2.1 Range of application

The Alarm Modem IE-GPRS-I/O is designed to collect messages in industrial plants and building installations. The messages are detected as activated switching contacts and analog limit values. Via a serial protocol, the higher-level plant or system may either receive data or control the data traffic itself.

The communication with the server is performed over a virtual dedicated line via GPRS as a point-to-point, multipoint or multi-drop connection. An Internet exchange server may log the states of the inputs and outputs permanently on the basis of event or time control. The server constitutes a relational database, i.e. external access is possible via SQL queries.

The exchange server is a service provided by Weidmüller.

DANGER

The configurable alarms are issued via SMS, e-mail, voice messaging and/or fax.

The IE-GPRS-I/O implements telecontrol by remote-switching of the outputs via telephone/mobile telephone.

The IE-GPRS-I/O can be teleserviced and remote-configured.

Any errors in configuration, in the execution of any work or operations, as well as inadvertent false operation may impair the proper functioning of the IE-GPRS-I/O, resulting in personal injury, or material or environmental damage. Therefore, only sufficiently qualified personnel are allowed to operate the IE-GPRS-I/O.

Description of Functions

3.4.3 The "Passive" mode

The "Passive" mode provides a data connection from a remote PC, via a modem and the IE-GPRS-I/O to a device connected to the serial interface of your IE-GPRS-I/O.

Procedure

• The PC calls the IE-GPRS-I/O via a modem.

• The IE-GPRS-I/O accepts the call and establishes a connection.

• On the basis of the first data sent by the PC, the IE-GPRS-I/O

decides whether the data are part of a remote configuration for the IE-GPRS-I/O or whether the data are intended for a downstream device.

• If the data are intended for a downstream device, they are passed

to the serial interface. All data sent by the downstream device to the serial interface are sent without changes to the remote computer via the modem connection.

3.4.4 The "Transparent" mode

In the "Transparent" mode, it is possible for the internal GSM/GPRS modem to be controlled by a downstream device.

• In this case, the establishing, cancellation and monitoring of the

connection must be controlled by the downstream device.

change the number later (also remotely).

• This number is transmitted where appropriate, e.g. in the fax

identification.

• Max. 30 characters

Station ID

• An identifier that identifies the station in question unambiguously.

• With some messaging services (fax, e-mail, voice), the identifier is

included in the message.

• Letters and digits can be entered, but only the digits are announced

in the voice message, i.e. if "abc12de345" is entered, for example, "12345" is announced.

• This field must not be left empty; if no identifier is needed, either

leave or re-enter 0000.

• Max. 16 characters.

4-40

Configuration

Quit Pin

• 4-digit sequence of digits which is used to acknowledge SMS and

voice messages. Acknowledgement must be enabled in the menu Messages with a þ , i.e. acknowledgement of the messages is imperative (see Section

• Only digits may be used.

in this case, only one key must be pressed.

• Always 4 digits.

SIM PIN

• 4-digit number which is supplied with your SIM card

• It is imperative to configure the SIM PIN if the SIM card requires a

PIN.

• If you have set your SIM card such that no PIN is required, 0000

must be entered to allow the device to log into the GSM network without SIM PIN.

• Make sure that you enter the correct SIM PIN; an incorrect PIN,

however, will not usually block your SIM card (max. 2 attempts are accepted to enter the PIN); but this cannot be guaranteed.

• If your SIM PIN is not properly configured, no message can be

triggered and thus no remote access to the device is possible.

• Older 5V SIM cards cannot be used.

• Always 4 digits.

Redialling

• Number of further attempts made by the device when a message is

to be sent if a target number cannot be reached or an error has occurred.

• 1 automatic redial means max. 2 attempts.

• If a message is sent as an SMS with receipt acknowledgement, the

number of automatic redials applies first for the SMS and then once more for the acknowledgement.

• The next recipient in the messaging chain is only processed after

the maximum number of automatic redials is reached.

• Automatic redialling may also occur if the message has reached the

recipient, but, for example, an error has occurred in the final phase of the message.

• 0 ... 9

If you wish a message to be triggered via an input, it is imperative that the appropriate input be set by ; .

Digital outputs

Switching time

• The digital outputs can be switched by events (see Section 4.6

Alarm Message) "Switch if" and Section 4.9 Function control "Switch if".

• Switching time in seconds for which the output remains closed after

an event has occurred and before it reopens automatically

4-46

ATTENTION

The switching time is not effective when switching the digital outputs remotely via telephone.

X-Rec

• Remote-switching by a digital input of another IE-GPRS-I/O in a

group of IE-GPRS-I/Os

• Two IE-GPRS-I/Os are included in a group.

