WebNET is an excellent communication choice for the remote control and monitoring of unattended systems such as SOLAR Energy farms, pumping stations and water valves.
   
Datalink's WebNET CLOUD service is global. WebNET can act as a transparent pipe linking remote sites over cellular or Iridium Satellite to host HMI computers and control desks.
   

TRANSPARENT PIPE
 

WebNET can functionally act as a transparent pipe, linking remote monitoring terminals and other devices at remote solar farms, commercial solar arrays, oil and gas wells, pipelines, pumping stations, remote mining sites, compressor stations, reservoir storage tanks and remote seismographs and host HMI computers.

REMOTE INTELLIGENCE
  
Many SCADA systems are based on polling remote RTUs from the base software program every X seconds or minutes. This is not an issue when the link is dedicated telephone lines, microwave or Vsat. However the cost of linking to remote RTUs using the above options is often cost prohibitive or not possible.
  
Datalink has overcome this problem by adding intelligent monitoring at the remote device. Datalink's  i50 Mobihub can detect an anomaly in milliseconds sending an alert to the base HMI controller. This eliminates the need for frequent polling and allows the use of low cost satellite links on a global basis.

Host connection
   

The third-party host software connects to a CLOUD based DataGate server using a TCP/IP socket in push or poll mode. For instant status polling the HMI Host sends a Modbus (or other protocol with addressing scheme) packet to the DataGate server, which decodes the address field and uses a look-up table to direct the packet to the appropriate remote device. The server then communicates with the device and waits for an acknowledgement. Any responses from the device are sent back to the third-party HMI host software using the same TCP/IP socket. At this point the third-party software may close the socket, or continue to exchange data. For SCADA operation, third party Software should be OPC compatible.

For those host software systems that are restricted to legacy PSTN "phone" dial-up sessions, Datalink can provide a PSTN-to-IP internet interface software module allowing full TCP/IP communications over any of the integrated wireless networks. For other Cellular connections I.P. packet switched service is used

Datalink's Cloud Based WebNET allows Managers and Supervisors, desk-bound or mobile, to monitor, message and control remote devices and direct field personnel on cellular and satellite networks. WebNET can be segmented across departments and sub-divisions with each department or division seeing and controlling only their assets and personnel.  For Governments and Law Enforcement, an AES-256 encrypted version is available.
