PLC TAG Tractor Based Trailer Tracking
Imarda's PLC TAG is typically fitted to the trailing equipment of a vehicle (e.g. trailers and dollies) and is used to provide identification information to a reader device such that connected equipment can be automatically tracked and identified, which allows you to verify that the correct equipment is attached before leaving a depot.
In addition to a factory programmed unique ID, the PLC TAG has a 12 character user programmable ID so user definable naming conventions can be used. The user programmable ID can be programmed in-system with a programming tool.
The PLC TAG is based around a communication standard called PLC4Trucks which uses the power wires of a vehicle to transmit the signals.
When the PLC TAG trailer tracking device is used in conjunction with a reader device such as our Vector 4, we have the ability to:
- Detect hook and drop hook events
- Monitor trailing equipment in realtime
- Report distance
- Generate gate arrival and departure warnings
The PLC TAG also has two digital inputs which can be used for monitoring the status of door switches, lamps, or other digital sensing equipment. The PLC TAG' s small size means it can usually be mounted inside a trailer's J560 housing.
