1 Mitsubishi Industrial Modems at a glance
1.1 Mitsubishi Normal Modem GSM (MIM-G01)
The Mitsubishi Normal Modem GSM is a generic modem for industrial usage, e.g. for remote
maintenance of PLCs. It needs a SIM card and logs on the mobile network like mobile phone.
The Mitsubishi controller Alpha XL can - using this modem and a special functional block – sent
the content of the text display as an SMS or e-mail. This modem has no memory for user data nor
any automatic functions. It may be used for remotely accessing and maintaining the PLC, too.
This manual describes mounting and installation of this modem.
1.2 Mitsubishi Super Modem 56k (MIM-A01)
The Mitsubishi Super Modem 56K for analogue fixed network 11Bit-Industrial-Modem is an
industrial modem with a little memory for user data, providing - besides generic modem func-
tions - the capability to transmit text messages over fixed network controlled by AT command.

2 Equipment Versions
2.1 Modem Typ
The Mitsubishi Normal Modem GSM requires, like any conventional modem, a software in the
PC like a program for dial-up connection or for tje sending and receiving of fax messages. A
Mitsubishi Super Modem however sends all data by using simple AT commands. No additionally
software is required in this case.
2.2 Teleservice via PC
A Mitsubishi Industrial Modem (MIM-A01, MIM-G01) can be used to handle the remote mainte-
nance of several controllers via a telephone line or via the Internet. Program up-
and download may be carried out via the Mitsubishi programming software (e.g.
GX IEC Developer), while the connection therefore may be established via the
Mitsubishi programming software

3 Mounting and Installation
3.1 Normal Modem GSM (MIM-G01)
The MIM-G01 is a GSM/GPRS mobile modem intended for transmission of data, SMS, e-mail
and fax messages within the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz GSM mobile networks and complies to the
high speed standard of GPRS Class 10. It is suitable for DIN-Rail mounting inside control boxes.
3.1.1 Interfaces and Connectors
NOTE For connecting the modem to a PC, a 1:1 serial standard cable is to be used. For information
to connect a PLC, refer to the PLC documentation.

3.1.2 Meaning of the LEDs
The MIM-G01 presents two LEDs, which indicate the devices current operating mode. After the
power supply has been switched on, a self test will be executed. The end of this test is indicated
by a acoustic signal (short beep). After the test, the device tries to make a connection to the GSM
network. The green LED will flash slowly when the log in was successful.

3.1.3 Connecting the GSM antenna
First of all find a suitable location for mounting the GSM antenna outside of the control cabinet.
Screw the antenna plug into the antenna socket on the front of the modem.
NOTES Standard GSM antennas with an FME plug can be used. The GSM antenna is not supplied
with the modem and can be ordered separately.
If the length of the antenna cable is not sufficient for your requirements you can use a suit-
able extension cable purchased as an accessory from a GSM outlet. Take into account the
attenuation of these cables that will reduce the antenna gain and observe the relevant speci-
fications of the manufacturer.
3.1.4 Inserting the SIM card
The SIM card of an mobile phone provider is necessary for the use of a GSM Modem.
To insert the SIM card in the modem, open the SIM card holder on the Mitsubishi Alarm Modem
by pressing the small button on the right of the holder with a pen or a pointed object.
You can now carefully pull out the card holder and insert your SIM card. Then push the SIM card
holder back into the modem until it snaps into position.

NOTE If you plan to dial into your PLC via GSM, you will possibly need a SIM card and account with
data service enabled. However, in some cases the modem may be capable of accepting
data calls on a voice number after using the AT+CICB=0 command. For detailed information,
contact your mobile service provider.
EATTENTION:
The SIM card should only be removed when the modem is in power-off state.
The SIM card may become unusable if this warning is not observed.

3.2.3 Connection to the Telephone Network
Connection to telephone network (PSTN) is established via the included telephone cable and
the "Line" jack of the MAM.
To get access to your Mitsubishi Super Modem 56k, the telephone number of the connection
used must be known.
3.2.4 Testing the Telephone Connection
In order to check the telephone number of the connection used, plug an usual telephone into the
appropriate socket and dial the number by another telephone, or from a mobile. If the telephone
at the appropriate socket rings, the number is correct.
In order to check if the telephone connection supports the CLIP feature, dial from the appropriate
connection to another telephone. If the calling number is shown at the called party end, the CLIP
feature is supported.
If calls were successful in both directions, you can connect your Mitsubishi Super Modem. The
modem is now ready to be called and receive messages.
3.2.5 Telephone Exchange System
When connecting to a telephone exchange (PABX), take care if an outside line prefix is neces-
sary.
