Description

This DIN-rail mountable module adds GSM connectivity to your Industruino. It easily connects to the Industruino PROTO or IND.I/O kit through the 14p IDC expansion port.

A range of example code is provided, which will enable you to very quickly build a remotely deployed connected product.

The module is complemented by a Micro-SD card slot and RS-232 communications port. The SD memory is ideal for storing large files, such as used in data logging projects. The RS-232 port can be used to connect the module directly to a PC for software development purposes (eg. quick testing of AT commands), or can be re-routed to a second UART of the Industruino by flipping a switch.

Apart from the Industruino's 14P IDC interface option the module can also be interfaced to any device via RS-232 and powered from an external power supply with V-in 3-32V.

The module has a very stable power supply with significant filtering to smooth out peak current draw during transmission, thus allow powering from the Industruino's internal power supply.
