The GSM modem is intended to provide a
connection between the controller and the
GSM mobile network. The GSM signal is
received and transmitted via an external
GSM antenna. The controller is equipped
with a SIM card to be identied by the GSM
network and to be able to access the services
provided by the mobile network operator. The
GSM modem performs several functions:
• Enables the device to access the GSM
network and to be identied by the network
using the SIM card.
• Enables data exchange (including
transfer of track points) between the
AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL controller and the
server via TCP/IP through the Internet by
means of General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS).
• Enables exchange of information using
control SMS messages and USSD requests
(for example, for subscriber’s personal
account monitoring).
GSM-modem
GPS / GLONASS Module
CPU
The GPS module is designed using a
72-channel highly sensitive receiver.
It receives coded signals by means of
external active GPS/GLONASS antenna
from the satellites of the Global Positioning
System (NAVSTAR) and GLONASS, and
uses its internal computer to determine the
geographical coordinates of the receiver
position, the exact time, speed and direction
of movement. Received data is transferred
via NMEA protocol from the GPS module
output to the central processing unit for
further processing.
Since the Fastrax IT530M module supports
a hybrid navigation system, which combines
two navigation systems, such as GPS
and GLONASS, it is able to identify all
visible satellites of both navigation systems
automatically. As a result, the information
being received is highly accurate and
available even in the case of very poor
visibility of satellites.
The central processing unit is the core of
the AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL controller, which
unites all of the system components together
and ensures their interaction in accordance
with the program stored in the device. The
processing unit is a high-speed single-chip
microcomputer able to perform computations
of at a speed and accuracy level that is
sufcient to meet various navigation and
service challenges. The custom rmware,
developed by TechnoKom specialists,
enables the CPU to receive data from the
different modules of the system, to perform
logical and mathematical processing of
the data and to control the modules as
appropriate. It should be noted that the
functional capability of the controller rmware
is being constantly enhanced and extended
so as to provide users with new and improved
features and options.

The Non-Volatile FLASH memory module serves as a black box storage device to store the
collected data. The FLASH memory module is designed to store up to 270,000 records for
up to 10 years – even when the device is powered off. The FLASH memory module in the
AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL is built on the basis of the ring buffer principle. This means that new
records will be written over the oldest records rst, ensuring that the most recent data is
always available.
Non-Volatile FLASH Memory Module
Power Supply Driver
The power supply driver with protection circuits generates all of the necessary supply voltages
for controller components. The primary power supply input ensures operation at vehicle
system voltage of 10-30 V, which makes it possible to use the controller on the majority of
vehicles without employing any additional voltage regulation.
Furthermore, the power supply driver protects the controller against polarity reversal, voltage
overload, interference, etc. A resettable fuse is installed in the supply circuit of the printed
circuit board in order to provide extra protection.
Long-term exposure of the controller to the maximum values of the supply circuit may cause
irreparable damage to the protection circuits due to overheating or disruption. This may lead to
failure of the device.
DO NOT exceed the maximum values stated.
Operating voltage range and maximum supply voltage values are specied in Technical
Specications section.
Inputs / Outputs
The I/O block is intended for monitoring and measuring the parameters of external equipment
and devices, as well as for controlling of various actuators and warning devices.
The I/O block is divided into two sections:
Digital inputs.
These inputs have two states: “1” and “0”, and are able to show a change of input state, count
pulses and measure frequency. The tracker has one active low and one active high digital
inputs.
Logic of the discrete inputs operation is shown in the table below:
Physical state of the input Logic state
Active low input Active high input
High (connected to supply voltage) 1 1
Open-Circuit 1 0
Low (connected to ground) 0 0

