1 Introduction

ICP DAS data acquisition and control modules provide analog-to-digital,

digital-to-analog, digital input/output, timer/counter and other functions. The

modules can be remotely controlled by using a set of commands, called the

DCON protocol, in addition to standard Modbus RTU protocol commands.

DCON protocol commands are in ASCII format and are in hexadecimal format

for Modbus RTU commands. Communication between the module and the

Host is via a standard RS-485 bidirectional serial bus. Baud Rates are

software programmable and transmission speeds of up to 115.2 Kbps can be

selected.

The GPS-721-MRTU module ensures high sensitivity and low power

consumption with an ultra small form factor, and also supports the NMEA 0183

GPS protocol. The embedded GPS module is powered by a MediaTek solution

and can provide superior performance, even in an urban environment, or an

environment that features dense foliage. In addition to the ability to acquire

GPS data, the GPS-721-MRTU includes a single Digital Output channel and a

single PPS (pulse per second) channel that can be used for precise

timekeeping and time measurement. PPS functionality can be combined with

an additional external time source in order to synchronize signal operations,

and also provides the full date and time for accurate and precise applications.

Consequently, the

GPS-721-MRTU can act

as a powerful remote GPS

module as well as a

general purpose GPS

module with an RS-232

interface. It can also be

applied to applications

related to automotive

navigation, personal

positioning and

navigation, marine

navigation, and satellite time correction etc.

1.7 Operation Modes

The back panel of the

GPS-721-MRTU contains the

frame ground and the INIT/Normal

Switch. The module has two

operation modes (INIT and

Normal modes), which can be

determined via the switch

mechanism on the chassis. The

description and figure are as

follows.

Mode Description

INIT

After setting the module to “INIT” mode and restarting the

module, a connection can be established using the default

module address and communication settings, allowing

new parameters for the module to be set.

INIT Mode:

 Protocol: DCON

 Module Address: 00

 Communication Baud Rate: 9600bps

 Checksum: Disabled

Note: The DCON command to set the address, the Baud

Rate and the checksum is %AANNTTCCFF. Refer to

section 2.1 for details.

Normal In Normal mode, the module will operate based on the

user’s settings.

1.8 Wiring Recommendations

ICP DAS recommends that the following items are kept in mind when installing

your GPS-721-MRTU module.

 Use a 26-12 AWG wire for signal connections

 Strip the wire to a length of 7 mm ±0.5 mm

 Use a crimp terminal for wiring

 Avoid high-voltage cables and power equipment as much as possible

 For RS-485 communication, use insulated and twisted pair 24 AWG wire,

e.g., Belden 9841

1.9 Wiring

 Digital Output Wiring

 PPS Wiring

The PPS channel will output a 100 ms pulse each second when effective GPS

signals are being received, as shown in the following figure.

[DAJK3]: In some cases,

you have “OFF” and in others

you show it as “Off”. Change

the image so that it is

consistent.

Note: A Pulse per second (PPS) is an electrical signal that very precisely

indicates the start of a second. PPS signals can be used for precise

timekeeping and time measurement. PPS functionality can be combined

with another time source that provides the full date and time in order to

ascertain the time both accurately and precisely.

1.11 Mounting

The GPS-721-MRTU can be mounted on either a DIN-Rail or a wall, or it can

be piggybacked to other modules using the bottom of the chassis.

 DIN-Rail Mounting

The GPS-721-MRTU includes simple rail clips that allow for for reliable

mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.

Three new DIN-Rail models are available, and each is made of stainless

steel, which is stronger than those made of aluminum. There is a screw at

one end, and a ring terminal is included so that it can be easily connected

to the earth ground.

Note: It is recommended that a 16 – 14 AWG wire is used to connect the DIN

rail to the earth ground.

 Piggyback Mounting

The GPS-721-MRTU has two holes on either side of the module to enable

piggyback mounting. Refer to the figure below for an illustration of how to

piggyback the modules.
