The
Challenge for M2M
As Machine-to-Machine applications become more
wide-spread, the enabling technologies are being introduced to a far
more mainstream audience. For many companies however, the traditional
SCADA and telemetry solutions are either too complicated or expensive
to deploy. They need solutions that are effective, but which take into
account the reality of their resource limitations.
Experience the
COM1000
Designed by
experienced
networking and telecommunications engineers, the COM1000 provides you
with a single device that can be seamlessly integrated into LAN, WAN,
and WIRELESS projects. Its embedded applications provide quick and easy
means of connecting serial devices to IP networks, Internet enabling
legacy devices, or integrating remote devices with today's advanced 3G
wireless data networks. Its unique
blend of Serial and
TCP/IP communications, digital and
analog inputs, relays, and embedded applications combine to help
simplify application integration and elimintate many of today's
Machine-to-machine deployment
challenges.
Ready to deploy
Unlike other M2M oriented hardware, the COM1000 is not a hardware
development platform.
- There’s no SDK to purchase
- No scripting language to learn
- No software apps to compile
Just connect your sensor or serial device, select an application, and
you’re done. It's that simple!

Here
are just a few of the features
that the COM1000 has to offer:
|

Below
are some of the COM1000’s
many pre-compiled applications:
|
|
- (4)
Digital Inputs
- (1) Analog Input
- (1)
Relay Output
- Ethernet,
RS232, RS485 ports

Who uses the COM1000?
The COM1000
is perfect for those
situations that require a device that can handle analog and digital
inputs, energize or de-energize a RELAY, and even log data - but don't
need a full-blown PLC, RTU or alarm system. This makes it an ideal
choice for:
- SCADA/Telemetry/DA
System
- Public
Utility Systems
- Remote Data
Collection
- Solar System
Monitoring
The COM1000 is the
'bump-in-the-cord" that wireless integrators have been waiting for.
The
ability to connect to wireless modems while still providing I/O and the
ability to connect terminals or PCs makes it ideal for:
-
Network
Administrators
- Utilitiy Integrators
-
Taxi/Limo
Services
-
SCADA/Telemetry
ASPs
- Meter Data Collection
- Vehicle Diagnostics and
Control
- Wireless/Mobile Monitoring Solutions

How do the use it?
Use it
by itself…
As a stand alone device, the COM1000 can
perform a great many functions, such as:
-
Monitor
an analog input and have a single value or multiple set points trigger
the activation of a relay.
-
Monitor,
log, and count the changes of the (4) digital inputs.
-
Monitor
the (4) digital inputs for change in state and trigger the activation
of a relay connected to
an external switch.
-
Set
the
COM1000 scheduler to activate the relay every hour, every day, every
week, or even every month.
-
Connect
the ANALOG INPUT and RELAY, and you have a
perfect SOLAR BATTERY monitor.
-
Connect
a digital output from an electronic meter to the (4) DIGITAL INPUTS and
you have a turnkey data collection system.
Use it on
your LAN...
Connect
the COM1000 to your LAN and select from a number of options,
including:
-
Enable
serial tunneling between serial data devices
-
Encapsulate
serial data for transport over Ethernet using UDP or TCP
-
Initiate
TCP or UDP communications from any PC or device on the LAN or Internet
-
Log data
and FTP it as a
file to a file or web server
-
Send
email (SMTP) alerts based upon changes in DIGITAL INPUTS, ANALOG
VALUES, or SERIAL DATA STREAMS.
-
Alert
users using their desktop Instant Message (IM) application
-
Use the
embeded relay to power-cycle equipment via TCP, UDP, or
HTTP
Connect
your serial devices
Connect
your RTU, PLC,
or Data Logger to the
RS232 or RS485 ports and select from a number of options,
including:
-
Data Logging
-
Event Counter
-
UDP, TCP, FTP, SMTP, or data
transport
-
Telnet access to the RTU, PLC. or Logger (Data
Acquisition and Device
Server)
-
SMS Alerts to your cellphone
-
Instant Message (IM) access to determine health and
status of your device

Support
for AT Commands
To
facilitate the integration of the COM1000 with applications or devices
that do not use traditional SCADA or Telemetry protocols, the COM1000
also supports a set of AT Commands in a format similar to traditional
Hayes-compatible AT Commands. However, because the device is not a
modem, the similarities are modest. But anyone familiar with using AT
Commands will feel quite comfortable using the device in this manner.
