SMARTONE C BASICS

OVERVIEW
The SmartOne C is designed to track the positions of trailers, cargo
containers, heavy construction equipment, generators, boats/barges and
any other mobile assets. The SmartOne C also has 2 dry contact inputs, to
manage run time of engines and/or other alarm inputs, and one serial port for
passive and smart sensors.
The SmartOne C processes GPS satellite signals to obtain its position in terms
of longitude and latitude and transmits this information over Globalstar’s
Satellite Network. In addition to position information, the SmartOne C
transmits other message types that include battery status, input alarm status
and diagnostic information. The SmartOne C is configured using a computer
and USB configuration cable to communicate these messages at certain
times and/or under certain conditions.
NOTE: Unless specifically called out otherwise, SmartOne in this manual refers to a
SmartOne C unit. Also, Globalstar is only responsible for ensuring that the SmartOne C meets the
published manufacturing specifications described herein.

MODES OF OPERATION
The SmartOne can be configured to operate in three different Modes:
• Standard Messaging Mode
• Reduced Messaging Mode
• Theft Alert Mode

STANDARD MESSAGING
In Standard Messaging Mode, the SmartOne reports its position based on the choices programmed during the
configuration process. Location messages can be programmed to be sent at a constant interval or at specific Times
of Day. Up to 12 different Time(s) of Day (TOD) may be utilized, but there must be at least 35 minutes between
each chosen TOD.
With Motion: Standard Messaging Mode can also be configured to utilize the SmartOne’s internal motion sensor. If
enabled, the SmartOne will transmit its position at independently configured regular time intervals when the device
is In Motion.
• Example of Message Interval: The SmartOne is configured to report once every 24 hours when not In Motion and
every 2 hours when In Motion. When the SmartOne meets the programmed criteria to be In Motion, Normal Location
messages will be sent every 2 hours until it meets the programmed criteria to be At Rest. (See the Motion Settings
Tab section for selecting In Motion criteria.)
• Example of Message-Time(s) of Day: The SmartOne is configured with a message time of day of 9:00am, a second
message time of day of 12:00 noon, a third message time of day of 8:00pm and once per hour when In Motion.
The SmartOne would transmit Normal Location messages at the configured times every day when At Rest. When
the SmartOne meets the programmed criteria to be In Motion, it will transmit its location message every hour until it
meets the programmed criteria to be At Rest.

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 1


9100-0410-01 R-3

• Usage Example: A Company is required to report the GPS locations of their hazardous chemical containers twice a
day. Based on this requirement the Company has 2 options:
○ Interval Messaging - Set a message interval of every 12 hours; the 12-hour internal begins when the device is
powered up.
○ Time(s) of Day Messaging – Set two Times of Day that best fit with the workday (e.g., 7:00 am and 6:00 pm or
12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight).

REDUCED MESSAGING
Reduced Messaging Mode extends the battery life associated with transmitting messages over Globalstar’s satellite
network by sending messages at a minimal message interval when the asset is in a defined area and transmits at a higher
message interval when the asset is changing locations. These message intervals are set as part of the configuration
process based on the concept that repeated reporting information of the same location, when an asset has not moved
from its defined area, is redundant and doesn’t provide additional usable information about its current location.
By comparing current and prior position information, the SmartOne determines if its location is changing. The definable area
in which the device should remain in Reduced Messaging Mode is a square called the Change of Location Area. When the
SmartOne goes outside of the square, its location is considered to be changing or relocating.
Usage Example: A fleet operator owns 1,000 trailers. When the trailer(s) are sitting at a depot they want a location
message once a day. They also want a message notification within 1 hour when a trailer has left a depot. Lastly, they
want a location message every 3 hours when a trailer is moving between depots. Based on this requirement, the fleet
operator will need to set the Change of Location Area (size of the depots where the trailers will visit), the message
interval while the trailers are inside the Change of Location Area (1 per day), the interval at which the SmartOne will
check its location while in a State of Vibration and inside the Change of Location Area (1 per hour), and the In Motion
message interval while the trailers are in transit between depots (every 3 hours).

THEFT ALERT
When the SmartOne is configured to operate in the Theft Alert Mode, it differentiates between authorized and
unauthorized movement of an asset. While the power to the SmartOne is turned off, all movement of the asset is
considered authorized. When power is turned on, the SmartOne obtains a position from GPS satellites. The position is
used to set the center of the defined Change of Location Area in Theft Alert Mode. While in the Change of Location Area,
the SmartOne obtains position fixes at an interval set during configuration. As long as the SmartOne remains within the
Change of Location Area all movement is considered to be authorized.

