The RV-M21 RTU has a GPS feature option. and many IO features.

A M21 smart radio modem is a innovative Wireless Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)

The M21  combine the functions of an RTU with a built-in data radio rodem to provide a cost-effective and powerful solution for various industries.

The General Purpose IO (GPIO) pins can be controlled with MODBUS commands.
GPIO pins can be configured to: switch DC power, read analog inputs, read 4-20mA in, or be a digital input.

The M21 is available with 1-5 watts RF output in VHF, UHF and 220MHz bands.

The RV-M21 utilizes the Tech Series front panel has a myriad of IO options.
And IO panes can be used with GPS features also.
For wireless SCADA and wireless RTUs, order the RV-M21 with the GPIO interface or the Flexible IO (FIO) interface.

Connect the GPIO terminal on the Tech Series radio to the right Sensors to Monitor in remote zones.

Boats, Green Houses, Forests, and many places should be monitored to save them. These radios can connect to sensors.
These radios also have accelerometers to monitor angle and vibration to remotely wirelessly monitor sensors, angle, vibration or whatever.

For GPS in License Free RF band use, the RV-M22  is a license free 915MHz RTU.

The RV-M22 has the same GPIO terminal interface option as the RV-M21 has.
Those GPIO and FIO interface options are RTUs built into this data radio.
MODBUS commands work with these radios, and the PLC or Master connect to the radio’s serial port to talk over-the-air to other radios with GPIO.

The communication range is typically 1-10 miles, or 20 miles in open areas.

The miniature RV-M22 is available in the 902-928MHz ISM band.  UHF and VHF 2 watt RV-M22  version are also available.

Raveon’s ATLAS PT is a Personnel Tracking System that provides immediate location.

Raveon’s ATLAS PT is a Personnel Tracking System that provides immediate location, tracking, and alerting while engaged in critical activities. This tracker is ideal for mission critical personnel observation, especially:

  • Border Patrol
  • Fire Fighters
  • SWAT

The ATLAS PT is equipped with an “Emergency Alert” button as well as a “man-down” tilt sensor. The man-down alert system notifies whenever a team member has fallen or has been hurt. The tracker helps you focus and protect your highly trained professionals in whatever mission critical operations you may face. The real-time situational awareness provided by the personal tracker system allows you to orchestrate personnel efforts for optimal operations, and helps you bring your team home safely.

The ATLAS PT is the fastest completely-integrated real-time GPS tracking transponder available. It uses VHF radio channels with no service fees or monthly charges, and works virtually anywhere.

The Atlas PL has multiple applications in military training, and is already being used in bases around America.

Atlas PL may be re-configured to optimize it for specialized operations, extended range, or higher data throughput.

Is configured using its built-in RS232 serial port.

Raveon’s Unique Features for Wireless GPS long-range Monitoring.

  • Low Cost. Raveon’s Tech Series of wireless data modems are the most economical on the GPS market.
  • Easy to use. Plug-in, Turn-on, and GO. Transmit data in = Receive data out.
  • Remote status monitoring including DC voltage, packet error statistics, modem “up time”, and receiver signal strength.
  • GPIO (General Purpose IO) interface options to have the radio modem be your RTU. It can switch DC power on 1-3 terminals. Or measure sensors.
  • FIO (Flexible IO) interface with pins that can be configured as digital inputs or digital outputs.
  • Remote “PING” From any M7 modem, a user may send a “PING” to any other M7 data radio modem to find out the link signal strength.
    This allows quick diagnostics, easy antenna alignment, and reduced site visits.
  • Wide input voltage with high-efficiency switching voltage regulators. Most all allow input voltage from 9 to 30V DC.
  • Capable of store-and-forward repeating operation. Any M21, M8, M7, M6 radio modem may be configured as a store and forward repeater.
  • Small size. Extruded aluminum enclosure is small, and very rugged.
  • Programmable over-the-air data rates. You can choose how your system will work.
    Set the OTA data slower for extended communication range, or set it fast for lowest latency. Your choice.
  • MODBUS messaging. The GPIO and FIO interface IO pins can controlled with MODBUS RTU messages.
  • The RV-M21, RV-M22, RV-M6, RV-M50, RV-N55 RAZN, are all designed by Raveon and Made in America.
  • We have a big GPS radio Website; it is shown here:   Our website RAVTRACK.com     ( https://ravtrack.com  )
    It Shows lots of GPS feature and Options for GPS and GNSS options in radios.

