2-2
Choose a Topology
Topology is the geometric arrangement of nodes and links that make up a network. For a SCADA system, choose among point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint topologies.
Point-to-Point
Point-to-point is a communication link between only two stations, where either station can initiate communication with the other, or one station can inquire and control the other.
station DTE modem DCE modem DCE station DTE
Stations can be connected using: cables or permanent public media like leased telephone lines or digital data services temporary connections, such as dial-up lines or microwave, radio, or satellite transmissions Point-to-point is generally a two-wire connection, with the transmission media using two wires for signal transmission/reception. Since a public switched telephone network provides a 2-wire connection, the topology used for a dial-up line is 2-wire point-to-point. TIP Choose this topology if you need a peer-to-peer communication connection, such as a back-up communication link between remote stations at a site and the master station at the control site.
Point-to-Multipoint (multidrop)
Point-to-multipoint is a communication link among three or more stations with one station being a communication arbitrator (master)
2-3
that controls when the other stations (remote stations) can communicate.
master modem
modem remote
modem remote
The stations can be connected using: permanent public media like leased lines or digital data services atmospheric connections, such as microwave, radio, or satellite transmissions Point-to-multipoint connections are generally four-wire connections, with the transmission media using four wires for signal transmission/reception: one pair to transmit and one pair to receive. Private leased lines and digital data services provide four-wire, point-to-multipoint connections. TIP Point-to-multipoint is the main topology for SCADA applications.
Multipoint-to-Multipoint
Multipoint-to-multipoint is a radio modem communication link among three or more stations where there is no communication arbitrator (master) and any station can initiate communications with any other station. This is a special radio modem topology that is supported by some suppliers. It provides a peer-to-peer network among stations.

Choose a Transmission Mode

If you have chosen this topology: point-to-multipoint
The transmission mode defines the way information is sent and received between and/or among devices on a network. For SCADA systems, your network topology generally determines your data transmission mode.
Which means: Information is sent in one direction at a time over the link.
station A transmit receive transmit receive receive transmit receive transmit station B
Then your transmission mode is: half-duplex
point-to-point
full-duplex
Information is simultaneously sent and received over the link.

station A station B
multipoint-to-multipoint
full-duplex (between station and modem) Information is simultaneously sent and received over the station to modem link, whereas information is sent in only half-duplex (between modems) one direction at a time over the modem to modem link.
receive modem A transmit receive modem B receive transmit receive transmit transmit receive station B
transmit station A receive
transmit
Choose a Link Media
When choosing link media, consider the following: data transmission needs of the application remote site and control center locations distance between sites available link media services project budget
Several types of link media are available, including public transmission media, atmospheric media, and dedicated line media.
Media Category Public transmission media Atmospheric media Dedicated line Type Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN); Internationally: General Switched Telephone Network (GSTN) Private Leased Line (PLL) Digital Data Service (DDS) Microwave Radio VHF/UHF Radio Geosynchronous Satellite Dedicated Wire Power Line
The following sections outline the advantages, disadvantages and requirements of each link medium.
2-5
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or General Switched Telephone Network (GSTN)
The dial-up network is furnished by a telephone company. This telephone line is the one that we use daily and that carries voice and data transmissions.
Advantages/Capabilities
Public Switched Telephone Networks are cost-effective for: short, occasional data collection from remote sites that have access to a PSTN. sites calling in to a central location. Often point-to-point applications have a dial-up connection as a backup to the main media link. The phone company charges a monthly fee based on usage the number of local connections made and/or the time and distance of each long distance connection. The network supports communications rates of up to 57,600 bps. The network is a 2-wire connection that supports half-duplex modems and 2-wire, full-duplex modems. The topology is point-to-point.
Disadvantages
Transmission is costly for long, frequent data collection from remote sites. The lines can contain impairments that can cause modems to have error rates of less than 1 error per 1,000,000 bits. The media cannot be used in areas that do not have access to the network, such as an offshore oil or gas well. Time is required to dial and establish each connection. Additional logic is required to automatically initiate a connection.
Equipment Required
Use standard Bell or Consultive Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) modems. Contact the telephone company for information about connecting to the network.
2-6
Private Leased Line (PLL)

