Coban - BN-311B Features

This page provides a public feature summary for the Coban BN-311B and how its capabilities are presented when used with Plaspy. It focuses on practical, non sensitive details about the tracker, what it reports, and the operational value it brings to motorcycle and small vehicle tracking workflows on the Plaspy platform.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation method, and manufacturer implementation. Verify device specific capabilities and the latest firmware behavior with Coban documentation when planning installations or critical workflows.

Feature Overview​

The BN-311B is a compact GSM GNSS terminal designed for concealed installation on motorcycles and small vehicles. It combines location reporting, alarm inputs, and a rechargeable backup battery to support real time tracking, anti theft workflows, and basic fleet telemetry when paired with Plaspy.

  • Real time GNSS location streaming for live mapping and route updates in Plaspy.
  • Multiple alarm types including ACC ignition, shock, movement, overspeed, low battery, and external power disconnect for event driven alerts.
  • Remote immobilizer support via remote fuel or power cut off for anti theft response.
  • Rechargeable backup battery to maintain reporting during external power loss.
  • TCP UDP and SMS reporting methods to deliver location and telemetry into Plaspy.
  • Compact form factor intended for concealed motorcycle and small vehicle installations.

Core Features of Coban - BN-311B​

  • GNSS positioning with high sensitivity and approximately five meter accuracy for reliable location data.
  • 2G GSM GPRS connectivity across common bands for wide network compatibility and flexible reporting.
  • Multiple alarm inputs and event detection including ACC ignition state, shock and movement events, overspeed, and geo fence alerts.
  • Remote fuel or power cut off capability to support immobilizer workflows.
  • Rechargeable backup battery to preserve tracking during power interruptions.
  • Intelligent reporting modes to reduce data use and conserve power when stationary.
  • Support for TCP UDP and SMS reporting to integrate with server platforms such as Plaspy.

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When connected, the BN-311B transmits GNSS positions and event notifications to Plaspy for mapping, alerts, and historical playback. Plaspy ingests the device data to provide operators with visibility and configurable notifications that match the tracker events.

  • Live location updates and historical route playback available in Plaspy dashboards and reports.
  • Alarm events such as ACC status changes, shock or movement alarms, and power disconnects can trigger Plaspy notifications and workflows.
  • Geo fence and overspeed alerts reported by the tracker are presented in Plaspy for perimeter and speed policy management.
  • Remote immobilizer actions reported by the unit can be reflected in Plaspy event logs and used in incident response processes.
  • Intelligent reporting modes from the tracker help Plaspy balance real time visibility with data efficiency and battery preservation.

Typical Use Cases​

  • Motorcycle fleet tracking with live location, route playback, and centralized monitoring.
  • Anti theft protection for individual vehicles using concealed installation, shock detection, and remote immobilizer control.
  • Remote monitoring of ignition state and external power for operational oversight.
  • Rental vehicle security where compact size and discreet installation are important.
  • Incident review and driver behavior analysis using historical routes and overspeed event logs.

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Feature behavior may differ by firmware version and manufacturer configuration. Confirm the installed firmware for exact capabilities.
  • Hardware revisions and regional variants can affect supported bands and interfaces. Verify the model variant before deployment.
  • Installation type and wiring choices influence which inputs and outputs are available for ACC detection and immobilizer control.
  • Some features require configuration on the tracker and within Plaspy to enable event reporting and notifications.
  • Consult the official Coban documentation for detailed installation, wiring diagrams, and command lists.

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the BN-311B with Plaspy brings compact, purpose built tracking hardware into a platform designed for live visibility, alerting, and historical analysis. Plaspy turns the tracker s location and event streams into actionable dashboards, configurable alerts, and reports that help operators respond to theft, monitor small vehicle fleets, and review incidents efficiently.
