Your SCADA Project

Wireless Data Radios are Ideal. Thanks for looking to Raveon’s SCADA systems.

Tradition SCADA system use wires to Slave Devices:

Wireless SCADA saves cost, improves security, and makes the system more reliable.

Raveon’s data radio modems are excellent wireless connections for SCADA projects that need long range communications.

These SCADA features within Raveon’s wireless modems have many features and advantages:

  • Security. Over-the-air data communication can be encrypted with AES. Each radio modem can have encryption enabled, so no 3rd party can access the wireless system.
  • Radio IDs. All Raveon data radio modems have a 16 bit ID code in them and address mask.  IDs can be used to ensure which radio talks to which radio, or to setup radios in groups. A listen address is also included in each radio so broadcasts to specific groups is easy.
  • Repeater. All Raveon data radio modems have a store-forward option, that can be configured by ID and groups of IDs so a radio modem can be used to store and forward messages.
  • GPS location. All Raveon data radio modems have a GPS option for location and can be configured to periodically report their location and status.
  • TDMA. All Raveon data radio modems have a GPS option for location and TDMA timing.  If fast updates are needed, TDMA slot timing is very efficient and ensure no RF interference.
  • Watchdog. All Raveon product incorporate a hardware watchdog timer, to fully reset the product in case some electrical or firmware problem exists. The makes remote systems very reliable.

 Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) built into Raveon’s Modems

Save money by not having to buy an RTU.  There are SCADA and Telemetry input and output features in the M8, M6, and Tech Series radio modems can be controlled using MODBUS protocol transactions or proprietary commands.  MODBUS messages sent to and from the telemetry devices by the Master Controller. Raveon’s modems can perform as remote terminal units (RTUs) or telemetry devices. They do not act as a Master Controller.

Raveon’s Tech Series data radio modems have GPIO and FIO input/output feature options, and are configurable as needed for complete solutions.
Raveon also Created a Reliable SCADA Products. The Remote Autonomous Cone Node (RAZN) is more reliable than other SCADA devices.

The Data Sheet for all Products are in this Data Sheet Website.

To MIMIC a Sensor that Outputs 4-20mA,

Raveon’s Tech Series CLO interface can output the 4-20mZ signal many miles away.  This Current Loop Output CLO webpage describes this.

Raveon’s GPIO and CLO data radios can mimic a 4-20mA sensor over many miles.  A GPIO input on an RF Modem can MIMIC its current input over to a another data radio RF
Modem with the CLO output on.  

On the GPIO radio, you can connect SCADA Sensors to Monitor that output 4-20mA. The GPIO will mimic the sensor a long ways away to this modem with Current Loop Output CLO that will output the 4-20mA signal in.

Other Unique Features for SCADA Applications in Raveon’s Data Radios:

  • Long Range   On your own private radio network cover 100+ square miles with Raveon’s data radio modems.
  • Remote status monitoring including DC voltage, packet error statistics, modem “up time”, and receiver signal strength.
  • RS-232, RS422, RS485 on all M7 radios. RS232 is standard, and RS422 and 485 options are available.
  • Very fast Transmit-to-Receive turn around.  3mS attack time enables very fast polling in your wireless telemetry system.
  • Easy to use. Plug-in, Turn-on, and GO.  Transmit data in = Receive data out.
  • Complete End-to-End solutions.  Raveon has OEM partners that we can provide you a complete SCADA solution.
  • And more…
  • Connect a MODBUS RTU Master to a IO Controller using Long-Range wireless Narrow-Band or License-Free ISM band modems.

Use Remote Autonomous Zone Node (RAZN) RTUs for you SCADA Project.
