- 12. Evolution of theSCADA architecture Build Out of Test & Development Systems – Recognized best practice • Early T&D systems were a copy of just the real-time SCADA – Historical servers where added – Modern “T&D” systems are now fully distributed SCADA system with all the replicated, redundant systems – RTU’s and PLC’s were added so that polling and protocol changes could also be tested
- 13. Evolution of theSCADA architecture Build Out of Test & Development Systems. – New points or bulk changes need to be applied to the production system – “Pivot and transfer” tools will filter down to the changes made and then provide a workflow to move changes to the destination system • provides an auditable record of the changes made (recorded in the event journal on the receiving system)
- 14. Evolution of theSCADA architecture Adoption of Decision Support Systems (DSS) • Delivers SCADA Data to Enterprise; protecting production SCADA – Originally serving casual users – DSS systems receive replicated near real-time and historical information providing a safe and secure place to access SCADA data – Firewalled to be able to receive the SCADA data from production and provide corporate access for a multitude of purposes – As the business value of the DSS was realized, redundancy and availability and redundant match the overall architecture
- 15. Evolution of theSCADA architecture Examples of DSS Utilization • Source for Reports (RealTime and Historical) – SharePoint – Web services – Reporting services – Safer ad-hoc queries and trial reports • Engineering and operational reviews – Efficiency, regulatory and safety reviews • longer term retention of history – Leak detection performance and threshold analysis • Alarm management
- 16. Evolution of theSCADA architecture Log Servers • Error Logs are a key part of any computerized engineering solution – In some cases, the volume of error information generated has become the root cause of a system failure – And the information being written to the log was lost • In order to prevent loss of critical log information and to make sure that an error logging subsystem can never take down a live sever, separate Log Servers are now being architected into the overall SCADA system solution. – Additional benefits are the consolidation of all application logs into a common centralized repository
- 17. Real-time Video Surveillance •Smart video cameras offer virtual monitoring providing intelligence to make well-informed process decisions • Industrial video cameras alarm when temperatures exceed limits – only meta-data transmitted • Video cameras detecting natural gas releases have matured and are being installed as hardened industrial cameras monitoring remote stations • Recent improvements to the hydrocarbon filters enable these cameras to detect liquid hydrocarbon releases on water – complimenting conventional CPL leak detection
- 18. Mobile SCADA The complexand extremely sensitive nature of critical infrastructures tend to not lend themselves to the convenience of data on mobile phones or tablets • Conversely, many SCADA systems feed information into dashboards that provide important business intelligence – Decision makers are looking for up-to-date information whether sitting at their desk or at the airport
- 19. Mobile SCADA • ManySCADA systems can now provide remote alarm monitoring on tablet devices – If a controller takes an extended break longer a formal shift handover procedure may need to be executed – With remote alarm monitoring, controllers can stay plugged into their terminal and watch for critical alarms while on a short break or meeting • Mobile solutions allow technicians to take readings in the field and verify displays with mobile HMI clients, using the same displays as the control room – Reducing the manpower required for the commissioning/ verification effort
- 20. SCADA Collaboration forIncident Response • SCADA is the nerve center for highly complex real-time operations in both normal and abnormal operating conditions – When a serious incident takes place, it becomes an “all hands on deck” situation – Operations shift from maintaining safe operations to mitigating the circumstances – A “war room” environment is invaluable to provide up-to- date information to the decision makers responsible for the actions taken – SCADA information is key, but only part of the labyrinth of information needed for emergency response
- 21. SCADA Collaboration forIncident Response Incident Management – Real-time incident tracking and situational monitoring • Tools present disparate information from multiple data sources, visualized dynamically & updated with data fusion, correlation, and alerts • Within this “integrated at the glass” environment, collaborative User-Defined Operating Pictures (UDOP) and/or Common Operating Pictures (COP) are created with little or no programming • Data fusion provides for instant visualization, correlation, and analysis including 2-D and 3-D GEO mapping
- 22. GIS in theControl Room • Integration of GIS data with real-time data has been slower than anticipated – Using a map to navigate an HMI is not GIS • Merged applications need to be carefully planned to ensure that the human factors involved with the increased data is effective and not disruptive to normal operations • The integration of SCADA and GIS data on the DSS platform can support both spatial and real-time data while protecting the live production SCADA system – Updating GIS in real time using publish and subscribe technology
- 23. GIS in theControl Room Using the DSS architecture you can choose right GIS applications such as: – Right-Of-Way / Permitting – Maintenance / Inspection Reporting – Emergency Operations – Asset Accounting and Tax Valuation – Alignment Sheet Generation – One-Call Response – Compliance Reporting – Risk Assessment • Maintaining the command & control integrity of the mission critical SCADA system
- 24. Management of Change CRMregulations focus on ensuring changes that effect control center operations are communicated to controllers – In order to do this efficiently, it has become necessary to better manage all elements of SCADA system change • Change management tools such as source control and version management provide some MOC functionality – More comprehensive change management processes and procedures have become another requirement for full- featured SCADA systems
- 25. Management of Change MasterDatabases Multiple copies of the SCADA database complete with change- sets that provide the ability to revert to earlier versions, along with auditing tools that provide verification of the change process, will ensure all change follows the defined process – Reports provide the evidence required to confirm the actions taken Change Enforcement Automatic enforcement when discrepancies are found between the master and the production system is possible – However due to the requirement to inform controllers of any changes made to the system, caution must be used

- 27. Computing Technologies Continuing PerformanceImprovements – 64 Bit Computers/OS – Solid State Drives – SQL 2012 (Performance and Analytics) – Storage Area Networks (SAN’s) • Readily accessible archived data – Untethered Keyboard & Mouse – Circadian Lighting 27
- 28. Computing Technologies Virtualization • Providinginnovative new architectures – Obvious benefits – cost • Power, deployment, Footprint – Increased SCADA functionality • Snapshot, cloning for backup and testing • SCADA Industry cautiously adopting virtualization • Testing, Engineering Stations, Decision Support • Small Systems 28
- 29. Future SCADA What wasscience fiction in the recent past is now reality. Next generation HMI’s may include: – LED projected keyboards – HMI navigation by eye movement – Control room displays viewed via “google glasses’ to increase situational awareness – Laser holograms that display station equipment in 3D providing the most realistic representation of remote equipment and related information as technologically possible
- 30. Future SCADA Domestic drones& driverless vehicles for continuous surveillance – For third party intrusion and leak detection along pipelines, right of ways, and other critical infrastructures Mobile surveillance units will likely be configured as a node in the SCADA system and provide another form of input made available in real- time to SCADA.
- 31. The Future isNow…. The technological offerings from the future keep on arriving at a continually faster pace • SCADA professionals remain current with new and emerging technology however the industry tends to take a more conservative approach – Only adopting technology that aligns with all the drivers and best practices of each industry – Economics pressures will not be relenting any time soon, so cost reduction is always a major factor • Any technology that has the ability to improve public safety and protect the environment will find its way from the future to the present
