Long Distance Wireless
Effective communications through Telemetry SCADA wireless systems.
Long distance wireless systems are sometimes referred to as Telemetry or Telemetry
SCADA systems. These terms usually refer to centralized systems which
monitor and control entire sites, or complexes of systems spread out over large
areas (large industrial plants, distributed fields or even across countries).
Most control actions are performed automatically by RTUs or PLCs, with Host
functions usually limited to basic overriding or supervisory level
intervention.
Why Choose MatrikonOPC Wireless-Ready Suite
MatrikonOPC Wireless-Ready technology is built to be industrial strength and
easy to use. Our philosophy on long distance wireless communications is that
any product produced by MatrikonOPC must have the ability to deal with extreme
communications environments.
Typical extreme environments would be:
Areas of low bandwidth
Excessive noise
Architectures with a large device count
In order to handle the rigors of these wireless environments, the MatrikonOPC
Wireless-Ready Servers includes the following design features not found in
ordinary OPC servers:
• Multiple communication channels at the same time:
• Direct Serial (RS-232/422/485)
• Radio
• Network (Ethernet TCP/IP and UDP/IP)
• Terminal servers (TCP/IP and UDP/IP)
• CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data)
• Dial-up (including dial-in and dial-out)
• Optimized for low-bandwidth and noisy communication channels
• Supervisory control using single-destination and broadcast commands
• Redundancy:
• Channel redundancy
• Fail-over and Fail-back
• Comprehensive polling engine:
• Poll Management:
• Round-robin
polling
• Interleaved
polling
• Demand

MatrikonOPC Wireless Ready products are currently used in Oil & Gas, Power
and Utilities architectures around the globe because of their reliability and
ease of integration into existing systems.
Wireless Ready OPC Servers
Our MatrikonOPC Wireless-Ready OPC Servers are built to easily adapt to the
above environments, but also to leverage the OPC connectivity of other
MatrikonOPC products. Adding OPC security with
Matrikon OPC Tunneller, or store and forward
historization of data with
MatrikonOPC Buffer is easy and cost effective.