Once the SmartOne’s position is outside of the Change of Location Area, it alerts the SmartOne to an unauthorized
movement and immediately sends a location message (Change of Location Alert Message). The SmartOne continues to
send location messages at a message interval set during the configuration process until the power is turned off or the
battery is dead.
Usage Example: A construction company is working on a job site for 1 year and wants to ensure that their generators
and other heavy equipment on site aren’t stolen. The company wants to check the location of their equipment 12 times
a day, every 2 hours, to confirm the asset hasn’t been stolen, but only wants a transmitted location message once per
day. Based on this requirement, the construction company will need to set the Change of Location Area (size of the job
site), the message interval while inside the Change of Location Area (1 per day), the interval at which the SmartOne will
check its location while in a State of Vibration and within the Change of Location Area (every 2 hours) and the message
interval if the asset is outside the Change of Location Area.

INPUTS
The SmartOne has a multi-functional user interface that provides ground, two dry contact inputs, power and soft-power
down, and serial communication lines.

The SmartOne allows sending Input Status Changed Messages for both Input 1 and Input 2. The Inputs must be asserted
for at least 5 seconds in order to be acknowledged.
Usage Example: A construction company needs to document, per their contract, when they begin their work day and
when they end their work day. Based on this requirement, the SmartOne would be connected to the ignition switch and
configured to send a transmission with location when the input changes state.
The SmartOne also allows the user to define the Message Interval while the Inputs are in an Undesired State, either
Opened or Closed.
Usage Example: A company has remote containers at job sites and would like to know if a door is ajar. If a door is left ajar
the company would like a notification every 2 hours. Based on this requirement, the SmartOne would be connected to an
open door sensor with the Undesired Input State Message enabled and set as Opened with a Message Interval of 2 hours.
NOTE: By default, the SmartOne uses a 5 minute "hysteresis" window to prevent sending false alarms. This means that only
one status change message can be sent during any 5 minute time window. Any subsequent status changes will be detected
but not reported. Multiple status changes during any 5 minute window will result in the transmission of incorrect trigger bits.
Refer to the section for Input Status Changed Message. The Hysteresis may be changed to 0 minutes using the Configuration
Software Program; refer to the Tools Menu Section for details.

The SmartOne has the ability to send an Accumulate/Count Message at a regular configurable interval and/or based on
configurable multiples of accumulated hours and/or number of counted events or hours of vibration.
Usage Example 1: A construction company needs weekly engine run times for their heavy equipment to manage their
maintenance scheduling. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule a weekly Accumulate/Count Message.
Usage Example 2: A construction company wants to ensure that no equipment is ever operated beyond 400 hours
without maintenance. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule an Accumulate/Count Message for
every 400 hours of use.

The SmartOne has the ability to send both Status Change and Undesired State messages based on vibration.

SERIAL COMMANDS
The SmartOne uses the multi-functional user interface for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive and
smart sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors or instru-
ments, that can format and communicate with the SmartOne, can send user data through the SmartOne by using these
two commands.

The SmartOne connects to smart sensors via the SmartOne External Input Cable (see Appendix K – External Input Cable)

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 3


9100-0410-01 R-3

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
The SmartOne communicates with both the GPS satellite network and the Globalstar Satellite Network. All GPS locations
are pulled from the GPS network and all transmissions are sent via the Globalstar Satellite Network.

The SmartOne has the unique ability to check its GPS coordinates at a programmable rate while it is inside of the Change
of Location Area without actually sending a message over the Globalstar Satellite Network.
For a Location Message, the SmartOne will wake up at a scheduled interval or time of day and begin to acquire a GPS fix.
Once it receives its GPS fix, the SmartOne will transmit its location to the Globalstar Satellite Network.

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 4


9100-0410-01 R-3

GLOBALSTAR SATELLITE NETWORK


The network is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation
with the satellites constantly orbiting the earth and completing
their respective orbit in less than 2 hours. Because of this, the
SmartOne will be in contact with at least one of the satellites
during each scheduled transmission. In LEO communication
networks, the satellites are constantly changing their positions in
the sky relative to the transmitter on earth. This minimized the
shading effects seen in geostationary satellite systems where the
mobile device must be pointed toward a specific direction in the
sky. Geostationary satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude
and move along the equator.

