned by default to a DPID. The pre-assigned PIDs must always be selected in order for certain Allison DOC™ features to work correctly. The Allison DOC™ For PC–Service Tool allows the required PIDs to be reassigned from their default DPID, but does not allow them to be unassigned. A message displays if the required PIDs are not assigned to DPID. The following table lists the required transmission data parameters (with their PID and size).

PID Description Size in Bytes

19D4 Turbine Speed 1941 Input Speed 1942 Output Speed 190B Transmission Input States #1 1909 Transmission Input States #2 190A Transmission Input States #3 3037 GPO Wire On/Off State 3036 GPI Wire On/Off State 190B Transmission Output States #1 3032 Transmission Output States #2 199A Current Gear 1A66 Gear Commanded 3038 Output Speed Acceleration
