2.0 Literature Review


2.1 Introduction
The intention of this study is to investigate the potential of SCADA (Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition) technology in facilitating the automation and optimisation of operational
processes within the ABC industry. The complexity and magnitude of the operations have
surpassed the capacity of manual monitoring and control. The research will entail
comprehending diverse SCADA technologies and their configuration procedures, culminating in
an enhanced system that is both user-friendly and efficient.
The structure of the SCADA systems
1.1.1. Hardware and the message architecture
SCADA systems share a fundamental framework consisting of diverse units and their respective
functionalities, despite any variations that may exist between them. The society of making
procedures is smoothed by RTUs, PLCs, and IEDs. Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) establish
communication with the Master Fatal Unit (MTU) and transmit data to the Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system in an automated manner subsequent to the execution of
field plans. The MTU is linked to the HMI or SCADA system, which facilitates the monitoring
of process parameters, recording of data, and adjustment of control standards and set points as
necessary. [2] [3].
Figure 1: Structure of SCADA System
The teacher Terminal Unit (MTU) functions as the central hub of control in a Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, responsible for monitoring and managing the
flow of information. The establishment of a direct connection to the Humanoid Machine
Interface (HMI) is a crucial responsibility as it serves as the intermediary between the system
and its human users. The MTU possesses the ability to effectively oversee all remote terminals
situated within a wide geographical expanse, while also ensuring seamless operation of the
SCADA system via the implementation of specialised software. The software is comprised of
multiple components, including but not limited to a database connection, communication with
remote terminal unit (RTUs), and a user interface. It is designed to function on a computer
operating system.
In contrast, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) are apparatuses that establish a direct connection
with the physical systems under surveillance and regulation. They engage with the procedure in
actual time and collect information through diverse sensors and actuators. Remote Terminal
Units (RTUs) have the capability to employ various communication techniques, including but
not limited to twisted pair, optical fibre, coaxial cable, copper cable, and wireless protocols such
as Wi-Fi and ZigBee. The aforementioned devices retain the gathered data in their memory and
execute directives issued by the MTU. Moreover, they undertake crucial managerial and data-
gathering responsibilities.
(HMI) plays a serious role in the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system,
as it enables human operators to monitor and manipulate the controlled process. The Human-
Machine Interface (HMI) comprises computer repositories interconnected to the Machine
Technology Unit (MTU) through a network, intended to offer an easily navigable interface for
administrative purposes. The implementation of specialised software in SCADA facilitates a
lucid representation of the operational process, enabling operators to promptly react to any
unforeseen or anomalous occurrences. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) offers a
comprehensive perspective of the process, furnishing details on its advancement and facilitating
monitoring at various levels of abstraction. The HMI is comprised of crucial components such as
alarms, error messages, and deviations from norms.
The communication channel utilised for transmitting data between a server and Remote Fatal
Units (RTUs) is a crucial element of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system. The creation of this interaction can be facilitated through various means such as cable,
phone, or radio, while maintaining the requisite transparency. Irrespective of the mode of
connection, be it cable or radio, it is imperative that the commands and responses at the link level
remain unaltered by the method of connection.

To sum up, the conventional configuration of a SCADA system comprises the MTU (Master
Terminal Unit), RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) devices, HMI and the communication medium
that facilitates their interaction. Each of these components assumes a crucial function in the
supervision and control of industrial processes. The MTU facilitates a direct linkage to the HMI,
while the RTUs engage with the process in actual time and accumulate data. The HMI enables
human supervision and regulation, and the communication medium guarantees the lucidity of the
link-level concept of instructions and answers.