; Connects the IE-GPRS-I/O as the receiving device of the group to the digital input of the sending IE-GPRS-I/O.

• In all cases, inputs and the outputs with the same number are

connected; linking is only possible for the digital inputs 1 … 4.

Digital outputs that are connected to another IE-GPRS-I/O via X-Rec must not be used for issuing messages (see Section 4.6 Alarm Message, "Switch if" and Section 4.9 Function control "Switch if".

Configuration

4.5 Analog inputs ("Analog I")

4-47

Configuration

Measured unit

• Selection of the analog measurement unit: Volt

Ampere Temperature

Measured value

• This field displays the measured value of the inputs.

• Clicking on the field refreshes the measured values of the two

analog inputs.

Factor

• It is possible to scale the measured value with a factor.

In this case, the calculation is performed as follows: (Factor ∗ measured value) + offset, i.e. the slope of the measurement characteristic is not changed so that the displayed measured value can be matched to the physical measurement quantity. Example: Assumed 0 … 10 V is to correspond to a water level of 0 … 100 cm, the factor to be set is 10.

Offset

• It is possible to shift the measured value using an offset.

In this case, the calculation is performed as follows: (Factor ∗ measured value) + offset, i.e. the zero of the measurement characteristic is offset.

Debouncing time

• The measured value must have been either higher or lower than

the appropriate limit value for at least the set debouncing time for a message to be triggered.

Display unit

• A unit, e.g. "V", which is inserted into the text block #AI1#, #AI2#,

together with the measured value.

• Max. 3 characters.

Upper limit value

• If the measured value exceeds the upper limit value, a message

can be triggered.

• Further messages can only be triggered if the measured value has

fallen below the lower limit value and has then again risen above the upper limit value.

Text for upper limit value

• A text that can be inserted into the message text using the text

block #VAL#; thus, it is possible to modify the message text

4-48

Configuration

• dynamically, depending on the particular event;

max. 16 characters.

Report

• If this field is checked, a message is triggered when the upper limit

value is exceeded.

Lower limit value

• If the measured value is lower than the lower limit value, a

message can be triggered.

• Further messages can only be triggered if the measured value has

risen above the upper limit value and has then again fallen below the lower limit value.

Text for lower limit value

• A text that can be inserted into the message text using the text

block #VAL#; thus, it is possible to modify the message text dynamically, depending on the particular event;

• Max. 16 characters.

Report

• If this field is checked, a message is triggered when the measured

value falls below the lower limit value.

Signalling when the measured value is lower/greater than a limit value

• If the measured value falls below the lower limit value or exceeds

the upper limit value, a message is triggered.

• Further messages can only be triggered after the measured value

has fallen below or exceeded the corresponding other limit value.

Change

Signals when a measured value changes.

• A message can be triggered if a measured value changes by a

certain amount.

• The appropriate change is specified as a percentage and refers to

the measuring range of the input, e.g. voltage 0 ... 10 V; 10 % corresponds to a change of 1 V.

NOTE

If a measured value is monitored for changes, the debouncing time is not considered, meaning that a message is triggered immediately if the measured value changes accordingly.

4-49

4.6 Alarm Message

Configuration

Input

• The following events can be selected to trigger a message:

REPORT An error has occurred, e.g. faulty login into the GPRS network DI1 ... DI4 Digital inputs 1 to 8 AI1 … AI2 Analog inputs 1 and 4 EI1 … EI16 Signal inputs, serial, via the TUP protocol

Text

• Enter the text you wish to be displayed in the message in the text

field, for example "Fault: Pump".

• The maximum length permitted, including all text blocks, is 160

characters.

• Longer texts will be truncated.

• The following text blocks can be used to create a message text

dynamically:

▫ #HEAD# Inserts the header (menu option "General").

▫ #DATE# Inserts the sending date of the message.

▫ #TIME# Inserts the sending time of the message.

4-50

Configuration

▫ #VAL# Inserts the text for the input belonging to the message,

depending on its value at the time when the message was triggered.

▫ #DI1# ... DI8# Inserts the text for the digital input belonging to the

message, depending on its value at the time when the message was triggered.

▫ #AI1# ... AI4# Inserts the measured value and its unit for the

analog input, depending on its value at the time when the message was triggered.

▫ #ATIME# Time when the message is triggered

▫ #ADATE# Date when the message is triggered

Message Target

• To configure the appropriate message sequence:

▫ 8 message targets can be defined per input.

▫ The message targets are contacted one after the other until a

message has been sent successfully; this makes sense, for example, with graduated standby services.

NOTE

• Enter the appropriate target mobile telephone number for short

messages (SMS).

