12 Use

3 Use
The TO-PASS® product family is designed for wireless communication of signals
and messages.

This includes:

• compact modules for the connection of signals from installations

• transmission
• preparation of values for the operator.

The system is connected in wireless mode to PCs, handheld computers, Internet

PCs, web servers, mobile telephones, fax, e-mail receivers or landline telephones.
Acting upon the installation is also possible.

Communication occurs using the global mobile radio network “GSM” (Global
System for Mobile Communication). A SIM card is required for the TO-PASS®
telecontrol module to use this network. As in the case of a mobile telephone, the
TO-PASS® telecontrol module requires the SIM card in order to be able to “log
on” to the network.

No other components are required, other than the SIM card to connect to the GSM
mobile radio network and a GSM antenna (available as an accessory). Modems
and interfaces are already installed in the TO-PASS® telecontrol module.

TO-PASS® telecontrol modules may be used as:

• permanent online link

• fault detector
• remote data request system
• data memory
• telecontrol module

In doing so, the modules of the WAGO TO-PASS® series are classified as follows:

• WAGO TO-PASS® S - “S” = small, compact module,

• WAGO TO-PASS® M - “M” = medium, universal compact module.

3.1 Error Messages

As soon as a digital input is set or the limit value of an analog input is undershot
or overshot, the TO-PASS® telecontrol module immediately transmits an alarm as
an SMS. This can be sent simultaneously to up to four receivers. The receivers
can be mobile telephones and the alarm can also be read as a message on a
landline or received as a fax or an e-mail.

Since the message is transmitted with the date and time it can be used effectively
for documentation purposes in the form of fax or e-mail.

3.2 Remote Data Polling

TO-PASS® telecontrol modules offer two options for remote polling of the analog
process values.

If polled via SMS, the TO-PASS® telecontrol module responds to an SMS

containing the text “State” with an SMS that contains the current process values
pertaining to all the digital and analog inputs.

When polled with the TO-PASS® operator program, all current digital and analog
process values are transmitted via direct RS-232 cable connection or with the help
of an analog, ISDN or GSM modem link.

3.3 Data Storage

The TO-PASS® telecontrol module has a memory for data storage that can save up
to 4200 complete “process images” in a ring memory. “Process image” means all
voltage and current signals currently available at the terminals of the TO-PASS®
telecontrol module. All signals are stored with a time stamp in the data memory of
the TO-PASS® telecontrol module. The time interval between successive storage,
that is, the storage cycle can be set between 1 and 99 minutes with the help of the
graphical user interface system.

The contents of the data memory can be read out directly from the device using a
PC via RS-232 interface or via remote data polling (refer to the section on
“Remote Data Polling”). In both cases, polling is initiated using the TO-PASS®
operator software.

The figure illustrates the trend curve displayed by the TO-PASS® operator
software after reading out the values of analog output 1.
The values are also available as a table in ASCII format.

3.4 Telecontrol
For the purpose of telecontrol on the process, the TO-PASS® telecontrol module
offers up to:

• 8 x digital outputs, with a switching capacity of 1 A

• 2 x analog outputs 0/4 … 20 mA.

The digital outputs can switch loads of up to 1 A, whereby the voltage can be fed
separately as DC voltage. The analog outputs can be configured as 0 … 20 mA or
4 ... 20 mA output current. The equivalent of the current value can be configured
independently. The outputs can be configured both with the help of the TO-PASS®
operator software and also via mobile telephone as an SMS.

3.5 Permanent Online Connection

The TO-PASS® telecontrol module can be used with Web functionality in order to
implement a permanent online link to your system. In this configuration, the TO-
PASS® telecontrol module transmits all current process values automatically to a
web server at configurable cyclic intervals. This web server, which is a standard
PC having a permanent Internet connection, collects the data and stores the
current values or saves them in the “MySQL” database for archiving purposes.

Please refer to WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG for assistance with web
server, database and web visualization pertaining to this design and configuration
of the TO-PASS®.

3.5.1 Process Value Archiving

With the help of web functionality, the data can also be stored optionally in a
database in “MySQL” format. This database is located on the server and thus
saves on investments for commercially available data loggers at site. The database
is adapted to the TO-PASS® process image and can hold an unlimited amount of
data that is limited only by the server memory capacity. The database can be
adapted to meet your requirements.

3.5.2 Visualization via Internet

Web visualization is a very comfortable form of visualizing the TO-PASS®
process data. HTML pages can be saved for visualization on the web server
directly, to which the TO-PASS® telecontrol module transmits its measured
values. A standard PC with Internet connection can be used to access them. The
pages are accessed with the help of a user name and password.

The display can be configured by the user to meet his requirements. Standard
solutions available are:

• selection map
• process value display
• strip-chart recorder.

All modules can be configured to meet the client’s specifications.

Using the selection map, individual stations can be selected using the mouse when
a large number of TO-PASS® telecontrol modules are used. The name of the
station appears automatically with each selection. The detailed picture pertaining
to the station appears by clicking on the station.

18 Connection to the GSM Mobile Radio Network

4 Connection to the GSM Mobile Radio Network

4.1 SIM Cards
The TO-PASS® telecontrol module communicates in a manner similar to that of a
mobile telephone, using the mobile radio network GSM (Global System for
Mobile Communication). Using the GSM network enables the TO-PASS®
telecontrol module to be self-sufficient (used without cable connections) and
located anywhere that the GSM network is available. The GSM network is
available in more than 190 countries.

Essentially, the TO-PASS® telecontrol module communicates at any location

where it is possible to place a call via mobile telephone. If the reception is weak,
then amplifying antennas can be used. As an additional test, WAGO
Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG can check the reception level with the help of
the TO-PASS® operator software or check the network availability with the
respective service provider worldwide by specifying the location. For matters
pertaining to this, please contact WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG.

The TO-PASS® telecontrol module requires a SIM card to connect to the GSM
network. The SIM card can be optimized for use depending on the application.
Different services are used within the GSM network. The services describe the
mode of communication that is used by the mobile subscriber. The most popular
service is “Voice” as mobile telephones communicate in this mode. “SMS” (Short
Message Service) is another popular service within the GSM network.

As described in the section on “Application,” the TO-PASS® telecontrol module

uses the following services for communication:

• SMS (Short Message Service)

• CSD (Circuit Switch Data)
• GPRS (General Packed Radio Service)

For applications having only fault messages, a SIM card offered by SMS service,
is adequate (and is offered by every standard mobile telephone card). Some
providers such as T-Mobile Germany however, also offer SIM cards having only
SMS communication. Depending on the framework contract, this alternative may
be more cost-effective.

The TO-PASS® telecontrol module requires the CSD service for remote polling,
telecontrol and remote customization.

The TO-PASS® telecontrol module uses the GPRS service for permanent on-line
connection. Please consult your service provider in this case particularly with
respect to the chargeable block size for transmission. The block size charged
describes the rounding that the GSM service provider performs when terminating
the GPRS transmission. If, for example, 76 kB have been transmitted and the
block size is 10 kB, then the service provider rounds this up to 80 kB. The optimal
block size for the TO-PASS® telecontrol module is 1 kB.

Please contact WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG for selecting the optimal
contract with the service provider.

4.2 GSM Antennas

The TO-PASS® telecontrol module requires a GSM antenna to communicate with
the GSM network. Suitable antennas are available as accessories — depending on
the application other antennas can also be used. Similarly, the cable to the antenna
can be extended.