Messages are transmitted from the SmartOne via the Globalstar Satellite Network using an uplink-only connection
(one-way data transmission) and received by a Globalstar Ground Station. The messages are then sent via an HTTP
or FTP server to the Internet and received by the VAR or end customer’s back office application and converted into
actionable data.
The SmartOne will send each message 3 times to ensure that the message has been received by the Globalstar
Satellite Constellation. Once Globalstar receives the message, any remaining duplicate messages are ignored and
discarded (VAR or end user account is only charged for 1 transmission).

NOTE: User information is also referred to as the Message Payload.

GLOBAL MESSAGE TYPE


Bits 0 and 1 in the first byte of the user data define the Global Message Type; there are four total global types. Types
0 and 3 are applicable to the function and features of the SmartOne, type 1 and 2 are user defined message types.
• Type 0 - Standard Message: All of the various message types that contain Latitude and Longitude data that are
transmitted by the SmartOne will be of this type.
• Type 1 - Truncated Message: This message type provides for up to 2 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be
appended to the status byte and GPS location information.
• Type 2 - Raw Message: This message type provides for up to 8 bytes plus 6 bits of user data.
• Type 3 - Non Standard Message: This is the message type that covers the category “none of the above”. The
SmartOne will use this message type for messages that do not contain Latitude and Longitude data. Smart One
message types which fall into this category include Accumulate/Count messages, Diagnostic messages, Contact
Service Provider messages and Low Battery messages.

TYPE 0 MESSAGE CLASS


The below table displays the format of all standard messages. Specific variants of the message will be shown
individually in the following subsections.

BYTE # VARIABLE BITS DESCRIPTION


0 TYPE FIELD 2 Bit (1:0) = 0 = message type:

0 BATTERY STATE 1 Bit (2) 0 = Good battery. 1 = Replace battery.


Bit (3) 0 = GPS Data valid in this message. 1 = GPS failed in this message cycle,
0 GPS DATA VALID 1
ignore Latitude and Longitude fields.
Bit (4) Missed Input 1. A value of 1 in this bit means that an input state change of
Input 1 was missed due to the transmission of a higher priority message.
0 MISSED INPUT STATE CHANGE 2
Bit (5) = Missed Input 2. A value of 1 in this bit means that an input state change
of Input 2 was missed due to the transmission of a higher priority message.
0 GPS FAIL COUNTER 2 Bit (7:6) = GPS fail counter. Counts up to a maximum value of 3 upon GPS failure.
Byte 1 = Latitude MSByte
Byte 2 = Latitude
Byte 3 = Latitude LSByte
1,2,3,4,5,6 LATITUDE/LONGITUDE 48

360 degrees of Longitude coded in signed binary with 3 bytes and 180
degrees of Latitude coded in signed binary with 3 bytes.
Positive Longitudes correspond to East Longitudes
Positive Latitudes correspond to North Latitudes

See Appendix G for an Lat/Long decoding example


These bits reflect the state of the Inputs and indicate which one, if any, triggered
an Input Status Changed message.
Bit 0: Input 1 change: 0 = Did not trigger message, 1 = Triggered message.
7 INPUT STATUS 4
Bit 1: Input 1 state: 0 = Closed, 1 = Open
Bit 2: Input 2 change: 0 = Did not trigger message, 1 = Triggered message
Bit 3: Input 2 state: 0 = Closed, 1 = Open

in the fix.) Value 0 = GPS data reported is from a 3D fix.
Bit (6) – Value 1 = Device was In-Motion when the message was transmitted.
8 MOTION 1
Value 0 = Device was At Rest when the message was transmitted.
Bit (7) 0=High confidence in GPS fix accuracy, 1=Reduced confidence in GPS
8 FIX CONFIDENCE BIT. 1
fix accuracy.

LOCATION MESSAGE
This is the message that is transmitted on an interval. When this message is received, it indicates that the
transmission is due to a scheduled interval at either the At Rest rate or In Motion rate. Whether the device is At Rest
or In Motion can be determined by the Motion bit (Byte 8 , bit 6).

The Location Message Subtype field of this message is contained in byte 7; bits 4-7 have a value of zero 0.

DEVICE TURNED ON MESSAGE


This is the message transmitted at power on.

The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 1.

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 47


9100-0410-01 R-3

CHANGE OF LOCATION AREA ALERT MESSAGE


This is the message transmitted when the SmartOne detects that it has left its Change of Location Area.

The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 2.

INPUT STATUS CHANGED MESSAGE


This is the message that will be transmitted upon the change of state of the inputs if it is enabled and as selected by
the user:
• Input 1 open, Input 1 closed, or Input 1 both(open or closed)
• Input 2 open, Input 2 closed, or Input 2 both(open or closed)

The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 3.

