  1. Overview • Skills of AMERICAN TECHNOLOGIES Inc. • Capabilities • What is Spread Spectrum Technology? • ACT’s Products and Services

  2. Founded 13 years ago for RF engineering • Broadened 8 years ago to control systems • Complete coverage for radio-linked controls • Designer and Manufacturer of spread spectrum wireless products with onboard I/O • Integrator of wireless control systems

  3. What Is Spread Spectrum Technology ?

  4. DataHopper Series (SS Radios) DataHopper 115 S/EI and DataHopper 276 S/EI. Model number indicates radio bandwidth, i. e. 115 Kbps, 276 Kbps, etc. S indicates Serial Interface; EI for Ethernet interface. • DataHopper 550 S/EI (Future) • Datavision Series (Video Cameras) Datavision 2100, Datavision 3000

  5. FRONT BACK • 900 MHz Spread Spectrum serial and Ethernet radio • High bandwidth • Long Distance ( up to 60 miles LOS) • Supports point to point and point to multipoint • Powerful 1-watt transceiver

  6. Network Diagrams Point to Point Point to Multipoint

  7. FRONT BACK • Link an unlimited number repeaters • Connect up to 4 masters • 64 different user-selectable pseudo-random hopping patterns • User-configurable encryption key for enhanced security • Built in data error detection • Remote network configuration and diagnostics over the airwaves

  8. Front Back • Onboard I/O – 2DI, 2DO, 1AI, 1AO • Both Modbus master and Modbus Slave Protocol • Control remote stations without cost of extra hardware • Can cascade multiple Ethernet and serial devices

  9. Front Back • 900 MHz spread spectrum Ethernet and Serial Radio • Same Features as DataHopper 115 S/EI at More than twice the throughput (276 kbps) • Simultaneously handles both SCADA data and video surveillance streams

  10. RF Link Pump Station RTU Water Tank RF Link Slave Radio RTU CPU w/ HMI Repeater Radio Master Radio acts as Modbus master

  11. RF Link Pump Station RTU Water Tank RF Link Slave Radio CPU w/ HMI Repeater Radio Handles Tank I/O Points No RTU required Master Radio acts as Modbus master

  12. CPU with HMI RTU Ethernet Switch RF LINK Remote Radio Master Radio

  13. REMOTE RTU SENDS DATA TO REMOTE RADIO VIA ETHERNET OR SERIAL RTU REMOTE RADIO

  14. REMOTE RADIO TRANSMITS ENCRYPTED RTU DATA TO MASTER RADIO MASTER RADIO REMOTE RADIO

  15. MASTER RADIO SENDS UNENCRYPTED DATA TO MASTER RTU A² T940 Master RTU Master Radio

  16. Benefits of Unlicensed Radio • Increased security for any business • No more expensive lease line charges from the phone company • License free - Requires no bothersome FCC license application • Fast inexpensive alternative to installing fiber optics • Scalable architecture • Onboard I/O with Modbus protocol requires no PLC or RTU at remote sites with limited I/O i.e., water tanks

  17. Maintain your own private network - your not married to the phone company • No outside fees or maintenance costs

  18. MASTER RADIO SENDS DATA TO MASTER CPU MASTER CPU STORES CAMERA IMAGES ON HARD DRIVE

  19. RF Propagation Studies • SCADA Setup and Installation A² Integration with the DataHopper 900 series

  20. To ensure reliable communications for data • Based on topographical analysis, foliage depth, and field tested path RSSI levels • Analyze coverage patterns • Determine radio configurations required • Check for co-channel and out-of-band interference

  21. Terrain Profile

  22. ACT is well versed in Invensys Foxboro products -this includes the 2500, T940, and Wonderware • A² works seamlessly with all DataHopper products • ACT is proficient with all industry standard protocols i.e., MODBUS, DF1, PROFIBUS, DNP3, and TCPIP
