Chapter 2 - Introduction

Chapter 2 - Introduction The AD2000 Series products are devices that allow you to enable wireless and wired connections for remote monitoring and control applications. This introduction allows the user to understand some of the features of the AD2000 Series products and how they can be used. It is only an introduction, useful for new-comers to the product and systems. Details on how to use these features are contained in the following chapters. As a minimum requirement read this chapter to understand the basics of systems using the AD2000 Series devices then go to the section which gives a step by step guide to configuring an AD2000 Series based system. This will enable a quick start and leave reference to the details for further study.

What are AD2000 Series Devices? The AD2000 Series are integrated wireless RTU/PLC/Data-Logger devices used for remote monitoring and control and thus suitable for use in Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The module options that are available are designed to suit low to medium I/O applications where secure, efficient and affordable wireless communication links are required to get data back to central monitoring locations. The AD2000 Series device options offer: ‰

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Applications using the AD2000 Series Device The AD2000 Series products are designed for use in remote monitoring and control systems. Such systems can involve distances of a few hundred metres in a factory area, industrial plant or building to several hundred kilometers across a wide area. The applications are extensive and some that the devices used have been applied to are listed below: ‰

Utility water supply systems (e.g. river, dams, pipelines, pressure, flow and level monitoring, pump control).

‰

Underground water bore systems (e.g. pump start/stop control, fault monitoring, flow, pressure and level measurement, diesel generator monitoring and control).

‰

Pipeline leak detection systems.

‰

Electricity pole top circuit breaker and re-closer monitoring and control.

‰

Mobile plant equipment monitoring and control (e.g. ore stacker/re-claimers, cranes, grain silo trippers).

‰

Environmental monitoring (e.g. river flow and level, water quality measurement)

‰

Flood warning/control systems.

‰

Weather monitoring systems.

‰

Oil-field on-shore well level measurement.

Basic System Components There are several basic system layouts that can be formed with the AD2000 Series devices with many possible variations varying according to the wireless network interface that is chosen. Some illustrations of typical system layouts are illustrated in this manual, however, these are to be considered only as basic component configurations and several variations on these are possible. Comprehensive analysis of any proposed system design requirements are available from Miri Technologies. The basic system components are: ‰

Field I/O Interface - Typically, the data is gathered from field instruments (e.g. level, pressure, flow, position) via transducers and input into the I/O channels on the AD2000 Series unit. These signals can be digital (on/off, open/close etc.) or via analogue transducers (e.g. 4-20mA, 1-5V). See the technical specifications section for exact details of the I/O channels supported.

‰

Local Process Control and Monitoring - This is also possible in all the system arrangements discussed as the features are available in all AD2000 series devices. Digital commands (e.g. open/close, start/stop etc.), conditional logic, timer and counters and numerous mathematical functions for analogue control (e.g. valve position, motor speed etc.) can be processed. This is processed locally via local logic (termed PLC Logic), using the Ladder logic language format.

‰

Data-logging - In many SCADA systems there is a requirement to store the exact time an event condition occurred or to periodically store timer, counter and other variable values (e.g. flow totals, run times). The in-built data-logging allows this with extensive scheduled data retrieval utilities available to access the data. A combination of both PLC logic and datalogging is also possible.

‰

Data sharing with other devices - Connections to serial devices (e.g. PLCs, power monitoring instruments and other intelligent electronic devices, IEDs) are also supported where the AD2000 Series devices share a common hardware interface standard (e.g. RS232, RS285 and Ethernet) and a common communications protocol (e.g. Modbus, DF1).

Chapter 2 - Introduction ‰

Data Transfer - The data is transferred via a suitable wireless or wired link to transport it to another location, typically several kilometres away. The distinguishing factor that stands the AD2000 Series devices apart from stand-alone PLC systems is that they are designed to transport data efficiently and quickly via several wireless means, with no additional product required.

