SCADA Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. This term represents any computing system
(such as a building management system, alarm panel, or control room HMI) designed
to perform high-level control and monitoring over various subsystems. On the EMCP 4
GSC, we provide SCADA interfaces to allow any SCADA systems to connect and
collect data about the operations of the control and the generator set(s).
RTU Remote Terminal (or Transmitter) Unit. This term refers to a Slave device in a SCADA
network that interfaces real-world objects with a system Master. The EMCP 4 GSC
functions as an RTU on a SCADA system.
SPN Suspect Parameter Number. Any parameter whose data is transmitted over a CAN
network, such as the EMCP 4 Primary or Accessory Data Link. For a complete list of
SPNs supported by the EMCP 4, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code List in the
Systems Operation Troubleshooting Testing and Adjusting guide.
