Scantric is the heart of an excellent price/performance SCADA system. It has:
- 8 analog or digital inputs
- 6 open collector outputs
- An RS-232 Serial Asynchronous communication port
- Programmable parameters in non volatile memory

Depending on the loaded firmware option, SCANTRIC modules can be polled by the control center using either
MODBUS RTU or Cellular Short Message Service (SMS) communication protocol.
D86-M8-MODBUS option is intended to work as remote terminal unit (RTU) in conventional control
center polled SCADA networks. The MODBUS protocol is one of the most widely used standards in automatic
and distributed system communications.
D86-M8-SMS option allows to turn a cellular phone into a low cost control center. To accomplish this
function, programmable messages are stored in the NV memory for later transmission of event information.
Furthermore, the operator can send commands and poll any variables from the same cellular phone.
D86-M8-Repeater modules allow digital equipment (DTE) with no handshaking signals to control radio
transceiver's PTT. They receive data from DTE then, after a programmed interval, They transmit this
information through a radio channel. The time required for carrier stabilization before data transmission is also
programmable.
With proper register settings and hardware connections, Repeater modules can also work as MODBUS units.
When used in repeater mode, They lack MODBUS, data acquisition and remote control funtions.
