Acquiring, formating, transmitting and

publishing technical data
Telemetry is a means which makes it possible...
to acquire technical data on installations
distributed on a great geographical area
(status, measurements, counters) ;
to formate
samplings) ;

them

(alarms,

logbooks,

media
protocols

to transmit them automaticaly and in a sure

way to a SCADA, and/or to operators of
maintenance by using different media and
communications protocols ;
to publish them in the form of logbooks,
curves, synoptics, reports ;
to control the operation of the installations
remotely.

Automating installations and water networks

Telemetry is a means which makes it possible...
to automate the local operation of the installations (PLC function)
Interfaces

reports

Technical data
DIG (Digital) : 1 / 0 ; True / False ; Yes / No
Example : contactor On/Of

MEASURE : analogic or numeric value ranging between two limits

Example : level, flow, presure, temperature, pH...

COUNTER : numeric value

Example : operating time of a pump, distributed volume...

DATE : Day / Month / Year Hour : Minute : Seconde

Exemple : 12/14/15 11:25:43

TEXT : alphanumeric character string

Example : THERMICS FAULT ON PUMP 3 DRILLING N 2

The combination of theses informations makes it possible to manage

technical dated data

Transmitting technical data

the informations are transmitted...
from a RTU to another RTU
from a RTU to the SCADA
from the SCADA to the RTU
from the RTU to the maintenance
operators
from the SCADA to the maintenance
operators
from the maintenance operators to the
RTU and to the SCADA

by using different media...

media
protocols

permanent : LL, Ethernet, GPRS

periodical : radio
occasional : PSTN, GSM

and communication protocols adapted to the

transmission of time stamped informations and
to the media.

Publishing technical data

The publication of information consists in making them easily exploitable by the
operators which are in charge of the exploitation and the maintenance of the
installations.
