Chameleon CTM-200™
for Industrial Use

The rugged CTM-200 supports industrial protocols (MODBUS, etc), and provides a consistent, always-on connection.

CAN port for integration with systems that
support CANbus

The CTM-200's integrated CAN interface allows for integration of industrial automation protocols such as DeviceNet, CANopen, etc.

Mechanically and electrically robust

Persistent connection/always on

Supports industrial protocols (MODBUS, etc)

RS-485 option

Advanced power management (ties into solar/battery powered applications)

Easily customized for various applications

Two Ethernet Ports

One Ethernet port is a LAN port and the other is a WAN port. This enables the gateway to be used as a “fail over” device where the WAN port is on a different subnet, or they can be both defined to be on the same subnet “switched” operation.

CAN Bus Port

CAN2.0B Bus Interface support for CAN enabled devices.

Real Time Clock

Maintain time synchronization for up to 36 hours when power has been removed from the device (120 second recharging time).

3-Axis Digital Accelerometer

Accelerometer that can be used for motion detection and hard brake/hard acceleration events.

Micro SD Memory Card Support

On board memory expansion for data logging and storage applications.

5.5 V to 36V continuous with surge protection

Wide input voltage range to support a variety of operating environments (no gateway reset during cold cranking).

User Replaceable Fuse

Easily accessible fuse for circuit protection.

Differential Inputs

Six inputs can be configured as analog or digital. Four of the inputs are single-ended and two are differential inputs with a dynamic range of 0-10 Volts or 4-20 mA (optional).

Locking I/O Terminals

Prevents accidental disconnects.

Output Power (5-36 V) via Terminal Block

Ability to supply power to externally connected accessories and devices.

64-256 MB of RAM

Sizeable application space to support current and future OS requirements.

GPS Monitoring

Low power GPS monitoring with on board Geofence.
