Calling all OEM's and Machine Builders - The new Micro800 SMS Plug-in Module

The ProSoft Technology SMS Plug-in Module adds bi-directional SMS text messaging capability to the Allen-Bradley Micro830 family of controllers.

Operating over the GSM mobile network, the plug-in module provides a cost-effective and secure method for OEMs to add remote communication features using mobile phones as the user interface to their machines and systems.

Features	Benefits

As the module uses SMS, there is no need for costly mobile data plans. The SMS Plug-in snaps into an open slot in the front of the Micro830 controller. The controller provides power and all communications are over the backplane.

The front mounted coax connector allows for either a direct-mounted antenna or externally mounted antenna (installed outside the panel or cabinet for better mobile reception). Antennas are not included and must be ordered separately.

The SMS plug-in is activated by installing a standard GSM SMS SIM card (contact your local GSM phone provider for plan options and costs). After activation it will connect to the local provider tower and enable bi-directional text messaging between the controller and remote mobile phones.
