2.2.4 Using the SMP Gateway as a Communications Processor
The SMP Gateway architecture supports any number of slave components. Each component has
its own communications link, and all the device data can be sent to any number of SCADA and
control centers, each with its own protocol. Using the SMP Gateway, sending data to a new
control center is a simple matter of configuration.
