7.9 GSM modem
Description
The SINUMERIK 828D can be equipped with a SINAUT MD720-3 GSM modem. This
optional hardware module makes it possible to exchange SMS messages with a cell phone
on the basis of the GSM standard.
In addition to error messages, it is also possible to transmit operating states such as the
machining processing level, tool wear limits or measuring process results. Using operating
screens, it is very easy to assign specific information to specific cell phones.
Please ensure that the antenna required for data transmission (supplied by the
manufacturer) is suitably located on the machine to achieve the best transmission/receiving
conditions. Connection to the SINUMERIK 828D uses an RS232 modem cable. Please note
that optimum transmission quality can only be guaranteed if the cable is no more than 3 m
long.
A SIM card is not included in the GSM modem scope of delivery. The users have to choose
their own cell phone contract.
Note
The SINAUT MD720-3 has two different operating modes. Only the terminal mode is used
with the SINUMERIK 828D.
Mounting
The SINAUT MD720-3 is intended for installation on DIN rails complying with DIN EN 50022.
There is a suitable fastener on the rear of the device.
