TRANSFORM THE SMARTMAX INTO A POWERFUL COST-EFFECTIVE
MINI REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT
Turn your Smartmax M2M HSPA Smart Modem Solution into a cost-effective mini RTU with the
I/O Interface Controller. When used in conjunction with Maxon’s Smartmax Modem for data
telemetry, the I/O Interface Controller provides wide-ranging flexibility for system integrators
and users for automating and controlling innumerable field applications.
Local or remote programming of the I/O Interface Controller can be done via the Smartmax’s
built-in Web Interface. The fully featured web interface includes programming of the DNP3
settings and I/O status updates via SMS.
The SmartMax connects directly to the IO board via a ribbon connection, while the I/O
controller can be wired to collect data automatically and connect directly to sensors, meters,
loggers or process equipment.
The Smartmax coupled with the I/O Interface Controller Board is the ultimate low cost data
logging solution.

A mini usb cable is required for first time purchasers of the Smartmax, as
most of the programming can only be done via the web interface. This is
available in the Smartmax Complete Package (MA-2010C), the Smartmax SDK (MA-7000), and separately. Speak to your Maxon Account
Manager for more information.
