PLC, Modem & SMS.......

[BC SYSTEMS]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with using the PLC to send SMS messages with a standard modem i.e not GSM?

Can anyone recommend a modem and share some code?  I have been asked to provide this on a very short delivery so I don't want to slip up due to prolonged de-bugging from scratch if possible.

All I need to do is send a text when an input changes state so I'm hoping someone has done this or similar already.

P.s  TL server and a PC is not an option, I need this to be standalone, just the PLC, modem and phone line....

Cheers

Hi,

Not really.  I looked at these earlier but they are all GSM related.  I expect the commands are similar but I don't have the time to  play around

What do you mean by "standard modem"?

There is no way to send SMS via a normal telephone modem (RS232 port to telephone socket). If you have Ethernet connection available to the PLC you can send SMS via email gateway provided by the mobile phone provider.

Hi,

Ok thanks.  I figured if you can use HT on a PC I could send a SMS too.  

I'll ask one of the forum members for some assistance.

Cheers