The Common Wireless Solutions Available Today There are several “wireless” solutions available today and no doubt many more will appear in the coming years with the growing momentum towards “3G” wireless solutions. This document concentrates on the products and systems available today, since there is much “hype” in the media and many wireless systems we read about do not exist yet. The availability of various wireless systems also varies across countries depending on the level of telecommunications infrastructure available. For example, a wireless solution aimed at the Japan and Singapore markets may not be suited to a solution in Vietnam, Thailand or India. The type of wireless solution to use is also subject to the distance required to transmit data across and the number of times that this data is to be sent (or read). Any wireless based product is also subject to local telecommunication authority regulation and approvals and thus using solutions that have current approval in the country of use must be considered. The AD2000 Series of products provide wireless solutions to those systems most commonly available today, these being: ‰

VHF “Narrow Band” Radio 132-174MHz (typical transmission distances up to 60km)

‰

UHF “Narrow Band” Radio 400Mhz-943Mhz (typical transmission distances up to 30km)

‰

Spread spectrum 900MHz (restricted nations allow this) and 2.4GHz (low power international ISM band coverage used best used for transmission distances up to 1km)

‰

GSM including SMS transmission (global where network is supported)

‰

GPRS (TCP/IP based with mostly national coverage where network is supported)

‰

Satellite using the Iridium Short Burst Data system (global)

How Far Will Wireless Go? This is an often asked question and one that can only be described with accuracy when the actual geographical conditions are considered. © 2007 Miri Technologies All rights reserved.

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Figure 3 - How Far Will Radio Go? If you use the rule of “line of sight”, meaning if there are no obstructions between the two locations then the graphic below illustrates the difference between the different types of wireless solution. The typical maximum range for VHF narrow-band radios without repeaters is 60km, for UHF 30km and for the two variants of spread spectrum, 1-4km (longer distances can be achieved with spread spectrum with ideal topographical conditions and with high gain antennae and high masts). As described already the GSM/GPRS wireless solutions are country wide depending on the coverage of the respective networks in the country of installation. Satellite is the only truly global (with the exceptions of North Korea, Poland and Sri Lanka) coverage system that uses the same network. Note should be taken to understand that in the spread spectrum area, 900MHz systems will have longer transmit distances (up to tens of kilometres) possible compared to 2.4GHz systems (only a few kilometres) and that this difference due to frequency band must be considered when comparing systems. The choice of antennae also has significant influence on the transmit distance but some country authorities restrict the use of high gain antenna at these “open” frequencies.

Radio Modem Based Wireless Systems The most common wireless system using the AD2000 Series devices use internal or external radio modems. These can be UHF or VHF radios (termed “Narrow Band”) and there are also 900MHz or 2.4Ghz spread spectrum (termed “Broad Band”) options available. The physical interface is either FFSK (internal to the AD2000 Series device on Port 1), or RS232. VHF or UHF Radio - Narrow Band ‰

The AD2000 Series units can have an internal narrow band UHF or VHF radio module installed. Specifications are found at Table 13 - AD200xR Narrow Band VHF Radio Module Specifications and Table 14 - AD200xR Narrow Band UHF Radio Module Specifications. The part numbers for such options are of the format AD200xR-xx-xx.

Advantages of “Narrow Band” Wireless solutions ‰

Offers communications to remote locations (i.e. where there is little or no GSM/GPRS/CDMA or landline telephone based communications coverage).

‰

Offers greater range with up to 30km for UHF and 60km for VHF with greater range when repeaters are used (hundreds of kilometres have been achieved in some applications).

‰

Offers a “protected” frequency band that the user is legally entitled to use and is protected from interference (essential for control based systems or critical monitoring systems). The protection is being offered by the granting of a license from the appropriate country government telecommunications regulatory authority.

Chapter 2 - Introduction ‰

Offers an equivalent GSM/GPRS//CDMA (as well as land-line) alternative and is cheaper in terms of annual operating costs and hardware (i.e. no call connect costs or charges per megabyte for data). Essentially, once installed this narrow band wireless solution is “free” to run.

‰

Can be connected more quickly than GSM/GPRS/CDMA, requiring in most cases minimal installation (i.e. you do not have to wait for telecommunications carrier action or contracts to be enabled).

‰

Offers greater portability and mobility where the user can move terminals around his plant.

‰

Radio capital cost is equivalent to or cheaper than GSM/GPRS/CDMA in hardware capital costs.

‰

The user owns the data transport equipment and pays only for radio licensing.

‰

The user is in control of the communications medium and its availability (i.e. you do not have to rely on the telecom company which is important for control based systems). System shutdowns are in the user’s control not the carrier’s and thus can be planned into maintenance schedules.

Disadvantages of “Narrow Band” Wireless solutions ‰

The user must fund the infrastructure costs of putting up masts and installing antennae.

‰

Requires technical competence in radio based systems to ensure correct design.

‰

Lower over the air data rates compared to some spread spectrum systems.

