Product OverviewProduct Overview
Product Overview
GPS-110-MB-PS is a GPS with Modbus communication (slave).
GPS-110-MB-PS has two series ports, one RS232 for configuration and reading of NMEA
sentences, and one RS485 to function as a Modbus slave.
All the data generated by the GPS (Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Time) are available in Modbus
registers in its slave port.

from each other by a time interval. This parameter allows you to change the maximum time to
count after the last byte of the packet is received, during which the GPS-110-MB-PS will
assume that the packet has not yet been terminated. After this maximum time, the GPS-110-

ClarificationClarification
Clarification:
::
:
•Where there are two Modbus registers is to represent a 32-bit signed integer value, the first
register contains the lower part and the second the upper part of the value.
• Where "x10" is specified, it means that the value obtained from the GPS is multiplied by
the corresponding factor to achieve a higher degree of resolution in the indicated value.
• Where "ASCII" is specified, it means that the value read is the numeric representation
according to the ASCII coding of the letter obtained from the GPS
• Where "ddmmyyyy" is specified, it means that in the value, 2 digits represent the day, 2
the month and 4 the year. Thus, the number 15112019, refers to the date November 15,
2019.
• Where "hhmmss" is specified, it means that in the value, 2 digits represent the hour, 2 the
minutes and 2 the seconds. Thus, the decimal number 123045, refers to the time 12:30:45.
• In the registers where the Latitude and Longitude are expressed, the value is presented in
degrees multiplied by 10,000,000.
For example, if the register value is -
--
-346.054.585
346.054.585346.054.585
346.054.585, you must divide it by 10.000.000 to take

To take it to the degrees + minutes format
