GH5200 and Codec 8 Extended (battery percent)

Telematics
1

Hello everyone.

I’m writing a server software that receive in TCP frames localization data from GH5200 devices.

I’m using Codec 8 Extended protocol for now. It works well but there is a little problem regarding battery percentage.

This information seems not to be sent in each packet, so I couldn’t know battery level in realtime.

How could I configure GH5200 to send always battery percent?

Thanks in advance.

Mario.

Hello,

You’re right — the GH5200 using Codec 8 Extended doesn’t always include the battery percentage in every packet by default. The device typically sends battery info as part of certain I/O elements, and it’s not included in every AVL record unless explicitly configured to do so.

Hi,
Thank You so much. I found in configuration the right way to get all records with battery percentage.
Now I would like to build a coding structure in order to generate the correct signalization about following events:

  • Device is starting a trip (Vehicle departure)
  • Device is stopping a trip (Vehicle stop).

Is there a way to combine I/O events “Movement“ and/or “Instant Movement“ to correctly report to my system that device is really starting or stopping a trip without false flags?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @mdesortis,

I hope you are doing well. GH5200 has the Trip/Odometer Features that could record start/stop of Trips. More information can be found on this link: Template:FMB Trip/Odometer settings - Teltonika Telematics Wiki

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
