I'm trying to record when each broom is operating on a 2024 Bucher V65T road sweeper, alongside its location in MyGeotab.
I've connected a Geotab GO RUGGED to the sweeper's diagnostic port, but it provides few useful measurements for this purpose. The broom controls appear to be CANBus-controlled; rotation is hydraulic, with pneumatic functions for some broom movements.
I'm considering an IOX-AUXM, but need a suitable discrete on/off signal for each broom. Has anyone installed Geotab on a Bucher V65T or similar V-series sweeper? I'm particularly interested in whether the controller or valve system has accessible broom status outputs, or whether Bucher Connect can report separate broom activity.
I'm looking for an existing OEM signal or telematics data source; adding exposed proximity sensors is not preferred. Any wiring, measurement names, or installation experience would be appreciated.
