==RS-485 interface==
==RS-485 interface==
RS-485 supports only half-duplex communication, which means data is transferred only one way at a time.<br/>When activated RS-485 driver chip draws constant 30mA current, when entering Sleep or Deep sleep RS-485 will be powered off.<br/>FMC125 RS-485 connection diagram is shown below.

===RS-485 modes===
===RS-485 modes===
* RS-485 transmit (GNSS NMEA) mode:
*RS-485 transmit (FMC log) mode:
* RS-485 receive (LLS) mode:
RS-485 prints FMC device log and does not respond to commands.<br />
This mode supports up to five LLS fuel level sensors each of which has a receiver ID.<br/>
*RS-485 transmit (GNSS NMEA) mode:
RS-485 prints GNSS NMEA log and does not respond to commands.<br />
*RS-485 receive (LLS) mode:
This mode supports up to five LLS fuel level sensors each of which has a receiver ID.<br />
*RS-485 TCP (ASCII/Binary) modes:
In TCP ASCII/Binary mode a link with an external device using text messages can be established. In TCP ASCII/Binary mode all data received from external device through RS-485 is sent directly to server (if link is currently active). Data is encapsulated in codec 12 format.

Log mode, NMEA, LLS, TCP ASCII and TCP Binary modes are identical to those of [[FMC125_RS-232_and_RS-485#RS-485_modes|RS-485]]. In RS-232 LLS mode only one LLS fuel level sensor can be connected. Additionally TCP ASCII Buffered and TCP Binary Buffered modes are available.

* RS-232 LCD mode:
*RS-232 LCD mode:
In this mode user is able to communicate with the server through terminal. A link between FMC device and the server has to be established for this mode to function properly.

* RS-232 RFID HID/RFID MF7 mode:
*RS-232 RFID HID/RFID MF7 mode:
* RS-232 Garmin mode:
The difference between RFID HID Mode and RFID MF7 Mode is that in RFID MF7 Mode FMB125 understands RFID messages that are in hexadecimal text format and RFID HID Mode interpretes messages that are in binary format. The type of RFID message sent to FMB125 depends on the RFID reader. For example, RFID MF7 mode message looks like "$aa$02$03$04$17$89$00$01" while HID mode message is of following format: "1213141519".
Garmin provides a Fleet Management Interface Tool Kit, once FMC125 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/>FMC125 and Garmin operational diagram is shown on the figure below.
The selected mode has to correspond to the RFID reader's mode.
Please contact your local sales representative for more information about RFID IDs and devices.

* RS-232 TCP Binary/TCP ASCII mode:
*RS-232 TCP Binary/TCP ASCII mode:
In TCP ASCII/Binary mode all data received from external device is sent directly to server. Data is encapsulated in codec 12 format. TCP Binary Mode has a delay of 30 ms, if no data is received for 30 ms, data is sent to the server. TCP ASCII mode waits for the End of Line (EOL) character (0x0D0A, \r\n) to pack data and send it to the server

* RS-232 TCP Binary Buffered/TCP ASCII Buffered mode:
*RS-232 TCP Binary Buffered/TCP ASCII Buffered mode:
TCP ASCII Buffered and TCP Binary Buffered modes are used to collect data from RS232 and save it in buffer if there is no link with server and data cannot be sent immediately. When link is established and there is data to transmit, then RS232 data from buffer is transmitted after all records are sent. Data is sent in codec 13 protocol.

Note. That in TCP ASCII and TCP Binary modes device sends data from external device only to main server. In Buffered modes – to both main and backup/duplicate servers.