Master Controller Wireless Base Stations

RV-M21 and RV-M22 Tech Series Telemetry Modems can do GPS.

The Tech Series GPS modems comes with multiple front interface options. User for serial data communications, or wireless SCADA and telemetry RTU.  Wireless modems can be used to tap into an existing SCADA network and pull data out, or push data in.  These smart modems are tactical and work with the existing operation of a MODBUS or ProfiBUS-type system. They reliably pass GPS messages, and if you need to route the data to a variety of various servers and base stations, a smart network gateway can also be used. 

Telemetry Slave options with the GPIO and FIO interface. Reliable secure wireless data modems in VHF, UHF, and ISM bands. IO features and GPS information can be sent by these radios.

The Tech Series radio modems are the most flexible RF modem architecture on the planet. They have a myriad of IO options:

  • RS-232   UART Serial. Any baud rate you want to use.
  • RS-422  UART 2-wire Serial. Any baud rate you want to use.
  • RS-485  UART 2 or 4 wire serial. Any baud rate you want to use.
  • USB   to plug into a PC.
  • GPIO   General Purpose IO (Digital IO, Analog input, voltage reading, Switched DC out)
  • Analog   Analog radio for voice communications.
  • FIO   Flexible IO with configurable digital inputs and outputs.
  • CLO is a Current Loop Output CLO that output 4-20mA received from a sensor in a remote area.

For many GPS SCADA systems, the radio modem can be used to communicate with the remote terminal units in very remote areas.

The RV-M21 are 5watt large radios.  The RV-M22 are miniature low-cost data radios for UHF, VHF, or license free ISM bands.

Great GPS $PRAVE Message

Our $PRAVE Message is sent out for Raveon Data Radios with GPS/GNSS features.
Structured $PRAVE as standard NMEA GPS message. The length of this NMEA $PRAVE message exceeds the Standard NMEA.

PRAVE is Along with ID and Position information. It sends Host and other Status information.
Host and other Status information is Shown Here:

  • ID show 2 ID info.   ID sent FROM a radio.     ID that witch Radio should get with this message,
  • Latitude, Longitude, and UTC Time,
  • GPS Status, Number of Satellites track, Altitude in meters,
  • Status Flags: Vibration, Angle, Alerts, Product Service, Gas from sensor,
  • Temperature and Voltage in the Radio.
  • IO Status, RSSI, Speed, Heading, Status, Spare field,

See the PRAVE information in this App Note:  AN177 (PRAVE)  (pdf)

To Safely Monitor IO pin Status with GPS PRAVE Message

Your Radios can always read 8 IO bit status from PRAVE, from your current Receiver or get other IO info from GPS Radios.
And your Computer or Product can setup IO pin status to show the PRAVE IO message using QQQ command.

If you want to manage some IO pin status with a Computer or Device, use QQQ commands here:

If you want to Set and Clear IO pins, with a computer or device.  We added a safe IO command called QQQ.
QQQ is normally note used or turned off, but any customer can turn QQQ on to enable this QQQ command.

Then you can send QQQSxx  to Set a IO pins status.
Then you can send QQQCxx to Clear a IO pin status.
In GPS messages, you can send status information in 8 different IO pins.  Normally 3 are actual Data Input IO pins in RS232.

QQQ is safe to let people send whatever information they need to send or see.
QQQ is a reliable safe extra feature to use in our GPS Data Radios.

For Safety, some systems used Alert Buttons, and Status Information as send as IO status for your system to see these Safe items.
