Master CAN
A modern automobile has dozens of compound electronic devices on-board. Increasingly, CAN bus is used for data exchange between devices. The purpose of MasterCAN products is integration of automobile CAN bus and elements of transport telematics systems. MasterCAN devices are intended to put the operation of telematics terminals with CAN input to a qualitatively new level and allow you to:
safe data readout of automobile CAN bus;
organization of telematic CAN bus with maximum needed dataset;
intelligent combining of several CAN buses;
signal reception of analog sensors, their digital conversion and transmitting to the CAN bus;
identification of the necessary information inside the CAN bus and its transmitting over interfaces that are available in telematic terminal (analog, RS-232, RS-485).
Transport tracking and fuel consumption monitoring systems are intended to help in effective vehicle fleet management. Delivery of reliable information about vehicles and drivers means receiving, processing and analyzing of tens and hundreds of parameters on the automobile operation. Receiving of signals from sensors and systems is the most difficult task for integrators of monitoring solutions for today, because nowadays there are great number of car brands and models used by transport service.
In CAN bus there are arrays of information that has a great value for the transport telematic systems. Data about vehicle technical status and operation that are collected and processed by the MasterCAN devices can be very useful for the manager who is eager to optimize costs and increase efficiency of the vehicle fleet.
FUEL FLOW MEASUREMENT
At a time when fuel prices are rising globally the most urgent task is fuel monitoring. Fuel monitoring systems are developing, and GPS vehicle tracking systems too, and now appeared to the synthesis of both systems.
Fuel monitoring systems receive the information remotely and in relation to the coordinates and time. Application of techniques of fuel monitoring allows vehicle tracking systems to dramatically increase the functionality, providing the user with information not only about the location and speed of the vehicle, but to answer a wide range of issues relating to fuel monitoring:
Fueling control gives user of GPS vehicles tracking system to monitor where, when and how much fuel was filled into the tank; it avoids the manipulation of fuel and, consequently, reduces the operating costs of transport. Information on raising or lowering the level of fuel comes from fuel level sensor, and vehicles tracking system with the help of GPS determines the location and time. The volume of fueling is determined using the calibration table that is either in a terminal of vehicle tracking system, either in the software of vehicles tracking system. It should be noted that the algorithms for identifying of refills and determining their volume are quite complicated; and we are ready to provide the system designer of automobile tracking system of these algorithms to be integrated into terminal or server software. Fuel tank fueling control.
Fuel theft control is carried out technically similarly to fueling control. Terminal of vehicle tracking system receives dàta about changes of fuel level in the tank from fuel level sensor. User of vehicle tracking system knows about the unauthorized fuel draining almost immediately. Fuel tank fueling control
To solve this task fuel flow meter, fuel level sensor and/or dàta, derived from the CAN bus of a vehicle are used. Measurement of the actual engine fuel consumption
With fuel monitoring you can detect violations of technology, such as reduction of burying of plow on a tractor or decreasing of duration of heating burners. Fuel tracking provides exact information about real fuel consumption and prevents fuel draining, fuel fraud and fuel over consumption. Driver quality control
Knowing the information about the current fuel consumption, the driver can select the most economical way of working. The increase in fuel consumption may be a sign of engine wear. Monitoring the technical state of machines
Typically, GPS vehicle tracking systems determine motion time of a vehicle. However, considerable amount of machines, especially special, works without movement. In this case the automobile tracking system may determine the engine by connecting to the sensor of engine speed . However, it is easier to use a fuel flow meter DFÌ. Flow meter also receives information about fuel consumption, and the time of the engine, because only running engine consumes fuel. Moreover, the magnitude of fuel consumption can also be judged on the regime of load on the engine. Knowing the fuel consumption at idle, average and maximum fuel consumption, automobile tracking system can accurately calculate the time of the engine in a particular mode. Time control of the engine
This function is not directly related to fuel monitoring, but ties the fuel information to the load of machine. Thus, user receives separate information about fuel consumption of an empty and loaded car. In addition, GPS vehicles tracking system gets valuable information about the location and time of events of loading and unloading machines, and it is necessary for effective fleet management. Information about the actual load on the axis to avoid fines for overloading and abandon reinsurance short shipments. Axle load control
