Custom Scenarios

Introduction to Custom Scenarios functionality

To meet the diverse and evolving needs of our clients, we have developed the Custom Scenarios feature. This solution allows users to define specific conditions using customizable parameters to generate events or control a device’s digital outputs. By connecting the device to peripherals like alarms, buzzers, or relays, this functionality can notify drivers or perform targeted actions seamlessly.

The feature enables the device to operate autonomously based on predefined conditions, eliminating the need for constant monitoring of device status or complex backend integrations. With Custom Scenarios, any data the device can read becomes a potential input for controlling digital outputs, providing flexibility and efficiency.

The Custom Scenarios functionality enables configuration of up to three independent scenarios, each with up to three unique triggers. Triggers are defined using data as source from various I/O elements, such as: Fuel Level, Engine RPM, Seatbelt Status, DTC Faults, Movement Status, Ignition State, GSM Signal Level, 1-Wire/Bluetooth sensor temperature and etc. Each source is configured with specific logic operands (e.g., "On Entrance," "On Exit"), threshold values (Low and High levels), and an activation delay timer, which specifies how long a value must remain within the defined range before the trigger is activated.

When all triggers of a scenario evaluate as true, the scenario becomes active. This can generate a record (if configured) and control the digital output (DOUT) by toggling it on or off based on the active conditions. Additionally, if configured for continuous operation, the DOUT remains active as long as the conditions are met.

Key features include:

• Support for dynamic trigger logic based on selected operands and conditions.
• Autonomous device operation, even in low-power or deep-sleep modes, provided compatible I/O sources are used.
• Adjustable ON/OFF durations or permanent output control, enabling versatile device behaviors such as blinking or continuous activation.
• Custom Scenarios operate independently from the I/O menu, with priority management ensuring that higher-priority scenarios take precedence in controlling the DOUT when multiple scenarios are configured.

Custom Scenarios functionality configuration and parameters

Below is an UI example of configurable parameters:

Output Control	19100	19130	19160	0	3	0	0	None	Specifies that no DOUT is controlled by the scenario.
							1	DOUT1	Specifies that DOUT1 is controlled by the scenario.
							2	DOUT2	Specifies that DOUT2 is controlled by the scenario.
							3	DOUT3	Specifies that DOUT3 is controlled by the scenario.
Permanent Output Control	19124	19154	19184	0	1	0	0	Disabled	DOUT will be controlled continously on and off according to DOUT ON Duration and DOUT OFF Duration parameters.
							1	Enabled	DOUT will be constantly ON while scenario is active.
DOUT ON Duration	19102	19132	19162	100	65000000	200	-	milliseconds	Duration for which DOUT remainsturned ON
DOUT OFF Duration	19103	19133	19163	0	65000000	200	-	milliseconds	Duration for which DOUT remains OFF. If Permanent Output Control and DOUT OFF Duration values are set to 0, DOUT will be turned on for the period configured in DOUT ON Duration parameter.
Source #1	19105	19135	19165	Min IO ID	Max IO ID	Device-specific	-	AVL ID	Data source for primary trigger for the scenario. This trigger can not be ignored.

Source #3	19116	19146	19176	Min IO ID	Max IO ID	Device-specific	-	AVL ID	Data source for Tertiary trigger for the scenario. This trigger can be ignored.
Operand	19106	19136	19166	0	6	0	0	On Exit	Trigger activates on exit of the defined condition.

Example Use Cases

- **Scenario 1**: Control a relay when fuel level drops below 10%. - **Scenario 2**: Trigger a buzzer if RPM exceeds 3000 while ignition is ON. - **Scenario 3**: Activate an alarm when GSM signal strength drops below 20%.
