Practical DNP3 and Modern SCADA SystemsLiving Online
This manual covers the essentials of SCADA communication systems focusing on DNP3 and the other new developments in this area. The manual commences with a brief review of the fundamentals of SCADA systems hardware, software and the communications systems (such as RS-232 and RS-485 Ethernet and TCP/IP) that connect the SCADA operator stations together.
A solid review is then done on the DNP3 protocol where its features, message structure, practical benefits and applications are discussed. The manual is intended to be product independent but examples will be taken from existing products to ensure that all aspects of the DNP3 protocol are covered. The manual provides you with the tools to design your next SCADA system more effectively using DNP3 and draw on the latest technologies.

Explore 5 types of power distribution units (PDU) and a few considerations for your next PDU along with a quick note about remote power and 2 cooling strategies.
This excellent session by Alexander Bolshev (@dark_k3y) was a very pleasant surprise, and it's a bit frustrating that it is one of the three lost S4x14 videos.
We were concerned that it would be a bit S4x13 / insecure by design / low hanging fruit, but HART has received so little attention that we thought it was worth including in S4x14. HART is widely used in DCS to connect controllers and instruments. The HART Foundation says over 30 million HART devices are deployed.
Alexander covers the protocol in the early slides, but make sure you look at slides 16-21 where he shows how he can change the RTU's Polling Unit ID (who the RTU expects to poll it) to create a man-in-the-middle attack.
There are a number of other HART protocol attacks described, but I was most interested in his HRT Shield board - a high-power low-noise HART modem Arduino shield for sniffing, injecHng, and jamming current loop. He brought over some boards that we are building up to have in our Rack when we go out on an assessment.
I should note, mainly to avoid an email from Jeff, that WirelessHART has integrated security such as source/data authentication and encryption. As we walk through plants and factories we are seeing a number of these WirelessHART devices. They are easy to spot because they can be deployed in the most physically convenient place without worrying about wiring.
The Panduit no battery, maintenance-free UPS easily integrates with zone networks, featuring many benefits including remote device management and lower risk of downtime.
Data Acquisition involves sampling real world information like temperature, pressure, current, and converting them into numeric values for a computer. A data acquisition system includes sensors, data acquisition hardware, and PC. Our complete line of Analog and Digital Data Acquisition hardware support Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNet protocols for your various data acquisition needs.

Frequently the most immediate financial return we can get from gathering data from things (and making decisions on that data) is from existing installed assets, rather than new build projects. The problem is that those assets often have not been designed or installed with monitoring in mind.
This talk examines such a project in the Electricity Distribution business, and the critical challenges imposed by dealing with the practical problems of what is already installed, rather than assuming a clean sheet of paper.

Industrial monitoring and control systems using andriod applicationAvinash Vemula
Automation takes the complete control of total plants few authentication and manual actions are needed from user side for completing action .Hence there is a must situation for users presence at all times in the control for taking some timely needed control actions. The proposed system provides a good solution to this problem. The whole control room environment is additionally implemented in the arm-android platform and the same is communicated to the process through Bluetooth. Now the user in control can use mobile at anytime, anywhere to monitor and control the whole plant.8051 is used here for acquiring process control parameters from the sensors like temperature, gas etc and transmitting it via a Bluetooth module to an android device. Hence the parameter values can be monitored and stored simultaneously.