The Input Status Value of byte 7; bits 0-3 in the Standard message indicates the type of Input change (Input 1 or
Input 2) that triggers the message and the status of inputs (open or closed).

The reporting of the inputs status may be configured in 2 different ways:

1. The status of inputs captured when the input state message is actually triggered.
-This option will indicate the input states closed or open when message was triggered by the S1C.

2. The status of inputs captured while building the Standard Message and is ready to transmit.
-This option will be helpful when Input Status Changed Message is configured with GPS.
-This option will give flexibility to capture Missed Input State Change status while obtaining a GPS fix.
-This option will give flexibility to capture status of Inputs after GPS fix is obtained since the GPS fix could take
up to a maximum of 4 minutes.

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 48


9100-0410-01 R-3

UNDESIRED INPUT STATE MESSAGE


This is the message that is transmitted when the user has selected an undesired input state to cause a different
report rate. When this Mode is enabled, the user defined Undesired Input State report rate supersedes the At Rest
and In Motion report rates when the Input(s) is (are) in an undesired state.
The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 4.
The Input Status Value of byte 7; bits 0-3 in the Standard message indicates which Inputs (Input 1 or Input 2) are in
an undesired state and trigger the Undesired Input State report rate along with indicating the status of inputs (open
or closed).
The reporting of the inputs status may be configured in 2 different ways:
1. The status of inputs captured when the Undesired Input State message is triggered.
- This option will indicate the input states closed or open when Undesired Input State message was triggered by
the S1C.
2. The status of inputs captured while building the Standard Message and is ready to transmit.
- This option will be helpful since Undesired Input State Message always needs a GPS fix preceding a
transmission.
- This option will give flexibility to capture Missed Undesired State Inputs Status while attaining GPS fix.
- This option will give flexibility to capture status of Inputs after GPS fix is obtained since the GPS fix could take
up to a maximum of 4 minutes.

RE-CENTER MESSAGE
The Re-Center message is transmitted when Reduced Messaging Mode is selected and the SmartOne re-centers
(automatically sets a new Change of Location Area).
The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 5.

TYPE 1 MESSAGE CLASS

TRUNCATED MESSAGE TYPE – SINGLE PACKET


This message type provides for up to 2 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be appended to the status byte and GPS
location information. The input and status bits data of the standard message are replaced with user data from the
configuration port. The Truncated message will follow the following on-air format:

VARIABLE BITS DESCRIPTION

TRUNCATED MESSAGE TYPE – MULTIPLE PACKET VERSION


The Globalstar Commercial IoT messaging protocol provides for single and multiple packet messaging. In the event
that the user application requests a user data length exceeding 9 bytes, the SmartOne (running firmware version
2.1 or later) will automatically “packetize” the message, that is, transmit it as multiple 9 byte packets. The ground
station appliqué will reverse the process, “de-packetizing” the message back into a single (“long”) message. From
the user application point of view, this eliminates the 9 byte limitation allowing the user to compose longer messages
transparently. They are presented to the user by the Globalstar back office as complete messages of a length longer
than 9 bytes. The SmartOne supports user-defined messages (Class 1 and 2) of up to 54 bytes.
This message type provides for up to 47 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be appended to the status byte and GPS
location information. The input and status bits data of the standard message are replaced with user data from
the configuration port. Note: Total message length will be a minimum of 9 bytes in length, and a maximum of 54
bytes in length, and the length sent to the user will always be divisible by 9. The Truncated message will follow the
following on-air format:

VARIABLE BITS DESCRIPTION

TYPE 2 MESSAGE CLASS

RAW MESSAGE TYPE – SINGLE PACKET VERSION


Message type 2 shall be a Raw Payload message. This message type provides for up to 8 bytes plus 6 bits of user
data. This mode is provided to enable the user to directly send a single data burst through the network. The only bits
not accessible to the user are the message type bits needed by the receiving data processor to delineate message
type associated to the transmit ID. User data less than the full payload will be zero padded as necessary.

The Raw Payload message will follow the following on-air format:

VARIABLE BITS DESCRIPTION

TYPE 3 MESSAGE CLASS


The SmartOne will use the Type 3 message class for the following message types:
• Diagnostic Message – Subtype 21.
• Replace Battery Message – Subtype 22.
• Contact Service Provider Message – Subtype 23.

DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGE
The Diagnostic Message includes battery status, GPS average acquisition time, GPS fails and number of
transmissions since the last Diagnostic Message.

Appendix I has an example of a decoded Diagnostic Message.

