Typical Modem SCADA Applications
In remote settings or difficult-to-access sites, acqu iring and
responding to process control and alarm data can be
challenging and costly. For b oth system integrators and
OEMs, the QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1620 Satellite Dat a
Modem provides real-time, low co st, bi-directional data
communication solution applications in re mote locations for
fixed or mobile use.
The GSP-1620 modem lets you retrieve data automatically
from remote sites. Unmanned sensors con nected to the
GSP-1620 modem can monitor remote operations and initiate
alert notifications.
Table 1-1 lists some typical R emote Monitoring and
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SC ADA)
applications.
Figure 1-1 depicts a typical use of the GSP-1620 modem fo r a
SCADA application using packe t data.