Spread Spectrum Radio - Broad Band ‰

The AD2000 Series units can have an internal 900MHz or 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum module installed. Specifications are found at Table 12 - AD200xS Spread Spectrum Wireless Module Specifications. The part numbers for such options are of the format AD200xS-xx-xx.

Advantages of “Broad Band Spread Spectrum” Wireless solutions ‰

License free so low cost to install and quick to install.

Typical radio modem based system layouts are described in the following sections. Point to Point System layout This is the basic system layout as illustrated below:

Figure 4 - Master/Slave Point to Point System Arrangement Two remote sites are connected by internal or external radios and the data is transmitted across one data link. Data can be transmitted continuously or periodically with events.

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Figure 6 - Master/Slave Point to Multi-Point System Arrangement Several remote sites are connected by internal or external radios and the data is transmitted across the data link to one central location. That central location can be a PLC or DCS control system or an HMI or SCADA software package. Data can be transmitted continuously or periodically with events. Store and Forward System layout In radio based systems in some cases there cannot be direct links between all remote sites. This may be due to a building or hill interrupting the radio path to such an extent that the signal received is too weak for reliable operation. In many cases alternate paths do have good signal strength and these can be used to route the data signals via other remotes in the system. This is known as “store and Forward”. This is illustrated below:

Figure 7 - Store and Forward System Arrangement This technique can also be used in situations where the distance between remotes is long, as in pipelines. This system layout is available for VHF/UHF radio and Spread Spectrum configured AD2000 Series devices. It is not required for GSM/GPRS systems.

Chapter 2 - Introduction This technique is useful when multiple links are required, one after the other in the same direction, e.g. a pipeline. It does not suit arrangements where the data update times are critical as there is a delay induced at each intermediate station as it re-transmits the data. This delay must be accounted for at the transmitting end by lengthening the reply timeout to account for the longer response from the remotes due to the re-transmitting. The store and forward process is carried out at the radio level, no data variable values are written to the memory of the intermediate AD2000 Series devices. Polling of the intermediate data variables is still possible and can be identified in the MiriMap2000+ software by turning on the display of parcels in the Display - Links main menu option. The following diagram illustrates a Multi-hop Store and Forward system arrangement.

Figure 8 - Multi-hop Store and Forward System Arrangement Whilst, in theory, this technique can result in a system with many linked hops, if the layout becomes too complex, a more suitable system would be to include a repeater in the system if the topography suits. It should also be noted that Store and Forward systems suit simplex frequencies (same transmit and receive frequency). If duplex frequencies are used (different transmit and receive frequency), each hop must have an opposite transmit and receive frequency to the preceding and subsequent device along the line. Repeater Based System In many radio based systems, wide area coverage is required to all remotes. The store and forward layout illustrated in the previous section will suit situations where a few remotes sites are out of range. In the case where all sites require coverage aa repeater based system can be a better proposal. The use of local terrain or infra-structure can be used to locate radio based repeaters at a high point in the area (e.g. hill top, high building, water tower). Such repeaters will allow all remotes to send the data via them and the maximum power output to be used for maximum range. Using repeaters forces all units to communicate via the repeater and often this requires redundancy or standby hardware to ensure the system is operational in the event of component failure. It is essential that duplex frequencies are used for repeaters and that all remotes have the same transmit and receive pairing of these two frequencies. Often the repeater has the transmit frequency keyed up constantly. This ensures faster system polling and stable receive signal strength measurement at the remotes. This is illustrated in the following diagram:

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Figure 9 - Repeater Based Radio System Arrangement This system layout is available for VHF/UHF radio and Spread Spectrum configured AD2000 Series devices. It is not required for GSM/GPRS systems. Sub Master Systems Where a large number of remotes are to be part of a system across a wide geographical area, they can be sub-divided into smaller systems. Each sub-system can use the more moderately priced data radios with a lower bandwidth and data rate to gather from remote sites back to a sub-master AD2000 Series device. Typically these units only have to process smaller packets of data (10-30 words) and can be configured in numbers to promote a rapid system update to a sub-master unit This in turn could form a slave mode connection to a master AD2000 Series device on higher data radio backbone. Here the amount of data transferred is larger in packet size and thus benefit from the higher data rate and can be justified in the higher costs. An example of this is illustrated in the following diagram:

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Public Wireless Based Systems The major development of wide area wireless networks available through public networks installed by telecommunications companies allows connectivity for some SCADA based systems. Initial developments use the GSM network and the extended TCP based data capabilities of GPRS. GSM or GPRS Modem The AD2000 Series units can have an internal GSM/GPRS modem module installed. Specifications are found at ‰

Table 15 - AD200xG GSM/GPRS Modem Module Specifications. The part numbers for such options are of the format AD200xG-xx-xx.

