Hi,
We are proposing on a project where monitoring is done on a water treament plant.
The treament plant has a Yokogawa recorder & the data (a few) will be send to the central monitoring station.
What we proposed is:
At the treament plant site, link the Yokogawa DX paperless recorder (Ethernet) to the Yokogawa FAM3 PLC (Ethernet). Then the GSM modem (serial) will be connected to the Yokogawa FAM3 serial port.
While at the central monitoring system, the GSM modem will hooked into another FAM3 PLC and the PLC will be connected to the workstation for monitoring purpose thru serial port.
1) Can the GSM modem at the central monitoring system connected directly into the workstation & run with monitoring software or SCADA (like RSViewME). If can, we can save the cost on the PLC at the CMS.
Anyone come across such application please throw in your advise, highly appreciate it.
Thanks.
