Industrial modem for worldwide data connections

July 2003 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers Fire & Safety Security Services & Risk Management

The new PSI-Data/Fax-Modem/RS232 modem from Phoenix Contact provides worldwide access to machines and installations for remote data capture, remote diagnostics, remote maintenance and program downloads. Thanks to high-grade three-way isolation, this rail-mounting device is well suited to the tough requirements of industrial remote maintenance. It enables dedicated line and dial-up line connections according to the international V.34 standard.

Comprehensive security features including programmable selective call answering, password-protected dial-up and a callback function to prevent unauthorised access.

The configurable warning and fault input is particularly useful for remote installation monitoring. If the input is activated, the modem will select any predefined telephone number and send a stored text-based message as a fax or text message (SMS). The integrated automatic sleep function to save battery life and the wide range power supply from 10 to 60 V complete the modem's universal applicability. Plug and play and user-friendly configuration software ensure simple setup.