GSM Wireless solutions This is by far the most common mobile phone standard and is a “world-wide” wireless network. It is a “common carrier” wireless service and compliments or replaces the traditional “wired” landline based telephone services we are all familiar with. It is “global” and can be used to send/receive data across and between countries where the GSM network has been installed. To access the network the user pays a contract to use the infrastructure that has been installed by a telecommunications company. It is a connection based system where the user has to dial a number, make a connection then send or receive data and thus it is relatively slow and can only be used for historical data updates not real-time. The user is charged based on the length of time connected. The network must be “data services enabled” for the types of applications the AD2000 products are used on and some telecom carriers charge extra for this service compared to a basic voice GSM contract. The network data rate is limited to 9600 bps. The GSM network is an “easy” network to interface to and there are several products in the marketplace that offer data transfer solutions. The one added “feature” is the Short Messaging Service (SMS) that the system offers. Here short text messages can be sent to any hand-phone on the network with, for example, alarm data. This provides a “quick and easy” alarm system without the need for elaborate SCADA or HMI systems to be installed. The only issue with SMS is that it is not a guaranteed delivery service and thus cannot be 100% reliable. Using GSM services with the AD2000 Series devices allows units to be connected together in Point to Point and Point to Multi-Point network arrangements. Normal device to device parcel based data transactions are possible using data enabled SIMs, much like a dialup modem connection. Here one device initiates the connection periodically or on event, connects to the remote device and reads or writes the data required then disconnects. It I also possible to send device to device read and write commands via SMS text messages. This varies from the traditional parcel based data transactions described throughout this manual, however does offer a simplified system where only basic GM services are available. In all GSM systems, SMS text messages can be sent to or read from mobile phone hand sets to enable human interrogation and control of the AD2000 Series devices and any equipment connected to the I/O terminals and serial ports.

Figure 11 - GSM Based System - Typical Layout Advantages of “GSM” Wireless solutions ‰

Offers communications to country-wide locations (i.e. across larger distances in the region of hundreds of kilometres that narrow band and spread spectrum solutions cannot transmit across).

‰

Offers greater portability and mobility where the user can move terminals around his plant or plants.

‰

The user does not have to fund the infrastructure costs of putting up significant masts and installing antennae.

‰

“Quick” and “easy” to implement if the GSM service exists in the area of installation.

Disadvantages of “GSM” Wireless solutions ‰

Monthly contract costs are required.

‰

Connection time costs are incurred and these can be significant with increased activity which can be difficult to predict and control.

‰

Slow data updates and not practical for real time monitoring other than using SMS for alarm indication.

GSM Service Requirements for use with AD2000 Series Devices To connect an AD2000 Series device to a GSM network a Data Enabled SIM is required if AD2000 Series to AD2000 Series connections are required. In some telecom carrier systems this is a separate number compared to the voice number. If SMS only messaging is required then a normal voice only SIM card can be used. GPRS Based Systems General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a mobile data service available to users of GSM mobile phones. It is often described as "2.5G", that is, a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony. It provides moderate speed data transfer, by using unused TDMA channels in the GSM network.

