CRD880-CAM-FULL Vehicle Docking Station for MDT880
Extended vehicle docking station for the MDT880 8-inch 5G rugged tablet. Combines GPIO control, dual RS232/RS485 serial channels, 4-channel AHD camera input, and Gigabit Ethernet in a single cradle. Designed for fleets that require simultaneous vehicle data capture, multi-camera recording, and peripheral control from one mounted tablet.
The CRD880-CAM-FULL is available in two configurations — TYPE-A and TYPE-B — that differ in CAN Bus channels and GPIO count. Both versions share the same physical dock, the same pogo-pin tablet interface, the same camera and Ethernet capability, and the same RS232/RS485 serial architecture configured at the motherboard level (RS232 by default; RS485 available on request and configured before shipment, with additional lead time). The difference is in the CAN Bus channel count and GPIO allocation.
CRD880-CAM-FULL (TYPE-A) Cradle with 1× CAN Bus, GPIO, and 4-Channel Camera
Provides one dedicated RS232 channel plus one RS232/RS485 channel configured at the motherboard level (RS232 by default; RS485 available on request and configured before shipment, with additional lead time), 4× GPIO (2 Input / 1 Output / 1 ADC), and 1× CAN Bus. Suitable for deployments requiring a single CAN channel, moderate GPIO, and flexible serial configuration.
Interface Summary
CRD880-CAM-FULL (TYPE-B) Cradle with 2× CAN Bus, GPIO, and 4-Channel Camera
Provides one dedicated RS232 channel plus one configurable RS232/RS485 channel, 5× GPIO (3 Input / 1 Output / 1 ADC), and 2× CAN Bus. Built on the same physical cradle as TYPE-A, with the CAB-BMW-CAN cable assembly to add dual CAN channels and the fifth GPIO. Suitable for deployments requiring J1939 dual-bus access, additional GPIO, and multi-camera recording.
Interface Summary
How to Choose Between TYPE-A and TYPE-B
Select TYPE-A if your deployment requires 1× CAN Bus and 4× GPIO (2 Input / 1 Output / 1 ADC), with one dedicated RS232 channel plus one configurable RS232/RS485 channel (RS232 by default). Select TYPE-B if you need 2× CAN Bus and 5× GPIO (3 Input / 1 Output / 1 ADC) with the same serial architecture — ideal for J1939 dual-bus applications, vehicles requiring additional GPIO, or deployments that may need a second CAN channel later.
EXT-USB-CAN-01 — USB to CAN Bus Adapter Cable
Adds CAN Bus capability to any MDT880 docking station equipped with a USB-A OTG port. One adapter cable supports up to 2 CAN Bus channels, enabling hardware-level vehicle network access without replacing the existing cradle — ideal for retrofit deployments, pilot fleets, or vehicles that require CAN data only in specific configurations.
Key Specifications
Note: Connects to the dock cable's USB-A OTG port and presents a CAN Bus interface to the Android OS through the standard SocketCAN driver stack. CAN Bus termination and baud rate configuration are handled at the software level.
