GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VFG9000-CEL option card allows the user to add GSM/GPRS cellular
modem capability to their Fieldbus Gateway. GSM/GPRS is the most prevalent
cellular technology in today’s markets. GPRS can be used for services such as
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Short Message Service (SMS),
and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web
access. The VFG9000-CEL modem option card is quad-band, allowing it to
work in frequencies across the Americas, Europe and Asia. US and Canada
work in the 850/1900 MHz bands, while Europe, Middle East, Africa and most
of Asia work in the 900/1800 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies.
The VFG9000-CEL requires the addition of a SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card, which is inserted into the holder prior to installation of the
VFG9000-CEL card. The SIM card securely stores the service-subscriber key
(IMSI) used to identify a subscriber, and is used to connect to the network to
obtain an IP address from the provider.
The VFG9000-CEL communication card is easily installed by removing the
blank expansion port cover of your Fieldbus Gateway, and plugging the
VFG9000-CEL card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using
B&B Electronics’ free Fieldbus Gateway Manager software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.

SPECIFICATIONS
1. POWER REQUIREMENTS: 24 V @ 125 mA max. Power is supplied to
the option card from the main board of the Fieldbus Gateway.
2. ANTENNA CONNECTOR:
SMA Female connector requires:
50 Ohm antenna with SMA male connector
Quad-band antenna (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) for global support.
Dual-band (850/1900 MHz) antenna for US and Canada only
Dual band (900/1800 MHz) for Europe only
The antenna cable should be 50 Ω impedance, RG178/U or RG174/U type
and be able to connect to the RSMA (Male) jack bulkhead. The antenna
could be horizontal, vertical or right angled. Longer antenna cable would
equate to signal loss.
This device is intended for connection to an antenna mounted within the
building or a UL certified enclosure suitably rated for application.
