AutoLog® GSM-20
Flagship GSM-RTU · External GSM/GPRS modem · I²C expansion
The largest GSM-RTU in the family. On-board: eight digital inputs (max 24 with AI2DI), eight digital outputs, eight freely-selectable analog inputs and two analog outputs. Expandable via two I²C buses with up to five expansion cards — reaching 72 AI / 34 AO / 72 DI / 72 DO. Two serial ports — RS485 and Ethernet available as plug-in modules. Communicates via SMS, GPRS, Modbus RTU master/slave or Modbus TCP. Connects to AutoLog® Wireless I/O & Sensors and any AutoLog® HMI. Programmed in AutoLog GsmProgrammer with 512 programming lines, built-in PID controllers, FTP data logging and advanced SMS generation.
