Antenna Masts and Mounting Brackets
Antenna masts and building mounting brackets can be invaluable in raising antennas above obstructions to increase RF signal. Masts can be mounted on unistrut or attached to sides of buildings using BM1 building mounts. -
SCADALink IP100 SCADA Terminal Server / Modbus Multiplexer (Mux)
Serial-to-Ethernet Gateway, Multiport Industrial Terminal Server, Modbus Multiplexer designed for SCADA and Automation Applications.
Overview
BGAN 9502 Satellite Modem: Cost-Effective and Low-Power
Overview:
The BGAN 9502 satellite terminal provides reliable connectivity for highly-remote SCADA applications. The terminal delivers affordable, global, end-to-end IP data connectivity enabling applications in industry sectors such as environmental monitoring, SmartGrid, pipeline monitoring, compressor monitoring, well site automation, video surveillance, and out-of-band management to primary site communications.
Low-Power Operation:
The exceptional low-power consumption (< 1W idle) of the 9502 makes it possible to provide end-to-end IP connectivity to sites that are off the grid. The low-power consumption provides end-to-end IP connectivity to power-challenged locations that rely upon solarbattery arrays involving sensitive power budgets. The BGAN 9502 is ideal for remote solar-powered sites.
Compared to high-speed satellite communications, the BGAN 9502 is a compact-sized device that works in solar-powered sites.
Always-On IP Connection:
BGAN 9502’s always-on IP allows connection to PLC, RTU, and data logger networks, providing full-access and maintenance functionality such as programming, polling, FTP, and web interface.
Ethernet Connectivity:
The BGAN 9502 has an Ethernet port that provides connectivity with any remote TCP/IP SCADA device. Remote sites that require serial connectivity can be equiped with the SCADALink IP100 Terminal Server to provide a bridge between the RS232 / RS485 serial interface to the BGAN 9502’s Ethernet port.
