1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The CRUISER is part of the Truteq range of telemetry terminals.

The CRUISER offers much more than just simple I/O and is under full control of the user - it can beprogrammed to behave in a particular way when events occur. In addition to the basic telemetryfunctions, the CRUISER can also be used as a modem.

1.2 Whats new

The CRUISER is constantly being upgraded with more and more features.The following has been implemented on the current release (V110) from the previous release

(V103a).

1.2.1 Firmware upgrade (command 9)

The CRUISER now includes an application called FLASH MANAGER (FM). This applicationresides in the protected boot loader space of the microprocessor. At start-up it verifies theFLASH memory content and from there starts the application. The CRUISER command !9can set a flag in the eeprom for the FM to enter serial boot mode. The user can now uploadnew firmware via the serial port using the Truteq YAT PRO software. To use this commandenter !9 SERIAL on the command prompt.

1.2.2 Serial input event handling (command 170/171)

The serial input event has an added time-out option. The data field of command 170 indicatesthe wait time in steps of 100ms. This is the time to wait before the script in command 171 isexecuted. Enter *** followed by a pause to re-enter command mode.

1.2.3 Setting of baud rate parameters (command 257)

The GSM communications is now fixed to 8,N,1 character framing.The GSM (air link) framing is also not being printed out during start-up.The local port parameters can still be set to any of the following baud rates: 2400, 4800,9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 (where 57600&115200 will print a warning of high baudrate possible data loss)The local port framing options are 7,E,1 and 8,N,1No more air link option in command 257. The CRUISER will also not restart any more afterthe settings have been changed. Just update the terminal program to the newly setparameters and press .

1.2.4 Communications Port (command 263)

The link between the CRUISER serial port and the GSM link can now be set to the followingoptions:

1. No link to the GSM (more suitable for telemetry applications)2. Only link during data connections (more suitable for AMR applications)3. Always linked to the GSM (more suitable for modem applications)



5/24

1.2.5 Modbus support (command 264)

The CRUISER now supports TCP modbus protocol (when enabled option 1)The following function codes are supported:

0x01 - Read Coil (get status of relay outputs)0x02 - Read Discrete Inputs (get status of digital inputs)0x03 Read Holding registers (add0 = signal, 1~4 = counters)0x04 Read Input Registers (get values of analog inputs where applicable)0x05 - Write Single Coil (set digital outputs)

Enter *** followed by a pause to re-enter command mode.

1.2.6 Mains status reporting (command 265)

The CRUISER has an extra input in certain hardware profiles to indicate MAINS availability.This command enable the use of that extra input and will display the status with


6/24

SMS messages sent to the CRUISER are executed as a script.

1.4 Digital vs. Analogue

Unless specified otherwise, all inputs and outputs referred to in this manual are Digital inputs andDigital Outputs

1.5 Status LED

The status LED is used to display the current actions of the CRUISER unit according to the followingtable:

Condition Indication1 Initialising GSM and SIM Blink Rapidly with 2 sec intervals2 Idle (signal OK) Short pulses3 SMS RX Blink Rapidly while sms being read4 SMS TX Blink slow while sms is being send

4. After start-up, the CRUISER unit connects to the GSM network and ensures that all theSIM card functions are available.

5. The CRUISER unit is waiting for an Event or incoming Command.6. The CRUISER unit is busy receiving an SMS.7. The CRUISER unit is busy transmitting an SMS.

2 EVENTS

An event is a change in condition and where certain commands then needs to be executed.

2.1 Digital Input events

Separate Command Lists are linked to the events where an input goes high (on/open) or low(off/closed). The delay times (also known as the debounce times) before the unit registers a changein input state can be configured. More input/output boards can be added to increase the total numberof inputs and outputs.

2.2 Timer events

Separate Command Lists are linked to the events where a timer runs out. There are 5 separatetimers.

2.3 Counter events

Separate Command Lists are linked to the events where a counter reaches one of its low or highlevels. There are 4 different counters, each with its own high and low levels.

