1️⃣ 🎯 Functional Purpose
The Squid-5N-client is designed for:
- 📡 collecting and transmitting data from connected sensors and devices over GSM/Internet networks;
- 📥 receiving commands from SCADA systems via mobile Internet using the Modbus RTU protocol;
- 🔄 enabling two-way data exchange for monitoring and controlling remote facilities;
- 🛡 establishing a secure and stable communication channel between field equipment and the dispatching center.
Thus, the Squid-5N-client serves as a remote node in dispatching and telemetry systems.
2️⃣ 🔧 Functional Capabilities
- 📊 Data acquisition from connected sensors (temperature, pressure, level, digital input states).
- 🔗 Support for communication protocol – Modbus RTU.
- 📤 Data transmission to the server via GPRS/3G/4G.
- 📥 Receiving control commands from the central system via mobile Internet.
- ⚡ Control of output channels (equipment switching on/off, relay control).
- 🗄 Local data archiving with deferred transmission after connection recovery.
- 🛡 Fault tolerance – data buffering and automatic restoration after network failure.
- 🔑 Option for encrypted communication channel to ensure secure data transmission.
