Today’s SCADA systems address an ever-expanding scope of applications from remote asset monitoring to distributed process automation, from a single point to thousands of points. To provide the most cost-effective possible solution across all applications, only Semaphore offers a choice of network architectures.
A decentralized architecture is best for remote asset monitoring, process automation and metering. Remote locations often lack infrastructure for power and installation and must minimize communications costs on public networks.
Semaphore’s T-BOX line combines alarm notification, data logging, integral web server, IP telemetry, and programmable automation in a single, rugged package that is perfect for decentralized applications. T-BOX offers up to 50% less total installed cost per point versus traditional SCADA and PLC systems.
Traditional “centralized” SCADA architecture, whether on a flat or hierarchical network, is best for process and utility operations that require live updates throughout the system.
Semaphore’s Kingfisher line provides the industry’s strongest platform for RTU applications in a traditional system. Kingfisher ensures all requirements are satisfied in terms of automation programmability, availability, communications networking, processing capabilities and security.
Whether the installation calls for a single point or thousands of points, Semaphore is the RTU of choice for those desiring traditional or decentralized technology with minimal project delays and risk.
