Welcome audience, engineers, partners and clients. It has been a while since communicated with you on social media, so I hope you all well. So today I’d like to bring up the topic of the SCADA communication. And I’m sure you’ve been travelling this technology route really well and gained a lot of experience and understanding of the SCADA systems.
So today I’m going to revisit this topic. As you know, the SCADA stands for supervisory control and the data acquisition. It’s widely used in many industries. For example, power, water transport, oil and gas, renewable energy as the technology matures, and it can generate more and more efficiency for plant operation and business operation. So that’s why we see increasing trends of utilisation of the SCADA.
We at Ace specialised utilities industry. So, our slogan is engineering the smart utilities. So, we use SCADA design SCADA, deliver SCADA projects on daily basis. All our engineers are very fluent, very proficient with the various SCADA platforms such as Scitech SCADA, GeoSCADA or Clear SCADA, Factory Talkview and many other SCADA.
well. We also delve quite deeply into cloud-based SCADA. For example, ignition and VT SCADA. We are certified systems integrator for VT SCADA and already implemented our projects on the VT SCADA locally here in Australia.
it comes to communication protocols for SCADA, the common. Ones include DMP, three Modbus, Ethernet, IP and OPC. There are some other protocols. For example, IEC104 has been used quite a lot in the power system industry in Australia. However, the install base of the DNP3 is much larger, especially when it comes to the water industry and oil and gas industry.
In some scenarios, power systems also use the DNP3 . Here, MODBUS is also another prevalent communication protocol. It’s a much older protocol created in 1970s. Although it’s old protocol, it’s very simple, efficient to use. That’s why it’s also been widely used even for the remote control and monitoring as well. As technology being developed, DNP3 is being matured as well.
So DMP3 is known for its timestamp, functionality, buffered, event functionality and the. Security as well. It’s designed for the long-distance communication,
if you have an asset in a remote area. And when it comes to Ethernet IP, it’s widely used in the planned operation. We have seen it’s been used for the remote monitoring and alarms monitoring for a remote location. But it’s been used less in that way, more in the local plant-based automation.
The other protocol is called OPC, and OPC UA becomes popular as the automation develops itself because it has not only the timestamps, the alarms, event and information, but also it can be integrated seamlessly into the data historians. So that brings a lot of advantages for the clients they don’t have to do protocol conversion between the field device SCADA and the data historian, so everything can be streamlined, and the record can be kept and fed straight into the data historian.
That will create a lot of efficiency when it comes to engineering, system integration, and also for keeping the integrity of the data as well.
We are executing a lot of projects currently on SCADA. One of the projects we’re executing using DNP3 protocol to establish trust, secure and reliable communication between our stations and the GeoSCADA, and that particular application is for a local water industry.
