Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) Networks
Features summary:
 | Small self-contained VSAT satellite communications terminals |
| Includes a 1.6m or larger diameter antenna and a satellite communications
unit |
| Employs a multiple protocol handling Communication Interface Unit (CIU) |
| Optional battery backed solar power charging system |
| Designed to NEMA standards and integrates with most commercially
available Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) |
| A single remote SCADA VSAT terminal can monitor and control a number of
RTUs, all operating on different protocols |
| The SCADA terminal's CIU continuously monitors each attached remote
device, i.e., sensors, switches, gauges, valves, alarms, controllers, etc. |
| Collects and sends relevant data back to the user when polled or
commanded to do so |
| Remote SCADA terminals may be backed up if necessary using dedicated
leased phone lines, dial-up telephone lines or other satellite links |
VSAT SCADA is the ideal solution for:
| Offshore oil drilling and exploration platforms |
| Remote areas such as swamps, jungles and deserts |
| Limited access areas such as rugged mountainous terrain, sites with
extreme meteorological conditions, and government restricted locations |
| Areas with limited or unreliable telecommunications infrastructure |
| Remote monitoring of physical assets status and location using GPS |
| Monitoring and controlling access to secure areas and reporting
intrusions |
NSIS can design and deliver SCADA satellite systems to include every
essential feature for a fixed monitoring station, including:
| Two-way, fully acknowledged satellite link |
| Capability to download RTU parameter values, valve setting and
commands |
| Capability to collect data on a periodic or event-driven basis |
| Password-protected command and data messaging security |
| Capability to monitor and control several devices at a single site |
| Quick, easy installation |
| Self-aligning antenna for fast deployment |
| Capability to incorporate managed data collection services |
