2.1 Range of application
The Alarm Modem IE-GPRS-I/O is designed to collect messages in
industrial plants and building installations. The messages are detected
as activated switching contacts and analog limit values. Via a serial
protocol, the higher-level plant or system may either receive data or
control the data traffic itself.
The communication with the server is performed over a virtual
dedicated line via GPRS as a point-to-point, multipoint or multi-drop
connection. An Internet exchange server may log the states of the
inputs and outputs permanently on the basis of event or time control.
The server constitutes a relational database, i.e. external access is
possible via SQL queries.
The exchange server is a service provided by Weidmüller.
The configurable alarms are issued via SMS, e-mail, voice messaging
and/or fax.
The IE-GPRS-I/O implements telecontrol by remote-switching of the
outputs via telephone/mobile telephone.
The IE-GPRS-I/O can be teleserviced and remote-configured.
Any errors in configuration, in the execution of any work or
operations, as well as inadvertent false operation may impair the
proper functioning of the IE-GPRS-I/O, resulting in personal injury,
or material or environmental damage. Therefore, only sufficiently
qualified personnel are allowed to operate the IE-GPRS-I/O.
Always observe the safety notes!
The IE-GPRS-I/O is intended exclusively for use in machines complying
with the scope of application of DIN EN 60204-1:1998-11 (Electrical
Equipment of Machines).
