Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the InduBox GSM VIII, a smart modem designed to enhance the functionality of non-IP-enabled metering devices by incorporating wireless GPRS communication and TCP/IP protocol. It is particularly suited for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) applications.

Specifications
The InduBox GSM VIII modem features a Sierra Wireless GPRS Q2686 module, supporting a software development environment called Open AT. It allows for the execution of embedded ANSI C applications directly on the Wireless CPU. The modem includes logically separated RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces and supports various communication protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104, DLMS COSEM, and Modbus.

Functionalities
The modem offers AirVantageTM mass deployment services, firmware upgrades over the air (FOTA), and GSM/GPRS switching functionality. It can change from GSM data to GPRS or vice versa when installed in the field. Secure communication with the back-office can be established using RSA encryption.

Applications
Typical applications include remote AMR communication, GPRS upgrades of non-IP-enabled meters, vending machine monitoring, surveillance systems, and point of sales. The modem is tested and approved according to extended immunity requirements, making it suitable for heavy industrial environments.

Hardware Specifications
The modem is housed in a Bausch Datacom wall-mountable enclosure with a universal integrated power supply. It includes a magnetical dual-band FME antenna and an integrated 3V SIM card reader. The modem supports GPRS Class 10, CSD, SMS, and TCP/IP communication protocols.

Environmental and Power Specifications
The modem operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +55°C and a humidity range of 10% to 75% (non-condensing). It supports a power supply range of 90-253 Vac / 47-63 Hz.

Compliance and Approvals
The InduBox GSM VIII complies with various electromagnetic compatibility standards, including EN61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3, EN61000-4-2, and others. It is approved for use in environments with high electromagnetic interference.

Conclusion
The InduBox GSM VIII is a versatile and robust smart modem solution for enhancing non-IP-enabled metering devices, offering a range of functionalities and compliance with stringent industrial standards.

InduBox GSM/GPRS VIII (IB GSM/GPRS VIII)-1

Smart Modem Communication for the Industry and Energy market InduBox GSM VIII Industrial GSM / GPRS Smart Modem Making the grids smarter means that you also want to incorporate into the system the installed base of non IP-enabled metering or logging devices, adding wireless GPRS communication, TCP/IP protocol and functional intelligence by means of an external modem. InduBox GSM VIII, the most recent modem of the InduBox family, intends to be the perfect external GPRS smart modem solution for diverse AMR applications with non IP-enabled metering devices in the field. The new modem includes AirVantageTM mass deployment services, FOTA (firmware upgrade over the air) and 'GSM / GPRS switching' functionality, allowing the modem to change from GSM data to GPRS or vice versa when installed in the field. The modem comes with logically separated RS-232 & RS-485 interfaces. The standard embedded program in the GSM / GPRS CPU of the modem offers different AMR scenarios and even secure communication with the back-office can be set up by adding RSA encryption code to the embedded software of the modem. At the heart of the InduBox VIII modem, the Sierra Wireless GPRS Q2686 module supports a powerful software development environment – Open AT -, which allows embedded ANSI C applications to be executed directly on the Wireless CPU. This means Bausch Datacom can optionally integrate tailor-made applications and/or communication protocols, based on customer demand, a very powerful tool! Protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104, DLMS COSEM, Modbus or others can thus be implemented in the Wireless CPU of the modem. The InduBox GSM VIII is especially conceived for 'heavy' industrial environments: the modem is tested and approved according to the TST 25-3 extended immunity requirements in the Belgium electricity market. For example, when testing EN61000-4-3 - electromagnetic compatibility - Laborelec, the official Belgian test lab creates a test environment which generates 30 V/m field strengths instead of the standard 'normal' field strength of 10 V/m (CISPR24 level = 10 V/m). Typical Applications °Remote AMR communication °GPRS-upgrade of non IP-enabled meters and loggers °Vending machine monitoring °Surveillance systems °Point of Sales Product Highlights °Tested and approved according to extended immunity requirements °Configurable watchdog reset or external reset by ‘+V’ connection °Standard program: several transparent IP / AMR metering scenarios possible even if the meter does not have an IP stack °Optional: IEC 60870-5-104, DLMS COSEM, Modbus… °Optional: application on demand °Logically separated RS-232 & 485 interfaces °FOTA upgrade over the Air °AirVantageTM mass deployment services °Universal integrated power supply 85-264 Vac (optional: 10-60 Vdc) BAUSCH DATACOM Bausch Datacom NV/SA Tel.: Int 32(0)16 46 12 88 http://www.bausch.eu Tiensesteenweg 54-56 Fax: Int 32(0)16 46 31 51 http://www.bauschdatacom.be B-3360 Korbeek-Lo Belgium E-m
