The MTA-Glonass (ver.12M-CAN FMS) is a compact vehicle monitoring terminal built for satellite-based fleet tracking and telematics. Designed for commercial vehicles, this Plaspy compatible GPS tracker leverages a 50‑channel GNSS receiver (GLONASS/GPS) and GSM communications to deliver reliable real-time tracking and fleet management telemetry to Plaspy dashboards and alerting systems.
With native CAN FMS connectivity for heavy trucks, multiple fuel inputs, non-volatile event storage and a wide DC power range, the MTA-Glonass (ver.12M-CAN FMS) is optimized for continuous vehicle operation. Its low power draw, internal backup battery and robust interface set make it a practical choice for integration with Plaspy for anti-theft workflows, fuel monitoring and remote diagnostics.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker: integrates GNSS position and vehicle telemetry for real-time tracking and reporting.
- CAN FMS connection: native support for heavy truck CAN FMS (DAF, Scania, MAN, etc.) enables engine and vehicle telemetry ingestion.
- Comprehensive fuel sensing: dry-contact and analog ADC inputs for frequency/pulse sensors and direct tank level measurement.
- Reliable GNSS performance: 50‑channel high-sensitivity receiver with fast time-to-ready (≤ 1 minute) for quick lock on start.
- Wide vehicle power support and backup battery: 9–68 V DC operation with an internal rechargeable battery (~600 mAh) for ≥6 hours standby.
- Event-rich memory and low power consumption: stores thousands of non-volatile event records and operates efficiently in active/standby/sleep modes.
- Compact, vehicle-focused design: small footprint and light mass for discreet installation in commercial fleets.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the MTA-Glonass (ver.12M-CAN FMS) sends GNSS coordinates and vehicle telemetry over GSM (GPRS, DATA channel, SMS) to the Plaspy platform. Plaspy consumes these streams to provide real-time tracking, customizable alerts and historical reporting for fleet managers. Integration focuses on mapping CAN FMS parameters to Plaspy telemetry fields, translating fuel sensor inputs into consumption events, and delivering event records for compliance and audit.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS/DATA channel and SMS fallback.
- CAN FMS telemetry ingestion: engine hours, RPM, speed, fuel consumption and other bus data where available.
- Fuel monitoring: pulse/dry-contact and analog ADC inputs feed fuel level and consumption analytics in Plaspy.
- Temperature monitoring via optional 1-Wire sensor input (integrated into Plaspy reports when used).
- Remote control and anti-theft workflows: optional open-collector output can be used to control external actuators (for example, immobilizer relays) when coordinated through Plaspy command tools.
