ModGSM III : GSM module for remote control
ModGSMIII module allows to receive information from the
Contatto bus and to send commands using a standard
GSM mobile phone.
The way to exchange information with the Contatto bus is
based upon the SMS messages (Short Message Service):
each sent/received message contains literal strings fully
configurable by the user.
In comparison to similar systems based on DTMF tones,
III
ModGSM
module allows to exclude any misunderstand-
ing about the sent commands and to have clear and explicit
information about the status of the system. ModGSM
contains a "GSM engine" that may operate both with re-
chargeable and contract SIM cards.
III
ModGSM
requires MCP XT controller equipped with
main firmware version 3.5 or higher.
The main features of ModGSM
Enabled telephone numbers: up to 32 telephone
➢
numbers may be defined, from which the module ac-
cepts SMS to perform commands or to which the mod-
ule sends information via SMS.
Jolly number: the "jolly number" function allows to a
➢
not listed user to send a SMS command to ModGSM
module, of course provided that before the commands
a well defined password has been entered.
This password must be always placed at the beginning
of SMS and can be freely set using the support soft-
ware ModGSMTools.
III
SMS from ModGSM
➢
defined, which will be sent by ModGSM
one or more phone numbers at the occurrence of an
event (e.g. alarm system, failure of the boiler, etc.);
each one of these SMS can contain information about
one or more points of Contatto bus or about the local
input of the module.
SMS from ModGSM
➢
restoring of the power supply: thanks to an internal
rechargeable battery, ModGSM
a message at the interruption and/or at the restoring of
the power supply; these two messages may be defined
by the user and they may be individually enabled.
This feature does not depend on the bus activity and it
is useful to be informed about the status of the electric-
al network of the plant. At the interruption of the power
III
supply, ModGSM
switched off after a programmable delay; during this
time the local inputs are still working.

or at its restoring

ModGSM
can be set to forward all SMS, received
from not listed phone numbers, to one of the listed
phone numbers, or to a number not inserted in the list.

a listed phone numbers (or from the jolly number).
Between the processing of a command string and the
next one, the module waits for a pause of 1 second. If
a command string is set to perform more actions, these
ones will be processed without any pause, so they will
III
be executed almost at the same time. For each com-
mand string, at least one action must be defined.
SMS from user to ModGSM
➢
quest: the command SMS described at previous point
may contain also a request of SMS sending to the
user, reporting information about one or more points of
the system.

possible to enable/disable the PIN code of the SIM by
using ModGSMTools programs, avoiding the need to
use a third GSM phone. In addition, by PC, it is pos-
sible to change the PIN code of the SIM.
