Dear RTCU User,


Welcome to the early summer edition of the Logic IO Newsletter bringing major news including the first members in the new and exciting RTCU CX1 series!

The RTCU CX1 series is a new compact, waterproof and ruggedized telematics platform complementing the currently available RTCU MX2i series. Initially available are the RTCU CX1 pro and the RTCU CX1 pro-c and later the low-cost and extremely flexible product - the RTCU CX1 flex will be released.

In addition to the major news of the RTCU CX1 series the RTCU MX2i pro is now improved with the addition of SuperGPS as a standard feature at no additional cost!

Best regards,


The Logic IO Team


RTCU CX1 pro / pro-c
 

The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c is a compact, waterproof and ruggedized telematic tracking and control platform, based on the powerful X32-architecture also found in the popular MX2i Series. In addition to a long list of standard features, the RTCU CX1 sports a state-of-the-art 66-channels SuperGPS receiver with unprecedented performance. Unique features  includes an advanced 3D-movement sensor and wireless RF transceiver.
 

The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c product is a worthy member of a growing number of advanced telemetry/telematic products all based on the proven and powerful X32-architecture.

The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c is specifically based on the popular RTCU MX2i series and is 100% software compatible with all other X32 based devices from Logic IO.

The unique features of the RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c includes a 3D-movement sensor supporting a range of new applications such as detailed driving behavior and even crash detection. The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c has support for medium range wireless communication using the ISM 868 Mhz frequency band. This feature allows implementation of wireless I/O, RF-tracking and simple remote key fob applications. 
There is on-board Li-Ion battery for uninterrupted operation during power-fail.

The ISM RF antenna is on-board and internal to the device, and the unit is delivered pre-mounted with a 50 cm interface cable with power, I/O and RS232 or CAN bus signals easily accessible. For the most flexible installation the RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c is factory delivered with an external high-performance waterproof magnet GPS antenna and a small waterproof thumb-sized GSM antenna already installed. Everything necessary to install the device is therefore included in the box, so the total cost of the device deployment is effectively reduced to a minimum.

The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c is housed in a highly ruggedized IP66 waterproof encapsulation, which allows a new spectrum of applications to be realized due to the new installation possibilities.

The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c offers many other sophisticated features such as: Micro SD-CARD with up to 8 GB capacity and a
512 Kbyte internal flash drive with a FAT32 compatible file-system for easy sharing of files locally and remotely with a PC/Server. 

The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c is of course fully programmable using the user-friendly Integrated Development Environment (RTCU IDE) running under Windows. In this environment  the complete application is developed, simulated and finally transferred to the unit via a standard USB port or remotely by using GPRS or CSD (Datacall).

The RTCU CX1 pro has RS232 interface with full Garmin FMI support, and the RTCU CX1 pro-c instead has a full CAN 2.0B interface. All other specifications are similar.


The RTCU CX1 pro/pro-c feature-list includes:

  •  100% software compatible with all current and past RTCU units!
  •  Huge memory capacity with X32 Enhanced Memory support
  •  High performance 16g 3-axis accelerometer / movement sensor.
  •  On-board medium range ISM 868 Mhz RF transceiver with antenna.
  •  Micro SD-CARD reader with FAT compatible file-system and up to 8 GB capacity.
  •  Internal 512 KB Flash-Drive with full FAT support.
  •  2 Digital inputs, 2 Digital high-side solid state outputs and 1 analog inputs.
  •  RTCU CX1 pro: Standard RS232 port.
  •  RTCU CX1 pro-c: Full CAN 2.0B controller with hardware filtering
  •  Dedicated high-speed USB programming port.
  •  Quad Band GSM support (850/900/1800/1900 Mhz)
  •  GPRS Class 10 with full GPRS Gateway Professional support
  •  Supports GSM features such as SMS/PDU/CSD/GPRS.
  •  Full support for FTP and SMTP (email with attachment).
  •  Ultra high-sensitivity low-power 66-channels SuperGPS receiver.
  •  On-board high capacity Li-Ion battery (1000 mAh)
  •  Temperature sensor
  •  Advanced power-management with power-down and wait-for-event modes
     Wake-up on: Digital input, Movement, Timeout, GSM-, CAN- or RS232-activity. 
  •  RTCU CX1 pro: Supports the Garmin Fleet Management / Navigation Interface
     and the Mobile Data Terminal.
  •  Pre-mounted with 50 cm interface cable with all signals easily available.
  •  Pre-mounted with a standard small 'thumb' size GSM antenna and a very compact
     magnet GPS antenna with 1.5 meter cable.
  •  Compact ruggedized IP66 classified plastic encapsulation with mounting flange.
  •  E1 automotive approval.

...many other advanced features.
