Controlling a PLC using a mobile phone

georgewelsh · Apr 20, 2006

Hello all,

I've just been tasked with finding out if I can design a system whereby a mobile phone controls parts of a Water Treatment Works via the PLC. I'm pretty new to PLC's although I can do basic programming on the siemens logo. Can this be done, and if so, what kit would I need to make it work.

Many thanks in anticipation

It's possible with an S7-200 and modem to control the system with SMS messages from a cell phone. Check the Siemens MicroAutomation Sets web page at www.automation.siemens.com/microset for examples and configuration sets.

Have you done this yourself??

Cheers

I haven't done it myself, but I have seen it in a demo and it works pretty good. You can set the PLC up to respond to several SMS messages to do whatever control you need.

Maybe a cheaper solution
