TELEMATICS FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMING INDUSTRY
Introduction
To satisfy the growing demand for farming produce and tackle many challenges affecting the agriculture industry, present-day farmers have to be more innovative, efficient, competitive, but save resources at the same time. As a result, comprehensive, affordable, and customisable agricultural machinery tracking solutions combined with process monitoring and automation are becoming not only an attractive option but rather a necessity.
Solution description
Thanks to the fast-developing IoT technologies, agriculture-specific equipment, farming implements, and/or accessories tracking and management can be successfully achieved by combining GPS devices, CAN Bus data adaptors, and Bluetooth Low Energy 4.X (BLE) ID beacons. The ultimate choice for this matter - Teltonika ADVANCED category GPS tracker FMB140 with built-in CAN data reading feature and advanced software version supporting agriculture type vehicles (aka ALL-CAN300 option).
What you need for a solution?
- FMB140 device.
- The SIM card in order to get data to your server
- FOTA WEB to remotely send the configuration to the device.
- BLE ID beacons and sensors.
Installation
When installing FMB140 in a vehicle, follow the mounting recommendations. When connecting to the CAN bus, you must use the diagrams provided by our technical support engineers. The diagrams indicate in detail and clearly the connection points in the vehicle wiring and the required program number. It is also possible to obtain data from the vehicle CAN bus by performing an auto scan procedure. FMB140 has the function of working with wireless BLE sensors, supports connection of temperature sensors and iButton reader via 1-wire.

Configuration
1. Prerequisites:
1.1. Read through start guide
1.2. Understanding of possible Sleep modes.
2. OBD GPS trackers:
Parameter ID – Parameter name GPRS settings:
- 2001 – APN
- 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
- 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)
Server settings:
- 2004 – Domain
- 2005 – Port
- 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)
After successful GPRS/SERVER settings configuration, FMB003 device will synchronize time and update records to the configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.
Data protocol settings:
- 113 – Data protocol (0 – Codec8, 1 – Codec8Extended)
Note: To get OEM parameters, you need to use Codec8Extended.
Sleep settings:
- 102 – Sleep settings (0 – Disable, 1 – Gps sleep, 2 – Deep sleep, 3 – Online Deep sleep, 4 – Ultra sleep)
Note: This scenario will not work with Deep Sleep and Ultra Sleep modes, since they disable the device's GSM module to save power.
OBDll settings:
- 40000 – OBDll data activation, enabled by default (0 – Disable 1 - Enable)
- 40005 – VIN read mode, Auto by default (0 – Auto 1 – Manual)
- 40003 – Manual VIN number entry
- 40440 – OEM Fuel level, Priority "Low" (0 – Disabled 1 – Low 2 – High 3 – Panic )
- 40430 – OEM Total milage (Counted), Priority "Low" (0 – Disabled 1 – Low 2 – High 3 – Panic )
- 40410 – VIN, Priority "Low" (0 – Disabled 1 – Low 2 – High 3 – Panic )
- 40160 – Engine RPM, Priority "Low" (0 – Disabled 1 – Low 2 – High 3 – Panic )
Quickstart: From default configuration to Car sharing solution in one SMS:
" setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_user;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0;102:3;40000: 1;40005:0; 40410:1; 40160:1; 40430:1; 40440:1; 113:1"
This SMS will set up your device to report object location to the server and possibility for read Engine RPM, VIN and OEM parameters.
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted if no SMS username or password was set in SMS \ Call settings.