The format and fields of the SmartOne Diagnostic Message is shown in table 8 below.

BYTE # VARIABLE BITS DESCRIPTION


0 TYPE FIELD 2 Bit (1:0) = 3 Non Standard message type:
Bit (7:2) = 21 for Diagnostic Message.

Bit (7:2) = 23 Contact Service Provider Message..
NUMBER OF TRANSMISSIONS
1 4 Bits(3:0) = Number of Transmissions (1 to 15 Transmissions)
PER BURST.
1 BATTERY CONDITION 1 Bit 4: 0 = Good battery. 1 = Replace Battery

1 GPS SUBSYSTEM FAULT 1 Bit 5: 0 = GPS system OK. 1 = Fault


TRANSMITTER SUBSYSTEM
1 1 Bit 6: 0 = Transmitter OK. 1 = Fault.
FAULT
1 SCHEDULER SUBSYSTEM FAULT 1 Bit 7: 0 = OK. 1 = Fault
Minimum Interval between transmission attempts (5 second resolution) Default is

5,6 # GPS FAILS 16 Unsigned binary count of failed GPS attempts since last Diagnostic Message

7,8 # TRANSMISSIONS 16 # of transmissions since last Diagnostic message

REPLACE BATTERY MESSAGE


The Replace Battery message has a format almost identical to the Diagnostic message. If enabled by the user, the
Replace Battery message will be sent by the SmartOne when the battery charge level is at or below the replace
battery advisement level. The message will be repeated at an interval configurable by the user for as long as the
battery remains below the advisement level. The default configuration is for the Replace Battery message to be
enabled and to be transmitted once per day when the battery is low.

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 53


9100-0410-01 R-3

CONTACT SERVICE PROVIDER MESSAGE


The SmartOne will send a Contact Service Provider message when an internal fault is detected. The SmartOne will
send one such message upon the detection of an internal fault. It will then attempt to continue to operate normally.
The SmartOne will not send another Contact Service Provider message unless the fault is determined to have
cleared, and then determined to have come back again.

ACCUMULATE/COUNT MESSAGE
The Accumulate/Count message is used to report the accumulation of time that an input is in a specified state as
defined by the user, the accumulation of time that the device is in a State of Vibration, and/or the total transitions of
the Inputs, as configured by the user. The message is transmitted either at a pre-set interval, at a point where any
of the accumulation or count registers reach multiples as programmed by the user, just before rollover of any count/
accumulate register, or all of the above. Appendix J has an example of a decoded Accumulate/Count message.

BYTE # VARIABLE BITS DESCRIPTION


0 TYPE FIELD 2 Bit (1:0) = 3 Non Standard message type:

0 SUBTYPE 6 Bit (7:2) = 24 Accumulate/Count message..


Accumulated time that Input 1 has been in its undesired state with a resolution of
10 minutes. For example: 1 hour would be represented as a value of 6, 2 hours as
1, 2 ACCUMULATED INPUT 1 16 a value of 12, etc. This resolution results in a rollover rate of a total time accumu-
lation of approximately 1.25 years. (OxFFFF means that Input 1 Accumulate has
been turned off)
Accumulated time that Input 2 has been in its undesired state with a resolution
of 10 minutes. For example: 1 hour would be represented as a value of 6, 2
3, 4 ACCUMULATED INPUT 2 16 hours as a value of 12, etc. This resolution results in a rollover rate of a total
time accumulation of approximately 1.25 years. (OxFFFF means that Input 2
Accumulate has been turned off)
Accumulated time that the SmartOne has been in a State of Vibration with a
resolution of 10 minutes. For example: 1 hour would be represented as a value of
5, 6 ACCUMULATED VIBRATION 16 6, 2 hours as a value of 12, etc. This resolution results in a rollover rate of a total
time accumulation of approximately 1.25 years. (OxFFFF means that Accumulated
Vibration has been turned off)
The total number of openings or closings of input 1 as selected by the user. (OxFF
7 INPUT 1 COUNT 8
means that Input 1 Accumulate has been turned off)
The total number of openings or closings of input 2 as selected by the user. (OxFF

MESSAGING PRIORITY

PRIORITIZATION OF PERIODIC STANDARD MESSAGE REPORT RATES


The SmartOne supports several rates at which it will send a Periodic standard message. Periodic versus Scheduled
standard message rates are mutually exclusive. This is the priority of the different rates at which the SmartOne will
send a standard message (Highest is listed first):
• Rate specified by Undesired Input State.
• Rate specified for when the SmartOne is inside its Change of Location Area.
• Rate specified for when device is In Motion. (Note, when inside the Change of Location Area, this rate
affects sampling, but not reporting, as indicated by a higher priority for inside Change of Location Area.)
• Rate specified for when the device is At Rest.

