1. SMS Relay Operating Instructions
1.1 Short description of the CMS Comat Message System SMS Relay
The Comat CMS-10 SMS relay is a remote control and messaging system. It has six inputs
which can be used as analogue or digital inputs and four outputs with change over contacts.
All the inputs can be monitored by SMS (Short Message System). At the same time, the
outputs are controlled and activated with SMS messages via a mobile telephone network*
(SIM card determines the provider).
The device’s own phone book saves up to 50 mobile phone numbers and names of message
receivers.
Each status change on one of the inputs sends a pre-defined message by SMS to the
assigned max. 5 different receivers. The receivers are processed cyclically one by one,
according to the selected sequence. The outputs can be switched ON and OFF with pre-
defined messages by SMS. In order to obtain an overview of the present status of all in- and
outputs and with that in generally of the condition of the entire installation, the input and
output status can also be questioned and retrieved by SMS. The relay outputs can be linked
to a „timer function“ and can be switched time dependant for a preset time.
With the password option, unauthorized remote access to the SMS Relay by a third party is
avoided.
The SMS relay sends out a message at regular intervals as for example in case of a power
loss, whereby the SMS relay is able to send a last warning message before it shuts down. If
the power is restored, the CMS-10 will announce its operational status again with a new
message. All input and output status can be attached to each message. All these options can
of course be made active or inactive as required.
The programming of the SMS Relay is carried out with the FAST SMS Set™ configuration
software provided together with the device. All the settings can be configured very easy and
without special knowledge of any programming language.
With the implemented remote maintenance tool there is a possibility to maintain the SMS
Relay and to modify the configuration over a GSM connection (requirements: GSM modem,
CMS-10F or CMS-10ADF, „FAST SMS Set™“ from version 3.0).
*GSM network: 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz (quad-band GSM module inside)

6.1 General
The SMS Relay is configured and prepared for use with the „FAST SMS Set™“configuration
software. The SMS Relay configuration (telephone book creation, message definitions,
default settings, etc.) can be done on a PC and saved in a respective file without connection
to the device. In order to do this, the software is started, a new or existing file opened and
edited. The saved file needs to be downloaded to the SMS Relay with the CMS-RS232
programming cable. In offline mode, the diagnostic functions are not active and can only be
accessed once the SMS Relay is connected with the RS232 serial interface cable to the PC.
With the implemented remote maintenance tool there is a possibility to maintain the SMS
Relay and to modify the configuration over a GSM connection (requirements: GSM modem,
CMS-10F, CMS-10ADF or CMS-10ACDF, FAST SMS SetTM from version 3.0). The
procedure to setup the remote access is explained in chapter 7.
6.2 Create connection
Cut off the power supply of the SMS Relay
Insert the SIM card
Connect the RS232 interface of your PC or Notebook with the SMS Relay programming
interface using the CMS-RS232 programming cable. If your PC or Notebook does not
have an RS232 interface connection then use a CMS-USB interface converter. With this
converter the programming cable can be directly connected to one of the computer’s
USB slots.
Connect power supply to the SMS Relay
As soon as the Status-LED of the SMS Relay flushes in a cycle off 1 second, the
software can be started.
Choose a saved file or create a new one.

6.4.2 Automatic provider search
The automatic provider selection depends on the SIM card inserted into the SMS Relay. The
provider details and access of the SIM card are adapted. Basically, the provider is
preassigned when the SIM card is purchased. With the „Automatic“ setting, the network
provider is automatically searched and logged. That is useful if the card is used in the home
network. Other GSM networks can be accessed abroad with the same SIM card according to
the roaming contracts.
6.4.3 Manual provider search
For manual provider searches, the available GSM networks are scanned several times. The
results of this search are displayed with a list of networks. A mouse click on „Search“
displays the available networks. The desired network can now be chosen.
The SMS service centre number can be taken from the SIM card documentation. Normally
this number is already saved on the SIM card. The number depends on the GSM provider. In
the „SMS Relay description“ field, a name for the SMS relay can be entered. All outgoing
messages from this SMS Relay are provided with this identification text. The available
number of characters for a message is reduced according to the number of characters
already used for the identification name. The actual number of available characters is
displayed.
6.4.4 SMS Relay identification
The SMS Relay can be described with a name or a description. All messages sent from this
SMS Relay receive the name as entered in the field “SMS Relay description”. The SMS
Relay identification can be deactivated so that the messages can be sent without this
identification (this function is only available in devices with firmware version FW > 5.0).
6.4.5 Activate remote access
The SMS Relay can be described with a name or a description. All messages sent from this
SMS Relay receive the name as entered in the field “SMS Relay description”.
Warning disable remote access
REMARK
The display of special characters in the GSM network can cause problems.
Please use only text characters and figures. The programming software
identifies special characters and an error messages will occur.
REMARK
Remote Access has to be set up by a conventional serial cable connection
(RS232) with a PC/notebook for the first time.
WARNING
The remote access can be deactivated in the remote access mode. After
deactivating the remote access, the device can not be reached and
configured over the mobile network anymore. Remote Access has to be set
up by a conventional serial cable connection (RS232) with a PC/notebook.

