Successor available

This product is discontinued and will be replaced by the successor model C660. The C660 has LTE cellular connectivity and is fully backward compatible. Already implemented and tested applications can be executed without changes. The hardware connections are also compatible for a 1:1 plug-n-play exchange.

One device – all functions integrated

3G/UMTS mobile communications

GNSS receiver

Data Logger

Control (PLC)

Cloud-Connector

Precise positioning with GPS, GLONAS, Galileo and QZSS; 3D accelerometer, CAN for vehicle connection, numerous other interfaces (RS232, RS485, 1-wire, USB, digital/analogue I/O, audio, …) and protocols (including Modbus, MQTT) as well as a 3G/UMTS mobile network connection make the C650 the ideal platform for demanding telematics applications.

Product Features Technical Data

Powerful vehicle integration

A complete CAN 2.0B interface with hardware filtering and multi-speed support allows comprehensive data acquisition in vehicle installations. Additional units without CAN connection can be flexibly connected via the other interfaces of the C650.

Precise positioning

The C650 has a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver with support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS (99 acquisition channels / 33 tracking channels) with noise suppression and jamming protection. The support of DGPS (WASS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN) further increases the positioning accuracy. A 3-axis accelerometer completes the equipment. An extension to inertial navigation is optionally available.

Sophisticated energy management

A built-in UPS (integrated LiIon battery), low power consumption and five execution speeds with wakeup events from various sources allow safe operation even on switched on-board power systems.

Integrated mobile communication

The C650 has a 3G/UMTS modem with fallback to 2G/EDGE/GPRS, bringing mobile communications directly into your applications. Easy to use for connection to all leading cloud platforms, as fault indicator directly with SMS or voice with IVR (Interactive Voice Response) and DTMF or for communication with other M2M controllers. Thanks to the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), programming distributed applications is as easy as programming a single PLC.

Performance and security for edge computing

The C650 is based on an RTOS real-time core with IEC 61131-3 runtime environment. The 32-bit ST Arm^®processor provides more than enough power and memory for your edge-computing applications. AES encryption and a certificate management for all important TCP based protocols (e.g. MQTT, SMTP, TCP/IP Sockets) offer a high security for your communication, e.g. with a cloud.

I/O interfaces for all needs

The C650 has 5 digital inputs, 4 digital solid state outputs (36V / 1.5A) and 2 analog inputs. The interface equipment is completely transparently expandable via Modbus modules for the user software and can be extended almost indefinitely.

Versatile communication

In addition to the mobile phone connection, the C650 has a large number of interfaces: CAN-2.0, RS-232, RS-485 and 1-Wire. For easy use of the interfaces, the development environment provides support for a variety of protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, SMTP, FTP, MQTT, 1-Wire, M-Bus, Modbus (Master and Slave).
