1 Introduction
1.1 MiX 4000 Hardware Features
Digital/Analog Inputs
There are two analogue inputs that can be configured to monitor any device
that generates a change in voltage, e.g. seat belts, headlights, refrigeration
units, temperature sensors, emergency lights, doors, PTO, UDS, trailer
coupling etc. Disconnection of these inputs can be detected using open-wire
detect.
Frequency Inputs
There are two frequency/pulse inputs for integration with legacy sensors.
Tacho Inputs
It is possible to configure any one of the existing digital/analog or frequency
inputs as Tacho inputs.
Ignition input
This monitors the ignition switch status. The unit is able to detect when the
ignition is connected or disconnected. Disconnection of this input can be
detected with open-wire detection. Maximum 36V input, impedance >
100kOhm.
CAN
The system has two CAN inputs that support J1939 and OBDII CAN as a
minimum. Configuration of the termination resistor and the transmit-disabling
can be done either with jumpers (for safety critical installs) or via software
settings.
GNSS
GPS and GLONASS available.
Modem
LTE CAT M1 / 3G / 2G
Serial Ports
Two RS232 serial ports (with flow control).
K-line and D8
K-line interface for Digital Tachograph (DTCO D8 input).
Bluetooth
Single-Chip Bluetooth Solution Integrating Bluetooth
Low Energy (LE) Features, Fully Compliant with the
Bluetooth 4.0 Specification Up to the HCI Layer.
Accelerometer
3-axis ±2g /±4g / ±8 g / ±16 g dynamically selectable full-scale and is capable
of measuring acceleration with output data rates from 1 Hz to 5 kHz.
Positive drive
Four positive drive with open-load detection and current sense diagnostics:
one with 1A current limit and three with 250mA current limit.
Tamper detection
Tamper detection when the housing is opened, i.e. the cover removed.
Shorting, cutting, or unplugging any of the external antennas will also be
detected.
Code Plug
Standard FM code plug circuit (Optional: 5V aux output).
Only the blue driver plug is supported.
The MiX 4000 is a fleet product that incorporates the latest market
trends. It consists mainly of an on-board computer, a LTE CAT
M1, 3G or 2G modem, a GNSS, an accelerometer, Low Energy
Bluetooth, I/O, 2 x CAN, 2 x RS232, 4 x positive drives and 434 /
915 MHz short range transceiver.
There are various part IDs, but hereafter, the generic term, MiX
4000, will be used, unless a specific reference is required.
