Figure 1-2. Typical Modem SCADA Application Using
Asynchronous Data
For asynchronous data connections, the GSP -1620 modem
can dial or be dialed by a host modem, connecting through the
Globalstar Satellite Communications System and the PSTN.
You can think of the GSP-1620 modem in Figure 1-1 and
Figure 1-2 as a 9600 bps full d uplex satellite modem. The
modem uses typical Hayes AT commands (see Chapter 6, AT
Command Reference). Standard RS-232 interfaces facilitate
ease of use and OEM application integration.
For either packet or asynchronous connections, OEMs
provide the host application (server), which uses the
GSP-1620 modem to communicate with a custom SCADA
application on data terminating equipmen t (DTE) at a remote
site. The host application manages the field processing of
data and reports process exceptions, performance reports,
alarm conditions—in short, any data needed from the
remote site.
