GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XCGSM option card allows the user to add GSM/GPRS cellular modem
capability to their Data Station Plus or Modular Controller. GSM/GPRS is the
most prevalent cellular technology in today’s markets. GPRS can be used for
services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Short Message
Service (SMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and
World Wide Web access. The XCGSM modem option card is quad-band,
allowing it to work in frequencies across the Americas, Europe and Asia. US
and Canada work in the 850/1900 MHz bands, while Europe, Middle East,
Africa and most of Asia work in the 900/1800 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies.
The XCGSM requires the addition of a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
card, which is inserted into the holder prior to installation of the XCGSM card.
The SIM card securely stores the service-subscriber key (IMSI) used to identify
a subscriber, and is used to connect to the network to obtain an IP address from
the provider.
The XCGSM communication card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and
plugging the XCGSM card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple
using Red Lion’s free Crimson
®
2.0 software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.

ANTENNA CONNECTOR
:
SMA Female connector requires:
50 Ohm antenna with SMA male connector
Quad-band antenna (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) for global support.
Dual-band (850/1900 MHz) antenna for US and Canada only
Dual band (900/1800 MHz) for Europe only
The antenna cable should be 50
impedance, RG178/U or RG174/U type
and be able to connect to the RSMA (Male) jack bulkhead. The antenna
could be horizontal, vertical or right angled. Longer antenna cable would
equate to signal loss.
