Industrial GPRS/GSM modem for wireless data acquisition

The worldwide-available mobile telephone network in conjunction with inexpensive internet technology is now available for distributed process data acquisition with the GPRS/GSM modem by Phoenix Contact.


Apart from the demand-oriented GSM dial-up connection for classic machine- and system remote maintenance, the device also facilitates the structuring of cost-effective TCP/IP-based GPRS connections. This is particularly recommended when data must be acquired continuously, since GPRS is billed according to the data volume and not according to the connection period.

The IP connection is automatically resumed by the modem at power up or after dialing via a GSM dial-up connection. The process data is available at any location via a secure VPN connection, regardless of the location of the system or control unit.

The device has a fully integrated TCP/IP stack, so that even simple control units with serial communication ports can be connected to the modem without requiring special driver implementations.

Two integrated switching inputs are furthermore especially helpful for remote system monitoring. They facilitate the automatic sending of alarm messages via SMS or email. The universal application is completed by an extended temperature range of -25°C to 60°C as well as a supply voltage range from 10 to 30 V.

The industrial modem that is designed for the DIN-rail mounting, can be used worldwide due to the implemented GSM Quadband technology.
