Introduction
This manual contains technical documentation which allows for easy installation and use of the
M2M Control C660 unit. For information on the programming and software configuration of the
M2M Control C660 please refer to the M2M CONTROL IDE documentation.
The M2M Control C660 adds a new chapter to the highly successful era of the C6xx series offering
a wide range of new features and performance improvements while still resting on the proven
track record and confidence of the M2M Control C600 series.
The M2M Control C660 uses the next generation NX32 execution model, and is fully backward
compatible with the X32 execution model of the former C6xx series. Existing software will
therefore be able to operate without any changes or costly re-testing. Mechanically and electrically
the C660 is fully back-ward compatible with the C600 and constitutes therefore a direct plug-in
replacement.
The M2M Control C660 has been designed from the ground up for professional telemetry /
telematics applications and has been designed according to the highest technical standards for
professional automotive and industrial use. The product has all necessary regulatory approvals –
including 2004/104/EC / UN ECE R10 – edition 3 and CE mark.
The advanced power-management features on the M2M Control C660 combined with the on-
board high-capacity Li-Ion battery allows the unit to stay in power-saving mode for a longer
period of time still being connected to the GSM network and capable of waking up on for example
GSM activity, change of digital inputs or a vibration sensor.
For demanding applications the M2M Control C660 offers a 4G LTE Cat.1 cellular communication
with fallback to 3G and 2G. The positioning is enhanced with a state-of-the-art GNSS receiver with
GPS and GLONASS support.
The M2M Control C660 rests on the
M2M CONTROL Professional Series RTCU Platform
which
brings all the necessary tools together to develop, implement and maintain today’s sophisticated
M2M/IoT applications.
The term “
RTCU”
stands for

nit and constitutes a unique combination
of a programmable control-unit with the possibility of both digital- and analog I/O plus a GSM
modem.
The development task is supported by the
M2M CONTROL IDE development environment
,
complimented by a large and comprehensive documentation and application example library.
M2M Control GPRS Gateway
is the corner stone of the communication infrastructure and ensures
reliable two-way device communication in any network environment.
Deploying and maintaining new application and firmware versions for devices in the field is
handled by the powerful
M2M Control Upgrade & Deployment Server
.
