The new modem is designed to operate within Parker Hannifin’s proprietary IQAN hardware / software diagnostic system environment that facilitates easy set-up and running. IQANrun and IQANdesign software provides a fast and simple to use customer interface and enables a standard PC to communicate with the IQAN-G2 modem over the internet via a cloud server. The software allows users to remotely optimise machine performance and includes a range of features to graphically display collected machine measurements and statistics.
Secure encryption of communicated data at GPRS speed ensures true real-time operation and protection of customer assets. IQAN master modules installed on the remotely located machinery are connected to the IQAN-G2 modem via a reliable CAN bus to enable monitoring, control and diagnosis of various aspects of the equipment’s operation.
Suitability for use with a standard, customer selected SIM card further eases the implementation of remote monitoring via Parker Hannifin’s IQAN protocol environment and avoids the problem of expensive roaming costs being incurred.
The flexible IQAN-G2 features quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) operation. The IP65 rated aluminium enclosure has been designed for maximum durability and easy mounting to the equipment to be monitored. It incorporates weather-proof connectors for the CAN/power system interface and GSM antenna. A series of LEDs provide clear indication of modem, CAN, and GSM network status.
