PLCTag
PLCTag 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 identified, tracked and verify that the correct equipment is attached.
Its small size means it can usually be mounted inside a trailer's J560 housing.
In addition to a factory programmed unique ID, the PLCTag 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 PLCTag is based around a communication standard called PLC4Trucks which uses the power wires of a vehicle to transmit the signals.
The PLCTag when used in conjunction with a reader device such as our Vector 300WP, is capable of:
- Detecting hook and drop hook events
- Realtime tracking of trailing equipment
- Distance reporting
- Gate arrival and departure warnings
The PLCTag also has two digital inputs which can be used for monitoring status of door switches, lamps, or other digital sensing equipment.