Chapter 2 - Introduction GPRS is different from the older GSM Circuit Switched Data (or CSD) connection discussed in this document. In CSD, a data connection establishes a circuit, and reserves the full bandwidth of that circuit during the lifetime of the connection. GPRS is packet-switched which means that multiple users share the same transmission channel, only transmitting when they have data to send. This means that the total available bandwidth can be immediately dedicated to those users who are actually sending at any given moment, providing higher utilisation where users only send or receive data intermittently. Web browsing, receiving e-mails as they arrive and instant messaging are examples of uses that require intermittent data transfers, which benefit from sharing the available bandwidth. Usually, GPRS data are billed per kilobytes of information transferred while circuit-switched data connections are billed per second. The latter is to reflect the fact that even during times when no data are being transferred, the bandwidth is unavailable to other potential users. Packet-switched data under GPRS is achieved by allocating unused cell bandwidth to transmit data. As dedicated voice (or data) channels are setup by phones, the bandwidth available for packet switched data shrinks. A consequence of this is that packet switched data has a poor bit rate in busy cells. The theoretical limit for packet switched data is approx. 160.0 kbit/s (using 8 time slots and CS-4). A realistic bit rate is 30–80 kbit/s, because it is possible to use max 4 time slots for downlink. A change to the radio part of GPRS called EDGE allows higher bit rates of between 160 and 236,8 kbit/s. The maximum data rates are achieved only by allocation of more than one time slot in the TDMA frame. Also, the higher the data rate, the lower the error correction capability. Generally, the connection speed drops logarithmically with distance from the base station. This is not an issue in heavily populated areas with high cell density, but may become an issue in sparsely populated/rural areas. Telephone operators have priced GPRS relatively cheaply (compared to older GSM data transfer, CSD and HSCSD) in many areas, such as Finland. Most mobile phone operators don't offer flat rate access to the Internet (with the notable exceptions of T-Mobile and Cingular in the United States), instead basing their tariffs on data transferred, usually rounded off per 100 kilobyte. Typical rates vary wildly, ranging from EUR €1 per megabyte to over €20 per megabyte. In the U.S., T-Mobile offers US$30 per month unlimited GPRS. In India, BPL Mobile (Bombay) offers unlimited GPRS for Rs.500 (USD 11) per month. Orange (UK) offers a 1 Gigabyte package for £88 a month. In Poland, Era GSM offers a 2 Gigabyte package of GPRS and UMTS transmission under Blueconnect brand for €30 a month and Plus GSM offers a 1 Gigabyte package for €15 a month. GPRS Data on pre-paid packages is usually expensive, and limited to WAP and MMS. Full internet access, allowing Web browsing, access to POP/IMAP mail, FTP and other mainstream Web applications is usually restricted to contract packages, and are made available at lower cost. The maximum speed of a GPRS connection (as offered in 2003) is the same as modem connection in an analogue wire telephone network, about 4-5 kB/s (depending on the phone used). Latency is very high; a round-trip ping being typically about 600-700 ms and often reaching one second round trip time. GPRS is typically prioritized lower than speech, and thus the quality of connection varies greatly. In order to set up a GPRS connection, a user needs to specify Access Point Name (APN), user name and password, and very often an IP address, all provided by the network operator. For the purposes of AD2000 Series usage on GPRS systems a static IP number must be assigned as this simplifies the networking to identify each device in the system. An example layout of the AD2000 Series devices attachment to GPRS based networks is shown in the following diagram:

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Figure 12 - GPRS Based System - Typical Layout - No Carrier Hub The GPRS network will allow TCP or UDP networking packets to be used to transfer the data between a central location and remote sites. The connection from the AD2000 Series devices is enabled by an internal GPRS modem located inside the AD2000 Series device casing. The part number for these is AD200xG-xx-xx. External GPRS modems can also be used as long as the modems used support the same GPRS AT command set (refer to [email protected] for further details). A direct TCP packet connection can also be achieved if the GPRS telecom provide can enable direct access to their network a illustrated in the following diagram:

Chapter 2 - Introduction Each device must have a Private Static IP enabled SIM service on an Access Point Name (APN) assigned network domain. APN is the name of an access point for GPRS. Please note the term used is “Private Static IP”. This term “Static IP” should not be confused with a static IP address on the public accessed internet. These can be expensive to obtain due to the lack of global IP number availability. In the case of the suggested GPRS networks for SCADA usage a “Private Static IP” number is only required and these are easier and cheaper to obtain from telecom providers. A Private network is a domain setup by the telecom carrier, accessible to only the telecom carrier and thus they can assign as many static IP numbers as they wish. No public access is available. This helps with security issues as well a most SCADA provider companies don’t want public access to their asset network? The data, once retrieved, can be made available on the public internet via appropriate web server software packages. Support for UDP or TCP packets exists. Using UDP will reduce the byte count per packet by approximately 20 bytes and thus save on data costs if they are charged on a kilobyte basis. The Scheduler functions within MiriMap2000+ can be used to read data-logged data periodically via GPRS systems, exporting the data to .CSV files for further use and development. A periodically polled system with events can be used to create more traditional remote AD2000 Series device to AD2000 Series device connections for point to point and point to multi-point systems. Advantages of “GPRS” Wireless solutions ‰

Offers communications to country-wide locations (i.e. across larger distances in the region of hundreds of kilometres that narrow band and spread spectrum solutions cannot transmit across).

‰

Offers greater portability and mobility where the user can move terminals around his plant or plants.

