B&R 8AC122-60-3 REV H Digital Qutput Termination

Product Detailed Description (Assumed for a Cellular Modem Card)

• Functionality:

• Remote Access: Allows engineers and support staff to remotely connect to B&R PLCs, HMIs, or industrial PCs over the cellular network for programming, troubleshooting, and monitoring.

• Data Logging & Telemetry: Facilitates the transmission of operational data, alarms, and sensor readings from remote or mobile industrial assets to central monitoring systems or cloud platforms.

• SMS Communication: Some models may support sending/receiving SMS messages for critical alarms or remote commands.

• VPN Support: Often supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) functionalities to establish secure, encrypted communication tunnels over public cellular networks, ensuring data integrity and security.

• Integration: Designed for seamless integration with B&R hardware, typically connecting via USB or mini-PCIe interfaces on industrial PCs or specific communication modules for PLCs.

• Rugged Design: Built to withstand industrial environments, including temperature variations, vibrations, and sometimes humidity.

• Antenna Connections: Features external antenna connectors to ensure reliable cellular signal reception.

Product Parameters (General, as specific model data for a "Modem Card" is scarce)

• Supported Cellular Technologies:

• 2G (GPRS/EDGE)

• 3G (UMTS/HSPA+)

• 4G (LTE) - often with fallback to 3G/2G

• Frequency Bands: Multi-band support for global deployment (e.g., Europe, North America, Asia).

• Interface: Typically USB 2.0/3.0, Mini-PCIe.

• SIM Card Slot: Standard SIM card slot (Mini, Micro, or Nano SIM).

• Antenna Connector: SMA or U.FL for external antennas.

• Operating Voltage: Typically powered by the host B&R device (e.g., 5V DC from USB, or via internal PCIe slot).

• Current Consumption: Varies depending on cellular activity (e.g., 100mA to 500mA typical).

• Operating Temperature: Generally within industrial ranges, e.g., -20°C to +70°C.

• Degree of Protection: Usually depends on the housing of the B&R device it's integrated into. The card itself may not have an IP rating.

• Software/Driver Support: Requires drivers and configuration tools compatible with B&R's Automation Runtime OS or Windows Embedded OS on their industrial PCs.

Product Advantages (Assumed for a Cellular Modem Card)

• Remote Connectivity: Enables access and control of industrial systems from anywhere with cellular coverage, reducing travel costs and response times.

• Enhanced Uptime: Facilitates proactive maintenance, remote diagnostics, and rapid troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

• Scalability & Flexibility: Ideal for distributed assets or mobile machinery where wired connections are impractical.

• Security: Support for VPNs ensures secure data transmission over public networks.

• Data Acquisition: Allows for continuous data logging and analysis from remote sites for performance optimization and predictive maintenance.

• B&R Ecosystem Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with other B&R hardware and software components.

Precautions (Assumed for a Cellular Modem Card)

• Cellular Coverage: Ensure adequate cellular network coverage at the installation site. Use external high-gain antennas if necessary.

• SIM Card Activation & Data Plan: A valid and active SIM card with an appropriate data plan is essential. Consider data usage for logging and remote access.

• Antenna Selection & Placement: Proper antenna selection (e.g., omnidirectional, directional) and placement are crucial for signal strength and reliability. Avoid obstructions.

• Security Configuration: Implement robust cybersecurity measures, including strong VPN configurations, firewall rules, and access control, as cellular networks can be vulnerable.

• Power Consumption: Consider the power consumption of the modem card, especially in battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications.

• Environmental Factors: While rugged, protect the overall system from extreme environmental conditions if the modem card is not in a fully enclosed, rated housing.

• Software & Firmware Compatibility: Ensure the modem card's drivers and firmware are compatible with the B&R operating system and application.

• Regulatory Compliance: Verify that the modem card and its frequency bands comply with local telecommunications regulations in the deployment region.

Product Applications (Assumed for a Cellular Modem Card)

• Remote Monitoring of Distributed Assets: Oil & gas pipelines, water treatment plants, remote pumping stations, agricultural equipment.

• Mobile Machinery: Construction equipment, agricultural vehicles, mining machinery for remote diagnostics and telematics.

• Smart Grid & Utilities: Remote monitoring and control of power distribution units, smart meters, and substations.

• Vending Machines & Kiosks: Remote management, inventory tracking, and payment processing.

• Wind Turbines & Solar Farms: Remote performance monitoring and fault diagnostics.

• Temporary Installations: Construction sites, pop-up events where wired internet is not feasible.

• Fleet Management: Tracking and managing vehicle fleets equipped with B&R control systems.
