NX Series / Automotive M2M & IoT

RTCU NX-200

Connect to the vehicle.
Build on the platform.

A programmable automotive M2M/IIoT gateway combining dual CAN, motion sensing, cellular connectivity and physical I/O with the NX32L execution architecture.

Vehicle interfaces / Application logic

Bring vehicle data
into your application.

Connect vehicle and field interfaces to programmable application logic. The NX-200 brings communications, I/O and motion sensors together in an aluminium enclosure.

Work with vehicle interfaces

Two CAN 2.0B controllers, Ethernet, dual RS232, RS485 and 1-Wire connect the NX-200 to vehicle and peripheral systems. Expand I/O with standard Modbus modules.

Connect and locate

Combine LTE Cat. 4, WLAN, Bluetooth Classic / Low Energy and multi-constellation GNSS. Choose the NX-200 DR variant when Automotive Dead Reckoning is required.

Respond to movement and power

Motion sensors and an onboard Li-Ion battery support application power management. External-power loss powers the unit down by default; battery-operation behavior is configurable.

Positioning capabilities depend on the variant. Use the exact product identity when checking interfaces, documentation and installation requirements.

RTCU NX-200

The standard model uses a multi-constellation GNSS receiver with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS support.

RTCU NX-200 DR

The DR variant adds an Automotive Dead Reckoning GNSS receiver, with support for wheel-tick data or a physical wheel-tick input. Dead Reckoning is specific to this variant.

Minimum local setup

  • A Windows PC with RTCU M2M Studio.
  • The device, its documented power source and model-specific programming cable. Install the driver required for that connection.
  • Antennas for the radio interfaces you use; a SIM and service subscription if the application uses cellular connectivity.

Remote M2M Studio access adds network connectivity and the RTCU Communication Hub. The Deployment Server is optional for managed remote updates.