2.4 Serial events

The CRUISER can be configured to execute certain commands when data is received on the serial

port. Typical applications are tag readers and barcode scanners as well as a whole list of devices thatsends out unsolicited serial data.

2.5 Analogue events

Separate Command Lists are linked to the events where an analogue value passes a certain level.

The following diagram explains which command lists are associated with which level.

3 CRUISER START-UP

The CRUISER will print BOOT information on start-up. This information is printed on the serial port atthe last baud rate and framing that the CRUISER was set to with command 257. Please seedescription of command 257.A standard DB9 male to female serial cable (1:1) with any terminal program is sufficient to monitor thisdata.The first line will always print the hardware configuration with XX.The second line will always print the current firmware version.The CRUISER is ready for operation once the Start-up complete!! sentence is printed. One can nowenter commands via command mode (AT$TT) or use it as a standard modem.



10/24

4 COMMAND MODE

By default the CRUISER serial port acts as a standard modem. However this serial port is also usedto enter commands and to configure the CRUISER. The AT command AT$TT is used to enter thestandard TruTeq Text mode command prompt. In this mode the CRUISER will echo all incoming text,and add command prompts and readable carriage returns as well as line feeds. The command modewill time-out after a default 30 seconds, or can be quitted by typing , this will return theCRUISER into normal modem mode.

A simplified command mode is also available for use with serial applications by entering AT$RT(RawText). In this mode there will be no echoing or prompts to simplify the serial encapsulation in atypical application.

4.1 Entering Commands

Commands can be entered once the CRUISER is in command mode.

F Default serial parameters are: 9600,8,N,1.

FA List of all the commands and descriptions are available in the document:TruTalk

5 CRUISER DIGITAL IO

5.1 Inputs

The CRUISER digital inputs can be configured to work in 1 of 2 ways.

5.1.1 Option 1

The first option (factory default) is the potential free input mode. In this mode a connection must bemade between the common (pin1) and the corresponding digital input, either with a switch, or a relaycontact.

F Note: In this mode the inputs are NOT opto-isolated.

F Note: Do NOT apply any voltage on either the common or the individual inputs



12/24

5.1.2 Option 2

In option 2 the inputs are driven with a low voltage to drive the opto-isolator. This mode is ideal fordevices with an open collector output configuration. In this mode P1 and P2 must be linked as shown.

Apply the devices voltage to Vx, and the open collector outputs to V1->4.An optional resistor Rx is needed if Vx is > 12V typ a 2k2 1/4W will be used for 24V systems.

F Note: In this mode the inputs are opto-isolated.



13/24

5.2 Outputs

The CRUISER digital outputs are potential free relay contacts.

The relays contacts have the following rating:250Vac 1A (max 250W ac)24Vdc 2A (max 50W dc)

The relay contact outputs are jumper selectable to be either normally open or normally closed.The following figure illustrates how the outputs can be connected in typical applications.

In the figure above the output 1 will switch the house light remotely on, and output 4 can switch asiren on/off.

N ! Only authorised and licensed persons are allowed todo installations on mains and live systems!!!! !



14/24

6 CRUISER ANALOGUE INPUTS

6.1 Analogue Inputs

The CRUISER analogue inputs can be configured to work in 1 of 2 ways. Note the jumper setting foreach analogue input, as this determines the input option.

6.1.1 Option 1 current input

The first option (factory default) is the 0-20mA input mode. In this mode a current must be supplied tothe analogue input, typically from a sensor with a 4-20mA output.

F Note: When a sensor is used that doesnt have an external power input but respondslike a current load, then the Vraw output can be used to supply the load.



15/24

6.1.2 Option 2 voltage input

The second option is the 0-5V input mode. In this mode a voltage must be supplied to the analogueinput, typically from a sensor with a 0-5V output.

F Note: A voltage divider might be needed when a sensor is used with an output > than5V.

6.1.3 Adding a Truteq Temperature sensor

The Truteq temperature sensor has an output of 0~5V representing 50degC ~ +120degC.Connection diagram to add the temperature sensor to analogue input 1:
