• The TDC-E can be used to collect sensor data and sensor events. When functioning
in this capacity, it offers all the standard interfaces required to integrate sensors,
machines, and devices.
• Digital, analog, CAN bus-based, serial and Ethernet-based and other signals can be
processed and aggregated.
• These external sensor data are supplemented by data from the TDC-E’s factory-
installed movement, position, and temperature sensors.
• The TDC-E also allows for the connection of a GPS antenna.
• This can be used for outdoor localization.
• The TDC-E motion data is processed together with the received GPS data.
