The ability of Product Link to provide visibility to data sent from

an assets electronically controlled components is contingent on
proper integration of the PL device into the assets
communications data link. Reference dealer.cat.com/PL for link
to the CEDE Data Availability by Serial Number Prefix report for a
historical view of what type of data has been provided by each
Product Link device type in the past.