‰

The user does not have to fund the infrastructure costs of putting up significant masts and installing antennae.

‰

“Quick” and “easy” to implement if the GPRS service exists in the area of installation.

‰

Ideal for historical data-log data retrieval based systems where regardless of the actual connection reliability the data since last connection is always gathered on the next successful connection.

Disadvantages of “GPRS” Wireless solutions ‰

Monthly contract costs are required.

‰

Requires service providers to have static IP networks set up on their GSM system network.

‰

Data “used” costs are incurred and these can be significant with increased activity which can be difficult to predict and control (unless some other contract can be negotiated by the end user or fixed priced “unlimited” Mbyte contracts are available).

‰

GPRS is typically prioritised lower than speech, and thus the quality of connection varies greatly if voice traffic is high (e.g. holiday periods).

‰

When the location is far from the nearest GSM cell tower, the connection speed drops logarithmically with distance from the base station.

‰

Not suitable for “real-time” data faster than 5-10 minutes.

GPRS Service Requirements for use with AD2000 Series Devices To connect an AD2000 Series device to a GPRS network a Private Static IP enabled SIM is required if AD2000 Series to AD2000 Series connections are required. Dynamic SIM cards cannot be used.

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Satellite Wireless solutions Satellite has always been the dream “wireless” solution with global coverage being the main attraction. The reality is that most satellite services offer this through a mixture of land based systems and satellite. Many satellite services offer coverage in regions only and the “global” offering transfers data through the existing earth based telecommunications infra-structure. Iridium was a truly global Low Earth Orbiting Satellite (LEOS) system based on 66 orbiting satellites at an elevation of approximately 600 miles above the earth in polar orbits. The only places it doesn't work is North Korea , Poland and Sri Lanka. Iridium was initially a project headed by Motorola in the late 1990’s whereby they developed the system and attracted investors globally. Unfortunately, the project was doomed from it’s inception since management had no idea how to evaluate market demand as it related to price. The system at this juncture cost 5 Billion USD$ and could only attract less than 50,000 subscribers. In the year 2000, the system went into bankruptcy and was almost de-orbited until it was pulled from bankruptcy court in 2001 by a consortium of private investors for 25 Million USD$. The system exists today with handsets and service pricing at dramatically lower costs than initially developed at and has become a marketable success showing close to 100,000 subscribers. Since the US Defence Department had a stake in maintaining the system it’s future under the new owners is assured (it had a $200 million contract to participate in the project and also continues to use the service. It says it spent $140 million building its own gateway in Hawaii and paying Motorola to run it, and buying 3,000 satellite handsets). The Iridium system was a significant component to media and military communications in the recent war in Iraq. The Iridium Satellite System is the only provider of truly global, mobile satellite voice and data solutions with complete coverage of the Earth (including oceans, airways and Polar regions). The constellation is now managed by Boeing under an engineering contract and works through one down linking gateway located in Tempe, Arizona. USA. The service is ideally suited for a variety of rural and industrial applications, covering a wide range of vertical segments which includes: construction, media, government, defence/military, EMS, marine, mining, forestry, oil and gas, aviation and so on. Although predominantly voice based, the Iridium network also has some unique data service features when compared to other satellite services (such as Inmarsat etc.). Miri Technologies is working closely with Iridium service providers to utilise their Short Burst Data (SBD) system that allows large packets (1900 bytes) of data to be sent from remote locations to a central server via the Iridium network and then onto email recipients world-wide. This would allow remote users to retrieve periodic data information from sites throughout the world and have the data available at any corporate network headquarters.