PLL Phone Company PLL
PLL is a dedicated telephone line that is a permanent connection between two or more locations and that is used for analog data transmission. The line is available 24 hours a day. In order for the line to be used for voice communication, a voice option must be installed.
The media is cost-effective for applications that require large amounts of data to be collected frequently from remote sites and/or applications that require remote sites to have a constant connection to the master station. Regardless of how much you use the line, the phone company charges you a flat, monthly fee based on the following: distance between sites area of the country type of line conditioning Leased lines have different levels of conditioning, or grades the higher the grade, the greater the modem data rate that can be supported by the link, and the more the phone company charges for it. The standard, unconditioned line, supports speeds of up to 28,800 bps. Private leased lines provide a 4-wire connection. You can purchase modems that operate the circuit in either half- or full-duplex mode. You can also order a 4-wire multi-drop line.
Disadvantages
The media cannot be used in areas that do not have access to the network, such as an offshore oil or gas well. The lines can contain impairments that can cause modems to have error rates of less than 1 error per 1,000,000 bits.
Equipment Required
Use standard Bell or CCITT modems. Contact the telephone company for information about connecting to the network.
2-7
Digital Data Services (DDS)

DDS Phone Company DDS
DDS is a special wide-bandwidth private leased line that uses digital techniques to transfer data at higher speeds and at a lower error rate than private leased lines. The line is available 24 hours a day.
DDS is a digital network that offers higher transmission rates and minimal, if any, line impairments. The media is useful when an application requires very large amounts of data to be transferred between sites with a low data error rate. Regardless of use, the phone company charges you a flat, monthly fee based on the following: distance between sites area of the country speed of the integrated service unit (digital modem) A constant connection exists. Asynchronous communication rates are 2.4k, 4.8k, 9.6k, 19.2k, 38.4k, and 57.6k bps. The network provides a four-wire connection and can be configured in a multi-drop topology.
Disadvantages
The media is costly for applications not needing to transmit large amounts of data quickly and at a low data error rate.
Equipment Needed
Use standard integrated service unit, ISU (also called a data service unit [DSU] or channel service unit [CSU]). The ISU data rate must match that of the digital data service line, which operates at a fixed rate.
2-8
Microwave Radio
Microwave radio is a high-frequency (GHz), terrestrial radio transmission and reception media that uses parabolic dishes as antennas. The dishes are usually mounted on towers or on top of tall buildings, since this is a line-of-sight topology.
The media links geographically-remote areas that are not accessible by phone lines. A constant connection exists. Transmissions can occur over very long distances over rough terrain. You incur no monthly service fee because you own the equipment. The only expenses are operation and maintenance costs. Low transmission delay times exist. The larger bandwidth allows you to multiplex many channels over one antenna. Lease circuits from another company who owns their own private microwave circuit.
Disadvantages
Transmission is limited to a line-of-sight, i.e. you cannot transmit through mountains. The signal can experience distortion and interference. Also, atmospheric conditions (rain, snow, fog) can affect the signal. Most microwave link frequencies are allocated and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In urban areas, fewer data-transmission frequencies are available. You can incur large initial expense for equipment.

VHF/UHF Radio
Radio Modem Radio Modem
VHF/UHF radio is a high-frequency electromagnetic, wave transmission. Radio transmitters generate the signal, and a special antenna receives it.
The media links geographically-remote areas that are not accessible by phone lines. A constant connection exists. Transmissions can occur over rough terrain and over distances of less than 30 miles. You incur no monthly service fee because you own the equipment. The only expenses are operation and maintenance costs. Minimal transmission delay times exist.
Disadvantages
Repeaters are needed to extend transmissions over distances greater than 15 miles. Most radio link frequencies are allocated and regulated by the FCC. In urban areas, fewer data-transmission frequencies are available. The signal from 900 MHz and higher transmitters can experience distortion and interference, and can be affected by poor weather conditions. The narrow bandwidth carries only one channel. You incur an initial expense for equipment; less expensive than microwave or satellite.
Equipment Required
transmitters receivers antennas repeaters are needed to transmit greater distances and over hills and mountains
2-10
Geosynchronous Satellite
Geosynchronous satellites use a high-frequency (GHz) radio transmission to route transmissions between sites. The satellite's orbit is synchronous with the earth's orbit (geosynchronous); therefore, the satellite remains in the same position with respect to the earth. Satellites receive signals from and send signals to parabolic dish antennas.
Earth
The transmissions can link sites almost anywhere on Earth. A constant connection exists. You incur a monthly service fee. You can lease circuits from a telephone company Rates can be competitive with leased lines, depending on the total distance, remote station locations, and amount of data being transmitted. The media offers high reliability and data integrity. You do not need to group remote sites because the communication media usually is accessible.
Disadvantages
You can encounter longer transmission delays, measured in seconds rather than milliseconds as for other media. You incur a large initial cost for the satellite dish and supporting equipment.
Equipment Required
access to satellite satellite transmitters Earth-bound receiving parabolic-dish antennas

