  2. Contents • Software Requirements • Supported Hardware Components • Connection Diagram • The short way to send alarm messages • The FST project • Driver configuration • IO configuration • The EasyGSM project • The modem • The symbols • The alarms • Download • EasyGSM can more … • Frequently Asked Questions

  3. EasyGSM – Software Requirements • PC Operating System: • Windows 2000 SP4 or higher • Windows XP • Controller: • Festo PLC with FST Kernel • EasyGSM: • Licensed EasyGSM V4.0 or higher

  4. EasyGSM – Supported Hardware Components • Controller: • Festo FEC Compact • Festo FEC Standard • Festo CPX-FEC • PS1-FST • FC38-FST (includes modem) • GSM Modem: • Siemens MC35i Terminal (900/1800 MHz) • Siemens TC35i Terminal (900/1800 MHz) • Siemens TC65 (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) • Wavecom Fastrack (900/1800 MHz) • FC38-FST (900 MHz, includes controller) • Accessories: • Connection cables and antenna

  5. EasyGSM – Connection Diagram Valid SIM card with a balance to send SMS messages • Example with • FEC Standard • Siemens MC35i Terminal *) Please note: Connection cable between controller and modem as well as connection of power supply depends on the type of controller and modem used! COM or EXT Interface e. g. FEC-FC440-FST e. g. FEC-KSD1-RS232-RJ11 *) e. g. Beck ZK24 Power supply 24V DC *) Please consult Users Manual of the modem

  6. The short way to send alarm messages • The FST project • Driver configuration • IO configuration • The EasyGSM project • The modem • The symbols • The alarms • Download

  7. The FST project • If not installed you need an FST project • EasyGSM uses the FST kernel • EasyGSM does not rely on the content of any FST program • With EasyGSM the controller can still be used as control systemPlease note: EasyGSM driver and possibly other FST drivers consume memory in the controller. Free memory for control programs decreases!
