4G NB IOT/CAT1with GPS – IM51A

Quick Information

Industrial LTE Cat M1 & Cat NB1 & EGPRS Module designed for use with the Brodersen RTU32 Series. IM51A is offering a maximum data rate of 375Kbps downlink and 375Kbps uplink. IM51A is an LTE Cat M1 & CAT NB1 module optimized.

The Brodersen LB2 modules can be used with RTU32N & RTU32M series. The I/O modules are in two parts, the bottom part contains the backplane bus, and the top part contains the I/O board and logic. All LB2 I/O modules are hot plugs. The IM51A is an industrial LTE Cat M1 & Cat NB1 & EGPRS Module designed for use with the Brodersen RTU32 Series. The IM51A has a maximum data rate of 375Kbps
downlink and 375Kbps uplink.

The IM51A is optimized specifically for Utility and IoT applications, with low power consumption. Connection management and maintenance is controlled by the RTU logic to provide a wireless network connection for SCADA communications protocols like Modbus TCP, MQTT, IEC60870, or DNP3. The communication and power interface are via the backplane connectors for the RTU32M and via the front
panel USB 2.0 connectors for the RTU32N. The IM51A has a built-in SIM card slot and two external SMA antenna connectors ensure reliable communication links for both data and GPS antennas.

The IM51A has a watchdog interface for hard resetting the modem – allowing a reset to be external or issued from Logic.
