XCGSM allows remote monitoring of Red Lion devices
A
Red Lion Controls product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 23, 2009
Red Lion Controls has introduced the XCGSM GSM Cellular Modem expansion card for its Data Station Plus and Modular Controller series of data-acquisition products.
With the XCGSM, cellular connectivity is enabled for a range of remote and mobile data-management applications - without the use of external third-party modems.
Improving upon the already advanced communications and data solutions provided by the Data Station Plus and Modular Controller series, the XCGSM modem card allows for complete system integration and control from cellular and web devices.
Jesse Benefiel, product manager for Red Lion, said: 'The XCGSM expansion card allows users to connect with their real-time production data via cell phone and email, increasing the already advanced communications of the Data Station Plus and Modular Controller series.
'With the built-in web server, users can remotely monitor and control their processes - giving them hands-on access to their operations from virtually anywhere.
'Red Lion Data Stations or Modular Controllers equipped with an XCGSM card can send early warnings of process failures via text messaging and email, affording users faster reactions to alarm states and potentially preventing significant damage to products and equipment.'.