• Enter the appropriate target e-mail address for e-mails, etc.

Service

• Select the appropriate transmission method,

e.g. D1 SMS = Send SMS via the D1 network / E-mail = Send e-

mail to the specified address, etc. ...

The messaging service must correspond to the target! For example, you cannot sent an SMS to an e-mail address.

; ACKN

• If acknowledgement is possible for this messaging service (menu

option "Messaging services"), this feature can be activated here.

; ALW

• Message targets that are always to be informed irrespective of the

message sequence.

4-51

Configuration

▫ The message targets form a message sequence.

The message sequence is interrupted if a target of this sequence was informed successfully, including acknowledgement.

▫ If a message target is to be informed in any case, irrespective of

its position in the message sequence, the message targets must be marked additionally with "ALW".

- Example: Shift schedule in a sequence of 3 and additionally a fax to the exchange centre, which is always to be sent. -

▫ Message targets that are marked with an "I" have no influence on

the message sequence, i.e. even if such a message target was informed successfully, the message sequence is not quit.

Weekday

• The relevant message is only sent on the marked days of the week;

thus, a simple shift schedule can be realised.

from - to

• The message is sent during the time "from - to".

NOTE

• If the time period passes midnight, the message is still sent even if

the second day of the week is not marked, for example, from = 07:00 p.m. to = 08:00 a.m. Mon Tue is marked. If the input is now triggered on Wednesday at 07:50 a.m., the message is sent even though Wed is not marked.

Switch if

• Here you can specify that one of the digital outputs can be

switched:

▫ If no message target was informed successfully.

▫ If one message target was informed successfully.

▫ If all message targets were informed successfully.

▫ Message targets marked with "ALW" are ignored.

Save your settings before switching to a different input!

• This server can be compared with the posting box used to send

conventional letters.

Authentication

• Most e-mail providers require an authentication to send e-mails via

an SMTP server.

• Selection:

▫ none

No authentication is required, or the authentication is provided via the senders and often via the recipient's e-mail address (see Section 4.6 Alarm Message).

In other words: Only e-mails with certain addresses can be sent.

▫ SMTP after POP

An authentication procedure which is supported by many e-mail providers.

Before sending an e-mail, the user must access his e-mail inbox (see below) using his password and his user name. Subsequently, he is left a defined time window of, for example, 15 minutes, within which he may send e-mails via SMTP. Thus, the successful POP authentication serves as an authentication for sending via SMTP.

▫ SMTP AUTH

An authentication method which is supported by many e-mail providers.

With a user name and password, a user is entitled, for example, to send e-mails via the above-specified SMTP server.

4-56

inputs.

4.8 ISP settings for the Internet access

The provider supported by the Weidmüller is Vodafone.

4-57

Configuration

An e-mail is always sent via the Internet. To this end, an Internet Service Provider must be configured through which access to the

Internet is possible from a mobile wireless device.

There are call-by-call providers allowing this access; furthermore, all mobile service providers offer their own Internet access (see your Mobile Service Agreement).

ISP1

Connection

• GPRS or GSM

• For functions that are permanently online, no GSM should be used

(excessive costs)

Provider

• Vodafone (the name for the provider can be selected freely)

• It should be visible whether GSM or GPRS is used.

• Max. 30 characters

Call number

• The number at which the provider is to be reached.

• Max. 50 characters.

Access Point

• Required for connection to the GPRS network.

4.13 Cost control

The IE-GPRS-I/O monitors the data volume for GPRS connections and the online time for GSM connections.

To this end, you must enter the specifications from your mobile subscriber agreement in the menu Cost control.

Rounding error

• Each time a connection is established to the GPRS network, the

provider debits a certain data volume from you at a flat rate. The amount of this value depends on the appropriate mobile subscriber agreement. It is recommended to use ALWAYS a tariff model with a rounding error as low as possible.

Limit value

• Byte counter

The following limit values can be set for two graduated report messages.

Example:

▫ If a volume tariff of 10 MB/month was agreed with the mobile

service provider, with byte counter1 = 5 MB, a report message is issued when half of this volume has been used, and with byte counter2 = 8 MB again at 80 %. The setting is made in the menu "Messages", see Section

• Online time

Due to technical reasons, the counter can only provide a rough overview (guide value) of the actually used volume.

4.14 Troubleshooting

4.15 Systemtime

Configuration

When the IE-GPRS-I/O starts an Internet connection (e.g. for sending an e-mail), it can match its system clock with a time server (SNTP server) on the Internet.

Summer time

• Summer/winter time is observed when setting the clock.

