Part No. 001-4090-101/102

1.11 NETWORK APPLICATION

 Integra-H is suited to a variety of network applications. Its primary design goal satisfies the needs of 

SCADA systems using RTUs, PLCs, or other similar equipment in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint 
service.

 This section gives an overview of some common configurations. Selection of “master” or “remote” as 

well as data delivery conditions is done using INTRSS.

1.11.1  RF PATH AND COMMUNICATIONS RANGE

 Integra-H is designed for use over distances dependent on terrain and antenna system. To assure reliable 

communications, the RF (radio frequency) path between stations should be studied by a competent professional 
who can determine what antennae are required and whether or not a repeater is needed.

1.11.2  BASIC CONNECTIONS

 The connections required are shown in Figure 1-2. 

 While an RTU or PLC is shown in the diagram, master stations often use a PC running an application 

designed to communicate with remote RTUs or PLCs.

 The Setup PC is used for both configuration and local and remote diagnostics. It may be left connected at 

all times but is not required for normal operation once the unit has been configured.
