SAT120 Satellite/Cellular Modem and RTU

The SCADALink SAT120 is a versatile low-power satellite and cell terminal. It is a SCADA device that provides Modem, RTU, and Alarm Callout functionality in a single product. It is designed for remote SCADA communications, monitoring I/O and RS232 / RS485 serial devices. Dual mode satellite and cellular operation with automatic fail-over in a single integrated device makes the SAT120 ideal for SCADA or mobile applications requiring high availability.

SAT120 Modem

• Remote connectivity to serial devices such RTU, PLC, Flow Computers, and Data Loggers from the customers centralized SCADA application.
• Satellite modem with 2 serial ports: COM0(RS-232) and COM1(RS-485).
• Serial ports accessed as IP socket connections in IPMux or Virtual Serial Mode via the SatSCADA Server for SCADA communications.

SAT120 RTU

The SAT120 has Modbus RTU function for monitoring integrated I/O or Serial Connected I/O.  Integrated I/O consists of 4 universal inputs ( AI/DI/D0) , Supply Voltage, & RTU Temperature. External serially connected devices can be polled by the SAT120 Modbus Master using Modbus RTU protocol on COM0 (RS232) or COM1 (RS485) serial ports and mapped to the SAT120 Modbus Register Map.  The SAT120 concentrates all data in a single Modbus register map and TAG database.

SAT120 Alarm Callout

SAT120 can be configured to generate callout messages on Alarm Conditions on configured tag points in the SAT120. Alarm Callout Feature of the SAT120 can be utilized to provide Alarm Callout function from a single alarm point connected to integrated SAT120 I/O to multiple Modbus registers polled from RTU/PLC at larger remote facilities.

When an Alarm Callout message is generated, all TAG point data is updated along with the TAG point that generated the alarm. Callout Messages are sent from SAT120 to the SatSCADA Server where customers can interface from their SCADA Host via the SatSCADA Client using modbus or monitored using the SatSCADA Notifier to generate email or SMS notifications. SAT120 works with SCADALink SatSCADA Server software to provide a complete end-to-end satellite networking solution, allowing SCADA Hosts to reach SAT120 terminals located anywhere in the world.

SatSCADA Server/Gateway

SatSCADA Server acts as a network bridge to provide Customer SCADA Host with easy, secure access to remote SAT120 units. Client provides secure Authenticated Access to Customer’s Terminal via HTTPS (No VPN required) Server provides Monitoring and Alarm Notification function when a customer does not have or want to interface to their own SCADA Host system. Server can be configured as Modbus Slave or Full Transparent Data Mode.

Dual Mode Satellite/Cellular Communications with Automatic Fail-Over

The SAT120 Terminal has dual mode Satellite/Cellular communications functionality.  It can be used in Satellite Only, Cellular Only, or Sat/Cell Automatic Failure Mode.
