In industrial routers, IP connectivity serves as the standard for robust, high-speed data communication, facilitating seamless integration with modern network systems. However, incorporating Digital I/O and SMS alongside IP connectivity enhances the system’s versatility and reliability.
Digital I/O continues to play crucial roles in industrial applications. It provides straightforward and reliable interfaces for monitoring and controlling equipment, which is essential for real-time operations and automation.
SMS, on the other hand, remains a dependable fallback method for sending alerts and commands. It can still function effectively over basic cellular networks, making it invaluable for monitoring and controlling equipment in areas where other communication methods might fail, especially in remote or challenging environments where internet connectivity may be unreliable.
Together, Digital I/O and SMS offer resilient and secure solutions that complement IP-based systems, ensuring continuous, effective communication and control even when high-tech options face limitations. In scenarios where IP-based networks might fail or be disrupted, Digital I/O can maintain critical control and monitoring functions, while SMS provides a dependable way to send alerts and commands. This dual approach offers a safety net, allowing operators to receive real-time notifications and remotely manage equipment even during network outages or in remote locations with limited connectivity. By integrating Digital I/O and SMS, industries can safeguard against communication failures, ensuring that essential processes remain operational and responsive in all conditions. Siretta’s Industrial Cellular Routers, QUARTZ-LTE and QUARTZ-ONYX-5G routers, offer Digital I/O with SMS for control and monitoring functions as standard.
