Gateway

The Gateway or universal communications gateway developed by SICA S.A. allows the exchange of information between the field devices and the remote control.

The communications gateway converts the status information, alarms and measurements collected from the installation and packages all the information to be sent by IEC-104/101 protocol. In this way, the remote control receives the status changes and alarms in real time.

The SICA gateway has been tested in numerous installations, demonstrating excellent reliability and robustness. Optionally it can be enabled in redundant configuration, with two gateways operating simultaneously, thus providing hardware fault tolerance.

GATEWAY FEATURES

As it is based on high-level programming, it can be adapted to the installation, to the client and even expandable.

• As it is based on an industrial PC, there are no restrictions on the number of devices to be connected.
• Faster system backup and restoration.
• Delivery of installed and configured spare parts within 24 hours.
• Easier support.
• Graphical interface that allows the installation of frame analysers for debugging.
• PLC Fault Identification.
