Reliable Remote Pipeline Monitoring Systems over Cellular Networks

Application Introduction

Monitoring the pressure, flow and liquid leakages of pipelines used to transfer water, petroleum, and

natural gas is a complicated task, because those pipelines are usually located in isolated areas where

wired communication devices are not available� Consequently, these networks have come to rely on radio

communications� Using radio communications is cost effective but a major disadvantage in terms of the

limits on data transmission speeds� Are there other options for utility companies seeking a more reliable

and efficient remote monitoring system�

ioLogik W5300 series cellular RTU controller

• Easily manage devices over dynamic/private IP cellular networks

• Active communication with patented Active OPC Server™

Moxa’s ioLogik W5340 is a line of cellular RTUs designed specifically

for remote pipeline monitoring systems� Compared with RF monitoring

solutions, cellular networks offer a more cost efficient way to build

remote monitoring systems� Traditional cellular products use polling

to request data, which requires both a costly static and public IP; but

when using the patented Active OPC Server, the ioLogik W5340 can

actively update data to the SCADA system regardless of what kind of IP

address it uses� In addition, in comparison to polling systems, active

reporting provides a way to increase data throughput when receiving

real-time data from the remote location� In addition, the ioLogik

W5300 series also supports local intelligence, so its control logic

can be executed and stored in the front-end device for a truly PC-free

solution�
