This webinar is an engineer’s guide to designing and deploying remote monitoring systems using ICP DAS USA data acquisition hardware, wireless communications, and SCADA software. It starts with the fundamentals of data acquisition—how analog and digital signals are collected, stored in registers, and communicated over protocols like Modbus RTU (RS-485) and Modbus TCP (Ethernet)—then explains how Industrial IoT builds on that by connecting devices and systems for remote visibility and control. The training compares multiple ways to collect data wirelessly, including Wi-Fi, Zigbee mesh networks, and cellular gateways, with practical guidance on when each method is the best fit based on range, obstacles, and site conditions. It also highlights supporting infrastructure like Ethernet switches, RS-485 repeaters, and Power over Ethernet remote I/O for simplified installations. Finally, the webinar demonstrates how to bring field data into a SCADA platform (InduSoft/Aveva Edge) to build operator screens, show live status in color-coded graphics, create trends, log data, generate reports, and trigger alarm notifications—helping engineers reduce downtime, improve response time, and manage remote sites more efficiently.