Dedicated Wire
With dedicated wire modems, you can transmit and received data over a pair of copper conductors for extended distances.
May be able to use existing installed wires Simplified design lowers costs
Disadvantages
Relatively low speed Bit error rate dependent on quality of media
Equipment Required

Power Line
With special data communication equipment, you can transmit and receive data over 120V ac or 460V ac power conductors within a factory.
No need for extra cabling Simplified design lowers cost You do not need an FCC license.
Disadvantages
Transmission cannot occur through transformers without bridges. See the vendor for the bridges. With some vendors, speed may be distance limited.
Equipment Required

Choose a Protocol
A protocol governs the format of data transmission between two or more stations, including handshaking, error detection, and error recovery. When choosing a protocol, select one that best fits your application's: connection topology transmission mode other application requirements, such as connections to existing equipment
If your transmission mode is: bidirectional but one direction at a time simultaneously bidirectional radio peer-to-peer Then choose this type of protocol: DF1 Half-Duplex DF1 Full-Duplex DF1 Radio Modem
If all the control products used in your application are Allen-Bradley products, use the DF1 protocol because it provides benefits, such as: remote data table monitoring and online programming using standard Rockwell Software programming software remote station-to-remote station messaging a more cost-effective solution since the protocol is built into Allen-Bradley products DF1 protocol is an asynchronous, byte-based protocol. DF1 protocol options are described below.
DF1 Half-Duplex Protocol

Using Allen-Bradley DF1 half-duplex protocol provides these advantages: You do not have to program the master station to read blocks of data from each remote station to determine if the remote station has new data. Get data from remote stations just by polling them. Remote stations can collect data on their own and have the message blocks waiting to send when the master station polls them. You can perform remote station-to-remote station messaging through the master station without any special ladder logic in the master and without increased processing time.
2-13
You can program remote stations over the telemetry network without interrupting the master station's normal control and data acquisition functions. You can program the master to broadcast write a block of data to all remote stations simultaneously for synchronization purposes.
DF1 Radio Modem Protocol

Using Allen-Bradley DF1 Radio Modem protocol in radio modem configurations provides one or more of these advantages, depending upon the radio modem used: Any station can initiate to any other station at any time for true Report-by-Exception capability. Any station can be configured to be a Store & Forward node between nodes that are not within radio reception range of one another. Any station can be programmed over the radio network. Any station can broadcast write a block of data to all remote stations simultaneously for synchronization purposes.
DF1 Full-Duplex Protocol

Using Allen-Bradley DF1 full-duplex protocol provides these advantages: Either station can initiate to the other station at any time for true Report-by-Exception capability. Simultaneous transmissions over full-duplex channel for maximum throughput.
2-14
Non-DF1 Protocols
You may need to choose a non-DF1 protocol if you are: using links, such as satellite or packet radio, that may require software handshaking to communicate. expanding an existing system (you are adding Allen-Bradley remote stations) or specifying a retrofit, which is not using DF1 protocol. emulating someone else's product with an Allen-Bradley programmable controller MicroLogix 1200 and MicroLogix 1500 controllers have Modbus RTU Master(1) and Modbus RTU Slave built-in. RSView SE can communicate with Modbus RTU Master and Slave through standard OPC. Once a non-Allen-Bradley protocol is used, Allen-Bradley protocol advantages, such as remote station to remote station messaging and online programming, may no longer apply. However, if you need to use other protocols, our third-party protocol suppliers provide gateway solutions between Allen-Bradley devices and devices that communicate by using non-DF1 protocols. See the following tables for a list of protocols available from third-party suppliers. You can find their addresses and web sites listed in Appendix A. For the most up-to-date list of available protocols, see the suppliers web page.

