  • ILX800-SMSG Datasheet
    DATASHEET Micro800 SMS Plug-in Module for GSM Networks ILX800-SMSG The ProSoft Technology SMS Plug-in Module adds bi-directional SMS text messaging capability to the Allen-Bradley Micro820, Micro830, and Micro850 controllers. Operating over the GSM cellular network, the plug-in module provides a cost- effective and secure method for OEMs to add remote communication features using cellular phones as the user interface to their machines and systems. Applications include remote alarming, environmental/energy monitoring, data collection, machine condition, inventory status alerts and production counts. The SMS plug-in is activated by installing a standard GSM Voice/SMS SIM card (contact your local GSM cellular provider for plan options and costs). After activation it will associate to the local provider tower and enable bi- directional text messaging between the controller and remote cell phones. Because the module uses SMS, there is no need for costly cellular data plans. The SMS Plug-in snaps into an open slot in the front of the controller. The controller provides power and all communications are over the backplane. A sample CCW program is available at no additional cost with plug-in function block drivers and a sample program provided in Structured Text, Ladder and Function Block languages. Programmers may use these sample programs for creating their own projects for message sending, receiving, alarming and machine status. The front mounted coax connector allows for either a direct-mounted antenna or externally mounted antenna (installed

  • Protect Consumers from Spam and Scam Robotexts
    Media Contact: Cecilia Sulhoff, (202) 418-0587 [email protected] For Immediate Release FCC TAKES ACTION TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM SPAM ROBOTEXT MESSAGES WASHINGTON, December 12, 2018—The Federal Communications Commission today issued a ruling rejecting requests to make it harder for text messaging providers to protect consumers from spam and scam robotexts. The Commission’s decision makes clear that wireless providers are authorized to continue their efforts to stop unwanted text messaging through robotext-blocking, anti-spoofing measures, and other anti-spam features. Text messaging has become a critical communications option for consumers with 1.77 trillion messages exchanged in the United States in 2017. Wireless messaging has become a trusted form of communication for millions of Americans in large part because wireless providers have taken measures to prevent spam and other unwanted or malicious traffic from clogging consumers’ phones. As a result of these efforts, wireless messaging remains a relatively spam- free service, with the spam rate for Short Message Service (SMS) estimated at less than 3%.
