SCADA/HMI building automation system

advantages
Using SCADA platforms for your building automation
system allows you to get exactly the features and
capabilities you want now and in the future as your
needs grow.
SCADA systems are powerful, robust and flexible.
SCADA is robust Manufacturers, water treatment and
other operations have been relying for decades on
SCADA systems to control their processes.

Integratability
Over the years, users have demanded that SCADA system developers
enable connectivity with the unlike systems and networks with their
plants.
This openness is highly beneficial for building automation systems with
the many diverse component systems to be integrated.
Flexibility
SCADA systems are scalable and upgradeable.
Reporting
Which reports do you want where at what time? Want to see status on
all your systems from any web browser anywhere, even from your
smartphone?
With SCADA, you can do it. As you can also, if you chose, enable
control over remote connections.

SCADA Alarms and Phone Dialer

System Concept of SCADA

Communication and software
The SCADA consist of Hardware and
Software components.
The hardware collects and feed data into a
computer with SCADA software installed.
The data is then processed by the computer
before presenting it in a timely manner.

CONTROL/ MONITOR FUNCTION

A system or the complete site is usually

spread over a long geographical
distance, SCADA is the central system
for control and monitor of such a site or
system.

SCADA

System Concept of SCADA

A Programmable Logic Controller

(PLC) or Remote Terminal Unit
automatically performs the main site
control process.

The host control functions in most

cases are limited to the capability of
supervisory level or site override.

SCADA

System Concept of SCADA

SCADA SUBSYSTEM
HMI-is the apparatus which presents the
process data to a human operator, and
through this, the human operator monitors
and control the process.
a supervisory(computer) system, gathering
(acquiring) data on the process and sending
commands(control) to the process.
SCADA

System Concept of SCADA

RTU-connecting to sensors on the process,

converting sensor signals and sending digital
data to the supervisory systems.

PLC-used as field devices because they are

more economical, versatile, flexible, and
configurable than special purpose RTU.

Communication infrastructure connecting the

supervisory system to the RTU.

System Concept of SCADA

System Concept of SCADA

System Concept of SCADA

Data Acquisition begins at the RTU or PLC level
and includes meter readings and equipment status
reports that are communicated to SCADA as
required.
Data is then compiled and formatted in such a way
that a control room operator using the HMI can
make supervisory decisions to adjust or override
normal RTU (PLC) controls.

Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)

Unit

What is RTU?
An RTU monitors the field digital and analog parameters and
transmits data to the Central Monitoring Station. It contains setup
software to connect data input streams to data output streams,
define communication protocols, and troubleshoot installation
problems.
An RTU may consist of one complex circuit card consisting of
various sections needed to do a custom fitted function or may
consist of many circuit cards including CPU or processing with
communications interface(s), and one or more of the following:
(AI) analog input, (DI) digital input, (DO/CO) digital or control
(relay) output, or (AO) analog output card(s).

SCADA

RTU
a microprocessor-controlled electronic device that
interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed
control system or SCADA (supervisory control and data
acquisition) system by transmitting telemetry data to a
master system, and by using messages from the master
supervisory system to control connected objects.
Another term that may be used for RTU is remote
telemetry unit, the common usage term varies with the
application area generally.

Two basic types of RTU:

1. Single board RTU

2. Modular RTU

SCADA

Single board RTU

which is compact, and contains all I/O on
a single board. The single board RTU
normally has fixed I/O (eg.16 digital inputs, 8
digital outputs, 8 analogue inputs, and say 4
analogue outputs).

Modular RTU
which has a separate CPU module, and can
have other modules added, normally by
plugging into a common "backplane" (a bit like a
PC motherboard and plug in peripheral cards) is
designed to be expanded by adding additional
modules.

Comparison with other control

systems
RTUs differ from programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in that
RTUs are more suitable for wide geographical telemetry.
RTUs, PLCs and DCS are increasingly beginning to overlap in
responsibilities, and many vendors sell RTUs with PLC-like
features and vice versa.
In addition, some vendors now supply RTUs with comprehensive
functionality pre-defined, sometimes with PLC extensions and/or
interfaces for configuration.
Some suppliers of RTUs have created simple graphical user
interfaces GUI to enable customers to configure their RTUs easily.
In some applications data loggers are used in similar applications.
SCADA

Applications of RTU
Remote monitoring of functions and instrumentation for:
Oil and gas (offshore platforms, onshore oil wells).
Networks of pump stations (wastewater collection, or for water
supply).
Environmental monitoring systems
(pollution, air quality, emissions monitoring).
Mine sites.
Air traffic equipment such as navigation aids.

FUTURE TRENDS IN SCADA

First generation: "Monolithic
Second generation: "Distributed
Third generation: "Networked"

FUTURE TRENDS IN SCADA

First generation: "Monolithic"

In the first generation, computing was done by mainframe computers.

Networks did not exist at the time SCADA was developed.
Thus SCADA systems were independent systems with no connectivity
to other systems. Wide Area Networks were later designed by RTU
vendors to communicate with the RTU.
The first-generation SCADA system was redundant since a back-up
mainframe system was connected at the bus level and was used in the
event of failure of the primary mainframe system.

SCADA

FUTURE TRENDS IN SCADA

Second generation: "Distributed"
The processing was distributed across multiple stations which were
connected through a LAN and they shared information in real time.
Each station was responsible for a particular task thus making the
size and cost of each station less than the one used in First
Generation.

SCADA

FUTURE TRENDS IN SCADA

Third generation: "Networked"
Due to the usage of standard protocols and the fact
that many networked SCADA systems are accessible
from the Internet, the systems are potentially
vulnerable to remote attack.
