.2 Principle of operation

The PLICSMOBILE is a GSM/GPRS radio unit for

transmission of measured values and for remote parameter adjust-
ment of plics

®

sensors. Due to the large operating voltage range and

the integrated power saving functions, a mains-independent power
supply via battery or solar cells is possible. Typical applications are
measured value transmission from mobile vessels, battery-operated
level measurement and deep well measurement.

The measured value and message transmission can be

optionally carried out via e-mail or SMS. Furthermore the measured
values can be transitted via http to the visualisation software WEB-VV.
The use of the PLICSMOBILE is particularly suitable for inventory
management, VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) and remote enquiry.

The internal radio unit PLICSMOBILE is

integrated in the second housing chamber of a plics

®

sensor. The

measured value recorded by the sensor is transferred via the I²C
interface to the PLICSMOBILE.

The transmission of measured values, event messages and diagnosis
information to the user is carried out via the GSM/GPRS network.
Thanks to quadband technology, the device can be used virtually
anywhere in the world. There is also the option of accessing the
connected sensor via remote parameter adjustment.

The voltage supply is provided via a standard low voltage (external
power supply unit/battery/accumulator). You can find detailed speci-
fications in chapters "Connecting to power supply" and "Technical
data
".

If desired, PLICSMOBILE can also power the sensor electronics.