Furthermore, the controller is equipped with one digital high-impedance active high input with
logic levels independent of the supply voltage of the device connected to this input.
Operation modes of the digital inputs are fully congurable and include:
• Normal input. In this mode, the digital inputs are monitored. When the input state
changes, the time and location data is stored into the device memory. Normal mode is useful
for recording the time of different sensors’ activation and for monitoring the performance of
equipment and mechanisms, such as an alarm button, oil pressure sensor, ignition system,
passenger presence sensor, security alarm triggering, opening of doors, limit switches of
various special-purpose and construction machinery mechanisms, etc. This mode also
enables the device to perform unscheduled transmission of data to the server via GPRS
upon input state changes, as well as to send an SMS message to the specied phone
number.
• Storage counter. This mode is intended to track the input switching states and to count
various events. This may include counting of pulses from fuel-ow pulse output sensor (of
DRT-5 or VZO type), passenger count, speed sensor, tipper body lift sensor, etc. In storage
counter mode, the number of pulses from each sensor is stored in memory. The location
data is not stored.
• Periodic counter. This mode is intended for counting of pulses within one minute. Periodic
counter mode is used for receive the readings of sensors, which transmit measured values in
pulse bursts in amounts proportional to the measured value. This mode is used, for example,
for connecting fuel level, temperature and engine speed sensors with pulse outputs. This
mode does not involve recording of a track point into the storage memory when the input
state changes.
• Frequency. This mode is intended for sensors with frequency outputs. The device is
capable of measuring frequencies of 0 – 1,500 Hz. Frequency mode is used, for example,
for fuel level sensors with frequency outputs, engine and shaft speed sensors, proximity
sensors etc.
Digital output
Digital output is intended to control various external actuators, as well as to activate warning
devices. The controller has one programmable open collector digital output. Controlling of
the discrete output (monitoring of its state) may be performed by means of control SMS
messages or commands transmitted by the server via GPRS. Using control commands,
the customer can either switch the output state, which will be held up till the next control
command, or send a pulse of a certain duration (from 1 to 10 seconds) to switch the output
on for the pulse duration.
Furthermore, the discrete output may serve to indicate cases of exceeding speed limits,
acceleration, entry to and exit from control points, enabling of security functions etc.
Note that logic states of the two inputs dier in open-circuit state (see the table above). This must
be taken into account when making connections.

USB Port
The USB port embedded into controller is intended to:
• congure and check the performance of the controller by means of the conguration
program – GSMConf;
• read data from the device so as to deliver them to the AutoGRAPH Dispatch Software;
• update processor microcode (rmware) of the device;
• use the controller in the “GPS mouse” mode.
When using the device as a GPS mouse, the tracker, which is connected to the USB port of
a PC, laptop or PDA with a data cable via virtual serial port (СОМ port), transmits the location
data in RMC format through the NMEA protocol once per second. This enables the users to
locate the object equipped with an AutoGRAPH-GSM-SL using software such as OziExplorer,
Google Earth Plus/Pro, 2GIS for PC 3.0, Garmin, Navitel and many others. For details please
refer to “Using the GPS mouse” document.

The AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL is equipped with 3-axis digital accelerometer with wide range of
full scales from ±2g to ±16g intended to detect motion, determine the tracker’s orientation,
measure vibration level, etc. The tracker can be set up to send a notication to a preset
telephone number or data to a preset server, when detecting the acceleration exceeding a
preset threshold.

