1.2 Telemetry
Equipment telemetry consists in the remote monitoring of all operating parameters
and can only be achieved through serial cable or modem connection to the
“TELECON” software.
1.3 Remote control
When the exciter is connected to the internal telemetry unit, it can be controlled
from a PC.
Fig.1.2: Example of Modem-to-PC connection
The “TELECON” software establishes connection with the station and enables the
following remote operations: alarm reset, transmitter power on/power off, power
supply reduction, dummy load testing, etc., data evaluation to locate possible
faults, identification of parts required for repair.
An alternative remote controlling option uses SMS messaging through a common
GSM phone (if connected with an external GSM modem), in which case the
equipment will respond as indicated in table 1.2.
Before querying the system using SMS messages, establish a connection using
the “TELECON” software and set the provider service centre number and the
telephone numbers authorised to send these commands to the devices.
