The Syrus IoT Telematics Gateway (Syrus 4G) offers next-generation fleet productivity and asset management solution, developed by Digital Communications Technologies (DCT), a premier worldwide provider of wireless physical infrastructure devices for mobile asset management with actionable intelligence fully managed through APIs.
Requirements
1. Syrus 4G IoT Telematics Gateway Configuration
NOTE: Please make sure you have the latest version of Apex OS
Step 1: Prepare your System:
Go to Management Tool (http://192.168.9.2 if you’re over USB cable), select System and confirm that you’re up to date.
Now go to Applications Manager and Check for updates and make sure you have the latest version of SyrusJS application installed:
Step 2: Create an instance:
In application manager pull down the menu of SyrusJS, this will show you all versions installed of the application, select the latest one and Create a New Instance:
Name your instance and select Create Instance button:
Now you have your instance created:
Step 3: Create your configuration files
You should create two files on any notepad application (notepad++, sublime, vscode, etc), you can name it as you want but the extension must be: syrus.conf
The first one contains the destination data, protocol, output format, MQTT URI, username, and topics, here is an example:
### DESTINATIONS
define destination ubidots json mqtt://industrial.api.ubidots.com:1883
protocol="mqtt"username="[YOUR_TOKEN]"subscribe="/v1.6/devices/syrus4g"
publish="/v1.6/devices/[YOUR_DEVICE_LABEL]"
Replace [YOUR_TOKEN] for you Ubidots Account Token and [YOUR_DEVICE_LABEL] with the label you want the device to have in Ubidots, keep in mind that you can only user lower case letters.
NOTE: For More information please refer to this article: https://syrus.pegasusgateway.com/syrdocs/syrus4/syruslang/#destinations
The second file contains all the events that will be sent to the Ubidots over MQTT, here is an example, this will send Ignition On/Off events and track points every minute:
####### ###### ####### ###### ###########
############ START MQTT EVENT ###########
define variable constant_1 1
define fieldset ubidots
fields="ident":$modem.imei,position.context.lat:$gnss.latitude,position.context.lng:$gnss.longitude,position.value:$variables.constant_1,"position.direction":$gnss.heading,"position.hdop":$gnss.hdop,"position.pdop":$gnss.pdop,"position.vdop":$gnss.vdop,"position.speed":$gnss.mph,"position.altitude":$gnss.altitude,"event.enum":code,"can.engine.rpm":$ecu.rpm,"can.throttle.pedal.level":$ecu.accel_pedal_position,"can.engine.temperature":$ecu.coolant_temp,"can.fuel.consumed":$ecu.fuel_total,"can.intake.map":$ecu.intake_manif_pressure,"can.vehicle.speed":$ecu.fe6c_7-8,"can.fuel.temperature":$ecu.fuel_temp,"can.engine.load":$ecu.engine_load,"can.engine.torque":$ecu.actual_engine_torque,"can.catalyst.outlet.temp":$ecu.aftmt_catalyst_outlet_gas_temp,"can.fuel.rate":$ecu.fuel_rate,"can.engine.hours":$ecu.hours_total,"can.ambient.temp":$ecu.ambient_air_temp,"can.oil.pressure":$ecu.oil_pressure

####### ###### ####### ###### #######
NOTE: If you need more information about how to configure more events please refer to SyrusLang documentation: https://syrus.pegasusgateway.com/syrdocs/syrus4/syruslang
Step 4: Upload your configuration files
Select your created instance:
Go to Data Folder Tab:
Select Upload File:
Search in your local disk the previous configurations files created, and upload it one by one:
Go to the Configuration tab, pull down Configuration and Destination File, select your previously updated items, and click the Save button:
Step 5: Start your instance
Finally, go back to the Information tab and click the Start button:
Step 6: Check your data in Ubidots Device
The reported variables should be automatically created according to the fieldset configuration:
Now you can design your own dashboards with Syrus 4G data:
