Corrupted firmware or setup

It is possible that the GSM Commander firmware or setup program may become corrupted. This

could happen because of lightning strikes or power surges, and is extremely rare (less than one
incident per 5 000 units per year)

Logic functions

The GSM Commander has some functionality that reminds one of a PLC. This is true, but the GSM
Commander is NOT a PLC, and if you are an automation engineer, some of the limitations will tend

to annoy. When compared to a PLC, the GSM Commander provides extremely basic logic functions
only.
