TeleBeacon Telemetry Applications

TeleBeacon Interfaces - Onboard

The following external (physical) interfaces are available onboard the standard TeleBeacon:

        1 x Presentation Port, RS232, 38400, N,8,1, no-flow control;

        1 x Auxiliary Port, RS232, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400, N,8,1, no-flow control (Baud rate user selectable);

        4 x Telemetry Analogue Inputs (A1, A2, A3, A4)

        4 x Telemetry Status Inputs/Outputs (A1, S2, S3, S4)

        1 x GPS 1pps / Off Position Indicator

        Analogue resolution is a 10 bit value, range 0 to 1023.

        Voltage input range is 0 to X Volts (X usually not > 20V, but not necessary restricted).

        Each channel can have a different input voltage range, depending on the third-party interface

         equipment (viz. LED Flasher, Battery, Solar Panel, Tidal height measuring instrument, etc.)

        Each analogue channel’s voltage range is determined at pre-installation / installation time.

Message Type and Interface Summary

The TeleBeacon AIS VDL messages that include telemetry encapsulated custom data comply with the respective International Standard formats.
