Knowledge Base
The following is a list of introductory information on SCADA and Telemetry technologies:
|
Introduction to SCADA
|
A SCADA system is a common process automation system which is used to gather data from sensors and instruments located at remote sites and to transmit and display this data at a central site for either control or monitoring purposes.
|
|
Wireless SCADA
|
Wireless SCADA is required in those applications when wireline communications to the remote site is prohibitively expensive or it is too time consuming to construct wireline communications.
|
|
Wireless Communications Primer
|
Wireless Communications: Range is dependent on radio transmit power, cables losses, antenna gain, and radio path losses, and receiver sensitivity. A line of site path is desirable but not totally necessary for radio data communications.
|
|
Cellular SCADA
|
Cellular technologies for SCADA may be considered when wide area coverage is required and the cost of alternative technologies (Private Radio systems, Satellite, etc...) is uneconomical.

|
Cellular SCADA & Telemetry
|
With the UNICON product, Bentek Systems empowers the customer with cutting-edge Cellular SCADA and Telemetry technology.
|
|
IDEN SCADA
|
IDEN is a wireless cellular networking technology available from a number of Cellular Providers. IDEN SCADA takes advantage of these features by exploiting the IP services such as SMS email, Packet Data or Wireless web. If Packet Data is used, this enables IP hosts to access their remote equipment via TCP/IP.

|
Satellite SCADA & Telemetry
|
Remote monitoring and control is made easy with Bentek System's UNICON SAT Satellite Modems and UNICON SAT SatServer Software.
|
|
Wireless Instrumentation
|
Bentek Systems is experienced in providing solutions for Petrochemical Plants and Gas Pipeline.
|
|
I/O Telemetry
|
I/O Telemetry systems transmit analog or digital signals and replicate them exactly at another site.
|
|
Wireless I/O
|
Our products are powerful and flexible to ensure that they reliably solve the most complex Wireless I/O problems.
|
|
Alarm Autodialer
|
Alarm dialers (also referred to as ARU, Voice Dialers, Alarm Callout Systems) are systems that dial out on alarm conditions to alert personnel via telephone, pager, fax, or email.
|
|
Modbus Protocol
|
Modbus protocol originally developed by Gould Modicon for their PLC family has become a defacto standard in industrial control communications.
|
|
Internet & Web-based SCADA
|
Internet SCADA or Web-based SCADA makes use of IP technology in SCADA and can range from IP tunnels over satellite, frame relay, fiber, radio to link SCADA networks to central office to individually IP addressed instruments or devices or web-based SCADA Host MMI Software such as NETSCADA.
|
|
License Free Wireless I/O
|
With no licensing delay, no annual licensing fees and channel availability, unlicensed radio communication opens up the opportunity for more widespread use of SCADA and Telemetry applications in the oil and gas industry.
