Communication Services
The RS-232C Serial Card is a plug-in card that allows the FX16 Master
Controllers to connect to a modem (standard or GSM) or to a computer via
the standard communication port of the computer (null modem
connection). Using a connected modem, the FX16 Master Controller
sends e-mails and SMS messages (GSM modem only) to report alarms,
events, and trend logs.
You can program e-mails to send periodically. Sending e-mails
off-loads the controller memory containing the logged trend data.
The communication services are configurable in FX Builder via the
Application/Notification Services/E-mail or via the
Application/Notification Services/SMS menus.
