GSM-RTU / GSM Modbus Gateway

AutoLog® GSM Modbus Gateway.

Compact PLC purpose-built for GSM communication. No on-board I/O — instead, the GSM-GW bridges any Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP equipment to GSM/GPRS/SMS, with an optional Wireless I/O & Sensor master on the second serial port. Ideal for retrofitting existing Modbus installations with remote-monitoring capability without replacing the underlying controllers. Same AutoLog GsmProgrammer environment as the rest of the family — 512 program lines, 32 built-in PID controllers, full SMS/GPRS/FTP support. Made in Finland, verified operating range −30 to +70 °C.

AutoLog® GSM Modbus Gateway

GSM ↔ Modbus bridge · Built-in GSM/GPRS modem · No on-board I/O

GSM-GW is a PLC designed exclusively for communication. It does not carry on-board digital or analog I/O; instead it acts as a programmable bridge between Modbus equipment and the GSM network. Built-in GSM/GPRS modem and driver. Two serial ports — serial port 1 for GSM modem / programming, serial port 2 for Modbus RTU master/slave or, with plug-in modules, RS485, Modbus TCP, or an AutoLog Wireless I/O & Sensor master. Same AutoLog GsmProgrammer programming environment as the rest of the GSM-RTU family — full PLC logic, 32 PID controllers, FTP data logging, advanced SMS generation.

Retrofit your Modbus installation

Want to bring remote monitoring to an existing Modbus site?

The GSM-GW lets you keep your existing PLC, meter or actuator network in place and add a GSM/GPRS/SMS uplink, optionally with Wireless I/O & Sensors and a cover HMI. Bulk OEM orders welcome — multi-year cooperation agreements are how we have shipped tens of thousands of units.