RS-485 (TIA / EIA-485-A)
RS-485 (TIA / EIA-485-A) is a data transfer standard for data transmission via a two-wire serial
channel. This bus serves to simultaneously connect up to 32 different devices and sensors
compatible with the controller’s software (rmware) by two wires. The bus enables users to
connect up to 8 fuel level LLS sensors, as well as Escort-TD, Strela-D485, DUT-E-485, DT7.3-
06, UZI-1.х and other sensors, and some extra expansion modules to extend the controller’s
functions, e.g. display for indication and messaging with a vehicle driver, passenger trafc
metering unit, expansion modules for discrete and analog inputs, barometrical altimeter, RS-
232/RS-485 converters, etc.
The RS-485 port of the AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL controller supports MODBUS protocol that
enables the users to connect the controller to the thermal sensors, which transmit data via
this protocol.
CAN Bus (SAE J1939/FMS)
The CAN bus is an industrial network standard primarily designed for interconnection of
various actuators and sensors in a single network. It is used in the automotive industry as a
management and control line. The CAN interface of the controller may be connected to the
CAN bus of a vehicle and is intended for use with SAE J1939 / FMS standard protocol. This
standard is widely used in vehicles of well-known truck manufacturers, such as SCANIA,
MAN, VOLVO, DAF, IVEKO, RENAULT, MERCEDES (DaimlerChrysler), KAMAZ and MAZ
trucks of latest models etc. Use of the two-wire CAN bus enables quick connection and allows
access to a great number of parameters directly from the sensors of vehicles.
Using the CAN bus, the following information would become available: vehicle speed, cruise
control status, accelerator pedal position, brakes and clutch switch statuses, fuel consumption,
fuel level in tanks (up to 6 sensors), engine speed, service distance, engine hours, engine
coolant temperature, oil and fuel temperatures, total vehicle distance and vehicle distance
per day and axle weight. Furthermore, it enables monitoring of some custom parameters not
covered by SAE J1939 / FMS standard.

AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL controllers installed
on vehicles constantly receive coded signals
from Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR)
and GLONASS satellites. These signals are
used to determine exact coordinates of the
vehicle location.
The coordinates are written to the non-
volatile memory of the AutoGRAPH-GSM/
SL controller, either on a regular basis or
adaptively. Furthermore, the storage memory
records and stores the statuses of various
sensors connected to the tracker or data
buses, and other parameters required by the
software.
Either on a regular basis or upon occurrence
of a preset event, the collected data is
transferred to the dedicated AutoGRAPH
server over the Internet using General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS) supported by a GSM
mobile network operator.
The server is a computer running Microsoft
Windows Server or Linux/FreeBSD with an
Internet connection, permanent IP-address
and reliable data storage device. The
server is responsible for receiving data from
AutoGRAPH-GSM/SL controllers, storing
the data and transmission upon request to
the dispatcher stations. Key les are used to
provide data access security on the server.
Dispatcher workstations are personal
computers or laptops with the AutoGRAPH
dispatch software installed (and with the
key les required for particular vehicles)
that has either Internet access or server
connection via LAN. An Internet connection
and computer with the Dispatch Software
will enable users to obtain data from
anywhere in the world. Easy deployment of
the Dispatch Software without the need to
install third-party database support enables
users to immediately create new dispatcher
workstations with any PC running MS
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8. The number
of workstations is unlimited. The Dispatch

any mobile device connected to the Internet.
Upon the user’s request or on a regular basis
the dispatcher workstation connects to the
server to update data on vehicles. Depending
on the AutoGRAPH server software version,
access to the data is offered by means
of the key les stored in the dispatcher
workstation or using personal login and
password. The received data is stored in a
local folder on the dispatcher workstation
that enables processing of the data without
being connected to the server. Furthermore,
to reduce the web trafc, the dispatching
network may be organized in such a way as
to send any missing data through the Internet
to only one workstation, while all other users
may use these downloaded data via LAN
by retrieving them from the local data folder
of the workstation. The users may use this
data to track the vehicles on a map, browse
through various parameters, events and
readings of various sensors. In addition, it is
possible to generate various types of reports
and charts both for each particular vehicle
and in groups.
To interact with various external applications
and handlers (including 1С), the AutoGRAPH
Software incorporates OLE server application
(COM server) which enables data exchange
between the AutoGRAPH Software and the
programs written in the majority of existing
programming languages which support OLE-
enabled data exchange, as well as programs
and systems based on their own embedded
programming language (1С Enterprise, MS
Ofce, various databases, etc.). Furthermore,
there is an option to upload all tracking data
and reports in the form of MS Excel, DBF
and CSV les, as well as to use an external
customizable reporting module which allows
users not only to generate a large number of
reports with fully customized layout, data and
