The MONI LOG® data link TM (Tracking Module) is a small, almost invisible, goods accompanying item for transports and storage of all type around the globe. Thanks to permanent monitoring, it allows the effective determination of transport loads and the reduction of damage.

As an autonomous, standalone solution, the transfer module is suitable for dispatch monitoring (tracking and tracing of the transportation route). The user is regularly informed by email about the current position of his goods and the transportation route already traveled. For this purpose, the device can be combined with one or two transport data loggers of the MONI LOG® series, for example the ShockDisplay curve or EnDaL curve.

The system then reads out the values of the connected logger at intervals configurable by the user, and also transfers the complete measurement data record to the route information. The dispatcher thus knows exactly where his sensitive transportation goods are and to which critical transport loading it has been exposed – also without qualified personnel on site. The data can also be evaluated over a Web portal. Here the user can manage his registered systems and evaluate all transferred measured values conveniently online.

The data transfer can be both time-controlled, as well as event-controlled, for example, activated in case of exceeding preconfigured alarm thresholds. Thanks to automatic frequency switchover, the module can work both in GSM (2G), GPRS (2.5G), UMTS (3G) or HSPA (3.5G) networks and guarantees optimum global availability. Via an SMA socket, if required, external active radio and GPS antennae of different construction design (rod or planar antennae) can be connected.

The direct, card-based linking to Google Earth® provides the route monitoring with a very good overview. As well as the GPS coordinates, the relevant measured values of the connected data logger are also represented with exact time stamp. The MONI LOG® data link TM works network-independent and very energy-efficiently with standard, exchangeable batteries (LR14). In this way, the system is suitable for autonomous long-term applications.

With a readout interval of 48 h, a runtime of more than 2 years is achieved, also in exacting environmental conditions. The additional internal backup battery ensures data receipt, independent of the battery status, for at least 10 years.
The device status can also be read off directly on the display, without PC/laptop. The parameters are adjusted on the device using 4 function keys.

Easy to configure, the module can be individually adapted to a great number of different applications. Extra interfaces also enable fixed-in-place operation with external power supply, interaction with other systems (alarm and operation indicator contacts) or the connection of a satellite modem. The connection to the PC is implemented via standard USB cable (USB mini).
The rugged, dust-protected and splash-proof aluminum housing (Degree of Protection IP65) makes the device suitable for the outdoor area. The license-free configuration software also ensures updating of the device firmware.
