Product Description
MOSCAD (MOtorola SCADa) is the Motorola
product specifically designed to the specifications of
the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems.
Motorola's family of MOSCAD Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
can provide you with turnkey solutions that include a large
number of RTUs, versatile control centers, third party
smart sensors, IEDs, and virtually any process controller
unit. MOSCAD was specifically designed as an expandable
SCADA system to help you enhance the performance of your
remote installations.
Key Capabilities
- Modularity for easy configuration
MOSCAD's modularity allows for system configuration optimization
according to the specific and unique requirements at
your particular site. Our large selection of plug-in
I/O modules allows you to configure each remote site
to run the specific applications you need.
- Dual Functionality
MOSCAD can function as both an RTU and a Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC). If the application loaded into
the CPU module is simple, then MOSCAD functions as
an RTU; if the application utilizes a decision-making
code, then MOSCAD functions as a PLC.
- Diverse Connectivity
MOSCAD connects directly to VHF, UHF, 800 and 900 MHz
trunked and conventional radios, Private DataTAC modems,
iDEN, TETRA, GSM, Power Line Carrier Communication
(PLCC) modems, Multiple Address System (MAS) data radios,
and Spread Spectrum radios. Our specialized I/O modules
provide connectivity to both digital and analog sensors.
- Motorola Data Link Communication (MDLC) Protocol
MDLC, a modern and powerful data communications protocol,
is based on the International Standards Organization's
seven-layer protocol recommendation. It was created
to be particularly robust on crowded, shared two-way
radio communication circuits. Its seven-layer OSI/ISO
compatible structure allows powerful networks functions.
MDLC supports:
- Integrated networks with wireline, LAN, and wireless
communication links
- Monitoring of unsolicited messages
- Synchronous and asynchronous data communication
- RTU-to-RTU communications and RTU links to multiple
control centers
- Multi-session communications, allowing execution
of simultaneous operations
- Store and forward (S&F) and routing data
using RTUs as nodes in the network
- Accurate synchronization and reporting of time-stamped
events with 1 ms resolution
- Interoperability
The MOSCAD family of RTUs is capable of communications
with other vendors' PLCs, IEDs, and RTUs, by utilizing
MODBUS, Allen Bradley DF/1, and other protocols. MOSCAD
allows you to integrate new SCADA systems or expand
existing ones, utilizing your current communication
media, Master Control Center (MCC) software, and the
most suitable data protocol.
- MOSCAD Toolbox Programs
MOSCAD Toolbox programs are a powerful set of tools used
for application program development, to set up and
monitor your system, and to run diagnostic tests.
- Sturdy Enclosures
The MOSCAD RTU is packaged in a rugged housing to withstand
harsh outdoor conditions. These enclosures are made
from high quality materials such as painted metal,
stainless steel, plastic, and fiberglass and are available
in three-module and six-module sizes. A rackmount configuration
that can be expanded to accommodate up to 67 modules
is also available.
