Introduction
PCAN-GPRS Link is a hardware and firmware platform for the
recording and forwarding of vehicle data. There are two freely
programmable microcontrollers within the unit which process
internal vehicle data.
The PCAN-GPRS Link is provided as a development platform for
telematic applications.
PCAN-GPRS Link supports the evaluation of FMS and Bus FMS data
(Fleet Management Standard). This produces consumption-related
vehicle data. The DTCO info interface also allows the connection
and processing of a digital tacho with access to information such as
driver identification and driver working time. The GPS module can
be used to determine location and output the direction of travel.
There is an optional expansion to allow any volume of additional
data to be processed, output and recorded. These include
temperature and movement sensors, barcode scanners, RFID
readers, displays and WIFI or Bluetooth connections.
