VEGA PLICSMOBILE GSM_GPRS radio module - Manual (Page 14)

All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard
version and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard
version, all functions for complete setup are already included. An
assistant for simple project configuration simplifies the adjustment
considerably. Saving/printing the project as well as import/export
functions are also part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for
complete project documentation as well as a save function for
measured value and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank
calculation program as well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of
the saved measured value and echo curves.
5 .4 Mobile network and SIM card
A released SIM card with data transmission option is
required for setup. Dial-out connections from PLICSMOBILE can be
provided optionally via GPRS (volume-based billing) or via a dial-up
connection (CSD, time-based billing). The transmission mode can be
adjusted when configuring via PACTware and DTM. Outgoing
connections are used for transmission of measured values via e-mail/
WEB-VV.
Dial-in connections on PLICSMOBILE are only possible if the SIM
card used supports the data service CSD (Circuit Switched Data).
Dial-in connections are used for remote parameter adjustment. The
use of GPRS is not possible.
Information:
The SIM card does not belong to the scope of delivery of the
instrument and must be provided by the respective operator. To avoid
roaming costs, the card should be bought in the country in which the
PLICSMOBILE is installed and operated.
The data transmission can be either carried out via CSD but
also via GPRS. The availability of GPRS at the location of
PLICSMOBILE depends on the respective mobile network provider.
With CSD, the transmission costs are calculated by means of the
required time. With GPRS, the calculation is made according to the
transmitted data volume. For this, the data transmission should be
always carried out via GPRS, if possible.
When transmitting the measured value via e-mail or WEB-VV,
approximately 5 KB data are transmitted. For example with an hourly
transmission this will cause a monthly net data volume of totally
approximately 4 MB.
Dependent on the selected tariff, the mobile network provider carries
out a so called block rounding. When checking out of the GPRS
network billing units are rounded. Since the PLICSMOBILE checks out
of the GPRS network after transmission of each message provided the
