Convertor connects modems wirelessly
eDevice's BridgeD130 allows users to switch from PSTN to GPRS without any changes to their infrastructure.
This M2M industrial terminal handles all the communication protocols necessary to transfer information on a TCP/IP network and includes an FTP client, an e-mail client and a web server.
The server is entirely customisable and the terminal's software development kit (SDK) allows scripts to be created and embedded in an interpreted language.
A 16bit ATMega microprocessor manages the Modbus protocol and also allows specific C-coded client modules to be embedded in the terminal.
eDindus can be connected to any equipment through a wide range of hardware interfaces: RS232, RS422, RS485, analogue and digital input/output, dry switch etc.
The terminal may be used, for example, to connect an industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) and transport commands to enable periodic remote maintenance or to relay alarms.
The M2M terminals may be optionally interfaced with the M2M middleware IDeMS (hosted on the Internet), which handles archiving, analysis, and transmission of data for full pools of equipment.
Together with today's availability of GRPS and PSTN subscriptions, the eDindus terminal offers companies wishing to start an M2M implementation for their equipment an end-to-end turnkey solution.
eDevice will demonstrate the eDindus and other eDevice products at the CTIA Wireless 2006 trade show in Las Vegas, from 5th to 7th April 2006 on Booth 5317.
