| Model Number | EM-486 |
| Brand | NOVATEK ELECTRO |
| Attributes | RS485 Modbus/ASCI to GSM/Ethernet conversion, Micro SD card |
| Application | Remote Monitoring/Control, IOT, Data Logging, 3 Relay Outputs & 4 Sensor Inputs |
Interface controller with built-in I/Os for Remote Operation/Monitoring EM-486 provides access to readings of communicable devices, gauges and sensors from their registers of Modbus connected via RS-485 interface with the help of text SMS messages, automatic data gathering from the selected devices, transmitting the gathered data via GPRS or Ethernet to various SCADA interfaces, automatic transmitting SMS alarms of state of selected devices.
EM-486 has:
- Flexible options of connection (via wire or wireless communication, automatic method selection of communicating with a server, automatic or manual selection of GSM provider and communication parameters, resetting of MAC-address and other Ethernet settings);
- Protection of access (password for setting mode, filter of IP-address for setting or connection to Modbus network, connection only to the selected server with automatic log-in, password for control via SMS);
- Different modes of data interchange via Modbus network (RTU or ASCII, with checking of parity for even-odds or without checking, wide range of transmitting rate, adjustable delay);
- Programmable relay outputs for reaction at events and alarms;
- Programmable inputs for sensors;
- Power output for sensors;
- Reserve power supply input;
- Service functions (saving the collected data to flash memory card including the restoring of transmitting in case of communication break down, data single sourcing on the selected external server, software updating option).
- EM-486 meets the requirements of IEC 60950-1:2001 Data processing devices.
EM-486 provides control for MODBUS devices in RS-485 network via Ethernet interfaces or GPRS, or via the SMS. The unit also allows to read data from devices by MODBUS or from connected sensors.
The processor supports connection to the accumulating data cloud server via Ethernet network with a help of micro chip of physical interface of Ethernet (or via GPRS with a help of inbuilt GSM-modem, if connection via Ethernet is not available).
In addition, EM-486 can be connected to Ethernet via MODBUS TCP Protocol to exchange data with MODBUS devices, or with the product. The controller receives and processes SMS with a password and command read/write for Modbus devices.
When inserting a memory card the product reads the internal memory for operational logic – program for data collection and tracking of events. The program runs in the background mode.
Product stores in the internal memory the network settings, parameters of inputs and outputs, the logic of action, the collected data log.
