  • Monitors the TDS-Product Battery voltage and the internal IOT-Box temperature/humidity. Optional the ambient and/or street temperature can be monitored. All values will be securly reportet to the TDS - Smart City Dashboard

  • Microcontroller powered device with an GSM/LTE wireless interface. The integrated SIM can be used worldwide. The OS and Application SW can be upgraded and controlled from remote. It’s a low power device with deep sleep capapilities.

The TDS IoT-Box PCB

  • All Particle B Series SoM microcontroller modules are compatible with this IoT-Box. This boards have a LTE/3G/2G and Bluetooth-LE interface is onboard. The cellular modem covers most contries around the world. See below for more informations.

  • Both Micro-USB ports are used as console interfaces.

    • USB-NRF is the console port to the microcontroller. This port can be used to upload the microcontroller OS and the application image.

    • USB-LTE is the console port to the cellular chip. It is nesessary for potential future firmware upgrades.

  • Is there to measure the internal IoT-Box temperature and humidity.

  • Both expansion slots can hold existing and future Slot-Modules. So the IoT-Box can get new features when necessary.

  • The remaining PCB components are there to adapt/controle various system voltages, battery voltage measuring bridge, the status RGB-LED, the external status LED and the mode/reset button.

The PCB fully equiped

  • Particles B523 microcontroller has an LTE/3G/2G and Bluetooth-LE interface. B523 is the version for Europe and Oceania.

  • Is a 1-Wire adapter module for an external temperature sensor (DS18B20).

  • The big old style connectors are great for quick prototyp development. Here you ca see an PA6H GPS module.

The PCB mounted in the IoT-Box case

    • L/W/H 142 x 100 x 33 mm

    • L/W/H 5,59 x 3,94 x 1,30 in

    • Weight 180 g or 0,397 lbs

  • Input voltage

    • 7 - 20 VDC

    Current consumption

    • 95 mA in the active mode phase

    • 17,6 mA in the sleep phase

    • 19,5 mA average when sleeping for 60 seconds

    Permitted teperature range

    • -20 to +70 °C

    • -4 to +158 °F

  • IP65 and UL94-HB

More product informations

 

  • You can find the technical details in the TDS IoT-Box datasheet.

  • The complete and actual cellular coverage can be found in the particle documentation. Please use a valid B Series SoM as device and the region of your interest for the list of supported countries.

  • The next TDS IoT-Box version is equiped with an improved step-down voltage circuit and needs only 4mA during sleep mode!

 

The Network Interactions

Here you can see the invisible data communication between all coorporating IoT-Suppliers:

  • usid.at - IoT Device development, programming and OTA Management

  • particle.io - provides the Microcontrollers, the Data- and IoT-Cloud Services

  • prometa.at - the Smart City Dashboard provider

The Customers use simply just the Smart City Dashboard to interact wit their various IoT-Devices. They do not need to setup, manage or maintain all of the above described IoT-Infrastructure.
