Automation Committee Workshop Presentation 1 What is SCADA? How To Fund SCADA Projects?

What is SCADA? SCADA is a term for a type of system. The acronym stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition SCADA is a control system used to monitor and control operation of equipment such as pumps, valves, sensors and other instruments.

Human Machine Interface A SCADA system uses computers, industrial processors and networks to read field devices, make decisions, and control other field devices. MANUFACTURERS Rockwell - FactoryTalk Schneider - Citect Wonderware VTScada GE - iFix OpenSCADA Ignition HMI Human Machine Interface

Programmable Logic Controller A SCADA system uses computers, industrial processors and networks to read field devices, make decisions, and control other field devices. MANUFACTURERS Rockwell Allen-Bradley Schneider Modicon SCADAPack Siemens GE AutomationDirect Emerson PLC Programmable Logic Controller

Radio, Cellular, Ethernet, Modbus, Fiber Optic A SCADA system uses computers, industrial processors and networks to read field devices, make decisions, and control other field devices. Fiber Optic Copper Cellular Radio Radio, Cellular, Ethernet, Modbus, Fiber Optic

How to fund SCADA projects? Obsolescence SCADA software upgrade cycle is typically 5 years Hardware lifecycle is typically 15-20 years CIP Planning Identify SCADA needs in advance Add the costs for SCADA projects to the CIP Master Plans Either overall or SCADA Master Plans can help justify Are a formal document identifying a need and path Master Plans typically have a list of projects

How to fund SCADA projects? Add-on Strategies Take advantage of plant expansions or refurbishments Add fiber optic cable when installing underground assets like pipelines Follow the IT model and specify the right equipment and software Justifications Improve safety Downtime or spill costs versus more instrumentation and visibility Go from 24/7/365 to only M-F 8-5 operators Remote visibility/control for all Reduce energy and maintenance costs

Discussion Questions What are some misconception you had about SCADA systems? What funding strategies have you found successful for funding SCADA projects?
