MOSCAD RTU are capable
to collect data from weather sensors (wind direction and
speed , temperature, humidity etc.) and transmit remotly to
collecting center. |
Electricity Distribution
Midpower electrical network computer
control enables distributors to have more reliable power
supply, at the same time decreasing of operative and
maintenance expenses. |
|
 |
Sector unit
switches, the devices for automatically plunge in and condenser
blocks connected to the midpower electrical network are installed
on the systems without remote controlling. The application of
MOSCAD RTUs gives a simple solution which integrates and enhances
effective equipment usage and automate subcenters.
In some scenarios,
the MOSCAD powers up AC analyzer so service quality can get more
advanced. In that case, the measurements are accomplished by
direct connecting to a various electrical midpower sensors. Based
on this measurements, the RTU computes key parameters such as
voltage and current level, load balance, electric power
consumption, harmonic distortions and power factor.

Water supply and waste water draining applications
The goals laid
before all companies which are dealing with water, regardless is
it water supply or waste water draining, basically are all the
same - to minimize the costs of maintenance, fast and effective
malfunction detection and repair, to lower the cost of power
consumption, to minimize investments due to system growth and
other losses. Motorola MOSCAD offers achievement in all of these
goals enlisted here. MOSCAD RTUs are capable of monitoring water
flow thru pipelines making pressure control more effective,
minimizing unnecessary consumption and helping in energy and water
losses.
Water level tanks
are also monitored so the pumps are regulated in most effective
and rational manner. MOSCAD RTUs gather data in real time and
provide reliable supply and stabile pressure which in another
case, would require more of pumps, tanks and pressure control
equipment.

Oil and gas
industry
 |
Oil and gas operation is
characterized
by production wellheads, long pipelines and valves located at
difficult-to-access sites. MOSCAD RTUs calculate the gas flow
according to AGA-3 (American Gas Association), AGA-7, AGA-8 and
other standards, monitor the operation of pressure reduction
equipment and Cathodic Protection rectifiers and more.
This industry must maintain the
strictest safety measures to prevent leakages, fires and explosions
in installations where oil and/or gas present. Thus each site must
be constantly supervised from one or more control centers.
Intrinsically safe
connections to MOSCAD
from field sensors in restricted zones may be obtained by adding
barrier devices, registered for use in these industries.

Siren control systems
Electronic sirens
serve as public warning in cases of severe weather, pollution,
radiation alert and other dangers. Thus, siren control operators
require a reliable method of control and up-to-date information on
the condition of their warning system.
MOSCAD RTUs can
provide the needed reliable communication between the sirens and
the siren control center. MOSCAD RTUs are capable of selecting
combinations of tones and pre-record voice messages to expand the
usage options of the system.
The use of one or
more PCs connected in a network combined with MOSCAD RTUs, offer
advanced functions such as activation of sirens in selected
groups, backup communications, silent test and download of
recorded public warning messages.

Communication network fault management
 |
MOSCAD based Network
Fault Management systems enhance the reliability of remote
communication installations and help reduce the downtime in case
of a fault. Network Fault Management systems are employed to
monitor conventional and trunked radio base stations, analog and
digital cellular systems, microwave radio and wire line
communication systems.
In the Network Fault
Management application, MOSCAD is programmed to monitor the remote
sites thereby allowing your operator to receive quick, meaningful
alerts about unusual operation of communications equipment, power
generators, air-conditioning, station battery and fire and
security sensors.

Fire station alerting
The dispatch of the
fire trucks and ambulances from the many fire stations in a city
is an important requirement of all fire departments. This must be
done quickly to reduce fire loss and maximize the responsiveness
to the community.
MOSCAD provides an
excellent solution to this need. A single message from the
dispatch center is received in all fire stations, the intelligence
within the MOSCAD determines which station will respond to the
message. In the fire stations MOSCAD can automatically turn on
lights in selected areas, connect the voice dispatch message to
the building public address system, open the doors in front of the
needed fire vehicles, send a message to dispatch when the
apparatus has been left the station, activate the in-building
intrusion alarm system and turn off the appliances.
|
|
|
Computer(s) at dispatch center will permit
the easy selection of the fire station(s) and items of
equipment with each station. These same computers may also
provide the Motorola voice dispatch capability. MOSCAD also
supports a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) interface with text
messaging to printers in the fire stations, and may provide
redundant two-way radio communications. |
Transmission of images
Motorola RIX (Radio Image Transfer System)
provides an innovative means for visual confirmation of events
detected at remote sites. It includes single or multiple
cameras which are interfaced to the MOSCAD RTUs via the
Motorola VRU (Video Remote Unit). It captures the
picture upon a polling command or an instant event, performs
data compression and prepares the image for transmission via
the MOSCAD network. |
|
 |
MOSCAD handles the
transmission of images on the same communication link already used
for SCADA system and voice communication. The RIX-MOSCAD system is
suitable for visual monitoring of electric installations,
detection of fire, early indication of flooding and security
violation. A unique benefit of the integrated RIX-MOSCAD system is
that operations of SCADA control centers will no longer rely only
on the information initiated by a simple sensor at the remote
site. They can reconfirm the alarm via still images captured at
the moment the event occurred.
