FMS Protocol Chip
Upon customer request ESS created in late 2005 the first FMS protocol chip of the world. The belgium customer designed a new telematics hardware and asked for better integration of our FMS know-how in his hardware.
CANgine-FMSIA is a protocol chip that brings CAN/FMS data directly into customers hardware without the requirement to learn details about CAN or the FMS protocol.

The chip can easily be integrated in own hardware designs due to detailed design recommendations by ESS. Only about 25x22 mm² of board space is needed.

The FMSIA protocol chip firmware behaves like the standard CANgine-FMS. It supports the FMS protocol defined for trucks as well as the Bus FMS standard.
