"0641" - max 64 behaviour statements, 4096 bytes of setup memory, max 22 inputs/outputs supported.

"1281" has all the bells and whistles. Max 128 behaviour statements, 8192 bytes of setup memory, max 32 inputs/outputs supported. Note: Only to be released in Q4 2010.

Version6 is just like Version5, only TOTALLY different!
In V5, a predefined amount of setup memory was allocated for phonenumbers, for messages, etc. If you didn't use the available space for its intended purpose, it went unused and was therefore wasted.

V6 solves this problem. If you want 1 phone number, but 50 messages, you can! The setup is therefore compiled dynamically - no static memory boundaries as in V5 or V4.

Certain limitations are imposed, however. A maximum of 512 phone numbers are allowed, maximum 128 messages (each max 128 characters).

The user will have a much improved experience with the setup software. This will be greatly appreciated by current V5 and V4 users.

To mention but a few improvements:

  • Numbers and messages can be defined on the fly. No more having to exit the behaviour setup due to forgetting to define a message or phone number.
  • The "IF's" and "THEN's" are grouped into logical groups rather than an "IF" or "THEN" for every different option.  For example, in V5 there was a "THEN activate output for 'B' seconds" ; "THEN activate output for 'B' minutes"; "Then active output (and leave activated)", etc.  In V6, there is a single entry named "THEN change output". The different options for changing the output is then configured with radio buttons, tickboxes, etc.
  • On the behaviour statements page, you can right-click, presenting you with options to manipulate the behaviour statements.  You can insert, move, swop, delete and rename statements this way!!!
  • I/O constraints. Besides the particular behaviour statement, the conditions of inputs and/or outputs must satisfy a defined criteria before the behaviour statement will trigger. I/O constraints can be added to most behaviour statements and is individually defined for each statement.  The "Time constraints" from V5 are still there and works on the same principle, with time being the deciding factor and not the conditions of the IO's.  Note that I/O constraints are not available on the 0321 version.
  •   Hold Times. For temperature, power failure/restore and analog statements, a time can be specified that the trigger condition must be met constantly before the statement will be allowed to trigger. This helps to eliminate false triggers due to noise levels or a reading hovering around the trigger point.
  •   No distinction is made between messages sent and received by the unit as in V5. "Messages" refers to both.

  The older versions (048A and 048B) will not be able to run V6 firmware/software.

Play around with the software, and you will get a very good idea of what the GSM Commander can do for you...

Is it a SMS controller? Is it a GSM Controller? Is it a Telemetry Controller? Is it a PLC Controller? The answer is: It is all of these combined.
