Signet 0260 DeviceLink™

Signet DeviceLink™ is a cellular gateway and cloud-dashboard solution for remote monitoring up to six 9900/9950 transmitters in any combination up to 36 sensor channels depending on transmitter configuration. It brings process measurements, historical trends, and alarms to an internet-connected phone, tablet, or PC.  With the ability to send unlimited notifications (alarms) vis SMS Text and or email.

It provides remote visibility for installations where a traditional PLC or SCADA system may be too complex or costly, and where routine travel to equipment is undesirable, giving users 24/7-365 visibility to their process virtually anywhere. Simple plug-n-play as an upgrade to existing 9900/9950 Transmitters when equipped with Modbus output modules, or new installations.

Signet 9900 and 9950 transmitters equipped with the appropriate Modbus RTU (RS485) module.

One Signet DeviceLink gateway supports up to six 9900/9950 transmitters in any combination. Depending on the connected transmitter configuration, the system can support up to 36 sensor channels.

Water and wastewater treatment, process water, aquaculture, fume scrubbers and chemical dosing, neutralization, OEM skids/ systems, environmental compliance monitoring, tank farms, well sites, and mining leach pads.

Not necessarily. Signet DeviceLink is positioned as a user friendly, standalone turnkey solution for virtually any application requiring remote monitoring, data logging, trend graphs, and unlimited SMS text and or email notifications without a complex traditional implementation. Existing PLC or SCADA systems can remain where their control and integration capabilities are justified.

No, a local IT-network connection is NOT required for normal cloud communication. Signet DeviceLink uses its own cellular connection, which is why adequate cellular coverage at the installation point is required. The phone, tablet, or computer used to view the dashboard needs internet access.

Confirm coverage at the exact installation location before purchase and installation. Current internal guidance uses a customer phone test first, a coverage-map review when coverage is weak or uncertain, and an escalation review for questionable locations. Basements, metal enclosures, utility rooms, and equipment rooms require extra attention.

Signet DeviceLink requires adequate cellular coverage for normal operation of data transmission. If coverage is weak or uncertain, contact your local GF Automation Area Sales Manager or sales office to discuss available options.

The Signet DeviceLink gateway can store data for up to a month while disconnected and automatically forward it after connection is restored.

There’s a site map,  process values along with color bar graphs, alarm indicators, historical trend graphs, process alarms, data logging with export capability.  With Home, Support, Account Settings, Users, Billing, and Logout screens. Three levels of user access (Admin, Read/Write, or Read Only) with internet connected desktop and mobile devices.

User configurable e-mail and SMS Text alarm notifications, including unlimited recipients. With cloud updates occurring every five minutes.

There is no limit to the number of users or alarm notification recipients you can add to your DeviceLink account. It’s unlimited SMS Texts and e-mail notifications with annual subscription.

Process data is logged every 5 minutes. The logging interval is fixed and cannot be customized.

18 months of rolling data logging  history in the Cloud, and up to 30-days retention on gateway in the event of a temporary cellular outage and updated to the cloud once cellular signal resumes.

DIN Rail mountable Signet DeviceLink gateway modem, cellular antenna with 2m cable, QuickStart guide, and activation. The current order code is 159.002.313 and the manufacture part number is 3-0260-1.

Requires at least one 9900/9950 Transmitter, associated sensors, and a Modbus output module for each transmitter, sold separately.  3-9900.270-M2 Modbus module for the 9900-1P panel-mount transmitter, or 3-9900.270-M3 Modbus module for the 9900-1 field-mount transmitter, and 3-9950.395-M Modbus module for the 9950 series.  The Signet DeviceLink gateway requires 9-30 VDC regulated, switching power supply with surge and reverse polarity protection.

Signet DeviceLink is plug-and-play with compatible Signet 9900/9950 transmitters, and no programming skills are required. Simple intuitive menus for PC’s, tablets, and smart phones.  Installation still requires correct power, transmitter configuration, Modbus wiring, cellular coverage, account setup, and subscription activation.

9–30 VDC, ~150 mA @ 12 V, regulated switching supply with surge and reverse polarity protection.

A standard lead time of 10 business days. Confirm availability and lead time when quoting because inventory can change.

Yes. Additional gateways and transmitters can be added at any time. New devices are added to your existing subscription and share the same renewal date as the original subscription. Charges for newly added devices are prorated based on the remaining subscription term.

Yes. A separate annual Signet DeviceLink service subscription is required to operate the remote-monitoring service and is purchased and managed through the Signet DeviceLink dashboard after activation.

12-month subscription, established at time of activation, is based on quantity of active transmitters connected to Signet DeviceLink gateway, with the first transmitter connected to the gateway treated as the Primary Transmitter; additional transmitters on the same gateway are treated as Secondary Transmitters. Billing updates when additional transmitters are activated. Additional transmitters activated during an existing subscription period are charged on a prorated basis through the end of that period and share the same renewal date.

Using the cloud dashboard, access Billing > Manage Subscription. The billing portal supports viewing invoices, updating billing information, managing payment methods, and cancelling the subscription.

Subscription payments can be made using common payment methods, including credit card and bank transfer.

Yes, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of the subscription period. Cancellation in the billing portal prevents renewal but does not immediately end the current paid term. To stop renewal for a specific transmitter, turn off auto-renewal next to that transmitter’s line in the billing portal. The transmitter remains active until the end of its current paid subscription period.

Yes, standard plans for end users and OEM plans for OEMs or skid builders. The dashboard’s customer-type selection controls access to the appropriate billing workflow; OEM approval is described as required before device claiming and subscription activation. Contact your local GF Automation Area Sales Manager of GF Office for details.

Once everything is wired and turned on, log onto GF.SCADA.Live or use the QR code on the Signet DeviceLink gateway to sign in, select the customer type, claim the DeviceLink, provide required billing details, and activate transmitters. Use the Instruction Manual and set up videos for the detailed procedure.

The local GF Automation Area Sales Manager or local sales office for pricing and terms.

At minimum: exact installation address, cellular conditions at the installation point, transmitter models and quantities, sensor-channel count, required Modbus modules, Standard versus OEM customer type, desired dashboard users and alarm recipients, enclosure needs, and the planned activation date.

No. Data is not recorded while the subscription is inactive because of non-renewal or payment suspension. Reactivation resumes service but does not recover data from that period. This differs from a temporary cellular outage, during which the gateway buffers data for later upload.

Check that notifications are enabled for the required alarm, the appropriate notification group is selected, and the recipients’ email addresses or phone numbers are entered correctly. Adding a dashboard user alone does not configure alarm notifications.

No. DeviceLink does not support relay-status monitoring from 9900/9950transmitters. However, you can program these same alarm values and additional alarm values on the dashboard and receive them as SMS text and or e-mail notifications.
