==RS-232 Interface==
 +
RS-232 supports full-duplex communication which means the data can be both sent and received at the same time as they use separate transmission lines. Most of the modes are the same as for [[FMB125_RS-232_and_RS-485#RS-485_modes|RS-485]].

 +
Log mode, NMEA, LLS, TCP ASCII and TCP Binary modes are identical to those of [[FMB125_RS-232_and_RS-485#RS-485_modes|RS-485]]. In RS-232 LLS mode only one LLS fuel level sensor can be connected.
 +
 
 +
* RS-232 LCD mode:
 +
In this mode user is able to communicate with the server through terminal. A link between FMB device and the server has to be established for this mode to function properly.
 +
 
 +
* RS-232 RFID HID/RFID MF7 mode:
 +
The difference between ''RFID HID Mode'' and ''RFID MF7 Mode'' is that in ''RFID HID Mode'' FMB125 understands RFID messages that are in hexadecimal format and ''RFID MF7 Mode'' interpretes messages that are in decimal format. The type of RFID message sent to FMB125 depends on the RFID reader. For example, ''RFID HID mode'' message looks like "$aa$02$03$04$17$89$00$01" while ''MF7 mode'' message is of following format: "1213141519".<br/>The selected mode has to correspond to the RFID reader's mode.<br/>For more information about RFID IDs and devices please contact your local sales representative.

 +
* RS-232 GARMIN mode:
 +
Garmin provides a Fleet Management Interface Tool Kit, once FMB125 is connected to the navigator it enables the driver to have a "screen" in their vehicle for real-time navigation and messaging, and offers job dispatch capabilities to help them be more efficient.<br/>FMB125 and Garmin operational diagram is shown on the figure below.

RS-485 interface

RS-485 supports only half-duplex communication, which means data is transferred only one way at a time.
When activated RS-485 driver chip draws constant 30mA current, when entering Sleep or Deep sleep, RS-485 will be powered off.
FMB125 RS-485 connection diagram is shown below.

RS-485 modes

  • RS-485 transmit (FMB log) mode:

RS-485 prints FMB device log and does not respond to commands.

  • RS-485 transmit (GNSS NMEA) mode:

RS-485 prints GNSS NMEA log and does not respond to commands.

  • RS-485 receive (LLS) mode:

This mode supports up to five LLS fuel level sensors each of which has a receiver ID.

  • RS-485 TCP (ASCII/Binary) modes:

In TCP ASCII/Binary mode a link with external an device using text messages can be established.

RS-232 Interface

RS-232 supports full-duplex communication which means the data can be both sent and received at the same time as they use separate transmission lines. Most of the modes are the same as for RS-485. FMB125 RS-232 connection diagram is shown on the figure above.

RS-232 modes

Log mode, NMEA, LLS, TCP ASCII and TCP Binary modes are identical to those of RS-485. In RS-232 LLS mode only one LLS fuel level sensor can be connected.

  • RS-232 LCD mode:

In this mode user is able to communicate with the server through terminal. A link between FMB device and the server has to be established for this mode to function properly.

  • RS-232 RFID HID/RFID MF7 mode:

The difference between RFID HID Mode and RFID MF7 Mode is that in RFID HID Mode FMB125 understands RFID messages that are in hexadecimal format and RFID MF7 Mode interpretes messages that are in decimal format. The type of RFID message sent to FMB125 depends on the RFID reader. For example, RFID HID mode message looks like "$aa$02$03$04$17$89$00$01" while MF7 mode message is of following format: "1213141519".
The selected mode has to correspond to the RFID reader's mode.
For more information about RFID IDs and devices please contact your local sales representative.

  • RS-232 GARMIN mode:

Garmin provides a Fleet Management Interface Tool Kit, once FMB125 is connected to the navigator it enables the driver to have a "screen" in their vehicle for real-time navigation and messaging, and offers job dispatch capabilities to help them be more efficient.
FMB125 and Garmin operational diagram is shown on the figure below.

Supported features on TAVL client application

TAVL client application lets user to use the following features of GARMIN FMI:

  1. Text messaging;
  2. Destination message;
  3. ETA request.

Text messaging

Text messaging feature lets user to communicate with driver (user that uses Garmin device) by sending text messages via GPRS.

Destination message

Destination message is used to inform a driver of a new destination. When Garmin device receives a destination message from server it displays it as “Stop” to the driver and also gives the driver ability to start navigating to the “Stop” location. New destination in Tavl client is represented as Geozone so new Geozone (as destination) has to be created first.

ETA request message

ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) request message is used when user wants to know expected arrival time to currently active destination and distance (in meters) from current object location to currently active destination.