MESSAGE PRIORITIES
It is possible that message types may collide. Whenever feasible, the SmartOne will examine its known schedule
and reschedule lower priority messages to occur after higher priority ones. If there is not enough time in the known
schedule for all scheduled messages to be transmitted in a reasonable time, or there is insufficient memory to
queue them, the lowest priority message(s) could be dropped. In any case, unscheduled messages (for example,
Input Status Changed) shall cancel pending messages of lower priority and not cancel pending messages of higher
priority. The following list shows the priority of message types, with the highest priority being listed first.
• Contact Service Provider
• User Defined Raw message*
• User Defined Truncated message*
• Change of Location Area
• Replace Battery
• Undesired Input State
• Re-Center
• Diagnostics
• Accumulate/Count
• Input Status Changed
• Device Turned On
• Normal Location (In-Motion or At-Rest).

*NOTE: The two user defined message types actually have equal priority. Either one will cancel the other one. If,
for example, the user interface commands the device to send a Truncated message, and then, before it has time to
obtain a fix and send the message, the user commands a Raw message, the Raw message will be sent.

SERIAL COMMANDS

The SmartOne uses the multi-functional user interface for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive
and smart sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors
that can format and communicate to the SmartOne can send user data through the SmartOne by using these two
commands. The rate is specified by the Undesired Input State message interval.

This section describes the serial interface between the SmartOne and a computer or other programming device.
SmartOne will respond to any invalid command with a NAK response (payload field set to 0xFF).

SERIAL PACKET FORMAT (COMMANDS AND RESPONSES)


Communication to the SmartOne will follow the following specific format:

PREAMBLE LENGTH CMD DATA CRC


1 BYTE 1 BYTE 1 BYTE Variable length 0 – 54 bytes 2 bytes

Total length range permitted: 5 bytes (Data field length 0) to 59 bytes (Data field length 54).

SERIAL PACKET FIELDS


The different fields are defined as:

PREAMBLE FIXED PATTERN 0XAA


LENGTH Total number of bytes in the serial packet including the preamble
Command type (See table below). Responses to commands carry the same
CMD
command type as the command that initiated the answer
DATA Data associated with the command or answer

CRC LOW Least significant byte of the 16-bit CRC

CRC HIGH Most significant byte of the 16-bit CRC

SmartOne C User Manual Confidential & Proprietary Information Page 56


9100-0410-01 R-3

CRC ALGORITHM
The Security Field is a 16-bit CRC of all of the previous fields including the preamble, length, and command bytes.
The remainder is initialized to all 1's (0xFFFF) and the CRC is inverted before being sent. Following is a sample C
routine that implements the algorithm using the reversed technique:

WORD crc16_lsb(BYTE *pData, WORD length)


{
BYTE i;
WORD data, crc;
crc = 0xFFFF;
if (length == 0)
return 0;

do
{
data = (WORD)0x00FF & *pData++;
crc = crc ^ data;
for (i = 8; i > 0; i--)
{
if (crc & 0x0001)
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ 0x8408;
else
crc >>= 1;
}
} while (--length);

crc = ~crc;
return (crc);
}

As an example, for a type (0x01) “Get ID” message made up of the following bytes: AA 05 01
The following 2 byte CRC would be calculated: D5 50
The complete message sent by the host to the SmartOne is: AA 05 01 50 D5

SEND TRUNCATED MESSAGE (SERIAL MESSAGE TYPE 0X26)


The SmartOne will perform a GPS location and append user data passed to the unit via the Truncated Message
command 0x26.

47 bytes plus 6 bits of user data may be sent with the standard GPS location information in a messaging burst.
Two bits are set in the on-air message by the SmartOne informing the recipient that the message is the Truncated
type.,The following table defines the message structure of the “data” portion of the command used to send a
Truncated message.