Data Gathering Techniques In many remote monitoring applications data is generally collected in real time. Typically there is a central monitoring site that gathers the remote location data. There could be tens of remote stations and one central location. The terminology typically used is that one AD2000 Series unit acts as the “master” and there can be one or several “slave” devices. These can be in the form of any of the layouts discussed in the section on typical system layouts. There are also many remote monitoring applications where data is generally collected locally to the remote device, stored with a time stamp on each record and that data is retrieved periodically via the data communications link. Here the critical factor is not knowing, at the central monitoring location what happened at the instant an event occurred but to know the sequence of events at a later date. This is ideal for water supply systems where changes over a period of time are accumulated locally to the remotes (e.g. flow totals, pressures, run-hours etc.). Using a combination of periodical scheduled data-log gathering with events for critical alarms a system which conserves bandwidth and limits air time costs can be design (especially useful on GSM/GPRS based systems). Several options are available in the AD2000 Series system software to get the data across the networks that are formed by the AD2000 Series devices: Continuously Polled The Master will “poll” the slave devices requesting the data. This data poll can be continuous or periodic. Continuously polled systems are best suited where the fastest possible update time is required. The restriction is that on larger systems (100+ slaves) the time to get event changes can be long, depending on how long the polling cycle takes. Periodically Polled (with events) The Master will “poll” the save devices at pre-determined times (e.g. every 10 minutes, every hour, every day) as set in the polling cycle of the Master AD2000. In between the poll there is no activity. This allows events at the slaves to get access to the master AD2000 in between polls to send event changes. The restriction here is that if events are sent during the time a Master is polling they may not get through. To avoid losing event data, event data packets should always be duplicated with polled data packets. This is a system feature suited to modem based systems (e.g. dial-up, GSM and GPRS). Broadcast Event Polling This is a unique feature to the AD2000 Series products that can be used only on radio systems where all slaves will be able to “hear” the Master polls. The polling sequence is the same as a regular poll where the Master will “poll” the slave devices requesting the data. In between polls a “Broadcast” for events request from the slave devices is sent. Any slave will send events queued to the Master. This will provide faster event updates from the slave AD2000s than in the normal periodically polled systems and ensures all events get through.

Chapter 2 - Introduction Scheduled Data-log Reading In any real-time system, when data is gathered it is presented to some form of SCADA or HMI software application. This software will add a time stamp for the day and the hour, minute and second for use in the local HMI/SCADA alarm database. In most cases there is a slight delay between the actual event taking place in the field and the time this software application applies that time stamp. Where the update time is fast or where the delay in this time-stamp is not an issue then most systems can tolerate the delay. Many systems are less concerned in having the data read in “real-time” but do require the actual time the event or the value was recorded to be used. The AD2000 Series devices have internal data-logging capabilities and can store tens of thousands of sampled events or values and text messages. Typical system applications that can use this feature are weather and environmental monitoring, water supply, waste-water and flood monitoring systems. The system arrangement used is to run a software scheduler product on a centrally located PC and use it to gather the data-log data from the remote network. The data is retrieved with the historical time stamp attached to each data value or text string recorded at the remote in the data-log memory of the AD2000 Series device. That data is then exported to a Comma Separate Variable (CSV) file format for onward use in analysis or via external programs such as HMI/SCADA software packages.

Figure 15 - Data-log Scheduler System Arrangement A combination of a periodically polled system with events and this scheduled data-log reading of records provides a suitable method of having urgent event data sent in “real-time” and historical data stored and sent occasionally. The advantage in this method is that non-essential data is still gathered, records of data values never lost, the time stamping is accurate and the system bandwidth does not have to accommodate the throughput demands of a continuously polled system. This is ideal for slow to respond, non-critical systems.

Remote Connectivity The AD2000 Series devices can be connected in system configurations that will allow remote “over the air” monitoring and programming. The following diagram illustrates the remote connection capability. Once all the AD2000 Series units in the project contain the same project configuration details from the same project file, each unit is aware of the physical links between them. This is determined by a routing table and thus any changes to the physical links in the configuration should be updated to the installed AD2000 Series units that these change effect.

Chapter 2 - Introduction

Figure 16 - Remote Connectivity Example Diagram In the diagram, the radio network is the primary data connection. However, connecting a PC running MiriMap2000+ to one of the spare communications ports will allow remote connection to the other AD2000 Series units via the radio network. Typically this would be a PC connection to the RS232 port, however this is also possible via the Ethernet port. Remote connections from slave units to other devices is also possible as long as the master device leaves a time slot in communications to allow the remote to access the network. All stations must first be configured with the same MiriMap2000+ configuration file, have unique identifier numbers assigned and have working physical links available between the sites.

