Data-collection

A software application that acquires data from and sends data to

application

various intelligent electronic devices. Abbreviated as DCA.

 

Data-translation

A software application that translates data from one form to

 

application

another (for example digital input to analog input). A data-

 

 

translation application usually has no direct interface to external

 

devices. Abbreviated as DTA.

 

Decimal

A number system having ten symbols, and where values are

 

 

expressed in the base ten number system.

 

Hexadecimal

A number system having 16 symbols, and where values are

 

 

expressed in the base 16 number system. Commonly used to

 

 

abbreviate binary data. Sometimes referred to as hex.

 

 

Hexadecimal numbers are often preceded by the prefix 0x.

 

Master

The client or host station or computer, with which the RTU

 

 

equipment communicates. Also referred to as a host or host

 

 

computer.

 

Non-volatile

A semi-permanent type of data storage (memory)

 

random-access

 

 

memory

that is backed up by batteries to maintain stored data even if

 

 

system power is lost. Can be both read and changed by the

 

 

system. Abbreviated as NVRAM.

 

Port

An interface point connecting a communications channel and a

 

device.

 

Random-access

A type of temporary data storage (memory) that can be read and

memory

changed while the computer is in use. Data stored in random-

 

access memory is lost if the system loses power. Abbreviated as

 

RAM.

 

Read-only

A type of permanent data storage (memory) that can be read but

memory

not altered by the system. Data stored in read-only memory is not

 

affected by power loss to the system. Abbreviated as ROM.

 

Remote terminal

A piece of equipment located at a distance from a master station

unit

to monitor and control the status of outlying equipment, and to

 

communicate the information back to the master station or host.

 

Abbreviated as RTU.

 

Sequence of

A time-tagged change of state, logged as part of a chronological

events

record of significant changes in the condition of a particular point

 

or points being monitored. Abbreviated as SOE.

 

Slave

See sub-remote unit.

 

Source code

A piece of code that has not yet been compiled or assembled (that

 

is, it is still in the language it was programmed in) and so cannot

 

yet run on a machine.

 

Sub-remote unit

A physical device (e.g., peripheral boards, D20 RTUs, non-D20

 

RTUs, meters, or other intelligent electronic device) that collects

 

data, processes it in some way, and communicates it to a master

 

remote unit (MRU). SRUs (also called slave units) are able to

 

respond to commands from MRUs.

 

WESDAC

A module of software that manages the transfer, storage, and
