CircuitWerkes Sicon-8, Recordable, Talking
Remote Control
(with Internet Web Server & Setup/Control
software included)
Affordable
power for every facility
 .
The Sicon-8 is a
modestly-priced, but
full-featured dial-up remote
control with speech capability
and a powerful new
Webserver. The
Sicon-8 can speak in your
staff's language because you
record your own messages.
The Sicon-8 was designed to be a
complete solution for facilities
with basic to moderate control
requirements. All of the I/O,
including 8 channels of relays,
are included on the main board
so there is no need to buy
anything else to use the
product. All metering, status
and control connections are on
depluggable screw terminals. An
expander chassis, the SX-8, adds
eight channels of metering,
status & control to an
existing Sicon-8. Up to three
SX-8s may be added to a Sicon-8
for a maximum of 32 channels.
Designed to be controlled from
the onboard Ethernet interface,
any dial-up telephone or its
serial port, the Sicon-8 gives
you the control options that you
need. The onboard Web server
gives access to all of the
Sicon-8's metering, Status &
basic control functions &
supports several simultaneous
users with 4 different access
levels. The Web server requires
no software other than a
Javascript (not Java) capable
Web browser to operate and works
on multiple operating systems
and browsers. The dial-up
control is based on proprietary
voice recording technology that
lets you record your own
messages, in any language, and
is smoother sounding than most
other voice recording
technologies.
Choosing the right remote
control for your operation is a
big decision. The wrong choice
can be expensive in many ways.
We've created a downloadable
comparison template that you can
use to compare our Sicon-8 to
other brands. The PDF can be

more info about the FREE software interface for
the Sicon-8
The Sicon-8
software can connect to your Sicon-8 via serial
port, Web server or modem. Multi-site capability
lets you monitor multiple sites from a central
location. Software also makes setup a snap, but
the Sicon-8 is fully functional even without the
software.
The Sicon-8's Onboard
Web-server:
The onboard Web server duplicates much of
the Sicontroller software's control
functions and runs on any Java capable
browser.
As shown below, the Web server is designed
to be uncomplicated and will run on
multiple platforms and browsers, provided
that they are Java capable. It even works
on the iPhone's Safari browser. Meters are
updated approximately every two seconds
and the Web server shows the current meter
values, channel status and alarms.
|
The
Sicon-8's Web server allows for 4
different access levels:
Reader - Can not operate any controls. All
controls are hidden from readers.
Controller - Can operate any control on
the main page but cannot perform or access
any setup functions
Administrator - Has access to all
functions, except top level password
changes.
Super-Administrator - Similar to the
administrator, the Super-Admin is the only
one that can change their own password.
This user level is designed to protect
owners from being locked out of the
Sicon-8.
The Sicon-8's internal Webserver can send
email/text messages for alarms and routine
logging.
Hardware logs can be emailed at scheduled
intervals or can be viewed online at any
time.
The Webserver has its own alarm handler,
with advanced new features, and can
perform
action sequences independently from the
main Sicon-8.
Checks its timekeeping against NTP servers
and can automatically adjust the real-time
clock.
