The DS540B is the “B” version in the DS540 series, positioned as a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker built for real-time tracking of vehicles and cargo. Designed for demanding vehicle applications, the DS540B delivers deep on-board telemetry through full CAN/FMS/J1939/J1708 bus reading and supports analogue and digital sensor integration. That combination makes it an efficient GPS tracker for operators who need precise location plus rich vehicle data streamed into Plaspy for fleet management and anti-theft workflows.
Engineered for passenger cars, trucks, buses, construction equipment, agriculture, and high-value transport, the DS540B provides 1-wire temperature sensor support and digital outputs for remote control. When paired with Plaspy, the device turns raw vehicle signals into actionable alerts, historical reports, and real-time dashboards to improve utilization, reduce theft risk, and enable fuel monitoring and telemetry-led maintenance.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker optimized for vehicle and cargo real-time tracking and telemetry delivery.
- Full CAN/FMS/J1939/J1708 bus reading — access fuel, RPM, engine load, OEM alarms/locks, and other vehicle metrics.
- Analogue and digital inputs to capture door, trunk, ignition and other discrete signals when wired.
- 1-wire temperature sensor support for temperature-sensitive cargo monitoring and cold-chain use cases.
- Digital outputs provide remote control capability for actuators, door locks, or immobilizer integrations where supported.
- Suitable for diverse fleets: passenger vehicles, money-transport, construction machinery, buses, trucks, and agricultural equipment.
How It Works with Plaspy
The DS540B collects GNSS location together with in-vehicle telemetry from CAN/FMS/J1939/J1708 and local sensor inputs, and forwards that data to Plaspy for real-time tracking, alerts and reporting. Plaspy ingests the vehicle bus parameters and input/output events, normalizes them and exposes dashboards, geofencing alerts, trip history and scheduled reports for fleet managers and operations teams.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates — GPS tracker data appears in Plaspy dashboards for live monitoring.
- CAN bus parameters (fuel level, RPM, engine load, OEM alarms/locks) are parsed and presented as telemetry and fuel monitoring metrics.
- Analogue and digital inputs capture door/trunk/boot status, sensor thresholds and other discrete events for immediate alerts.
- 1-wire temperature sensors report cargo temperature to Plaspy for refrigeration monitoring and compliance reporting.
- Digital outputs enable remote control actions; these can be used to implement immobilizer or remote cut-off workflows where supported by the vehicle and integrator.

- Fuel monitoring and driver behavior: leverage CAN bus fuel and RPM telemetry with Plaspy reports to cut fuel costs and improve efficiency.
- Temperature-sensitive cargo: 1-wire temperature sensors transmit cargo temperature to Plaspy for compliant cold-chain monitoring.
- Door and alarm event monitoring: analogue/digital inputs capture door/open events and OEM alarm signals for instant notification and evidence logging.
- Heavy equipment and agriculture telematics: robust bus reading supports maintenance intervals, load monitoring and utilization tracking for construction and farm machinery.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
Choosing the DS540B as a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker gives fleet managers a reliable path from raw vehicle signals to actionable insights. Its ability to read full CAN/FMS/J1939/J1708 bus data means accurate fuel monitoring, RPM and load telemetry without additional gateways. The mix of analogue/digital inputs and digital outputs provides the flexibility to monitor ignition and door events and to trigger remote interventions such as immobilizer workflows where permitted. Combined with Plaspy’s real-time tracking, reporting and alerts, the DS540B helps reduce downtime, prevent theft, optimize fuel usage and centralize telematics for mixed fleets.
For operators who require Bluetooth sensors or specific cellular band support, verify those options with the manufacturer or reseller — the DS540B specification confirms 1-wire temperature sensors and vehicle bus integration as core strengths. When integrated with Plaspy, the DS540B becomes a high-value GPS tracker for modern fleet management, offering the telemetry, fuel monitoring and anti-theft tooling fleets need to operate efficiently and securely.
