Description

The IOX-CAN integrates third-party data with MyGeotab™, allowing supplementary fleet data collection and consolidation in one place. Customers and Partners can transmit data through the Geotab® GO™ device using the standard third-party Add-On Protocol on the private CAN bus via the IOX-CAN. No initial handshake is required. If the third-party data is in the correct format, the GO device begins processing and transmitting the data to MyGeotab.

Additional data collection includes:

• Driver Distraction Monitoring
• Temperature Monitoring for refrigerated fleets
• Tire Pressure Monitoring

Features

• Integrates third-party CAN devices with MyGeotab™
• No handshake required; GO device begins processing valid third-party data immediately
• Supports external CAN device power supply and terminating resistor control

• Current Draw (IOX-CAN on GOx daisy chain):
  • Operating mode (typical): 40 mA at 12 V / 24 V
  • Operating mode (max): 100 mA at 12 V / 24 V
  • Sleep mode (min): 0.4 mA at 12 V / 24 V
• Temperature Rating: −40 ℃ to +85 ℃
• Interfaces:
  • External third-party CAN: 250 or 500 kbps
  • CAN: 500 kbps (for daisy chaining)
• Third-Party Interface Current Output Limit: 1 A
• Compatible Devices: All GO7® and newer devices and variants
• GO9® Power Limit: Can source a maximum total current to the IOX in Daisy Chain of 2750 mA at 12 V / 24 V
• Data Transmission Rates: Third-party CAN interface adjusts baud rate based on the connected bus (250 or 500 kbps). Minimum of one message required to set baud rate.

Note: For each IOX in the daisy chain, add the maximum current draw and ensure the total does not exceed the maximum total IOX current draw.

Note: When installed in a vehicle, the IOX-CAN and third-party devices derive supply voltage from the car battery. IOX-CAN is not suitable for direct connection to an engine bus.

Important: Shorting jumper pin A and jumper pin B together enables the internal 120 Ω terminating resistor, required if the application itself is not already terminated.
