Sierra Wireless Corporate Glossary Sierra Wireless Corporate Glossary 2130891 Rev 3 Preface Important Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data Notice can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data. Safety and Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where blasting is in progress, Hazards where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems. Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time. The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Limitation of The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not Liability represent a commitment on the part of Sierra Wireless. SIERRA WIRELESS AND ITS AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY SIERRA WIRELESS PRODUCT, EVEN IF SIERRA WIRELESS AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Sierra Wireless and/or its affiliates aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the Sierra Wireless product, regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability, be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the Sierra Wireless product.

  • M21 and M22 Tech Series Modems for SCADA Applications
    Technical Brief AN234 Raveon Technologies Corp Technical Brief AN234Rev B1 M21 and M22 Tech Series Modems for SCADA Applications By John Sonnenberg Raveon Technologies Corp S u m m a r y SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. The MRV-M21 and MRV-M22 data radios from Raveon Technologies are called the “Tech Series” modems. The Tech Series modems make ideal wireless modems for SCADA gateways and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) for SCADA and telemetry systems. This Application Brief describes the general requirements for a wireless SCADA modem and then provides the information needed to configure an M21 series modem to work in common SCADA applications. Many telemetry and SCADA systems run on private networks or connect things to the Internet. Raveon’s wireless modems are excellent devices to connect your things to networks or the Internet. Wireless SCADA In a wired SCADA system, a device or sensor is monitored by some type of computer or other human-to-machine interface. The user may have something as simple as an LED indicator, or as complex as a computer server for the operator. The human interface communicates to another electronic device that is remotely located at the monitored location. Often this remote device is a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Typical SCADA System Copyright 2018 1 Raveon Technologies Corp. Last updated: January 2018 When the distance between the monitoring station and the device being monitored (the water tank above) is not trivial, than a wireless link between the two sites becomes a logical means of connecting them.
