2.1 System Information

2.1.1 HxGN MineDiscover Core LP (Low Precision)—CoreLP-WW, CoreLPWWG)

The CoreLP module monitors a single internal GNSS receiver and external I/O, reporting the details to a server over the WI-FI network.

The CoreLP unit is identified by its pale grey base.

2.1.1.1 CoreLP Features

All CoreLP modules share these features:

⚫ One GNSS module (L1 GPS/GLONASS). (1 x TNC connector) ⚫ Primary Wi-Fi module (2.4 GHz a/b/g/n 500mW), for machine diversity (2 x TNC connectors) ⚫ Secondary Wi-Fi module (2.4 GHz a/b/g/n 500mW) machine access point (1 x TNC

connector)

⚫ Two 10/100 Ethernet Ports (2 x M12, D code, F, 4 pin, connectors) ⚫ Two RS232 Serial Ports (1 x M12, A code, M, 8 pin, connector) ⚫ One RS232/RS422/RS485 serial port, 3 GPI, 1 GPO (1 x M12, A code, F, 12 pin connector) ⚫ Two CAN ports, with CAN power (2 x M12, A code, F, 5 pin, connectors) ⚫ Power input (9-36V DC, 1A) + One CAN port, unpowered (M12, A code, M, 5 pin, connector) ⚫ One USB 2.0, 480 Mbit port, (M8 connector) ⚫ One internal 3-axis accelerometer. ⚫ Industrial metal housing (IP67).

2.1.1.2 CoreLP-WWG-only Features

⚫ One Cellular Modem (4G LTE, 3G HPSA), (TNC connector) ⚫ SIM card holder accessible behind IP67 sealed back cover.

CAUTION The 4G SIM card must be a data SIM, and data must be activated on the carrier’s network. Voice-only networks will not carry the data.

Note

Data charges may apply. Due to the activity on the networks, unlimited data contracts are suggested to avoid extra data charges.