Choose a Telephone Modem
Modems convert digital information from a programmable controller or computer to an analog signal that is compatible with the communication media being used. The signal is then transported to the receiving modem, which converts the analog signal back into a digital one. In the illustration below, digital data from each DTE is converted to an analog signal for transmission over the communication media.
DTE
DCE
DCE
DTE
Two modem technology standards exist to make certain that modems developed by different manufactures are compatible:
Type: Bell Consultive Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) Explanation: The Bell standard was the predominant standard in the United States until the break-up of AT&T in the USA. The CCITT standard is the international standard that is now becoming the standard for the USA. Most modems now conform to one or more of the CCITT standards, such as V.32, V.32bis, V.22, etc.
In most cases, the two modem types are not compatible. Keep this in mind when choosing modems for stations that are being added to or are retrofits for an existing installation. Compatibility charts exist. Consult a modem supplier for more information. Use the selections that you recorded from the previous section, Choosing a Telemetry Network, to answer these questions: What type of link(s) are you using to transmit data (PSTN, private leased line, radio, etc.)? What transmission mode(s) are you using (half-duplex, full-duplex)? What are your network topologies (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint)? Are you using 2-wire or 4-wire lines?
3-3
Once you know the type of modem, use these criteria to help you choose appropriate models: required data communication rate requirements of the DTE devices to which you are connecting Do you need asynchronous or synchronous operation? TIP If you are using all Allen-Bradley DTE devices, choose an asynchronous modem.
What interfaces do you need (RS-232, MIL 188, EIA-449, IEEE 488, CCITT V.24)? What other features are required to support your DTEs? required standards (UL, CSA, FCC, etc.) space requirements. Do you need a rack-mounted or stand-alone modem? input-power requirements ambient temperature specifications modem design and operation modem response time Once you have a good idea of the modem type you need, choose a modem based on the many available features and options, which vary by manufacturer.

Analog Leased-Line Modems

PLL Phone Company PLL
Depending on the speed of the modem you choose, you may need a better conditioned line. A leased-line modem's cost is composed of two principal items: monthly leased-line charges, which are directly proportional to the conditioning or communication rate capability of the leased line modem price, which is directly proportional to the modem's communication rate capability Therefore, the most efficient system matches the maximum communication rate of the modem to that of the leased line to which the modems are attached.
For Point-to Point, Full-Duplex Applications

Choose an asynchronous, full-duplex 2-wire or 4-wire leased-line modem pair.
For Point-to-Multipoint, Half-Duplex Applications

Choose a modem which supports asynchronous, point-to-multipoint operation over a 4-wire or 2-wire leased line. Typically these modems have a master setting for the modem connected to the master station and a slave setting for the modems that connect to remote stations. For the master station: choose a modem that has the capability of holding the modem carrier high so that no time is lost waiting for the modem carrier to turn on and stabilize whenever the master modem has data to transmit. For the remote stations: choose a modem that can switch the carrier on and off, whether transmitting or receiving, based on RTS/CTS signal handshaking with the other remote stations. You need to use a switched modem carrier since the stations share the same leased-line channel and would jam each other's data transmission attempts if two or more remote station modems set their carriers high at the same time. Using a half-duplex mode virtually guarantees that no two remote stations will attempt to transmit data at the same time. Whether an application uses 2-wire or 4-wire leased lines, choose remote modems that support switched modem carriers.

