The two digital outputs which can be set/reset by sending text messages can be used to start plant or inhibit a machine.
The unit is both powerful and flexible and Powelectrics can offer bespoke solutions if required, for example to perform special functions, such as including service timers to warn when a service is due.
This type of application can be accommodated quickly and easily with the Pocket GSM.
Applications for the IN4MA include remote machinery monitoring, PLC communications, GSM modem type application, tank level monitoring, condition monitoring and much more.
The IN4MA range is both extensive and flexible.
Solutions are available with onboard data logging.
Data can be displayed on a computer or on the Internet giving even more flexibility.