4-68

SNTP server

• IP address or host name of the time server

Default setting: Time server 1 of PTB in Braunschweig

• Time zone in which the IE-GPRS-I/O is located (Germany +1)

• If "Set clock" is set, the time match is performed when the Internet

connection is first established.

The internal clock is backed up for approx. 75 hours. If the IE-GPRS-I/O remains without operating voltage for longer, the clock must be reset via the time server.

Glossary

9 Glossary

This chapter provides a list of all abbreviations and special terms used in this Manual with their meanings.

• AT commands

The term 'AT commands' is used for the commands that were originally used by the company Hayes and thus have become quasi-standard for configuring and parameterising modems.

• DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most important services on the Internet. The DNS is a distributed database that manages the name space on the Internet. Generally, the DNS is used to convert names to addresses (forward lookup). This is comparable with a telephone book that resolves the names of the subscribers into their telephone numbers. For example, you can remember the domain name www.wikipedia.de very easily, whereas the related IP address 207.142.131.236 is not so easy to remember.

• DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An IEFT (Internet Engineering Task Force) protocol. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the function used by the DHCP client to fetch a TCP/IP address from a central computer (DHCP server). The DHCP server assigns the client this IP address from a defined address range dynamically. In other words: The client is always assigned a new, but unambiguous IP address so that DHCP can supply, for example, mobile PCs, with IP addresses.

• Download

Download is a technical term from the field of IT. During a download, the data are requested from a remote station (e.g. network computer, Internet) and transferred to the computer. The download is thus the opposite to the upload.

9-88

• Dynamic IP

IP address, is assigned to the client from a defined address range dynamically, e.g. via a DHCP server.

• Fixed IP

Fixed IP addresses are assigned statically to the client by the appropriate Internet provider.

• GSM

The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a fully digital mobile communication network standard that is used mainly for telephony, but also for line-switched and packet-switched data transfer and for short messages (SMS).

Glossary

• GPRS

GRPS is an extension of the GSM mobile telecommunication standard - a packet-oriented data transfer which - at least for advertising purposes - is often also called 2.5G (two point fifth generation). This naming is effectively a reference to UMTS (3G). Unlike than the line-switched data service HSCSD, GPRS is packet-oriented. In other words: While still at the sender, the data are converted into individual packets, transferred as such and recompiled with the recipient.

• IPCP

IP Control Protocol. A network control protocol that - among other services - serves for negotiating of a compression algorithm and for transfer of a dynamic IP address (RFC1332).

• ISP Internet Service Provider

• IP

The Internet Protocol (IP) (also called Internet protocol) is a network protocol widely used in computer networks. It is an (or indeed the) implementation of the Internet layer of the CP/IP model.

• LED Light Emitting Diode

9-89

• Private IP

Private IP addresses or private networks are IP addresses/subnets that can be used for any purpose and by everybody. However, they are not routed on the Internet.

• POP3

Address of the Internet service provider for fetching e-mails

• PPP

Point to Point Protocol. Universal point-to-point protocol that includes various forms of connection, a dynamic understanding on options, authentication functions and also functions for establishing and cancelling connections and their monitoring.

Glossary

ACKN

• SMS

Short Message Service (SMS) is a telecommunication service for the transferring of text messages which was originally developed for GSM mobile communication and is now also available in the wireline network. Further developments of SMS exist under the names Enhanced Message Service (EMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).

• SMTP

Address of the Internet service provider for sending e-mails

• SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol

9-90

• TCP

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a reliable, connectionoriented transfer protocol in computer networks. It is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. TCP provides a virtual channel between two computers (more exactly: the end points (sockets) of two applications on these computers). Data can be transferred on this channel in both directions. In the most cases, TCP is based on the IP protocol.

• UDP

The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a minimum network protocol without connection. It is part of the transport layer of the TCP/IP protocol family and is - in contrast to TCP - not designed for reliability. UDP has the main objective to extend the connection to the end system established by the IP layer by a user interface (ports). The quality of the underlying services, in particular, the reliability of the transfer, however, is not increased by the UDP.

Glossary

• Upload

Upload is a technical term from the field of IT. During an upload, data are transferred from a computer to a remote station (e.g. network computer, Internet). The upload is thus the opposite to the download.

• VPN

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a computer network that uses a public network (for example, the Internet) to transfer private data. Subscribers to a VPN can exchange data in the same way as in an internal LAN. The connection of the networks is provided by a tunnel between VPN client and VPN server. In the most cases, the tunnel is secured, but an unsecured clear-text tunnel is also a VPN. IP VPNs use the Internet for transferring IP packets independently of the transmission network, which - in contrast to direct remote access to an internal network (direct dialling, for example, via ISDN, GSM...) - provides significantly more flexibility and is more costeffective.
