March 24, 2009 - Semaphore introduced an intelligent, ultra-low power, Wireless Monitor that comprises a fully integrated solution for management of remote assets and processes. T-BOX WM extends advanced monitoring, automation and telemetry capabilities to installations requiring as few as one or two measurements. The T-BOX Wireless Monitor is ideal for decentralized SCADA system applications, such as infrastructure management and mobile asset management, where its push and Web technologies enable high performance yet economical implementation and operation. T-BOX WM provides users real-time access to alarms, live information and historical data, anytime, anywhere, through a standard Web browser. Since T-BOX WM also supports e-mail and SMS text messaging, personnel can be kept fully up-to-date using a cell phone or PDA. Designed for locations which lack a power source, T-BOX WM employs intelligent power management to allow operation using a small lithium battery. This ready-to-install solution is available in a variety of enclosures, such as an IP66 weatherproof housing, with internal single or dual lithium battery, and a communications device. The redundant battery significantly reduces risk of failure -- and necessity for a site visit -- due to battery drain. To reach all, point-of-use locations, T-BOX WM is available with a variety of wireless communications devices, including GSM cellular, CDMA cellular and spread spectrum radios. For landline telephone networks, a PSTN modem is also available. Unlike other solutions for remote monitoring, T-BOX WM further incorporates programmable automation capabilities. IEC 61131-3 Ladder Diagram, Basic and Microsoft Automation environments expedite configuration of automation tasks and custom calculations for virtually any remote asset or process.
