Industrial GSM/GPRS modem

MOXA has launched a new Isolated Quad Band OnCell G2150I Industrial GSM/GPRS modem. The device comes equipped with isolated RS-232 or RS-422/485 interfaces, making it ideal for building a remote cabinet or remote telemetry application in harsh environments. It is designed especially for demanding industrial-grade applications such as ITS, information display panels, automatic meter reading and environmental monitoring systems which can benefit from a cellular wireless infrastructure.

97 Moxa has launched a new Isolated Quad Band OnCell G2150I Industrial GSM/GPRS modem. The device comes equipped with isolated RS-232 or RS-422/485 interfaces, making it ideal for building a remote cabinet or remote telemetry application in harsh environments. It is designed especially for demanding industrial-grade applications such as ITS, information display panels, automatic meter reading and environmental monitoring systems which can benefit from a cellular wireless infrastructure.

The OnCell G2150I transmits data and short messages (SMS) over GSM/GPRS mobile networks. It can be used to improve the efficiency of maintenance and communication, independent of operating skill. It has a 12 to 48V DC power input, allowing different types of field power sources to be attached. The serial ports are also protected by 2.5KV isolation, so the system is safe from ground loop currents.

    David Crawford looks how workzone safety can be ‘economically viable’. Highway maintenance is one of the most dangerous construction industry occupations in Europe. Research from The Netherlands on fatal crashes indicates that the risk facing road workzone operatives is ‘significantly higher’ than that for the general construction workforce. A survey carried out by the Highways Agency, which runs the UK’s motorway and trunk road network, has suggested that 20% of road workers have suffered injuries from pa

    David Crawford reviews developments in temporary ITS. Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.

    Houston Radar has released its low power side-fire radar, SpeedLane. It has been designed with the intention of detecting lane, speed and class of individual vehicles and compute per-lane volume, occupancy, gap, average speed, 85th percentile and headway parameters. The device can be mounted on the side of the road for traffic data collection and works in all weather and lighting conditions. Additionally, it measures all vehicles in eight user defined lanes and all traffic measurements are on per-vehicle
