and transmitter. When the device is ON,
it receives and transmits electromagnetic
energy in the radiofrequency range.
Operating band of the device ranges from
900 MHz to 1,990 MHz; the device uses
digital modulation techniques.
When the device is in operation, a call service
system controls the strength of sent-out RF
signal.

The GSM modem is intended to provide a
connection between the controller and the
GSM mobile network. The GSM signal is
received and transmitted via an external
GSM antenna. The controller is equipped
with a SIM card to be identied by the GSM
network and to be able to access the services
provided by the mobile network operator. The
GSM modem performs several functions:
• Enables the device to access the GSM
network and to be identied by the network
using the SIM card.
• Enables data exchange (including transfer
of track points) between the AutoGRAPHGSM controller and the server via TCP/IP
through the Internet by means of General
Packet Radio Service (GPRS).
• Enables exchange of information and
control SMS messages and USSD requests
(for example, for subscriber’s personal
account monitoring).
GSM-modem
GPS / GLONASS module
CPU
The GNSS module is designed using a highly
sensitive receiver based on high performance
u-blox M8 engine. It receives coded
signals by means of external active GPS/
GLONASS antenna from the satellites of the
Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR) and
GLONASS, and uses its internal computer
to determine the geographical coordinates
of the receiver position, the exact time,
speed and direction of movement. Received
data is transferred via NMEA protocol from
the GNSS module output to the central
processing unit for further processing.
The u-blox MAX-M8 supports concurrent
reception of two GNSS systems and, as
a result, the information being received is
highly accurate and available even in the
case of very poor visibility of satellites.
The central processing unit is the core of the
AutoGRAPH-GSM controller, which unites
all of the system components together and
ensures their interaction in accordance
with the program stored in the device. The
processing unit is a high-speed single-chip
microcomputer able to perform computations
of at a speed and accuracy level that is
sufcient to meet various navigation and
service challenges. The custom rmware,
developed by TechnoKom specialists,
enables the CPU to receive data from the
different modules of the system, to perform
logical and mathematical processing of
the data and to control the modules as
appropriate. It should be noted that the
functional capability of the controller rmware
is being constantly enhanced and extended
so as to provide users with new and improved
features and options.
Power Supply Driver
The power supply driver with protection
circuits generates all of the necessary
supply voltages for controller components.
The primary power supply input ensures
operation at vehicle system voltage of 1050 V, which makes it possible to use the
controller on the majority of vehicles without
employing any additional voltage regulation.
Furthermore, the power supply driver
protects the controller against polarity
reversal, voltage overload, interference, etc.
A resettable fuse is installed in the supply
circuit of the printed circuit board in order to
provide extra protection.

The Non-Volatile FLASH memory module serves as a black box storage device to store the
collected data. The FLASH memory module is designed to store up to 270,000 records for
up to 10 years – even when the device is powered off. The FLASH memory module in the
AutoGRAPH-GSM is designed to use the ring buffer principle, which means that new records
will be written over the oldest records rst, ensuring that the most recent data is always
available.
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is equipped with additional memory to store log-les and
photos from cameras connected to the controller. The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller uses an
external micro SD card to store additional data.
Non-Volatile FLASH Memory Module / Additional Memory
Inputs / Outputs
The I/O block is designed for monitor and measure parameters of external equipment and
devices, as well as for control various actuators and warning devices.
The I/O block is divided into three sections:
Digital inputs.
These inputs have two states: «1» and «0» , and are able to show a change of input state,
count pulses and measure frequency.
The controller has the four active low inputs and 2 active high inputs.
In addition, analogue inputs of the controller can operate as digital inputs with the congurable
switching threshold.
Logic of the discrete inputs operation is shown in the table below:
Physical state of the input
Logic state of
active low input active high input
High (connected to supply voltage) 1 1
Open-Circuit 1 0
Low (connected to ground) 0 0
IMPORTANT
Note that logic states of the two inputs dier in open-circuit state (see the table above).
This must be taken into account when making connections.
Operation modes of the discrete inputs are fully programmable for each input and include:
• Normal input. In this mode, the digital inputs are monitored. When the input state
changes, the time and location data is stored into the device memory. Normal mode is useful
for recording the time of different sensors’ activation and for monitoring the performance of
Long-term exposure of the controller to the maximum values of the supply circuit may cause
irreparable damage to the protection circuits due to overheating or disruption. This may lead to
failure of the device. DO NOT exceed the maximum values stated. Operating voltage range and
maximum supply voltage values are specied in Technical Specications section.