Communication to the SmartOne will follow the following specific format:

BYTE BIT PARAMETER DESCRIPTION DEFAULT VALUE


User data bits. Bits 1:0 are reserved and will be
0 7.2 SUBMASK BITS 0X00
masked by SmartOne
Supports a maximum of 47 total bytes in this field.
User application (smart sensor) should transmit only as
VARIABLE USER DATA
many bytes as needed (don’t pad the message) in order
to keep on air packets to a minimum

Example 1 - Sending a “Truncated” User Message


The host sends:
AA 08 26 10 22 33 <CRC-low> <CRC-High>
The SmartOne would respond:
AA 05 26 <CRC-Low> <CRC-High>
What would go out over the air is:
11 Lat-3 Lat-2 Lat-1 Lon-3 Lon-2 Lon-1 22 33
NOTE: The least two significant bits of the first byte are always “01” for a truncated message, the
remaining 6 bits make up the top 6 bits of the first byte sent in the serial command, in this example
000100xx (with the “xx” representing the two bits that the SmartOne forces to “01”).
The 22 and the 33 that the user sent are appended after the 6 bytes of latitude and longitude.

Example 2 - Using a Longer Message


The host sends:
AA 0D 26 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 <CRC-low> <CRC-High>
NOTE: The length field: 0D – 0D is the number 13 in hexadecimal, the length of the total serial command.
The SmartOne would respond:
AA 05 26 <CRC-Low> <CRC-High>
What would go out over the air is:
11 Lat-3 Lat-2 Lat-1 Lon-3 Lon-2 Lon-1 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 00 00 00 00
NOTE: All on air messages are padded to a multiple of 9 bytes. This is the reason for the trailing zeros in
this example.

SEND RAW MESSAGE (SERIAL MESSAGE TYPE 0X27)


The SmartOne will send raw user data using the Raw Payload command 0x27.

53 bytes plus 6 bits of user data may be sent. Two bits are set in the on-air message by the SmartOne informing the
recipient that the message is Raw.

The following table defines the message structure used to send a Raw message.

BYTE BIT PARAMETER DESCRIPTION DEFAULT VALUE


User data bits. Bits 1:0 are reserved and will be
0 7.2 SUBMASK BITS 0X00

Any user data
Supports a maximum of 53 total bytes in this field.
VARIABLE USER DATA User application (smart sensor) should transmit only as
many bytes as needed (don’t pad the message) in order
to keep on air packets to a minimum

Example 1 - Sending a Raw User Message:


The Host sends:
AA 0E 27 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
The SmartOne Responds:
AA 05 27 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
What actually goes out over the air is:
12 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99
NOTE: The least two significant bits of the first byte are always “10” for a raw message (a HEX or decimal
value of “2”, the remaining 6 bits make up the top 6 bits of the first byte sent in the serial command, in this
example 000100xx (with the “xx” representing the two bits that the SmartOne forces to “10”).

Example 2 - Using a Longer Message:


The Host sends:
AA 21 27 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA 44
56 78 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
NOTE: The length field, the command contains a total of 33 bytes. The length is 21 Hexadecimal,
which is equal to 33 decimal.
The SmartOne Responds:
AA 05 27 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
What actually goes out over the air is:
12 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA 44 56 78 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00
NOTE: All on air messages are padded to a multiple of 9 bytes. This is the reason for the trailing zeros in
this example.

A simple ACK or NAK from the SmartOne Device to the host (smart sensor):
ACKs.
AA 05 26 <crc crc> (for the Truncated message)
AA 05 27 <crc crc> (for the Raw message)
NAK:
AA 05 FF <crc crc> (NAK).

NOTE: As the SmartOne operates, some debugging traces come out of the serial port. Those traces should simply
be ignored. Once the handshake line is pulled low, the unit is in “command mode” and debugging traces will stop.

NOTE: User commands will ALWAYS be responded to immediately with either an acknowledgement or a NAK
(as shown in the examples above). Once an acknowledgement (or NAK) is received, the host should simply
ignore the serial port until the next time it sends a command.

NOTE: The most common reasons for a NAK are incorrect CRC, incorrect length field, or incorrect command
field (i.e. not 0x26 or 0x27 for truncated and raw respectively).

THE HANDSHAKE LINE


The handshake line should be pulled low before sending each serial message. The recommended use of the
handshake line is:
1. Pull handshake low.
2. Wait 2-3 milliseconds.
3. Send command
4. Receive response.
5. Raise handshake high.

CONNECTING SERIAL DEVICES TO THE SMARTONE

The SmartOne accepts a serial connection at 3 volt levels (Max), at 9600 baud. The relevant pins are TX, RX,
Handshake and ground. The SmartOne can connect with devices that contain an asynchronous UART at 3 volt
levels. (High State: 2.7-3 Volts, Low State: 0 Volts. Please contact Globalstar Support for more information).

