New product release from INSYS icom

Based on the well established class leading range of MoRoS industrial routers the IMO-1 provides the following features; • Ethernet, serial and GPRS communications • Continuous monitoring of I/O on any digital control device e.g. PLC, HMI • An RJ11 connection to the Siemens logo controller • Alarm despatch via SMS and email with SMS receipt for controlling system variables and relay outputs. Despatch to multiple recipients and specific messages for selected recipients. • On-board I/O configurable for various functions • Monitoring and control of logo internal variables • Embedded web page for simple set up and diagnosis • All monitored values can be viewed in the embedded web interface Flexibility of application is enhanced by the Linux sandbox feature with 150 MB of permanent memory enabling users to develop their own proprietary applications for example data logging and analysis, protocol conversion and simple control tasks or select from one of our preconfigured applications. As a GPRS router IMO-1 provides transparent remote access to local control networks and serial devices, it is therefore capable of monitoring complete networks. It supports Open VPN, IPsec, PPTP and firewall. Full NAT (port forwarding and net mapping), DNS relay, DynDNS and DHCP client and server are all on board. When combined with the Connectivity Service the IMO-1 provides a simple secure and reliable remote connection all backed up by the INSYS icom FOC first class technical support service, this ensures the device will pay for itself time and time again. The INSYS icom Connectivity Service is a connection management facility that hugely simplifies and speeds up the set-up of secure VPN connections to remote assets, looking after the downloading and installation of all security keys and certificates and relieving users of the time and responsibility of managing VPN servers. Secure reliable connections are established in minutes not hours. We provide industrial data communications solutions for a diverse range of markets; Energy, Factory Automation, Transport, Building Management, Water Utility and others. ------------------- Remote Access, Downtime and Payback Each year OEM machine-builders can spend several thousands of pounds on expensive on-site intervention costs, including related travel expenses, in many cases to arrive on-site to find that a simple fix or parameter adjustment is all that was required. Similarly manufacturing industry can endure lost production while waiting for potentially unnecessary and costly engineers to visit sometimes once to identify the problem and a second visit to complete the repair. Remote access to control devices, industrial networks and process's will always achieve one of two benefits; firstly it will frequently preclude the need to travel at all or secondly if a visit proves to be necessary the fault will have already been identified and the engineer visits site complete with spares to perform the remedial action. In addition typical operations traditionally performed on site such as equipment maintenance programs, configuration and parameter changes or PLC programming can now be handled directly from the OEM's location or any other remote location. The simplest and lowest cost means of remote access remains simple industrial PSTN modems such as the INSYS icom 56K small or where telephone lines are not available then the GSM modem such as the INSYS icom GSM 4.3 provides a very effective alarming device. However with the advent of the internet and the migration of Ethernet onto the plant floor it is now possible to provide extremely secure and highly reliable remote access using any connection technology available; PSTN or ISDN telephone networks, LAN, ADSL and GPRS and HSPA mobile services. This now means engineers are able to fully access the entire functionality of a controller's software as if directly connected to the controller. The INSYS icom MoRoS range of industrial routers are a combination industrial data communication solution comprising a router with an integrated 4 or 5 port Ethernet switch and integrated modem to match all the above connection services. The full range is compatible with the INSYS icom Connectivity Service. The benefits of remote access are self-evident; manufacturers endure less down time resulting in increased output and to the OEM not only are potentially all unnecessary site visits eliminated but the provision of contract servicing is now viable as an extra revenue stream. INSYS icom is the brand name of Insys Microelectronics GmbH represented in the UK by Insys Microelectronics UK Ltd a wholly owned subsidiary. We are a designer, developer and manufacturer of industrial data communications products, our head office is located in Regensburg, Germany.
