Direct to controller integration -Not implemented yet, we are gathering data from SCAs through various interfaces -First attempt will be with Bachman controllers through the IEC 64500 protocol but still there is a manufacturer over layer presenting limitation 5 5
Direct to controller integration - Pros Accessing the entire set of data Accessing and modifying the parameters Sending commands to the controller Direct Access, no need of a third party software to gather data (often expensive) better data covering rate We could completely integrate our assets into PI System without having to use legacy SCAs (to send commands or change parameters) 6 6
Direct to controller integration - Cons Protocol used by the controllers, is a native PI System interface available? Manufacturer warranty? Are the manufacturers willing to give full access to the controllers? 7 7
Future Plans and Next Steps Test the IEC 64500 protocol with the Bachman controllers 8

Standard Variable Interface (SVI) 8
Opinion: Pros/Cons Removed layer of complexity - Proprietary nature of Vendor SCA removed for increased availability. Lower maintenance, hardware, configuration, OPC tuning. Increased ability to control power, voltage, fault diagnostics. No communications delays, direct interaction with turbine controller. Data path is distributed SCA has Alarm & Control PI System has historical Data Acquisition 9
Opinion: Pros/Cons Turbine Variable Mapping Alarm handling / Subscription vs polling Security Need to control network access Development Need Controller buffering and control of QA/QC commissioning May limit access to Hi Resolution data from faults due to proprietary system - Challenge 30

Panel Discussion Presented by 38
Thank you
Questions: What methods of direct to controller integration would you find important to you? CFO Question: What kind of returns do you expect you will achieve by going direct to the controller? What incremental cost or savings do you expect by going direct to the controller? DC - Is this a case of 'gather the data' then determine the analytics? What improvements to your SCA data do you expect? What is the killer app for this scenario? Will this create a 'data asset' that will add value to the equipment? 40