Digital Leased-Line ISUs

DDS Phone Company DDS
Integrated Service Units (ISUs) are the modem equivalents for the digital data service lines. You can use the DDS network for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems. Two components make up an ISU, as shown below: 1. The data service unit (DSU) connects to the RS-232 link. 2. The channel service unit (CSU) transmits the digital signal onto the communication line. Integrated service units are the DCEs for the digital data service lines.
ISU DTE DSU CSU CSU

The data rate for the ISU must match that of the DDS line. Some ISUs can operate at multiple rates, but the rate of a DDS line is fixed. Typical asynchronous DDS line speeds are 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K, and 57.6K bits per second. Consult the vendor for information about their product offerings.
Telephone Modem and ISU Installation Guidelines

Telephone modems and ISUs require a telephone-company approved connector. Consult your modem/ISU vendor for installation requirements.
Choose a Radio Transmission System
You can use radio modems for either point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or multipoint-to-multipoint applications. The primary consideration for radio modems is the radio frequency band in which they operate. You can choose among these radio types:
Radio Modem
Radio Modem
Radio Type VHF UHF higher frequency UHF microwave
Frequency 66 to 79 MHz 150 to 174 MHz 450 to 470 MHz 850 to 960 MHz 1 GHz and above
Also, consider the following criteria when selecting radios: required communication rate space requirements. Do you need a chassis-mounted or stand-alone modem? requirements of the DTE devices to which you are connecting Do you need asynchronous or synchronous operation? TIP If you are using all A-B DTE devices, choose an asynchronous modem interface.
What interfaces do you need (RS-232, MIL 188, EIA-449, IEEE 488, CCITT V.24)? What other features are required to support your DTEs?
3-8
required remote diagnostic features Radio modems can either be crystal-based or microprocessorbased. Microprocessor-based modems can be more easily serviced and programmed from a central control site. Diagnostics can be performed at the control site, allowing technicians to diagnose problems without having to travel to the remote site. power availability at the remote sites required licensing required standards (UL, CSA, FCC, etc.) whether the radio modem is composed of an integrated unit or a radio and a modem as separate units radio modem design and operation data security required response time ability to buffer serial data and avoid data collisions between radio modems to allow Report-by-Exception ability to route DF1 data packets and to Store & Forward
Licensing
The FCC requires that you obtain a license before you operate a radio modem at a particular location and frequency within certain radio frequency bands. The advantage of operating within a licensed radio frequency band is that this minimizes the chance of transmission interference from other nearby radio modems. The disadvantage is that in populated areas, most, if not all, of the available radio frequencies are already licensed and in use. The FCC allows you to use relatively low transmit power, spread-spectrum radio modems without a license. Spread-spectrum is a transmission-frequency varying technique that lets many spread-spectrum radios operate within the same radio frequency band with some interference. The amount of interference is directly proportional to the number of users in the area.
3-9
Radio Modem Types

Radio modems may be sold as: integrated units Key-up time between the radio and modem is integrated fully. The unit does not require programmable controller intervention. When the modem and transmitter/receiver are separate, compatibility becomes an issue. two separate units a digital data modem that has an RS-232 connector a radio transmitter/receiver that has an antenna connector Often, since the modem is not able to directly control when the radio transmits a carrier, the data communication device must also have a way to key-up the radio transmitter just prior to transmitting data to the modem. Also, consider the time-to-transmit power requirements of the combination, since the external modem is not able to determine when the radio is at full power. The modem requires a time delay prior to data transmission. Like leased-line modems, the cost of radio modems is directly proportional to the communication rate or communications throughput that they can support. Select your modem based on the type of application: point-to-point full-duplex, point-to-multipoint half-duplex, or multipoint-to-multipoint full-duplex.
For Point-to-Point Full-Duplex Applications

Choose full-duplex radios. This application requires a separate transmitter and receiver in each radio modem.
3-10
For Point-to-Multipoint (or Broadcast) Half-Duplex Applications

Choose full-duplex master radio, half-duplex master radio, or half-duplex remote radios. For best performance use a master radio modem capable of full-duplex operation, since a full-duplex radio modem has a transmitter that is separate from the receiver. This provides shorter RTS-to-CTS delays with each master station data transmission. To be cost-efficient, use radio modems that have a transceiver for the remote stations. Having a transceiver limits modems to only half-duplex operation, since they can only send or receive data at one time. Therefore, with each remote station transmission, the RTS-to-CTS delay is longer, since the transceiver takes time to switch from receiver operation to transmitter operation. This time delay allows the transmitter time to fully power up. Also, think about setting up your master station in a redundant configuration. If the master station's radio modem goes down, the whole communications system is down. Whereas, when a remote station radio modem goes down, only communication to a single remote station is lost.
For Multipoint-to-Multipoint, Full-Duplex Applications

Choose intelligent radios. Although intelligent radio modems receive and transmit across the airwaves in a half-duplex fashion, they are able to transfer data with the attached controller in full-duplex fashion when the controller is configured to communicate using DF1 Radio Modem protocol. This allows any station to trigger a message instruction in ladder logic and immediately transmit it to the attached radio modem. The radio modem buffers the message and transmits it once it has an idle channel available.

