    Motorola MDLC Protocol: Your Global SCADA & Telecommunications Partner

    Uploaded by

    Zoheir Redouane Zahzah
    The document discusses the Motorola MDLC protocol, which is a 7-layer protocol optimized for SCADA systems. It provides packet switching, error detection, routing of data in complex networks, and allows simultaneous sessions. The protocol layers handle functions from the physical transmission of data to the application content. MDLC supports various communication methods between SCADA devices like polling, contention, polling of exceptions, RTU-to-RTU messaging, and store and forward routing.

    Motorola MDLC Protocol


    Introduction
    MDLC - Wide Area Network 7 Layer Protocol

    • Packet Switching
    • High Data Transmission Rate
    • Error Detection
    • Adjusts itself for short or long messages
    • Routing of data in complex networks
    • Simultaneous “sessions” on one physical link
    OPTIMIZED FOR SCADA
    Functions of the MDLC Protocol Layers
    • The actual content of the message.
    Application • Functions required to maintain the SCADA System:
    Polling, Control, Events, Diagnostics etc.
    • Format Conversion
    Presentation
    • Compression, Encryption and Authentication
    • Session control and message synchronization
    Session • Ability to conduct several sessions simultaneously
    • End-to-end flow control
    • Sequencing and acknowledgment of “complete data”
    Transport
    • Multiplexing of logical channels
    • Data routing (among different types of links)
    Network • Network layer addressing (“source”- “destination”)
    • Communication fail handling and re-routing
    • Frame sequencing and acknowledgment
    Link • Link layer addressing (“From”-”To”)
    • Channel access priorities
    • Bit/byte level encoding/decoding
    Physical • Channel access and media interface:
    Radio, RS-232, RS-485, IP based, etc.

    Channel Access Mechanism

    A good RF modem protocol


    provides higher channel
    availability defined by a Simple protocols
    Mean time to clear avalanche

    pre-set system priority

    MDLC provides:
    - Carrier Monitoring
    - Queue, slots number
    - ACK w/o Delay ( keep RF on )
    - Dynamic Queuing

    MDLC

    0 25 50 75 100
    Number of RTU’s in avalanche
    Communication Methods - Polling
     The Control Center interrogates Tank Station/s
    (polls) the RTUs for data. 1
     Polling Schedule (cycle) upon: RTU
    – Scheduled time
    – Operator’s request event 2
    RTU

    RTU
    4 Pumping Station/s

    RTU
    Communication Methods – Contention (“Burst”)

     Autonomous report of an RTU to the


    Control Center Tank Station/s
    – Upon significant event (COS)
    – Transmission cycle: Cannel RTU
    Monitoring, Transmission,
    Acknowledgment
    – Possible Collisions RTU
    – Retries if no Acknowledgment

    Communication Methods - “Polling of
    Exceptions”
    Tank Station/s
     Polling (initiated by Control center)
     The reply contains only new data
    (upon COS = change of state) RTU

    Pumping Station/s

    RTU
    Communication Methods - RTU-to-RTU
    Tank Station/s
     A message from one RTU to
    another

    Example:
     A “control” message to
    activate a pump, upon
    RTU
    detection of low level in the
    storage tank

    Pumping Station/s
    Communication Methods - “Store & Forward” Routing
    (“Data Repeater”)
