How SCADA Collects Data from RTUs: A Field-Proven Guide

PLC /

SCADA talks to RTUs over a wired/wireless link using an agreed protocol (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104). Tags in SCADA map to RTU registers/points. Data is acquired cyclically (polling) and/or event-driven, then archived, visualized, alarmed, and used for control. 1) Typical Topology Layers: Field sensors & actuators — transmit process values (AI), states (DI), and

Design Considerations for Two-out-of-Three (2oo3) Signal Desynchronization Alarm Logic

Instrumentation /

1. Introduction In modern industrial automation and process control, redundant sensors are widely deployed to enhance system reliability and safety.For critical measurement parameters—such as temperature, pressure, and liquid level—two-out-of-three voting logic (2oo3) is commonly used. This architecture employs three independent sensors measuring the same variable and determines the valid reading when at least two sensors

Ten Critical Factors for Accurate Pressure Gauge Calibration

Pressure Transmitter /

Reliable gauge calibration isn’t just about applying a reference pressure and writing down numbers. Accuracy class, pressure media, contamination control, elevation head, leak checks, mounting position, how you generate pressure, pre-cycling, gas thermodynamics, and even wrench torque all matter. Get these right and your results will actually reflect reality. 1) Know the Accuracy Class (and
