Internal antennas for simplified integration
The device is provided as standard with ACTIA’s ‘Device Manager’ which is an onboard-offboard solution to control software update and connectivity status as well as monitoring of device operational status. User applications are simple to implement using the software development kit (SDK).
This can be done directly by the customer or by ACTIA. The device connects to the target application by means of a CAN interface with flexible data rate. Internal antennas for all radio functions as well as the backup supply results in a self-contained function that simplifies product integration. A bracket is provided to simplify mounting of the ACU6-Lite unit to the target application.
Wireless:
LTE Cat M1, GNSS, Bluetooth low energy (BLE).
All antennas internal.
Network:
CAN flexible data rate (FD) interface.
Middleware:
Software Development Kit (SDK) with libraries provides full support for customer applications such as data management and processing.
Upgrade:
Software download is supported via the electrical network/s and ‘over the air’ via the cellular radio link.
Supply:
ACU6-Lite Machines operates on 12V. A backup battery ensures that critical functions continue, even if the main supply is lost and ensures clean shutdown and network de-registration.
Subscription:
Virtual MNO setup which supports global roaming with selective localisation.
Processing:
System operation is managed by the CPU which hosts a Cortex-M7 core. The CPU also hosts a 1MByte RAM. 4MByte NOR Flash is used to store the executable code. A further 8GByte eMMC is used for data storage
Security:
Secure boot supported. HSM is used for secure key storage.
Electrical interface:
ONSW digital input (KL.15 key on/off). Digital/analogue/frequency inputs (TBC). Highside output, Lowside output (TBC)
Internal sensors and indicators:
XYZ-axis accelerometer and gyro Temperature sensor. LED indicators: 1 x Red, 1 x Green, 1 x Blue
