2 - Background Company & Background was formed in 1998 and currently has 48 employees. We specialise in: Plant Automation PLC programming on all major platforms including Siemens, Allen Bradley, Schneider etc. SCADA systems. is a Certified Systems Integrator for Wonderware Intouch. Electrical Engineering Power Generation Systems design, standby diesel & CHP, Windfarms Process Control Systems/Solutions Gas Transmission/Distribution Utilities Control Solutions Pharmaceutical

3 What is SCADA? Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition Central Visualisation for plant processes High resolution Typically 1 Second Data Large Historian 5,000 to 60,000+ Plantwide Not to be confused with BMS Systems

4 Navigation GUI simple navigation Screen Layout Intuitive Read from top left to bottom right. Object Oriented Valves, Motors etc., all standard design for ease of use by Operators

5 Human Factors Operators viewing screens for long durations. Screen colour contrast Time-stamped Alarm Alerting System

6

7 SCADA can display live Production / Commercial data Monitor throughput and system efficiencies

8 Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Only need to see critical data at a glance Relevance Display Relevant Data only. Avoid cramped screens Aggregated SCADA systems display hourly/daily/weekly totals Models Boiler System/Refrigeration System Models Batching System Models Reports Preconfigured reports becoming less important with live data. Dynamic Reports

9 KPI s Relevance Aggregated Models Financial Reports

10 Vendor Selection Critical 15 year life Main Vendors: Wonderware Intouch & MES (New Platform) Rockwell Factorytalk View Siemens WinCC GE Fanuc ifix Schneider Vijeo Citect SCADA systems will generally integrate will all PLC types. System Platform Next generation SCADA. Object oriented systems, plantwide. Central Server based, moving away from plant floor PC s or servers. Virtualisation & Thin Clients Thin clients are low cost PC s. Limited computational demand. Computational role fulfilled by main system server.

11 Remote Access Now a basic requirement of SCADA systems. Live remote monitoring. Remote alarming via text message services of relevant critical alarms to relevant personnel. Wireless / Mobile Future of SCADA systems. Wireless communications to instrumentation will increase. Desktops/laptops will be a thing of the past. Cloud based data storage.

12 How can SCADA systems reduce energy costs? 1. Immediate notification of reduction in KPI s 2. Continuous live update of financial data available to key personnel 3. Advanced warning of potential equipment issues through efficiency reductions 4. Detailed alarming to help pinpoint problems, reduce fault-finding time/downtime. 5. Large Historian. Potential problems can be monitored through logged data. 6. Plantwide energy monitoring identifying areas where energy is inefficiently wasted, e.g.: Compressed air leaks etc.

13 Systems ideally suited for SCADA Retrofit include: 1. Plant looking to reduce energy costs. 2. Plants looking to integrate existing standalone utilities into 1 Energy system. 3. Process plants controlled by PLC s. SCADA system can easily integrate into system for visualisation. 4. Batch process plants. MES systems are ideally suited for monitoring throughput/yields etc. 5. Wastewater treatment plant ideally suited to PLC/SCADA control systems. Historian critical for these processes. 6. SCADA ideal for small power plants. Larger power plants should be visualised by MES type systems.