PLC Control Functions In many remote monitoring applications there are requirements to perform local control logic on the various field devices that are being monitored. Traditional approaches would be to install a small Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) at the site to do this and connect it to an external modem device. Connecting such devices to external modems (radio, GSM, GPRS etc.) often requires special modules, cables, software and knowledge to implement all of which can add to the engineering process in both time and cost. Since the AD2000 Series devices combine real-time, data-logging and programmable logic capabilities then they can be integrated into a variety of remote monitoring and control systems “out of the box”. The in-built PLC capability is inherent to the AD2000 device via the Ladder logic interface and thus no extra software or knowledge is necessary to implement a remote monitoring device with PLC control. A program in ladder logic, also called a Ladder Logic, is similar to a schematic for a set of relay circuits. Ladder logic is useful because a wide variety of engineers and technicians can understand and use it without much additional training because of the resemblance to familiar systems. Advantages of using the internal AD2000 PLC functions are: ‰

Integrated software package handling all AD2000 Series program and monitoring functions

‰

Integrated communications allowing local and remote “over the air” connections

‰

No other special cables or software

Data-logging Monitoring Functions In many remote monitoring applications there are requirements to store or data-log certain events and memory variables that are being monitored. This could be digital status (e.g. alarms, fault conditions or a required device status change etc.) or counters and analogue values (e.g. rainfall, run hours, tank levels, flows). These values can then be read later, either locally or remotely for analysis or input into a SCADA software system. Traditional approaches would be to install a separate data-logger device at the site to do this and connect it to an external modem device. Connecting such devices to external modems (radio, GSM, GPRS etc.) often requires special modules, cables, software and knowledge to implement all of which can add to the engineering process in both time and cost.

Protocol Connectivity to Other Devices In many SCADA systems the data gathered via the remote monitoring system will be viewed and processed via a SCADA software package or Human Machine Interface (HMI) package. Typically these are installed at the central monitoring station and will host several commonly used industrial protocol drivers to allow the data from the AD2000 Series device to be read from or written to via a suitable interface. The most popular protocols such as Modbus and Allen Bradley (Rockwell) DF1 are supported in the AD2000 Series devices. Other special protocols are also written for special applications and devices. The AD2000 Series devices use their own protocol to enable the routing techniques used for remote programming and store and forward repeating of data. There is an OPC Server available for this AD2000 protocol to allow interface to SCADA and HMI systems that support the OPC Client connectivity (see http://www.opcfoundation.org or further information).

I/O Expansion Modules to Expand AD2000 Series Devices In many situations the on-board analogue and digital Input/Output (I/O) channels on the AD2000 Series modules will satisfy most applications. There are situations where additional I/O are required and the I/O Expansion modules are available for this scenario. These use the RS485 2 wire interface to connect the data link to the main AD2000 Series module. In the case of the AD2000 this requires an RS232/RS485 converter (available as a DIN rail mounted module from Miri Technologies, part number M232-485) between one of the AD2000 RS232 ports and the I/O Expansion module RS485 terminals. In the case of the AD2006 there is an on-board RS485 port designed to connect these modules to. Up to 32 I/O Expansion modules can be supported on one AD2000 Series Device port (subject to the use of correct RS485 cabling and termination). The arrangement is shown in the diagram below:

Figure 19 - Example of I/O Expansion Modules

Wired Connectivity Options Typically the AD2000 Series devices are used where wireless connectivity is required. However, they will be required to pass the data gathered via these networks to traditional wired devices such as HMI/SCADA PCs or DCS/PLC based systems. The wired options available on board the AD2000 Series hardware are: ‰

RS232, RS485, 2wire/4wire FFSK audio and Ethernet

Interfaced to fibre optic systems is also possible via common converters. Some typical connections are suggested in the following diagram:

Figure 20 - Wired Connection Options For further details on the interface options per AD2000 Series device see the Technical Specifications section. Ethernet LAN and WAN connections are also possible between the AD2006 units operating with the Miri2000 or Modbus/TCP protocols in master or slave modes, enabling point to point and point to multi-point configurations.

Chapter 2 - Introduction A typical example using the Modbus/TCP protocol is shown in the following diagram:

Figure 21 - Ethernet Networked AD2006s Using Modbus/TCP The more traditional AD2000 Series device Master to Slave Point To Multi-Point (PTMP) system configuration is also possible on LAN and WAN networks. Typically this has a single master AD2000 Series device with multiple slave AD2000 Series devices. A continuous or periodically polled system can be built in the same manner as described I the manual section Building a System “Network” Map. Chossing the source and destination ports assigned to Ethernet (in the case of the AD2006 this is Port5), the parcels can be constructed between the AD2000 Series devices. The AD2006 devices should be used and the Ethernet ports set up to use UDP. Details on how to set up the AD2006 Ethernet port is available in the section AD2006 - Ethernet Port Set-up. It is important to note that in this arrangement the remote port settings are defined. From the slave devices they point to the Master IP address and for the Master the IP address is set to x.x.x.255 so as to accept all incoming packets and broadcast all outgoing packets.
