Project description

Millions of trucks roam highways and roads each and every day delivering goods far and wide in our planet. Logistics industry is strictly regulated in most parts of the world and especially in Europe, where digitization of tachographs is mandatory. This makes it a perfect scene for the implementation of remote data download and monitoring solution.

We glad that you decide to test our “Digital tachograph monitoring” solution.

Here you will find how to prepare and to test this solution.

What you need for a solution?

The first component of our solution is a device from Teltonika’s Professional devices family:

FMB640

FM6300

FMC640

FMM640

Any of these devices can receive tachograph and driver card files (.DDD, TGD, .V1B .C1B formats), tacho live data, and enriched Tacho/FMS data (TachoCAN) from digital tachograph via the same CAN line – it makes installation even easier. Also, the devices are capable of reading live data from digital tachograph via the K-line connection. You can find detailed instructions of installation in the user manual of the related device.

The next component is software dedicated to downloading and administrating digital tachograph files. There are two ways to do it. You can use special Web Tacho application from Teltonika or develop your own software. In case you choose the latter scenario, you will be provided with a special communication protocol, which you will use when developing software solution. In case you choose Teltonika Web Tacho solution, you will be able to use our server or have application installed on your side. Either way, you are ready to go. One of the biggest advantages of using Teltonika Web Tacho application is that after the initial setup you will later receive files and data automatically.

Moreover, with the help of additional accessory Tacho Front Panel Cable you will be able to read data from the minibuses that work on 12V system. Activate the front panel interface on tachograph, connect the cable and you are ready to go.
