Applications

Typical method of use (3 functions: C-L-V)

Protocol and interface conversion (Convert) - data is collected from input interfaces, converted and transmitted to output
interfaces, e.g. 3G/GPRS, external modules

Data logger (Log) - archiving and sharing data in a file format, database or with the use of external systems (SCADA or dedicated iModCloud)

ModBerry 500
Access via WWW (Visualize) - data is presented directly from the device or with dedicated cloud computing services (iModCloud)

Access via
External devices
web browser

I/O

Input/Output Data server
data e.g. SCADA

You can configure the device, so it performs Adapted to Industrial Conditions:

the following functions:
Low energy consumption
PLC
RTC Battery-powered Real Time Clock (RTC)
Telemetry module with data logger
Serial port server WatchDog function ensures hardware operation control
of selected services
Protocol and interface converter
Programmable controller Effective file systems used for FLASH memory,
ensuring long, failure-free operation
LTE/3G/GPRS/EDGE modem
MODBUS Gateway/Router Compact, durable housing made from ABS plastic
or aluminum, adapted to installation on a DIN bus
SNMP Agent
Web server with PHP and SQL database support Easy installation due to the use of disconnectable screw terminals
SMS Gateway No moving elements (fans, platter disks)
LTE/3G/GPRS router, NAT
Versions with extended operating temperature range: -25 ~ 80°C
E-mail server, FTP, SSH, VPN

Built-in LTE/3G/GPRS/EDGE*
Modem for data LTE/3G/GPRS data transmission and SMS support. iMod has unique hardware-software features providing connection efficiency and economy:

The device i equipped with Watchdog mechanism to ensure modem stability.

Pre-installed software for constant verification of LTE/3G/GPRS connection and GPRS reconnect function.

Multiplexing server provides 3 independent modem communication channels. Allows sending and receiving of SMS during LTE/3G/GPRS transmission.

You can use telemetry SIM cards with dynamic IP addresses due to the use of DynDNS. VPN or iModCloud technology allows use of cards with
non-public IP.
