ELCOM (Vehicle Network Communications Layer)

The ELCOM is a multifunctional layer that supports three dedicated CAN vehicle bus
sources, one generic vehicle bus module interface and a GPS communications port.
The ELCOM layer supports up to 254 vehicle bus channels per input. The layer
comes with many predefined databases such as J1939. The GPS communications
port is designed to work with Somat GPS devices.

ELDIO Available Inputs and Outputs

The digital I/O channels are grouped into one bank (A) containing three connectors of
four digital I/O channels (i.e., bits). The eight channels on connectors |1-4| and |5-8|
are individually configurable to be either inputs or outputs. The four channels on
connector |9-12| are dedicated wide-range input channels. Each connector also
provides two pulse counter channels for a total of six pulse counter channels per bank.
One layer also supports up to two independent vehicle bus module interfaces and an
optional GPS receiver, which appear as separate entries in the TCE hardware setup
window. For more information on the GPS modules, see
