VDO Fleet Manager 200

The FM Companion Development Programme allows developers to take advantage of the open platform architecture of our products. In addition, FM Companion Product developers can leverage their developments off the VDO world-wide distribution network, simply by writing, developing or adapting new or existing solutions to operate with the VDO FM 2002 Professional software or the VDO FM 200 Plus hardware.

The VDO Fleet Manager Communications Software Developers Kit (FM COMMS SDK) can be used by engineers to enable other hardware devices to communicate with the FM 200 Plus on-board computer using RS-232 serial communications. The SDK includes portable C source code that can be used to implement the FM200 Plus communications protocol on programmable serial devices, as well as a callable interface that can be used to develop back office applications to communicate with the FM200 Plus unit once a communications link has been established.

The SDK is written in C and C++ and comes with examples for three operating systems: DOS, Windows and Palm OS.

The FM Comms SDK allows a third party device/computer to:
  • Get and set unit's date/time, driver ID, odometer reading, engine hours.
  • Get general information such as the vehicle ID, driver ID, current speed, RPM, odometer reading, GPS data
  • Download Event and Interval (Tacho) Data from the unit
  • Check critical event conditions such as over speeding, over revving
  • Update event configuration and firmware device drivers in the unit.
  • Store user data and values such as driving and stopping reasons, document codes and costs in the unit's memory
