GPS LOCATION TRANSDUCER MB-GPS-1

GPSLocation Transmitter – MB-GPS-1 

Why choose the MB-GPS-1?

The MB-GPS-1 receives signals from the GPS and GLONASS satellite systems and, based on these, provides geographical coordinates, date and time via RS-485 Modbus RTU.

What does this mean in practice?

• The device provides longitude and latitude.
• Date and time data are also available.
• The transducer utilises the GPS and GLONASS systems.
• If the satellite signal is lost, the internal clock continues to keep time.
• Once the signal is regained, the internal clock is synchronised.
• Communication with the host system takes place via RS-485 Modbus RTU.
• The surface-mounted housing has an IP65 protection rating.

How the MB-GPS-1 GPS location transducer works

The MB-GPS-1 GPS position sensor is equipped with a positioning module for the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system and the GLONASS system
(Russian: ГЛОНАСС, Глобальная навигационная спутниковая система, Globalnaja nawigacionnaja sputnikovaja sistiema). Based on one of these signals,the transducer provides current data on its location: geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude), date and time.
If the satellite signal is lost, the device continues to count down using its internal clock. Once the satellite signal is regained, the internal clock is synchronised to the received value. This process enables time synchronisation with GPS/GLONASS reference clocks and
precise parameter setting, eliminating the need to enter a location manually.
