9 THE CAS GPS NODE PRODUCT FAMILY
9.1 PRINCIPLE OF SYSTEM OPERATION
The CAS-GPS Intelligent multi-purpose NODE is the front-end transponder for enabling situational awareness of fleet
vehicles, infrastructure and personnel. The NODES form an integral component of the CAS-GPS system when paired with
one of the CAS-GPS host devices such as the light vehicle display or the heavy vehicle rugged IVU running the CAS-GPS user
interface software.
Nodes will be required to operate in several modes during its daily operation. As a key component of the CAS system, it
will remain powered in all modes of operation unless powered down by the system display/controller. All nodes have an
internal battery & provided that the battery is within acceptable temperature limits will continue to operate in a low power
mode after isolation from vehicle supply. The node’s internal battery will continue to be charged until the system detects
that the supply voltage has dropped below the pre-determined threshold and then stop. This will prevent the vehicle’s
battery from being depleted below the vehicle’s ability to re-start its engine.
The CAS-GPS Nodes are comprised of a high-performance GPS receiver, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) radio transceiver, optional
high accuracy Ranging RF transceiver (ToF), CAN bus, RS-232 and RS-485 wired communication ports, Digital Inputs (2) and
Digital Output (1), Personal Area Network wireless technology and internal rechargeable battery backup that is available
within the following configurations:
9.2 NODE VARIANTS
9.2.1 PROD1116-Sν(X)(xx) – Type S Node
The Type S Node is suitable for a fixed installation in light or heavy vehicles and machinery. The Type S Node can act as your
primary fleet monitoring radio in light vehicles and enables automatic real-time functional health monitoring of a primary system
on any vehicle type without the requirement for a remote Test Station or operator interaction. The Type S Node communicates
with the CAS-GPS user interface via a dedicated CAN bus connection and can be powered from a 12 or 24Vdc automotive supply.
