An advanced yet simplified Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), the Tbox20 takes advantage of the reliable, widespread GSM networks and the supported GPRS service, and therefore becomes a remotely accessible unit from any part of the world. Various parameters of Tbox20 can be configured using an embedded feature-rich web server interface. The inputs on Tbox20 can be used for monitoring external devices or connecting sensors (analogue/digital). Alarm conditions can be configured for monitoring these inputs. Since the Tbox20 supports SMS and SMTP protocols, it can be configured to send an SMS/email whenever alarm conditions occur. The Tbox20 also gives users the freedom to control the states of the connected outputs.

The Tbox20 is available ex-stock for 149. For more information go to www.audon.co.uk/tbox20.html.
