MWS II – STARBOX is the solution for evolved REMOTE MANAGEMENT, based on advanced information technology and capable of mixing the standard functions of remote control with the more innovative Multimedia and Internet services.

MWS II – STARBOX uses established technological standards in continual evolution, as a guarantee of the quality and lifetime of the investment.

Over and above the traditional functions of remote control, the principal innovative elements are:

• VAST AVAILABILITY OF LOCAL CONNECTIONS

MWS II – STARBOX makes available a vast range of communication possibilities such as ETHERNET, RS232, RS485, USB, CANBUS, ZigBee.

• REMOTE MULTIMEDIA AND MULTI-ACCESS COMMUNICATION

For remote connection with MWS II – STARBOX operational and maintenance centres, the following connections are available: PSTN MODEM, GSM, GPRS, ADSL, CABLED NETWORKS, WIRELESS NETWORKS, RADIO MODEM.

• EXTENSIVE RANGE OF COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

MWS II – STARBOX offers an extensive range of communication protocols, for both local and remote connectivity. MWS II – STARBOX can easily connect to PLC, instruments and local supervisors, as for SCADA operational centres. Moreover, by virtue of the open architecture, it is possible to develop Custom protocols.

• OPC COMPLIANT

MWS II – STARBOX connects to any SCADA running in OPC mode.

• POWERFUL INTEGRATED WEB SERVER

MWS II – STARBOX is fitted with an extremely powerful APACHE WEB SERVER, capable of matching the classic functions of a WEB SERVER with the peculiarities of a RTU.

Using a simple INTERNET browser allows access to REAL TIME variables, REAL TIME trends and synoptic pages.

Moreover, every alarm or important event, as well as the historical acquisition files (Data Logger and Alarm&Event Logger), can be sent to the service personnel via E-MAIL. This individual mode allows for the setting up of a simple remote control without any infrastructural costs.

• EMBEDDED PLC

For the management of control logics, MWS II – STARBOX includes the LADDER language in its set of functions, relating to the IEC 61131-1 standard.

• MULTIMEDIA

By virtue of its evolved architecture, MWS II – STARBOX is open to multimedia applications through the use of VIDEO CAMERAS, PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERAS and AUDIO SETS.

• CUSTOMER APPLICATION TOTALLY OPEN

MWS II – STARBOX operates in an EMBEDDED LINUX environment, and therefore it can host USER applications developed for this environment with widely-known languages, such as C, JAVA, DELPHI...
