The Sicon-8 is a modestly-priced, but full-featured dial-up remote control with speech capability and a powerful 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.

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.
