Description:

MA5 supports two way text messages using SMS text messages. This allows GSM mobile phones to receive messages from the factory MicroScan V5 monitoring systems, and also allows the mobile phone to send messages to the MicroScan V5 to acknowledge alarms, request the latest process state or variable of any parameter and so on.

The MA5 will broadcast alarm messages to one or more phones concurrently and only phones whose number is listed in MA5, can request plant data. Additional security is in place for changes to plant from mobile phones.

The MA5 can act as a communication link between two MicroScan V5 systems, allowing data sharing. Economical communication between two V5 sites which are km’s apart is now possible.

MicroScan V5 PC Connection:

The MA5 requires a spare RS232 port on the MA5 Server computer, to connect the ‘Siemens MC35’ and to have access to an SMTP email server.
The MC35 is best described as a ‘GSM brick phone’ which (if ordered from Intech), is supplied with an external aerial that comes complete with a lead.

The use of the dedicated MC35, provides a secure link for the free flow of messages back and forth. Simply fit a SIM card (not supplied) into the MC35. This approach allows the use of an economical tariff for text messages.

Please note:

• The MA5 requires the use of the MC35 and access to an SMTP email server.
• MA5 requires the use of MicroScan V5 (build 2080 or later) and Microsoft .NET 2.0 - see the MA5 download page for further details.

Please note that MA5 is a complete new package and is not the old MMA software upgraded.

If you still have MicroScan V4.1 you will need to use the older MMA software.
