Tachograph cards
The authorities in the individual EU
member states will issue the tachograph
cards specified by the legislature.
왘
Driver card
The driver uses the driver card to identify
himself to the DTCO 1381. The driver card
is used for normal driving operation and
permits storing, displaying, printing, or
downloading (with only one inserted driver
card) of activities under this identity.
왘
Company card
The company card identifies a company
and authorises access to the data of this
company. With the company card, the
data saved in the data memory of the
Vehicle Unit as well as in the inserted
driver card can be displayed, printed, and
downloaded. If necessary (once per unit),
the entry of the authorising member state
and the official registration number in the
DTCO 1381.
It is also possible to download load data
remotely with the corresponding fleet
management system. This company card
is intended for the owners and operators of
vehicles.
왘
Control card
The control card identifies an official of a
control body (like the police) and permits
access to the data in the data memory. All
saved data and the data of an inserted
driver card are accessible. This data can
be displayed, printed, or downloaded
through the download interface.
왘
Workshop card
Persons of an authorised workshop who
are approved to program, calibrate,
activate, test, etc. will receive the
workshop card.
왘
Locking the tachograph cards
If the DTCO 1381 accepts an inserted
tachograph card, removal of the card will
be mechanically blocked. It is possible to
remove the tachograph card only when:
앫
the vehicle is stationary,
앫 the user requests removal,
앫
after the data defined by the
regulations has been saved on the
tachograph card.
Automatic ejection
If the DTCO 1381 recognises a fault in the
card lock, it tries to transfer the existing
data to the tachograph card before it is
automatically ejected. In this case, the
completeness and authenticity of the data
on the tachograph card can no longer be
guaranteed!
