1Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Tait SCADA gateway solution delivers reliable, scalable and secure
two-way wireless communications between a SCADA control system and
the outstation devices on electricity distribution networks. Built on the Tait
DMR Tier 3 trunked network, a SCADA gateway and TD9300 Data
Terminals are added that pass messages between the SCADA control
system and remote outstation devices (RTUs). In this way, the power
distribution network can be monitored so that faults can be quickly
identified and resolved.
A Tait DMR network with a SCADA gateway provides a dual-purpose
network that handles voice for communication with mobile field workers
as well as data for monitoring and controlling outstation devices.
