Cybersecurity for Industrial Plants: Threats and Defense Approach - Dave Hreha Schneider Electric
As presented at AIST 2014: The proliferation of cyber threats and recent facts have prompted asset owners in industrial environments to search for security solutions that can protect plant assets and prevent potentially significant monetary loss and safety issues
While some industries have made progress in reducing the risk of cyber attacks, the barriers to improving cybersecurity remain high. More open architectures and different networks exchanging data among different levels have made systems more vulnerable to attack.
With the increased use of commercial off-the-shelf IT solutions in industrial environments, control system integrity started to be vulnerable to malware originally targeted for commercial applications and already opened a new world of new threats dedicated for control systems.
The objective of this presentation is to describe a multi-layered Defense-in-Depth approach through a holistic, step-by-step plan to mitigate risk.

Advanced control foundation tools and techniquesEmerson Exchange
A new book on advanced control fundamental will be published by ISA in September, 2012. This book addresses all the advanced control products that are included in the DeltaV control system or are planned for a future DeltaV release. In this session two of the authors present and discuss key areas addressed in the book and demonstrate web site that accompanies the book.
The DeltaV PIDPlus is based on a modification of the PID reset and rate calculation to account for non-periodic measurement updates. An alternate approach is to use PID with a modified Kalman filter or modified Smith Predictor. Test results are presented that compare the PIDPlus to these alternate approaches.
Maximizing the return on your control investment meet the experts sessions part2Emerson Exchange
The design and commissioning of the controls associated with a continuous or batch process directly impact plant operating efficiency and production quality and throughput. In this session we review techniques that may be used to identify control opportunities to reduce production costs, minimize variations in product quality and to maximize production within the limits set by market demand. Several common application examples from the process industry will be used to illustrate how plant production rate and product quality are directly influenced by process control variation and constraints in plant operation. Starting with an assessment of control loop utilization and automatic control performance, a step by step process is outlined that may be used to identifying and addressing areas where it is possible to justified the time and material costs required to improve control performance. In particular, information will be provided on how to quickly tune single loop control of self-regulating or integrating process and to recognize when variations in control loop performance are not associated with loop tuning. An overview will be provided of tools and techniques that may be used to achieve best control performance over a wide variety of operating conditions. Also, guidance will be provided on when it is possible to justify the cost associated with the installation and commissioning of multi-loop techniques such as feedforward control, ratio and override control. The steps required to commission multi-loop control strategies will be address along with common mistakes to avoid. Also, input will be provided on how to recognize when advanced control techniques such as Fuzzy logic or MPC are needed to achieve the desired control performance. At the end of this session a drawing will be held to give away 10 copies of “Control Loop Foundation – Batch and Continuous Processes”. Many of the ideas discussed in this session are addressed in this book.
An electric grid alarming management system that works with real-time data is vital for optimizing network performance and safety. This system also must have the ability to finely tune alarms, to assure reliable event and condition notifications without overloading control room operators and reducing alarming effectiveness.
Schneider Electric’s Smart Alarming Management solution works seamlessly with the Schneider Electric Advanced DMS solution to put real-time data to work in the most effective and efficient manner. The robustness of this solution is due to its application to both database and system alarms. Configurable tools enable fast and reliable identification of event severity and specific filtering, prioritization and suppression. This approach assures that operator screens communicate what is needed, when needed. Displays provide comprehensive summaries of alarm status and actions performed that add to efficiency.
In particular, the Schneider Electric solution supports alarming management for defined areas of responsibility. Focusing on alarm capabilities at the AOR level optimizes both control and security for the network as a whole.
Smart Alarming management makes the most of the utility’s investment in its real-time information infrastructure. Together, they provide vital and relevant network information that enables operators to respond promptly and effectively to changing network conditions.
Addressing control applications using wireless hart devicesEmerson Exchange
Many WirelessHART transmitter applications require that the measurement valve be used in closed loop Control. The PIDPlus capability introduced in DeltaV v11.3 enables robust control using WirelessHART measurements. A PIDPlus enhancement in DeltaV v12.3 further improves the response for setpoint changes. Details of the PIDPlus and field results using WirelessHART transmitters and PIDPlus are presented in the workshop.
Migrating an automation system requires tremendous planning to avoid unpleasant outcomes. With decades of experience in hundreds of plants we’ve learned some important lessons that we will share with you in this next webinar.

