Overview
ISO 16844-2:2022 is an international standard specifying the recording unit communication interface for tachograph systems installed in road vehicles. This third edition update focuses exclusively on the electrical interfaces of the data and service connectors used by digital tachographs, excluding the electrical interfaces associated with CAN-based in-vehicle networks. It serves as a critical guideline for manufacturers and developers to ensure consistent, reliable communication between a vehicle’s recording equipment and external interfaces, facilitating proper data access and control.
The digital tachograph captures detailed data on driver activities and vehicle operations, providing valuable information to drivers, transport companies, authorities, and workshops. ISO 16844-2:2022 defines connector specifications, electrical requirements, and signal characteristics fundamental to the interface’s functionality.
Key Topics
Connector Standards
The recording equipment connector must comply with ISO 16844-1, ensuring compatibility across tachograph systems. The connector is divided into two parts:- Part A: Used for power supply and CAN connection, with electrical details harmonized with ISO 16844-4.
- Part B: Handles tachograph to motion sensor electrical connections with specific voltage, pulse, and frequency parameters.
Electrical Requirements
Precise voltage levels, current values, and signal characteristics are specified for various pins on the Part B connector. These include:- Positive and negative power supply pins.
- Speed signal and real-time data pins.
- Speed pulse output with defined pulse durations and frequencies.
- Optional distance signal output providing pulses representing movement increments.
Signal Timing and Circuitry
Detailed timing diagrams and circuit schematics demonstrate signal delays, jitter allowances, and pulse output behavior to standardize communication reliability. Relationships between vehicle speed, tachograph constant, and pulse timing are defined with formulae ensuring consistent data interpretation.Scope Exclusions
This standard does not address electrical interfaces linked directly to CAN-based networks inside vehicles, which are covered in other parts of the ISO 16844 series.
