Template:FMA202 I/O settings
When no I/O element is enabled, AVL packet comes with GNSS information only. After enabling I/O element(s) AVL packet along with GNSS information contains current value(s) of enabled I/O element.

Note: There are two types of operations with Permanent I/O elements: simple monitoring and event generating. Monitoring method is used when current I/O information needed with regular GNSS coordinates. Event generating method is used when additional AVL packet is needed when current value of I/O exceeds predefined High and Low levels. I/O settings allow defining I/O event criteria. |
Enabled or disabled field – allows enabling I/O element so it is added to the data packet and is sent to the server. By default all I/O element are disabled and FM3612 records only GNSS coordinates.
Priority (AVL packet priority) can be low, high or panic. Regular packets are sent as Low priority records. When low priority event is triggered, FM3612 makes additional record with indication that the reason for that was I/O element change. When High priority is selected, module makes additional record with high priority flag and sends event packet immediately to the server by GPRS. Panic priority triggers same actions as high priority, but if GPRS fails, it sends AVL packet using SMS mode if SMS is enabled in SMS settings.
High and Low levels – define I/O value range. If I/O value enters or exits this range, FM3612 generates event. “Generate event” parameter defines when to generate event – when value enters defined range, exits it or both.
Averaging constant – it is an I/O event delay parameter. In some applications there is no need to generate events on every I/O range enter/exit immediately. Sometimes it is necessary to wait some time interval before event generating. Averaging constant allows setting I/O event delay (averaging). If I/O value is entering or leaving predefined range, it must have same value for Averaging constant time. 1 Averaging constant value equals about 30 miliseconds. In Deep Sleep mode there is no Averaging.

Note: Note: I/O element’s “Movement sensor” Averaging constant is interpreted as Start Move Timeout in seconds (from 1 to 59). Start Move Timeout – is a time interval required for movement sensor to be in the moving state, to consider vehicle as moving. |
Monitoring
I/O monitoring starts after enabling I/O element and setting up I/O parameters as it is shown below:
Event generating
Events happen when the value of enabled I/O intersects thresholds (enter, exit or on both) predefined by High and Low level thresholds. Table below defines all available values of I/O settings.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Priority | low, high |
| High level | maximum threshold |
| Low level | minimum threshold |
| Generate event | on interval enter, on interval exit, on both enter and exit |
| Average constant | 1 – 232 (4 Bytes) |
Hysteresis
I/O elements can generate events according to hysteresis algorithm. If I/O event operand “Hysteresis” is selected, events will be generated as it is shown in the illustration below (I/O speed is taken as I/O value example):
