GSM-RTU / GSM-8

AutoLog® GSM-8 RTU.

Mid-range GSM-RTU with built-in GSM/GPRS modem. Steps up from the GSM-4 with on-board analog inputs and twice the digital output count. Up to eight digital inputs, two digital outputs, two relay outputs and two freely-configurable analog channels — 4..20 mA, Pt100, KTY10, NTC, voltage or RMS measurement, selectable per point. Programmed in AutoLog GsmProgrammer; communicates via SMS, GPRS, Modbus RTU/TCP. Made in Finland, verified operating range −30 to +70 °C.

AutoLog® GSM-8

Mid-range GSM-RTU · Built-in GSM/GPRS modem

Mid-range GSM-RTU combining standard PLC features with a built-in GSM/GPRS/SMS modem. Four digital inputs (max 8 with AI2DI module), two digital outputs, two relay outputs and zero-to-two analog inputs with freely-selectable plug-in modules per point. 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.