CAUTION: NEVER attempt to connect the SmartOne directly to the pins on a computer's RS232 or USB
port. The voltages in RS232/USB are too high and can damage the SmartOne.
Any deviations from the above guidelines will violate all RMA requirements and prevent any no-cost replacement.
NOTE: See Appendix K for information on the External Input Cables for the SmartOne.

APPENDIX A - GLOSSARY OF TERMS

A
Accelerometer – A sensor used for detecting and measuring vibration.
Accumulate Hours – The activity time accumulated in the Inputs of the device while the Input is in the user
defined state.
Activation – The activation of an ESN (electronic serial number) on the Globalstar satellite network. The process
consists of programming a start and an end date for the use of the ESN and the payment of certain fees to
Globalstar. Sometimes referred to as “provisioning.”
At Rest – A tracker is considered to be at rest when the comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS
reading indicates that the tracker has not changed location by more than a specified minimum distance. The
specified minimum time and the specified minimum distance are both configuration parameters.

C
Configuration – The collection of variables that control the operating performance of a device.
Configure (configuring) – Programming (setting) the variables that control the operation performance of a tracker.
Count Events – The accumulated number of state changes in the Inputs of the device.

D
Delay To Start – Specific delay in time following the programming of the device to commence operation.
Desired State – The state of the Input in normal condition defined by the user.

E
ESN – Electronic Serial Number is a unique number assigned to each SmartOne device. The ESN is used by the
Globalstar Satellite Network to identify messages from the devices in the field.

F
Failed GPS reading – A GPS reading could not be processed from available GPS satellite signals.
FW Ver – Firmware version is the existing software loaded in the device main processor

G
GPS – The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and
make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location.
GPS reading – The longitude, latitude, time, and date information obtained from processing the signals from the
GPS satellites.

I
In Motion – The unit is considered to be In Motion when there is a State of Vibration – and – when a comparison
of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates the device has changed location by at least a specified
minimum distance (100 meters by default).
Inaccurate GPS reading – The longitude and latitude information obtained from processing the signals from the GPS
satellites when a tracker cannot observe an adequate number of satellites; the GPS signals were jammed by electronic
interference; the GPS signals were reflected from objects creating multi-path conditions; or weather conditions
distorted the GPS signals. An inaccurate GPS reading may have longitude and latitude errors of a mile or more.
Input – A digital channel in the device that allows the detection of switch stage changes. The inputs are dry contact
inputs, ON/OFF.

M
Message – A collection of information that is transmitted in a group over the satellite network.
Message Interval – The amount of time specified by the user between Location Messages. The SmartOne transmits
a Location Message once the Message Interval has elapsed. The internal clock on the device is reset to the interval
time after each transmission. The SmartOne is in low power consumption Mode during the interval to preserve
battery life.
Message Time(s) of Day – The specific time of day in military format for the SmartOne to transmit Location Messages.
The SmartOne is in low power consumption Mode between the specific times of day to preserve battery life.
Message Transmission – The process of sending a message over the satellite network. The process includes
sending a message multiple times to improve the transmission success rate.

N
Number of message repeats – The number of times a message is sent in a message transmission with the same
Unique Message Number(UMN). The number of message repeats is configurable during the tracker set up process.
Globalstar only counts repeated messages as one message if it is received three times or less. If the same message is
received more than three times, Globalstar may count the message as more than one message for billing purposes

S
Self Test – An internal unit test that is performed by the processor, checking for the proper operation of functions.
State of Lacking Vibration – The motion sensor is indicating a cease of vibration when the number of vibration pulses
per minute is lower than the Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor number for the time required to determine if a
State of Vibration has ceased.
SOLV – State of leaving vibration.
SOV – State of vibration.

NOTES
1. When using the 5V external input cable (PN# 2030-0305-01), the supply voltage applied to the Line Power +
wire must be 5.0 +/- 0.25 VDC. Applying a different voltage will either damage the SmartOne C or cause it to
function improperly/shutdown.
2. When using the 8-22 VDC external input cable (PN# 2030-0307-01), the supply voltage applied to the Line
Power + wire must be between 8.0 VDC and 22 VDC. If less than 8 VDC is applied, the regulator will not
function properly. If more than 22 VDC is applied, there is a strong possibility that the regulator inside the cable
will be damaged.
3. If directly connecting your source to Line Power +, the voltage must be 5.0 VDC.
4. This cable is designed to only work with 3.3 VDC logic. Do not use with 5 VDC logic devices.
5. Be certain that unused wires do not short to each other.
6. All ground wires are common; therefore, any ground can be used with any function.
7. Battery voltage is regulated differently internal to the SmartOne unit than Line Power voltage.
