Castel - IDD-213GL
The Castel IDD-213GL is an intelligent on board diagnostic device designed for both passenger and commercial vehicles. Its plug and play form factor reads diagnostic information from the vehicle ECU and captures location data for real time remote diagnostic and tracking purposes. The device is described as compatible with OBD II EOBD, J1939, and J1708 vehicle standards, and collects a combination of vehicle status, mileage, and driving behavior data while operating in a compact industrial enclosure.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the IDD-213GL can feed vehicle and diagnostic data into the Plaspy platform to support centralized fleet monitoring and reporting. The combination of location tracking and diagnostic readouts makes the unit useful where operators need both operational visibility and basic vehicle health metrics. Plaspy can consume the delivered data to display location, support alerts, and consolidate historical reporting for fleet oversight.