6.4.6 Enable local authentication
The local access can be protected by a password. The password is the same as for the
remote access.
6.5 Status messages
The receiver of the status messages can be chosen from the telephone book. In order to do
this click with the mouse pointer onto the expand arrow and select the required entry.
The SMS relay can send the following status messages:
Remote enquiry of all inputs and outputs
The device offers the possibility to interrogate all input and output states by SMS. A code
word is therefore sent by SMS to the device. The code word can be individually created.
The default code word is: ?#all
The answer is sent to the same phone number from which the correct code word was
received (phone number identification). The states of the inputs and outputs are displayed as
follows in the SMS message:
I:001001 Inputs 1 to 6 0 = OFF / 1 = ON
O:0101 Outputs 1 to 4 0 = OFF / 1 = ON
If there are inputs configured as analogue inputs, the SMS Relay sends the analogue value
including the selected unit after the status of all the digital inputs. The analogue inputs will be
substituted with “-“. In the following example, with the inputs I2 and I5 configured as
analogue inputs, the status message looks as follows:
I: 0-10-1 O:0101 21.2m3/h,126lt
I:0-10-1 Inputs 1 to 6 0 = OFF / 1 = ON / - = analogue
O:0101 Outputs 1 to 4 0 = OFF / 1 = ON
Attach Status of all inputs and outputs with each message
A status message of all inputs and outputs is attached to each message.

Messages in case of power failure
In case of voltage failure, the SMS relay sends a last message to the assigned receiver
No.1 to 5 of the status messages. The message contents can be edited.
Periodical message
The periodic message provides information of the device’s current status and is sent
periodically. The message can be sent daily (time), weekly (time, weekday) or monthly
(time, date). The message text can be edited. It is for checking functionality or operation
confirmation.
Trailing information
The trailing information of each message (date, time, remaining balance) can be
activated or deactivated in the field Trailing Message Info located under tab Settings.

6.6 Input configuration
6.6.1 General
The SMS Relay has 6 inputs. Depending of the device type, all this inputs can be used as
digital inputs only (CMS-10F/AC110-240V and CMS-10F/DC12-48V) or as digital /
analogue inputs (CMS-10ADF/DC12-48V and CMS-10ACDF/DC12-48V).
6.6.2 Digital inputs (CMS-10F/AC110-240V and CMS-10F/DC12-48V)
Each one of these inputs can activate an SMS message to a predefined telephone number
either in case of HIGH or LOW input signal (up to 5 various numbers).
Basically two events can trigger an SMS message: the change from LOW-to-HIGH and the
inverse, the change from HIGH-to-LOW. One or both events can be configured to activate a
message. A separate text message can be entered for each event. For details refer to
6.6.2.2 and 6.6.2.3
REMARK
The display of special characters in the GSM network can cause problems.
Please use only text characters and numbers. The programming software
identifies special characters and an error messages will occur.
REMARK
Please mind every input needs at least one phone number in his list. It
doesn’t matter if the input is connected or not or if the status messages are
set inactive. If the receiver field is empty, the software can’t save the file or
the file can’t be downloaded to the SMS Relay.

Comat SMS Relay
Operating instructions SMS Relay ba_smsrelay_1010_e
With confirmation function activated:
If the SMS Relay does not receive an acknowledgement SMS within a certain preset time
from the receiver, the event message will be sent to the next receiver. This means that the
device runs through the 5 allocated receiver numbers and restarts afterwards with the first
number again (The number of running loops can be pre-defined). As soon as the device
receives a confirmation from the receivers the process is stopped. If this is not the case, the
message will be sent to the next receiver (after expiry of the preset time).
If the confirmation is inactive, all receivers who are allocated to that event will receive a
message without repetition.
If the confirmation code word is not activated, the phone number identification is carried
out as a security check and it is sufficient to send an empty SMS message to the SMS Relay.
6.6.2.1 Parallel message handling
It may occur that the status of several inputs change at the same time or within the actual
running message cycle. Every input activates its individual message.
Every change of the input status, which triggers an event message, is processed in order of
the appearance. That means that all the messages for every input will be handled individual.
Several events at the same time can trigger different messages at the same time. Example:
The events “pump breakdown” and “over temperature” (two different inputs) appear at the
same time both events are processed individual and both messages will be sent one after
the other.
