IoT Burger is the Technology of creating smart sensors and complex telematics
IIoT devices operating in real time with built-in analytic features
(further on –IoT Burger). The basis of IoT Burger is the software/hardware core, a
set of ready-to-use universal Functional Modules, the database of standartized IoT
parameters.
Particular features of IoT Burger:
•Inbuilt analytic features for maximum treatment of signals within the device itself;
•A possibility to design devices with extremely low power consumption;
•Doesn’t require programming in the majority of applications, flexible setup;
•Using inexpensive industrially manufactured equipment parts;
•Measurement and treatment of “quick” processes which is impossible to implement
using cloud technologies;
•An option of ready Reports delivery to the user avoiding server platforms;
•The inbuilt system of data authenticity assurance (self-diagnostics, authorization,
impact control).
The technology provides for the availability of several measurement channels in any device
including pre-set analytical treatment (filtration, linearization, thermal compensation) and
the controlled error of measurement.
Devices created using IoT Burger may be united to form a wire-connected or wireless
connection network. Data may be transmitted to the telematics server, to popular IoT
platforms, by SMS, E-mail, to social networks.
At present, GSM 2G/3G data transmission standards are used in devices with IoT Burger.
The reports transmitted contain data on instant and average values of Parameters,
Counters, Events. The flexible system of Reports setup enables the user to select the
optimal ratio of the data completeness and the volume of traffic.
MasterCAN DAC J1939 i/o modules are designed using IoT Burger Technology.
S6 is the Technology of combining smart sensors and other IoT devices within one
wire network for monitoring of complex stationary and mobile objects: vehicles,
locomotives, smart homes, technological equipment etc. The Technology is based
and expands SAE J1939 automotive standards.
Information on cabling system, service adapter and S6 software refer to
CAN j1939/S6 Operation manual.
PGN (Parameter Group Number) —is a combined group of S6 parameters, which has
common name and number. Functional modules (FM) of the Unit can have input/output
PGNs and setup PGNs.
SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) —informational unit of S6. Each SPN has determined
name, number, extension, data type and numerical value. The following types of SPN exist:
Parameters, Counters, Events. SPN can have a qualifier which allows qualification of
parameter’s value (e.g. – Onboard power supply limit/Minimum).
Event —relatively rare and sudden change in SPN. For example, the attempt to falsify
values of “Instant fuel consumption” counter by applying electromagnetic field to fuel flow
meter will be recognized as “Interference” Event. An Event can have one or several
characteristics. “Interference” Event has the following: date/time and duration of
interference. When the Event occurs, a terminal unit registers the time of occurrence, which
is later mentioned in a report on the event. Thus, the Event is always attached to exact time
and place of occurrence.

Onboard equipment (OE) —Telematics system elements, directly installed in Vehicle.
Parameter —time-varying or space characteristic of the Vehicle (SPN value). For example,
speed, fuel volume in the tank, hourly fuel consumption, coordinates. Parameter is usually
displayed in the form of graph, or averaged data.
Counter —cumulative numerical characteristics of Parameter. Counter is represented by a
number, which can only grow in time. Examples of Counters: fuel consumption, engine
operation time, total distance and other.
Telematics system —complex solution for vehicle monitoring in real time and trip analysis.
The main monitored characteristics of the vehicle: Route, Fuel consumption, Working time,
technical integrity, Safety. In includes On-board report, Communication channels,
Telematics service ORF 4.
Telematics terminal (Tracking device, Telematics unit) is a unit of Telematics system used
for reading the signals of Vehicle standard and additional sensors, getting location data and
transmitting the data to the Server.
Vehicle an object controlled within Telematics system. Usually Vehicle means a truck,
tractor or bus, sometimes a locomotive or river boat. From Telematics system point of view,
stationary objects are also considered to be vehicles: diesel gensets, stationary tanks,
boilers/burners.
Function module (FM) unit-embedded component of hardware and software combination,
executing a group of special functions. Uses input/output PGNs and settings PGNs.
Unit is an element of vehicle on-board equipment compatible with S6 bus, which uses
S6 Technology.

1.4 Principles and modes of operation
1) Mode of digital to analog CAN-gateway. After connection to CAN (J1939)
onboard bus or to CAN j1939/S6 Telematics interface MasterCAN DAC, in accordance
with its settings, receives digital data (PGN), sorts out parameters (SPN)containing
current data on fuel consumption and the Vehicle operation parameters, converts
SPN into analog signals, generates a physical signal in the selected output.
2) Mode of collector/converter of analog signals. When an analog signal is
transmitted, MasterCAN DAC, in accordance with its settings, converts the signal
received into digital data (SPN) which it transmits in generated messages (PGN) into
CAN/S6 Telematics interface.
3) Combined mode. MasterCAN DAC can simultaneously operate in Digital-analog
gateway and Analog signal collector-converter modes.
