Process data transmission via GSM/GPRS with PLICSMOBILE

VEGA Grieshaber KG has introduced a new component for wireless communication: PLICSMOBILE.

The transmitting and receiving unit PLICSMOBILE is equipped with a standard SIM card and sends the measured values via GSM-GPRS service. With this module, remote diagnosis and teleservice can also be carried out worldwide over the public telephone network. PLICSMOBILE can be integrated into the double chamber housings of the plicsplus series or separately connected to any plicsplus or plics sensor.

PLICSMOBILE has an integrated energy management system at its disposal and the module operates in an autonomous standby mode. Data transmission is time or event driven, depending on the setting.

The power supply for the connected sensor is provided via the PLICSMOBILE. The low operating voltage enables supply for both module and sensor via an integrated accumulator or a separate battery. In detached operation, the module can be independently powered by an external power supply.

The adjustment of PLICSMOBILE is carried out via the PC with PACTware and DTM. This allows comprehensive, remote access to sensors with HART, Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus interface.

Areas of use for PLICSMOBILE are applications in which one single measurement takes place at a remote location. Examples of this are mobile silos, deep wells, high containers, waste oil gathering points as well as river and sea levels. The data can be passed on to the Internet portal WEB-VV or made available per e-mail or SMS.

PLICSMOBILE from VEGA stands for simplified installation and great flexibility in operation, parameter adjustment and diagnosis from a distance.
