TGW-100R: Rack version
2.1.1
Basic information
The TGW-100R (Tetra Gate Way) converts serial communication protocols to TETRA
IP-Data and/or to TETRA SDS Messages. The device has two serial ports for
interfacing to a SCADA Server or NMS Server and two IP (Ethernet) Ports. The TGW-
100R has an embedded Web-Server and can be configured easily using a standard WEB
browser on a Windows PC or MAC device. When beside Packet Switched Data also
SDS messages shall be used, additional individual driver software is needed to interface
the TGW-100R to the different TETRA infrastructure manufacturers.
2.1.2
Mode of operation
Each of the serial ports can be configured independent for a protocol such as Modbus
RTU, DNP3, Sinaut and many others. And for each of these ports a Routing Table as
well as an IP Reference Table will be used to rout the received serial data over the
TETRA infrastructure either as an SDS message or as Packet Data stream to the
outstation(s).
An optional trigger threshold can be used to operate the device in mixed mode and to
send the data depending on its length as an SDS Message or as a Packet Data stream. If
the messages will be send as an SDS, only individual ISSI addressing is used and the
data will be com¬pressed to keep the network load as low as possible.