Radio Modem Installation Guidelines

For a radio system, you need these components:
Component antennas cabinets repeaters (optional) Comments The height and quality depend upon the application and project budget. Consider the environmental conditions or the location of the remote sites to select an appropriate cabinet. If the radios are not located in a line of sight with each other (e.g., due to terrain), you may need repeaters to carry the signal from the initiating station to the destination station.
When becoming involved with radio system design, consult radio system vendors. A site survey should always be performed to determine the following: radio transmit power requirements quantity of radios whether or not repeaters are needed antenna type and heights
Choose a Satellite Transmission System
A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) network provides a mechanism for multiple remote sites to communicate with a central site (a hub) on a shared access basis. You can choose between single-hop and double-hop systems.
Single-Hop
Data is transmitted across leased lines to the master Earth station, which beams the data to the satellite. The satellite beams the data to the remote sites (or master site). The charges may be high if you purchase your own inbound and outbound channels, and usually, you do not use the channels' entire bandwidth. Also, you must pay for the leased line that transports the data to the master hub. You can choose a single-hop system that shares the inbound and outbound channels with others to offset costs.
Earth
3-13
Double-Hop
A VSAT site is directly connected to your master or remote station. This VSAT beams the data to the satellite, which beams the data to either the remote site or master site.

Choose a Computer-Based Master Station
For many small SCADA configurations, a personal computer running Rockwell Software's RSView and RSLinx 2.x software can meet the requirements for both the operator interface and the master station. RSView software provides not only an operator interface but also master station functionality, both at the same time. This configuration provides for the most integrated and cost-effective master station for smaller applications.

If only one circuit is used, the system can have 254 devices.
Each circuit supports either DF1 half-duplex or DF1 full-duplex protocol. Using COM1-COM32 serial ports, you can have RSView software connected to 32 separate telemetry systems (with appropriate supporting hardware). Therefore, an RSView master station can be a: master station to 32 separate SCADA systems when each circuit is configured for DF1 half-duplex protocol. half-duplex master on up to 31 of its circuits and support DF1 full-duplex protocol with dial-up modem support on the other circuit, which is a requirement for some SCADA applications. Even when a distributed HMI system is required, RSView Supervisory Edition facilitates data sharing between the half-duplex master data server and other RSView clients over an Ethernet network.

If an application requires multiple half-duplex master stations, you can use multiple ControlLogix processors in a single 1756 I/O chassis, with each processor supporting up to 254 remote stations. Using the built-in backplane to serial port routing capability of the ControlLogix processor, any processor has messaging capability to any remote station, no matter which processor serial port it is actually connected to.
Choose a Data Concentrating Submaster Station
If your application requires one or more data-concentrating submaster station(s), each submaster station must support both DF1 half-duplex master and DF1 half-duplex slave communications through two serial ports. In this application, the submaster can communicate directly with its master or its remote stations, but any data exchange between its master and its remote stations can only occur through the submasters data table. The master programming terminal can remotely program the submaster, but not the submasters remote stations. The MicroLogix 1500 LRP controller can be configured as a submaster with DF1 half-duplex slave on channel 0 and DF1 half-duplex master on channel 1, or with DF1 radio modem configured on both channels.

Choose a Data Routing Submaster Station
If your application requires one or more data routing submaster station(s), the master station and the submaster station(s) can either be ControlLogix or CompactLogix processor-based. Each ControlLogix submaster station has two ControlLogix processors, one with its serial port configured for DF1 half-duplex master station communication and the other with its serial port configured for DF1 half-duplex remote station communication. The CompactLogix L31 has two serial ports that can be set up for DF1 half-duplex master and slave, with routing capability between them. In this application, not only can the submaster communicate directly with its master or remote stations, but the master can initiate messages to the remote stations by routing through the submaster, with no additional programming or data table memory used in the submaster.
