The DS520B is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for reliable vehicle and cargo monitoring. As the B-version in the DS520 series, it delivers GSM/GPRS real-time tracking and robust telemetry interfaces that integrate seamlessly with Plaspy for fleet management, anti-theft workflows, and operational reporting.
Whether you run a small fleet or manage mixed assets, the DS520B brings practical inputs and outputs—analog and digital I/O, digital outputs and remote circuit control—plus 1-wire temperature sensor support and non‑volatile data buffering to maintain continuity during network outages. Combine those capabilities with Plaspy’s dashboard and alerting to get actionable location, status, and telemetry insights.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker offering GSM/GPRS real-time tracking for vehicles and cargo.
- Analog and digital I/O for flexible telemetry: supports sensors and status inputs used in fleet management and fuel monitoring setups.
- 1-wire temperature sensor support to monitor refrigerated loads or engine compartments.
- Digital outputs and remote circuit control to enable remote immobilizer actions and anti-theft responses when integrated with Plaspy.
- Non-volatile memory buffers data locally during cellular outages so no location or telemetry events are lost.
- Designed for vehicle fitment: compact form and interfaces aimed at in-vehicle installation and fleet deployment.
- Enables telemetry and event reporting required by modern fleet management and maintenance workflows.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the DS520B transmits location and sensor information over GSM/GPRS to Plaspy’s servers for real-time tracking, alerting, and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests the device’s telemetry and I/O events and exposes them through configurable dashboards, geofencing rules, and automated notifications for operations and security teams.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GSM/GPRS to Plaspy for continuous tracking.
- Digital I/O reports can provide ignition, door, or alarm status when wired to appropriate vehicle circuits.
- Analog inputs enable fuel monitoring and other sensor-based telemetry when connected to compatible probes or senders.
- Digital outputs and remote circuit control allow Plaspy to trigger immobilizer actions or remotely control power circuits as part of anti-theft procedures.
- 1‑wire temperature sensor readings are forwarded to Plaspy for refrigerated cargo monitoring and temperature‑based alerts.

Use Cases
- Fleet anti-theft and immobilization: use Plaspy rules and the DS520B’s remote circuit control to stop or secure assets.
- Fuel management and telemetry: monitor fuel level and other analog sensor inputs to detect consumption patterns and anomalies.
- Refrigerated cargo monitoring: attach 1‑wire temperature sensors to track load temperature and trigger alerts if thresholds are exceeded.
- Engine/ignition and door event monitoring: digital inputs capture ignition or door status for driver behavior and security reporting.
- General vehicle & asset tracking: GPS tracker functionality combined with local buffering keeps location and event history intact during connectivity gaps.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The DS520B is a practical choice when you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that prioritizes reliable data capture and flexible integration. Its combination of analog/digital I/O, 1‑wire temperature support, and remote circuit control covers the most common telemetry and anti-theft requirements for fleet management. Non‑volatile buffering preserves data integrity during cellular outages, so Plaspy receives complete trip and event histories without gaps.
In operation, the DS520B lets you instrument vehicles for telemetry (fuel monitoring, temperature, ignition status) and tie that data into Plaspy’s real-time tracking, alerts, and reporting. This delivers dependable situational awareness for operations teams and trusted controls for theft response—helping reduce downtime, improve route efficiency, and protect assets.
Set Up DS520B
Use with a tracker
-
Set the Operator APN
