DinBox GSM M4: Pocket Sized 4G IEC 60870-5-104 to Modbus RTU, router and transparent modem

The DinBox GSM M4 modem is a versatile communication device designed to provide flexible data communication solutions for industrial environments. The DinBox GSM M4 modem contains a number of options to accommodate different communication speeds, power supplies and interfaces. The modem has an extended TCP/IP stack implementation, and is able to connect non-IP devices to an IP network over an Ethernet or WAN link. The modem can also act as SCADA RTU mapping IEC 60870-5-104 objects to Modbus registers. The DinBox GSM M4 is a pocket industrial DINrail modemrouter and RTU. It allows data communication over LTE Cat. 1 for transparant communication with electricity meters, SCADA IEC 60870-5-104/Modbus mapping and routing. This costeffective solution is the ideal tool to integrate non-IP devices in your network over 4G.

There are 3 data communication scenarios in which you can use the DinBox GSM M4 device:

Scenario 1: The DinBox GSM M4 is used as a typical external modem for reading out (electricity) meter devices for invoicing applications. 4G communication is setup from the central backoffice to the modem, which is in Socket server mode. The modem is in listening mode and the data is sent to its fixed IP address. A serial connection is made to the connected meter. At this point a transparant data mode is open, allowing DLMS or other protocols to be executed. (The DinBox GSM M4 can also be used in socket client mode)

Scenario 2: The DinBox gsm M4 can be used as a basic 4G router (NAT) allowing up to 8 devices to be connected.

Scenario 3: The DinBox GSM M4 is used as a RTU, mapping IEC 60870-5 objects to Modbus registers or coils, via 4G WAN connection and secured by TLS 1.2 (1.3 coming soon).
