Technoton Crocodile Contactless FMS Gateway for Safe Data Reading

Description

Technoton Crocodile Contactless FMS Gateway addresses the critical need for reading vehicle data without compromising the manufacturer’s warranty or the integrity of onboard electronics. The FMSCrocodile CCAN model is specifically engineered to safely read CAN bus data without any electrical contact with the CAN wires. This non-intrusive approach protects the vehicle’s CAN bus from active requests that might otherwise be sent by a telematics unit, ensuring the safety of the vehicle’s digital infrastructure.

Advanced Signal Processing and Filtering

Beyond simple data reading, this gateway acts as an intelligent filter. It automatically generates and sends FMS and Telematics messages to its output CAN 2.0B interface using the J1939 protocol. The device is designed to filter raw data from the bus, ensuring that only useful information relevant to vehicle telematics purposes is transmitted. This capability simplifies the configuration of the telematics unit, as it prevents the system from being overwhelmed by unnecessary data, focusing instead on actionable insights like fuel consumption based on standard instant fuel rate data.

Brand

Technoton

Technoton was established in April 2000, at the early stage of emerging market of automotive telematics and GPS tracking systems. We started with development and manufacture of GPS tracking devices, fuel level sensors and fuel flow meters. Soon we focused on solving tasks of fuel consumption measurement and fuel usage monitoring, safe CANbus data reading and analysis.

Technoton’s technical team includes highly-qualified engineers and developers, who have wide expertise in micro controller units, mechanical engineering, computer science, programming and diagnosis.
