TELEMETERING

   The measurement of some quantity with the aid of intermediate means which permit the measurement to be interpreted at a distance from the primary detector. The process that measures a quantity and then transfers the measurement data to a remote location to be recorded, displayed, or to control a process. FCC Definition: "use of telecommunication for automatically indicating or recording measurements at a distance from the measuring instrument. Strictly speaking, "telemetry" is the information that is collected, and "telemetering" is the process that collects and transfers the information.

   Technology advances allow reduction in size and power requirements. In addition, high speed computers allow the use of complicated algorithms for detection, encryption, and coding (compression). International Foundation for Telemetering (IFT) Purpose "The purpose of the IFT is to promote and stimulate technical growth in the field of telemetering and its allied arts and sciences. A telemetering system includes all components that are used to measure, transfer, and analyze the data. Although not all of these components are present in every telemetering system, and some systems may include other components.

SMCT302
Telemetry Measurement and Control System

Model: WM-TLMR-SMR-001

The SMCT302 - Telemetry Measurement and Control System, developed by Smar, is intended to monitor and to control industrial process variables in applications where the distances involved or the geographical conditions of the area makes it impractical to use cables.

Some of the chief benefits of the SMCT302 are:

  • The possibility of performing periodical measurements without the participation of operators,

  • The reduced cost when compared with conventional systems that make use of cables as the means of transmission, and

  • The possibility of using existing facilities such as telephone lines and transmission towers.

Besides the monitoring and control of process variables, the SMCT302 provides real time operation and maintenance, as well as status monitoring of all pieces of equipment involved in the process, which makes it possible to diagnose eventual failures in the system. All information collected by the SMCT302 are stored in a standard format data bank which may be used in reports, process optimization, statistic control and enterprise administration software.