[Oil & Gas White Paper] Control Room Management - Alarm Management Schneider Electric
Industry best practices call for pipeline operators to define a clear alarm management plan that helps avoid controller overload and ensures alarms are accurate and support safe pipeline operation. Review of controller workload is key in this program, as it can provide the most critical information on how to improve the performance of an alarm system and the controllers monitoring it. Controller performance can be impaired when deluged with too many SCADA alarms, a significant increase in the number of points being monitored and alarms related to communications, which all add to other attention-demanding activities not directly related to alarms.
Developing a program to analyze and continually improve the alarm system includes identification of the operator’s Alarm Philosophy: identifying what constitutes an alarm, who manages it, how it is managed and how training and change of management are carried out. Other best practices of an alarm management program include benchmark and performance audits; rationalisation to determine which SCADA alarms warrant response; and implementation, in an auditable manner, of actions defined.
When implementing an alarm management improvement program, the highest benefit is realised through strategies that involve little advanced technology. These high benefit strategies include alarm storm reviews, tuning alarm settings on nuisance alarms and fixing known issues; adjusting deadbands of repeating alarms; and eliminating alarms with no defined response. Strategies of medium benefit include suppression of alarms from ‘out of service’ stations; replacing absolute alarms with deviation alarms; and filtering, de-bouncing, or suppressing repeater alarms. Other advanced alarm improvement strategies that can provide additional benefit after initial strategies have been implemented include use of dynamic alarm thresholds, operator-set alarms and operational mode suppression. Tracking improvement in the alarm program after modifications are made is important, especially as operations bring in larger point counts.
Schneider Electric actively participates in industry alarm management programs to assure its advanced-technology Control Room Management solution targets best practices and meets new regulations for improved alarm management in the pipeline sector and other control implementations.
Utilizing DeltaV Advanced Control Innovations to Improve Control PerformanceEmerson Exchange
Many functions of the DeltaV system are unique in the process industry. In this presentation we explore and discuss innovative features of the DeltaV PID and embedded Advanced Control products that can be applied to improve control performance. In particular, PID options are addressed that enhance cascade and override applications and allow effective single loop control using a sampled or wireless measurement. Application examples are used to illustrate how MPC can be easily added and commissioned online with no changes in the existing control strategy. Also, continuous data analytics is used an example that illustrates how future tools will enable improvements to be made in plant operations.

Asset Managment...how to avoid costly impact of downtime; maintain multiple tools, devices and protocols; manage the risk of working remotely with the Foxboro Evo system.
A key part of implementing Volt-VAR control and optimization is to identify the benefits that can be attributed to VVO. The major challenge is to separate the impacts of VVO (i.e. the VVO benefits) from the impacts of factors not related to VVO, such as changing weather conditions, random customer behavior and routine operational changes (planned switching). Utilities on the panel have performed VVO measurement and verification using different methods. Each presenter will describe how the method works, data requirements, strengths and weaknesses of the approach and results. The session also will summarize work by the IEEE Volt-VAR task force to develop IEEE Guideline P1885 M&V of VVO projects for electric distribution utilities.

This is the last of a 3-part series "DCIM for High Availability" presented by GreenField Software. It first defines "high availability" and then gives instances of some recent high profile Data Center failures in spite of their robustness and extreme in-built redundancies. The business impact of Data Center failures is highlighted.
Data Center topology has changed in the last two decades as a result of the High Availability Mantra and new tools are required to effectively manage the Modern Data Center. DCIM Software today has matured to a level where it is no longer an option. Data Centers of all sized need to implement DCIM not just to reduce risks of Data Center failures, but also to arrest increasing capital costs and operating expenses.
GFS Crane DCIM Software is a great example as the two DCIM Case Studies show in this presentation.
The following GFS Crane capabilities have been included in this presentation:
- Improved Availability through Predictability, Visibility and Change Tracking.
- Controlling Capex Costs though better visibility of under-utilized capacities and therefore deferring expensive capital expenditures; and minimizing stranded capacities.
- Reducing Operating Expenses: Real-time monitoring and multi-level PUE helps to reduce power costs; automation of processes improves productivity; and rationalization of assets reduces AMC and space rentals.
The presentation concludes with two GFS Crane DCIM Case Studies: in Financial Services and Telecom verticals.
GreenField Software’s Mission is to help Data Centers control capital expenditures reduce operating expenses and mitigate the risks of Data Center failures. Besides DCIM Software, GFS offers Data Center Advisory Services in the areas of best practices, capacity planning, energy efficiency and business continuity of data centers.

20. What our clients say
Micky Burke, Data Centre Manager at The Co-operative Group
Manchester, United Kingdom
We have deployed this advance in monitoring and alerting technology upon our 'achilles heels' of deteriorating or fail-prone plant. We've already been
the beneficiary of its enhanced ability to detect a change in the plants operating characteristic, and prevented unplanned mission critical downtime as a
result.
Tony Williamson, Operations Director at Rentokil Initial
Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
We've recently rolled this product out to two of our clients to monitor and protect their critical data centre infrastructure and have recently benefited from
the addition of the AIM mobile app. The product is streets ahead of the competition and with the continuous development drive from Asset Handling, it
looks set to cement its position as the leader of this technology.
