Dump/Tipper Truck Operations Monitoring

Hi Roberto,

the main problem will be to find the correct wires.
Every truck has different, also every manufactor use different schemes depending of the age of the unit.
(i am sure you know that).
So there is no standard to do.
I would start in analysing how driver starts the process. If its an electrical switch --> take voltage from there
if its canbus --> you have a problem and need to check more mechanical, for example hydraulic pump, if its electric --> again voltage
if mechanical --> maybe you can use RPM of engine for it. (no speed but RPM goes up --> process startet"
and so on and so on.

I would just ask the maintanance people how to get a voltage if process is startet

We have customers in earth moving that require this function. The PTO is the best connection point.
Some are positive (+) Volts an some are (-) earth.
You should connect the input wires to the PTO's wire relative to (-) or (+) inputs you have on your devise.
You may need to configure the devise pins to change them from Outputs to Inputs in some cases. But the latest GPS devises
do have - & + by default..

once you done this - add your inputs as sensors so your data can be identified by report no or Sensor type

Hope this helps
