New useful application: HWg-Upgrader

HW group has developed the HWg-Upgrader application which allows a mass firmware update/upgrade and configuration of HWg devices via Ethernet.

HWg-Upgrader

• Allows mass HWg devices firmware update/upgrade via Ethernet.
• Devices for upgrade can be selected:
• Using UDP Setup – searches for devices in local network
• Based on a list of IP addresses (txt file)
• Can filter devices from the list based on device type or based on their firmware version.
• Can install downloaded firmware file or use a central HW group register.
• configuration XML can be uploaded

HWg-Upgrader is then a suitable tool for large projects and corporate systems administration.

New product: Expander 4xDI 1W-UNI

Expansion module for connecting dry contacts to 1-Wire UNI (RJ11) bus. It's an expansion box connecting 4 dry contact inputs to Ares and Poseidon units. Connect another button, door contact, smoke detector etc. to the 1-Wire UNI bus (RJ11).

OpenNMS - HWg-STE supported

Next SNMP 3rd party software tested with our products. There is new OpenNMS custom plug-in for HWg-STE (IP thermometer). You can find 35 verified and compatible 3rd party applications on our website.

The OpenNMS is enterprise-grade network management application platform developed under the open source model. It is 100% free and open source software that can manage tens of thousands of devices.

HWg-SMS-GW

HWg-SMS-GW is a gateway that enables HW group products to send text message alarms. Send SMS alarms from all HW group products in your LAN. No software needed, works over a LAN at the Box-2-Box (Peer-to-Peer) level. Save administration costs and effort – use only a single SIM for all your devices.

Benefits

• No software needed to send text message alerts, Box-2-Box mode works peer-to-peer over the LAN
• Web-based configuration
• Recipient's phone number is configured in the IP sensor device (software). One HWg-SMS-GW can send messages to dozens of different recipients.
• Supports a “SMS + Ring” function that dials a call to the sms alert recipient's number and lets it ring for a short time
• External antenna simplifies usage in a data center
• Quad-Band GSM modem works with GSM coverage anywhere in the world
• Examples for programmers on using the product are available in the HWg-SDK (Borland C++, MS Visual C, VB, C#, PHP, JAVA and more)

PortBox2

PortBox 2 is a RS-232 and RS485 full serial port to Ethernet converter. The remote serial port can be accessed in Windows as a Virtual Serial Port. Web-based configuration, full RS-232 (9 wires), 9th bit support (virtual parity).

Usage examples

• Remote control of power and other technology over RS-232 and RS-485
• Remote control of displays and signal lights
• RFID card readers, online access control systems
• Vending machines
• Security alarms
• Access control systems
• Barcode scanners

New product: Shock (vibration) sensor

The “Impaq Shock Sensor” detects vibrations, quivers, shocks and similar phenomena. It connects to the DI input of all our products (Ares, Poseidon, Damocles and others). The shock sensor provides numerous configuration options to fit the needs of your application.

I/O Controller 2: Full serial port and I/O to Ethernet

I/O Controller 2 connects a full RS-232(485) serial port and digital I/O to the Ethernet. Configuration is Web-based. The serial port can be used as a terminal server (virtual serial port). Digital inputs and outputs can be controlled over the Web or through Modbus/TCP.

Applications

• Link up to eight buttons / switches with a SW application.
• Connect your RS-232 devices to your LAN – barcode / RFID scanners, serial printers, displays.
• The outputs can, for example, open a door, turn on a horn, or disconnect power – remotely over the network.
• I/O can be controlled over Modbus/TCP from any SCADA system, independently of the serial line
