ETM Pacific ETM9140 3G/4G AUS Intelligent Modem and SMS Alarm

ETM Pacific has released the ETM9140 3G/4G AUS Intelligent Modem and SMS Alarm. Combining a powerful microprocessor and built-in data logger with an industrial cellular wireless module, the product provides an alarm and monitoring or serial communications solution for demanding industrial applications.

The product provides 4G access, including 4GX compatibility with 700 MHz Band 28, but also has fallback to 3G. It has a phone book with five numbers and can send alarms via SMS or IP as well as receive commands and respond to status requests. It features customisable SMS commands and SMS alarm and control.

Logged data from the unit can include state, pulse counts and analog values. Data is sent in csv format to a nominated server and port by IP, from where it can be saved and or redirected by a server application. ETM Pacific can provide a complete logging solution with its ekoCALM service. Units for use on ekoCALM can be completely preconfigured by the company, so that all that is required on-site is to mount the unit, connect the antenna and plug in the power source.

With three inputs able to be pulse counters, five able to be analog inputs and all able to be digital inputs or outputs, plus low power consumption of less than 1 mW, the unit is suitable for remote applications where power is unavailable. It can be used with battery packs to provide up to two years’ continuous monitoring of parameters including temperature, pulse counts and pressure for pharmaceutical, infrastructure and mining applications.

The modem can be combined with ETM’s I/O board to allow for easy connection of 4–20 mA or 0–10 V sensors and/or output control via 0-30 V relays mounted on the I/O board.
