SCADA/Telemetry


SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a category of software application program for process control, the gathering of data in real time from remote locations in order to control equipment and conditions. SCADA is used in power plants as well as in oil and gas refining, telecommunications, transportation, and water and waste control.
Telemetry is the wireless transmission and reception of measured quantities for the purpose of remotely monitoring environmental conditions or equipment parameters. The term is also used in reference to the signals containing such data.

Silicon's SCADA system incorporates wireless communications to eliminate leased-line charges, reduce cabling and conduit costs, and improve personnel productivity.

Wireless SCADA and telemetry offers cost-effective solutions to many remote automation applications. Silicon offers a variety of systems that are simple to install and are easily configurable to match specific requirements

Alarm Processors
By interfacing with sensors that monitor conditions, actuators that can adjust processes and intelligent equipment such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Alarm Processors send alert messages to key personnel upon detection of an alarm condition. Messages can be text pages or voice messages sent by radio or telephone. Silicon's Alarm Processors allow personnel to send codes that instruct Alarm Processors to control switches, transducers, or relays. For operations that require timely action, Alarm Processors are an ideal way to alert maintenance personnel.

Wireless Telemetry
As a "wireless conduit", Silicon's Telemetry system provides point-to-point or multi-point-to-multi-point monitoring without the cost of dedicated, leased telephone lines. A remote Telemetry device continuously collects status information about the remote equipment and forwards it to a central Telemetry device. The central Telemetry device transfers the data to monitoring devices, chart recorders, data loggers, etc. Silicon's telemetry system is bi-directional, so control commands can be sent back through the Telemetry system to control remote equipment
