DPS-Promatic legacy products DPS-Promatic srl is an italian company which started manufacturing electronic machines in 1981. In the past 30 years we have developed many products. Some of them, including this one, have become obsolete. This page provides the information of the legacy product, now obsolete, and the link to the NEW PRODUCT that has similar characteristics.

Legacy Product: TCS 3.5 New product: TCX-Easycontrol TCS 3.5: the best choice for your GSM remote controls TCS 3.5 board including dual band GSM engine TCS 3.5 Industrial grade dual band GSM remote control board Thanks to GSM networks and DPS-Promatic TCS 3.5 it is possible to: Monitor remote machinery fault conditions, critical processes, liquid levels, fires etc. Monitor refrigerators Monitor the elders or the disabled, with alarm sent up to 8 telephones Receive burglar alarms on a phone Remote control Heating or Cooling systems Vending machines auditing of stock and cash ( and mobile pay ). Technical data of the different models (not all models have all features) 8 Digital inputs TTL level (active low, active high or counters software selectable) 8 Open collector outputs 1 low power relay output (in parallel with output 8) 1 4-20 ma analog input (also usable as 1-5 V) 1 temperature input On board lead battery charger 512 Kbytes flash eprom for data logging (option) Speech synthesizer (TCS-PRO-VOICE) DTMF decoder (TCS-PRO-VOICE) Power supply: 12-24 VAC or 12-35 VDC Operating temperature range: 0-50 C guaranteed, tested to -5/50 Type of SIM: standard small size 3V SIM After 21 years in electronis and 4 years in wireless controls DPS-Promatic can offer a very reliable product crafted according to the suggestions of hundreds of customers that have shared the pioneering phase with us. Engineers from the most different countries have told us what their needs were, we have evaluated their requests and most of the times we have implemented them. When one thinks of a remote control, usually concentrates on the central control server and web interface. This is what most companies do and advertise, mainly because it is the part that anybody can understand, expecially people versed more on the commercial rather then on the technical side. Unfortunately for some, but luckily for us, the real problem lays in the terminal side. You can build the most sophisticated central server in the world (we also can do it, by the way, check http://tcs.maxpor.net for details..) but if you rely on standard GSM modems as terminals there are really little results you can achieve. If you use a simple GSM modem as terminal (or, even worse, standard phones used as modems), you don't have any on-site intelligence, everything is based on orders received by the central unit, and most of the time this orders are received placing costly and not efficient data calls, and not using SMS message. If you are interested in SMS Vs DATA CALL (standard CSD or GPRS) take a look at our SMS control basics. The TCS 3.5 unit is a powerful and professional solution: TCS 3.5 has its own microprocessor and controls inputs and outputs on-site even without long time connection with a central server (that is not a necessity). TCS 3.5 can be reached using SMS messages, that are today's most reliable way of remote controling via GSM network, or via DATA call. In both ways commands are the same. TCS 3.5 has its own Real time clock, allowing stand alone scheduled operation TCS 3.5 has non volatile memory on board wher all parameters and numbers are stored permanently. Since nothing is stored on the SIM card you can change it anytime you want still keeping the same TCS 3.5 configuration. TCS 3.5 has its own power supply on board, allowing wide operating voltages (12-24 VAC or 12-35 VDC) TCS 3.5 can install various options on-board like: battery charger and power management, temperature management, analog inputs either 4-20 ma current loop or 1-5 V voltage type, DTMS recognition or speech synthesizer. TCS 3.5 can be controlled by a user using a simple phone, but it can also interface a central server for more sophisticated projects, or both. TCS 3.5 is not a cheap solution, it is a 4 layers SMD board designed according to industry standards to withstand electrical noise and difficult operation environments. We didn't design it having as a last resource the manual reset (remove battery to restart...) typical of portable phones.
