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 RS2CAN / CAN2RS converters are implemented based on 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).
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) —System for area positioning of an object through
satellite signal processing. GNSS is composed of space, ground and user segments. Currently,
there are several GNSSs: GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (EU),
BeiDou (China).
Analytical report —report generated in ORF 4 / ORF 5 on vehicle or group of vehicles
operation for chosen time period (usually a day, week or month). Can be composed of
numbers, tables, charts, mapped route of vehicle, diagrams.
Onboard equipment (OE) —Telematics system elements, directly installed in Vehicle.
Terms and Definitions

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.
Server (AVL Server) —hardware-software complex of Telematics service ORF 4 / ORF 5, used
for processing and storage of Operational data, formation and transmission of Analytical
reports through Internet by request of ORF 4 / ORF 5, users.
Event —relatively rare and sudden change in SPN. For example, applying the magnetic field
to the fuel flow meter in order to falsify indications of the hourly fuel consumption is the
“Interference” Event. An Event can have one or several characteristics. Thus, the
“Interference” Event has the following characteristics: date/time and duration of the
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.
Counter —cumulative numerical characteristic of Parameter. Counter is displayed by a single
number and over time its value is increasing. Examples of counters: fuel consumption, trip,
engine hours counter etc.
Telematics terminal (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.
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 / ORF 5.
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.
