Thuraya T2M-DUAL
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Thuraya Tracking and Monitoring terminal enables remote management of xed and
mobile industrial assets anywhere under Thuraya network coverage and where terrestrial
3G networks are available. The Thuraya tracking and monitoring terminal is a robust and
ruggedized solution that is adequate for operation on vehicles, trucks, heavy equipment
and in harsh environments such as oil elds, open mines, solar and wind farms and remote
utilities installations.
The terminal supports SAE J1939 CAN protocol and integrates GNSS location comm-
unications, Thuraya satellite communication network and 3G terrestrial networks (Other
CAN protocols can be supported based on case by case basis). Asset status, telematics
and location information can be sent to an application server to be accessed by end users
to monitor their assets present status, location and other sensor data via an application
WEB interface or a mobile App. The Thuraya T2M-DUAL terminal gives users the ability to
monitor and manage their mobile and xed assets in real time to increase efciency and
reduce operational costs.

4.2 TRACK MODE AND GPIO MODE
The Track is used to gather necessary data from mobile assets such as location in
addition to selectable data through GPIO ports.
The GPIO mode is used to collect and transmit selected GPIO data only (e.g. xed
installations).
TABLE 9 TRACK & GPIO MODES
Mode Description
Track Mode
• Basic data and all selectable data will be transmitted periodically based
on the transmission period setting (minimum 2 minutes)
• If GPIO data is selected, it will be transmitted as well
GPIO Mode
• If you set the “sampling period” and “transmission period” at track mode
to “0”, GPIO mode is enabled.
• In GPIO mode the T2M-DUAL will collect and transmit GPIO data only.
4.3 DATA LOGGER
The T2M-DUAL can store more than 50,000 data points (basic data) to the internal
memory.
The logged data can be dumped from the terminal using “T2M-DUAL management tool”
4.4 NECESSARY AND SELECTABLE DATA
The terminal collects and transmits two types of data.
1. Necessary data: Basic data that is always collected and sent.
2. Selectable data: Optional data which the terminal can be congured to collect and
transmit.
The user can congure the terminal locally by using the “T2M-DUAL Management tool” or
remotely.
On how to congure the T2M-DUAL, please refer to the “T2M-DUAL Management Tool
user’s guide” and “T2M-DUAL Protocol document”.

4.5 DATA SAMPLING INTERVAL (FOR PERIODIC DATA)
The interval of data collection and transmission can be set to different periods (e.g.
collect every minute transmit every 10 minutes).
The interval period can be set using the “T2M-DUAL management tool” or on the server
remotely. It is recommended that the transmission period be an integer multiple of the
collection period.

4.6 EVENT DATA (NON-PERIODIC DATA)
When the vehicle encounters an event which triggers an alert, the terminal will transmit
the event data immediately to the server.
The table below describes the event data.
TABLE 12 EVENT DATA
No Event Name Event Status
1Vehicle Battery
Disconnection
• In case the vehicle battery is disconnected (e.g. tampering).
• This alert is invoked also when the terminal self-disconnects to
protect the vehicle battery from draining (low voltage)
2 IGN On / Off • Vehicle IGN On and Off status
3 Low Battery Warning • In case of internal battery voltage indicates that it will be
exhausted soon.
4 Shock • When external shocks occurs
5 SIM Error • When a SAT SIM Error is occurs, it is reported over 3G and vice-
versa
6 Geo-Fence Deviation • When the vehicle is out of the set geofence.
7 Over Speed • When the vehicle is over the set speed limit.
8 Overturn • When the vehicle is overturned.

Thuraya T2M-DUAL
4.7 GPIO PORT
The T2M-DUAL has 8 I/O ports that can connect with external sensors.
I/O Ports 1 to 4 are digital ports that can be set to input or output using the T2M-DUAL
management tool.
I/O ports 5 and 6 can be used as digital ports or analog ports. When used as digital
ports they can be set to input or output using the T2M-DUAL management tool. In case
they are used as analog ports they are can only be set to input using the T2M-DUAL
management tool.
The T2M-DUAL contains two serial (UART) ports. In case the UART ports are used, the
necessary UART protocol should be implemented.
The table below shows the I/O port summary.

4.8 OVER SPEED ALARM SETTING
Over speed alarm setting invokes the terminal to ring the buzzer continuously when the
vehicle exceeds the set speed limit.
4.9 SHOCK LIMIT SETTING
The impact value of the built-in impact sensor can be congured differently for each user.
IGN On and IGN Off time shock limit value can be set differently.
4.10 SPEED, RPM AND BRAKE COEFFICIENT SETTING
For vehicles that do not support CANbus, it is possible to measure the speed, rpm and
braking data of the vehicle using analog speed sensor and rpm sensor signals. This
signals are different for each vehicle manufacturer; the installer needs to adjust the
appropriate parameter coefcient.
