TBOX Range
Semaphore’s TBox telemetry systems are designed to leverage easy-to-use web technologies and inexpensive, public networks. They offer up to 50% less total installed cost per point versus traditional SCADA / PLC systems.
TBox combines alarm notification, data logging, integral web server, IP telemetry, and programmable automation in a single, rugged package. TBox uniquely supports a broad range of core functionality:
Using push messaging via e-mail, FTP, and SMS text, TBox will immediately notify users of alarms and live conditions in a reliable manner that minimizes communications networking costs.
For compatibility with existing systems, TBox also supports “pull” messaging using SCADA protocols such as Modbus.An integral web server allows TBox to manage Internet and intranet communications without a front end device and provides a very inexpensive HMI for operations and maintenance.
Programmable Automation using IEC 61131-3 Ladder Diagram, Basic, and Microsoft Windows Automation environments expedite configuration of automation tasks and custom calculations for virtually any remote asset or process.Alarm management and data logging provide live information and historical data to multiple recipients.
Multi-communications via a choice of integral, communication options provide broad compatibility and mean that all remote sites are accessible. TBox communications capabilities allow use in IP forwarding and intelligent sensor gateway applications.

TBox Nano is the latest addition to the industry-leading range of TBox innovative remote telemetry products. The TBox Nano is an ultra-low power wireless telemetry unit designed for remote applications. Servelec Technologies’ TBox all-in-one architecture can reduce installation costs by up to 50% over configurations that combine PLC, communications and SCADA components.
The IP68-rated rugged construction, exceptional battery life and compact footprint mean the TBox Nano is ideal for demanding applications in the harshest and most remote environments.
The TBox Nano accurately logs, monitors and transmits data wirelessly, year after year without charging or replacing making it ideal for applications where reliability is paramount and access is limited. The TBox Nano is perfectly suited for monitoring applications, such as:
Compact size and monoblock construction that can be fixed easily on DIN rail.
The modules connect a wide variety of electrical, electronic, and mechanical devices and sensors –– such as pumps, temperature and pressure transmitters, motors, and more — to computers and applications over standard Ethernet networks (Modbus/TCP), RS485 (Modbus RTU), or other controllers and PLCs.
Each remote I/O module has its own Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP port making it easy to connect the modules to each other with up to 100 meters of CAT5 cable, or even longer distances using fiber optic switches.
There are several types of Ethernet remote I/O modules available with different I/O formats.
