1.1 Summary
SummarySummary
Summary
The GSM-PRO is a compact remote control and messaging system. All IOs are monitored by SMS and
email and controlled by SMS communication through the GSM network.
The module can be configured with the GSM-PRO PC-software. ach IO can be modified by user-
defined parameter names and messages. A selected group of users can be chosen from the
phonebook to control the module, or only receive messages.
GSM-PRO features:
•4 Digital Outputs (DO), relay CO contact 250V/5A
•8 Universal Inputs (UI) which can be set by software as:
-Analog Input (AI), 0..10V
-Digital Input (DI)
On each defined input status change (rising or falling flank for digital inputs or reached level for
analog inputs) the module sends a pre- or user-defined message to the selected group of users.
The outputs can be set when a selected user sends a pre- or user-defined SMS to the GSM-PRO.
The GSM-PRO sends a periodical message on user defined times. On power loss the module holds
enough power to send SMS messages to all selected GSM users (NO email). It also sends messages
when coming back from a power reset.
