The TS101 Basic EV CAN is a compact, rugged telematics device designed for dependable vehicle tracking and data logging. Built for both electric vehicles and conventional fleets, the TS101 Basic EV CAN is Plaspy compatible and delivers real-time tracking, reliable telemetry, and offline logging to keep operations moving even in weak-network environments.
With a single-channel CAN interface, multiple I/O ports, BLE 3.0, and internal GNSS supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, this unit is optimized for fleet management, anti-theft protection, and EV-specific telemetry. Its IP65-rated enclosure, wide 9–90V DC input range, and low-power design make the TS101 Basic EV CAN a practical choice for mixed fleets that require durable, easy-to-integrate Plaspy compatible trackers.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible real-time tracking with multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for accurate positioning.
- Single-channel CAN interface for EV and vehicle telemetry, enabling fleet management and diagnostic data collection.
- Compact, IP65-rated housing and wide 9–90V DC input for reliable operation across EVs and conventional vehicles.
- BLE 3.0 and internal antennas for short-range sensor connectivity and simplified installations.
- Robust offline capability with up to 6,000 data records stored locally to prevent data loss in poor coverage areas.
- Low-power sleep current (<15 mA) and internal 500 mAh backup battery to preserve tracking during power interruptions.
- Multiple I/O (1 analog in, 2 digital in, 1 digital out) and accelerometer-based motion detection for anti-theft and event monitoring.
How It Works with Plaspy
The TS101 Basic EV CAN integrates seamlessly with Plaspy to deliver continuous location updates, vehicle telemetry, and event-driven alerts. Data collected by the device — including GNSS location, CAN bus telemetry, I/O events and accelerometer motion — is transmitted to Plaspy via the cellular link. When network coverage is limited, the device buffers up to 6,000 records and uploads them automatically once connectivity is restored, ensuring no gaps in fleet management or anti-theft records.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates to Plaspy for live tracking and route replay.
- Vehicle status and event detection via CAN and digital inputs (ignition/door/alarm states can be reported where configured).
- Telemetry logging for EV metrics and conventional vehicle diagnostics through CAN data integration.
- Remote immobilizer or control actions can be implemented via the digital output when supported by your integration.
- Bluetooth sensors and beacons (BLE 3.0) for short-range telemetry such as driver identification, temperature sensors, or accessory sensors.
