GSM remote telemetry

October 2001 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

The LOGI-CELL RTCU range of GSM remote telemetering and control units is achieving major acceptance and success in Europe.

The second largest electricity company in Denmark has chosen the RTCU/RMR for remote meter reading. This unit, made for the high volume market is encapsulated in a compact 150 x 150 x 57 mm box, provides four digital inputs, four relay outputs, four analog inputs, four analog outputs, and can communicate by voice or DTMF.

The RTCU/Mobile unit combines a GSM cellphone modem with GPS (global positioning system), in a very compact unit for mobile applications. This unit was chosen by the Norwegian company AutoTrap, in its innovative and advanced mobile tracking system.

Version 4 of the development system software is being released and adds a number of improvements and enhancements to the already powerful and easy to use development environment. The enhancements include:

* Remote programming of the RTCU units via the GSM or modem link.

* GPS support.

* Dramatic speed improvements.

* New remote access communication protocol allows communication to an RTCU unit from any environment/application.

The PC-based CellView scada program, developed by Westplex in South Africa is now available and can monitor and control remote RTCUs, communicating by SMS messages over a countrywide (or even worldwide) area. It includes remote control, telemetering and alarm handling. CellView features message protocols that guarantee the reliable transmission of SMS messages.

Westplex, which has an exclusive distributorship for these products in South Africa, is at present looking for suitable sub-distributors around the country.
