Chorus (TM)

Features

Benefits

Flexible and Modular Design

Scalable architecture that can be enhanced according to platform and/or application. Operates independently of supporting systems. Compatible with multiple ground vehicle platforms.

Always On Functionality

Monitors and records key platform data with low power consumption and efficient platform power management.

Built in Vehicle Network Interface & Message Parsing (J1939 CAN and 1708)

Native network interface enables telematics, prognostics and diagnostic independently of an external computer. Captures key platform data without peripheral system support.

Data output and configurable programming in XML Seamless integration with enterprise systems. Facilitates communication with remote systems. Improves data flow, response and implementation.

Analog to Digital Conversion

Accepts data from any sensor, switch, dial or gauge on any new or legacy vehicle system.

Built in Signal conditioning

No intermediate modules required for direct connection to on-vehicle analog and digital signals.

802.11 b/g Wireless Connectivity

Enables telematics and/or PC connectivity via Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).  Bridges 802.15.4 and 802.11 b/g functionality.

802.15.4 Wireless Connectivity

Enables easy integration with Solidica smart wireless sensors and RFID modules.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

Provides vehicle location and time data.

Built-in 3 axis accelerometer with programmable gain and sample rates.

Captures transient vehicle speed and ride roughness data to provide context to key platform information.

Wide Input Range Power Supply

Compatible with a wide range of vehicle platforms; integrates with new and legacy vehicles.

Real Time Clock / Time Stamping

Time-correlated data for accurate event monitoring

Data Storage, Store-And-ForwardTM & ESTTM

Built-in non-volatile, computer-independent time-stamped data storage. Solidica's proprietary Store-And-ForwardTM and ESTTM (Event-Sensitive TriggeringTM) technology enable smart storage, processing, action and retrieval of crucial platform data without relying on a computer.

Configurable Programming

One hardware, multiple applications.
