Continuous real-time communication between the Verbatim® Gateway and the PLC network is performed via a serial link using the protocols supported by specific PLC models. Any PLC's I/O points and data table locations can be manually altered. In addition, the system provides automatic monitoring of as many as 96 points - points reflecting any combination of discrete, analog, timer, counter, or other PLC data objects. |
N/A The Verbatim® Gateway is designed for use with popular network protocols - including the Modicon Modbus Plus™ Modbus® RTU and the Allen Bradley DH485. Operating at selectable communication speeds up to 1 Mbaud, it's even capable of simultaneously monitoring PLCs on networks using different protocols. And all protocol-specific error detection techniques and retransmission methods are fully maintained. You can also use the Verbatim® Gateway as a bridge between incompatible networks, so that data can be exchanged between them. |
N/A Accessing any of the 96 points which are automatically controlled by the Verbatim® Gateway requires only a brief 4-digit sequence. Users can quickly perform functions that range from ordinary status-checking and message recording/review/revision to reading/writing of data registers at any network address and selection of global commands applying to all channels. Responses are always in voice format; data register numeric codes, for example, are converted to spoken voice messages. If a programming sequence is not recognized by the Verbatim® Gateway or if an invalid parameter is entered, the system responds with the appropriate voice message. The clear voice guidance simplifies entry of dial-out phone numbers, recording of alarm messages and setting of trip delays. The system’s preprogrammed operating parameters streamline set-up, yet they may be easily altered to meet specific needs. |
N/A When an alarm condition occurs, the Verbatim® Gateway automatically dials up to 16 field-programmable phone numbers - numbers having as many as 60 digits each. The system then reports the station indenfication and the specific alarm condition. Acknowledgment of an alarm phone call is effected by the simple touch of a button on the called phone during the alarm notification or by calling the reporting unit after the call has been received. |
N/A Wherever there's a telephone, there's instant access to status reports on all conditions monitored via the Verbatim® Gateway. Similarly, the touch of a telephone key lets you review and alter programming, change alarm criteria, monitoring points, process variables, and setpoints. Further, the system’s built-in microphone permits listening to on-site sounds, and a built-in speakerphone allows convenient communication with on-site personnel. |

Free of the restrictions imposed by built-in vocabularies, the Verbatim® Gateway can store in memory anything that can be spoken - from names and numbers to technical terms and detailed instructions. |
N/A
The Verbatim® Gateway's heavy duty metal enclosure, carefully selected and proven solid-state components, and sealed membrane keyboard are an assurance of problem free performance year after year. |
N/A
The Verbatim® Gateway is self testing and provides complete diagnostic information. Should it detect a communication failure, the unit automatically initiates an alarm. In addition to generating voice message calls, alarm situations are also indicated by the system's LED display panel. |
