CMS-10R: Remote monitoring and remote switching via mobile network (2G/3G/4G) for industrial and building technology - push, SMS, voice, call-in controllable.

CMS-10R 4G Relay Documentation

The CMS-10R is a remote monitoring and switching device for industrial and building technology. It reports status changes of the digital or analogue inputs via the existing mobile network by push, e-mail, SMS, voice or pager notification. The outputs are controlled via push notification from a web browser or smart app. Appropriately configured outputs of the relay can also be addressed via the call-in function. The CMS-10R automatically selects the mobile network generation (4G, 3G, 2G) with the highest field strength on site.

The CMS‑10R features several status indicators showing the current operating state of the device. The indicators are labeled on the device and provide information about inputs I1 to I6, outputs 1 to 4, the mobile network connection (2G, 3G, 4G), as well as the device status (RUN) and the operating or firmware status (STAT).

Status indicators inputs I1 to I6

Each of the 6 inputs has its own status indicator. The inputs are labeled I1 to I6 on the device.

Digital inputs

I1–I6 not lit
Status: input value corresponds to logic level 0 (low)

I1–I6 lit
Status: input value corresponds to logic level 1 (high)

All relevant documents for the CMS‑10R are available directly on the product page of the respective device.

In the product view, you can access the following documents, among others:

  • Datasheet
  • User manual
  • CAD data
  • Service profiles

The inputs and outputs of the CMS‑10R are designed differently.

The inputs are not potential‑free.
They must be operated with the same potential used to supply the device itself. A separate or isolated power supply for the inputs is therefore not supported.

The outputs are potential‑free.
They are implemented as changeover contacts that can be used independently of the device supply voltage. This allows external loads or control signals to be connected flexibly.
