Abstract
The outcome of this research work is focused on optimized the design of wireless link for an FPGA based RemoteTerminal Unit (RTU). A situation representing multiple RTUs communicating with one Telecontrol Interface (TCI) developed to address optimized implementation of wireless SCADA. It was then further verified by means of benchmarking. The hardware implementation and verification of this particular RTU design has been done using a starter kit based on XILINX Spartan-3 Series FPGA with 500K logic gates and MHX-2400 frequency hopping2.4 GHz spread-spectrum communications module which is used as Telecontrol Interface. The FPGA based RTU isflexible in terms of I/Os, CPU and radio related configurations and any expansion in design can be accommodated quickly if needed as FPGA based designs are reconfigurable. However, the integration of MHX-2400 had been examined and found suitable as Telecontrol Interface for this development.
