Micro Automation Set 21: Wireless Data Communication based on GPRS
Wireless monitoring and controlling of distributed plants with SIMATIC S7-200
The Micro Automation Set is especially suitable for use geographically distributed plants. Simple automation tasks are solved using decentralized concepts. Operating states can be monitored and controlled by data transfer via mobile radio (GPRS) fast and cost-effectively, e.g.:
Pump stations in water distribution and waste water plants
Controlling and monitoring of street light systems
Monitoring of gas pipes
Irrigation sytems
Highlights
Economically realizing bidirectional data communication between all stations with SINAUT Micro SC.
The OPC server integrated in SINAUT Micro SC transparently provides all process data of the remote station; the general interrogation of the data can be realized by the central station.
All remote stations feature teleservice functionality for service purposes, messages are automatically transferred to the service staff by SMS.
Thanks to quad-band modem, GSM mobile service providers with GPRS network can be taken advantage of worldwide.
GPRS and Internet secure short transmission times, are always online and only the transferred data volume is charged.
By using standard Micro Automation products, automation solutions offer flexibility to grow with ever increasing requirements.
