r of the Internet with modular-based architecture to create a class leading
remote control and automation solution. Equipped with one of the markets most powerful processors, only
T-BOX incorporates Web server technology with SMS reporting and remote control to give you real-time
access anytime, anywhere using a standard web browser.
The result of 20 years of experience in the telemetry industry, T-BOX telemetry products give you everything
needed to create high-performance, yet economical SCADA and control applications. Semaphore
combines IP capabilities with an unmatched software package to transform your measurement and control
ideas into powerful solutions.
Now, you can receive alarms and control your site remotely using a cell phone. Automatic alarm escalation
allows your key maintenance personnel to receive any unacknowledged alarms. With the optional T-VIEW
data aggregator, you can generate reports and trending charts, eliminating the need for historian software.
In addition, our innovative push technology allows you to receive alarms as they happen without ever having
to poll a device. This capability keeps network traffic to a minimum while reducing infrastructure and
network overhead costs associated with traditional RTU networks.
Semaphore T-BOX MS
www.cse-semaphore.com Onboard multimedia capabilities
allow the addition of cost-effective
industrial imaging to your application.
This technology permits the remote
verification of operations on site or
the capture of event driven images.
T-BOX The Web Generation of Telemetry Products
T-BOX MS features Plug & Go technology, allowing you to distribute your full site configuration on an
SD/MMC card. Now you can program and configure a full T-BOX MS system on an SD/MMC card and your
maintenance personnel can deploy it without switching on a computer.
The T-BOX MS system includes:
Onboard web server
technology that
eliminates the need for complex,
costly SCADA software and expensive
HMI displays. T-BOX gives you real-
time access to alarm management,
event logs, I/O status, and control
all from a standard web browser.
Multiple clients can be simultaneously
connected to the same device, all
without costly software licensing fees.
Powerful alarm management
sends alarms to multiple recipients,
eliminating the need for 24-hour site
monitoring. Whether its Monday
morning in the office or Sunday
afternoon at home, the built-in
scheduler enables advanced alarm
reporting according to the set date
and time. Integrated alarm escalation
and auto dialer mean you never
miss an alarm.
Robust, all-alloy construction
that stands up to the harshest
environments. Our specially
developed proprietary alloy
enclosure provides noise immunity,
wide temperature range, impact/
vibration resistance, and DIN-rail
mounting without special tools.
Intelligent uninterruptible power
supply
filters and conditions
incoming power and manages
standby batteries. T-BOX removes
the need for additional power
supplies or battery chargers.
Combining the power of the Internet
with modular-based architecture to
create a class leading remote
control and automation solution. CPU16 or CPU32 Processor modules
Processor modules provide all the computing
power, communications control, and advanced
alarm functionality, including a webserver.

Optional T-VIEW software
T-BOX systems are complemented by T-VIEW an optional software package that provides real-time
centralization of site data plus powerful reporting and charting options. T-VIEW eliminates the need for costly
data historian software and provides access to trending charts and site reports based on your specific
criteria. The T-VIEW aggregator features a standard ODBC interface that seamlessly enables real-time data
transfer with other software packages. With the optional Dream Report plug-in, you can generate statistical
reports based on the data stored in T-VIEWs archives. Dream Reports can also be sent to email addresses
according to a schedule.
T-BOX MS allows you to configure the system the way you want via a modular-based backplane architecture
available in different sizes (5, 10, 15 or 20).
The Most Flexible Communications Options
With a wide range of available modules, and communication options, flexibility is now second nature.
Available modules include power supplies, CPU, input/output, modems (PSTN, GSM-GPRS, ISDN, etc),
RS232/485 serial ports, Ethernet, and GPS.
The built-in GSM/GPRS option provides rich SMS reporting and remote control directly to a cell phone.
Standard serial and Ethernet ports are also available for connection to other devices such as packet radio,
satellite and, PSTN modems.
Communication modules provide remote reporting and communications capabilities to the system and are
available in a variety of configurations.
