Configuration Guide
This guide provides the configuration steps for RS485-based fuel sensors (e.g., OMNICOM485) with Transight Telematics devices using commands.
Step 1: Select and Enable the Fuel Sensor Type
Defines the fuel sensor model and how many sensors are connected.
🔹 Command Format
SET CUFUELTYPE:<Sensor Model>,<Number of Sensors>
🔹 Example
SET CUFUELTYPE:OMNICOM485,1
🔹 Expected Response
IMEI: 862942074896044 Command: SET CUFUELTYPE:OMNICOM485,1 Response: OMNICOM485, Error: 0
🔹 Verification Command
GET CUFUELTYPE
🔹 Expected Verification Response
IMEI: 862942074896044 Command: GET CUFUELTYPE Response: OMNICOM485,1 Error: 0
Step 2: Configure Fuel Sensor Communication Parameters
Defines communication mode, baud rate, address, output interval, and format.
🔹 Command Format
SET CUFUELDATACFG:<Sensor Model>,<Index>,<Mode>,<Baud Rate>,<Network Address>,<Output Interval>,<Output Format>,<Range>
Example
SET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1,MASTER_BINARY,19200,02,12,BINARY,1023
🔹 Expected Response
IMEI: 862942074896044 Command: SET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1,MASTER_BINARY,19200,02,12,BINARY,1023 Response: Error: 0
🔹 Verification Command
GET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1
🔹 Expected Verification Response
IMEI: 862942074896044 Command: GET CUFUELDATACFG:OMNICOM,1 Response: Mode: 1, BaudRate: 19200, Address: 2, Interval: 12, Default Output: 1 Error: 0
Parameter Reference Table
| Parameter | Value Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <Sensor Model> | OMNICOM | Sensor type (OMNICOM485, TECHNO485, ESCORT485, OFF) |
| <Index> | 1 | Sensor index (0–3) |
| <Mode> | MASTER_BINARY | Communication mode: SLAVE, MASTER_BINARY, MASTER_ASCII |
| <Baud Rate> | 19200 | Communication speed (in bps) |
| <Network Address> | 02 | RS485 device address (Hexadecimal 00–FF) |
| <Output Interval> | 12 | Interval in seconds between sensor readings |
| <Output Format> | BINARY | Data format (BINARY or ASCII) |
| <Range> | 1023 | Raw value range of the sensor output (e.g., 1023 or 4095) |
⚠️ Mandatory Save Command
After completing configuration, execute this command to save settings:
SET CUMR:2
Step 3: Verify Fuel Data Transmission
After configuration, the device starts transmitting real-time fuel data via telemetry packets.
🔍 Validation Steps
- Monitor server-side data packets.
- Confirm:
- Fuel data values are present.
- Updates occur at the configured interval.
- Values are within the expected range.
Note: If fuel data does not appear in packets, recheck wiring and configuration.
