Advantages• Remote access to distant facilities and

locations to enable control and monitor-ing from a central location and reduce the need to dispatch technical experts on site, thereby permitting OPEX savings

• Usage of all WAN types, also in redundant configurations: dedicated lines, radio (e.g. WiMAX), dial-up networks, Internet DSL, GPRS

• Storage of data messages, including time stamps

• Maximum flexibility via scalable RTU system with further field instrumentation, e.g. pressure, flow, cathodic protection, etc.

• Reduction in OPEX, because there is no cable maintenance

• Provides event-driven transmission of process data between individual PLCs and the control center

• Increased efficiency: data buffering at all communication levels

Telecontrol for efficient and remote supervision of gas or oil pipelines

Using wireless remote communication for data transmission alongside pipelines means in-dependence from cabling and from the disadvantages of maintaining them. Even in places where cabling is not an option, for example, due to the environment, reliable wireless monitoring can be implemented to allow fast reaction times to changing demands.
