Telemetry/SCADA/IMS System Licensing

Prices on application.

Each system is limited only by the number of stations and/or points that can be configured within the Master station's database. A telemetry point may be a digital (status) point, an analogue point or a totalised counter point. Each system is fully upgradeable and can be expanded reutilising the existing hardware and software components to accommodate practically any size of database, any number of local/remote workstation users and practically any number of protocols to communicate with a variety of remote devices (outstations, data loggers, PLCs etc.).

The workstation software is supplied free issue, the number of users on a system is controlled solely by the PC6-SQL licensing.

Telemetry Data

Each configured station typically identifies a remote device that has associated with it a number of telemetry points, control points and archived data. As standard the system supports the following types of telemetry and control points.

  • Digital input points, maximum of 1,024 points per station.

  • Analogue input points, maximum of 512 points per station.

  • Totalised input points, maximum of 256 points per station.

  • Digital command points, maximum of 1,024 points per station.

  • Analogue set points, maximum of 512 points per station.


PC6 RTU Systems

All RTU system licenses are intended for use at remote unmanned sites operating as Remote Telemetry Units providing typical outstation and data logging facilities. These systems include all printing, management report, alarm paging, SQL based IMS and associated Web interface functions. An internal text only workstation is supplied to assist configuration, maintenance and system administration.

Small systems are typically based on Mini-ITX (or Nano-ITX) hardware platforms equipped with bootable hard disk drives and data logging solid-state Compact Flash Card drives. Utilising fanless low cost ultra-low power motherboards and solid-state active drives these systems are ideally suited for 24/7 operation (i.e. 'once on always on' systems). Opus Software Limited can provide a variety of turnkey Mini-ITX and Nano-ITX computer systems.

The following RTU system licence groups, with databases ranging from 5 stations and/or 250 telemetry points up to a maximum of 5 stations and/or 5,000 telemetry points, are available.
