2 Simple Application Controllers

1. Communication Capabilities

The α2 Simple Application Controller has a wide range of communication capabilities that include remote programming, sending SMS messages to mobile telephones or e-mail accounts, and reading/writing data using a dedicated protocol. These powerful features bring a new era of information transfer possibilities to the simple application controllers.

Communication Capabilities 1

The maintenance personnel in case of machine error or emergency situations. Remote monitoring

through the AL-PCS/WIN-E software (version 2.00 onwards), hereafter referred to as VLS, can provide machine production and status updates as well as enable programming or parameter updates without the necessity of local access.

The Dedicated Protocol option gives the user the ability to transfer and monitor data from a peripheral device without the use of VLS software. Programmers familiar with C, C++, Visual Basic, or similar packages can write specialized communication programs.

Both standard and GSM modems can connect to the

The most powerful function is the ability to send SMS packets to e-mail accounts or mobile phones. The new functional block which strengthens the communication from external equipment was

added to The new functional blocks is "Short Message Receiving(SMR) "and" Call Detect (CD)."

"Short Message Receiving (SMR)" changes an output by the character string of a mail account. And "Call Detect (CD)" By GSM modem or an analog modem that supports"Calling Line Identification Presentation(CLIP)", an output is changed by call RING of a telephone. This functionality enables messages to be sent from remote locations to maintenance personnel or the appropriate staff thus reducing downtime for machines and the necessity for on site

personnel at each location. The dard modem to provide remote program upload/download, to monitor devices, set Function Block parameters, or change the I/O status. Program upload/download can be performed remotely by a PC that is using VLS software.

2.2 The GSM/SMS Function Block

The GSM/SMS Function block is the trigger to send SMS messages. To enter or edit the GSM/ SMS parameters, double click on the icon to open the Short Message Service dialog box described in Section 2.2.2. When two or more Function Blocks are trying to send a message at the same time, the first to connect will send its SMS message. The other GSM/SMS FB(s) will be placed in “Wait” status. All the FBs will send their messages in turn.

Input signals will be ignored when the Output pin is On or the when the Function Block is in “Wait” status.

B) The Output Signal

The Output signal comes ON when the SMS message has been successfully sent or the final retry has taken place.

If the Input signal that began the operation remains ON, the Output will remain ON. If the Input signal turns OFF during the send operation, the Output signal will remain ON for one program scan after the send operation is complete and then turn OFF.

C) The Word Output

Check the status of the transmission by checking the Output Word data. The data can be checked in the program or by connecting the Output Word data to a Display FB.

After the Input Pin is turned OFF, the Word Output will also be reset to 0 when the communication is complete.

Note: The Word Value will display a hexadecimal number. Convert the hexadecimal number to

binary form to check the values against Table 2.5 Output Word Value parameters. It is possible that multiple bits will be ON simultaneously.

The status of the entire controller can be seen in the Diagnosis of Controller dialog box described in Chapter 4.

Note: Transmission of UCS2 encoded short messages to an email account is not necessarily sup-

ported for a SMS Gateway. In the event no support by the SMS Gateway, UCS2 encoded short messages cannot be sent to an email account and a fax machine. Please contact the used GSM network provider.

2.2.1 The Short Message Service (SMS)

The Short Message Service dialog box is used to choose whether to send the SMS message to a mobile phone or an e-mail address. If an e-mail message is chosen, the address is entered in the E-mail entry block at the bottom of the box.

the function block doesn't care an incoming short message.Input is ON when left open(not connected).When Reset and Input are ON at the same time, only Reset becomes active.

B) The Reset Signal

Resets the outputs when ON. Reset takes priority over Input and takes priority over a command in an incoming short message.Reset is OFF when not connected.

C) The Output Signal

The output is set ON, when the switch ON command is found in the received short message. The output is set OFF, when the switch OFF command is found in the short message. When Reset is ON, the bit output is reset (OFF).When Input is OFF the bit output value is hold.