1.1.2. SCADA switch systems architecture


Regarding the implementation of management, three primary approaches can be discerned [6]:
i. Decentralized Governance ii. Centralized Governance
III. The Concept of Distributed Control.
The concept of local control entails the management of a process at its site of operation. The
interface of the controller facilitates the monitoring of the process and enables the configuration
of control parameters. The system utilises uncomplicated directives to establish communication
with the supervisory tier and furnish updates on its operational status and concerns. This
organisational structure is well-suited for uncomplicated systems in which the expense of
replicating the links to sensors as well as actuators is deemed unnecessary. Centralized control
involves the interconnection of all devices and actuators to a central location, typically a control
room, which houses the (MTU), (HMI), and other associated units. One benefit of employing
this methodology is that the operator is afforded a consolidated perspective of the complete
system, thereby enabling prompt action in the event of an unforeseen circumstance.
Nevertheless, this form of management incurs higher costs as a result of the necessity to
replicate the contacts to both the devices and actuators. Moreover, it is imperative that the
central controller is engineered to manage potential mishaps. This organisational structure was
formerly more widespread, but presently it is less frequently employed.

Figure 2: Typical SCADA System Architecture

The Dispersed Control approach, which combines the advantages of Resident Control and
Centralised Control, represents the third method of control. The system comprises of controllers
that are in proximity to the managed process, yet are linked via a network to a central control
hub. The central controller possesses the ability to access all pertinent management information
and execute modifications to control parameters and algorithms in a timely manner. The
advantage of this particular architectural design lies in its ability to offer a significant degree of
dependability. In the case of a malfunction in any of the controllers, the functioning of the
remaining controllers will remain unaffected. Moreover, even if there is a disruption in the
connection with the primary terminal, each controller can continue to operate independently.
Nevertheless, the utilisation of a network-based system may entail a plausible security hazard.
Given the susceptibility of the operational algorithm to external interference, it is imperative to
implement supplementary safeguards to prevent any unauthorised infiltration of the system.
Hence, it is imperative to incorporate adequate security protocols while utilising this particular
architectural framework to safeguard the system and its constituents.

2.2 Communication protocols


Protocols are of utmost importance in guaranteeing the effectiveness and stability of a SC-ADA
(Supervisory-Control and Data-Acquisition) system. Communication patterns between various
components, including the Chief Fatal Unit (MTU), Remote Fatal Units (RTU), and others, are
determined. The protocols in question delineate the regulations governing the exchange of data
and commands, encompassing the structure of messages transmitted via the MTU and RTU, the
process of addressing, as well as the monitoring and control of said processes. The conventional
communication model utilised in SCADA systems entails the Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
awaiting directives or inquiries from the Master Terminal Unit (MTU), and subsequently
executing the appropriate actions. In certain instances, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) may
autonomously transmit messages in the occurrence of a malfunction or crisis. The protocols
utilised in SCADA systems are engineered to optimise efficiency and minimise space
requirements, with a majority of these protocols being Internet-based. Modbus, DNP3, IEC
60870-5, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, and CAN open are among the frequently employed
protocols in SCADA systems. Every protocol possesses a distinct set of characteristics and is
employed in diverse applications, contingent upon the available resources. the scheme
Figure 3: The remote monitoring system topology

1.1.3. Modbus
The Modbus protocol is extensively employed in engineering control and mechanization
systems, particularly in SCADA systems for the purpose of supervisory control and data
acquisition. Initially created in 1979, this communication protocol has gained widespread
popularity over time. The Modbus protocol establishes a standardised set of guidelines and
structure for facilitating communication between a central terminal and remote devices, thereby
enabling the transmission of data and directives across various components of the network. The
proposed solution offers a straightforward, resilient, and economical approach to facilitate
communication among controllers, sensors, and actuators within industrial settings.
1.1.4. DNP3
For supervision control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, DNP3 (which stands for Dis
Network Protocol 3) is a popular industrial communication protocol. This protocol is frequently
used to track and oversee vital infrastructure, including pipelines for oil and gas, water treatment
facilities, and the production and distribution of electricity. The primary terminal, which is in
charge of gathering and managing the data, and the remote terminals have a secure, dependable,
and effective way to communicate thanks to DNP3. The protocol lays forth the rules and patterns
for interaction among the master terminal and the remote terminals, as well as the structure and
format of data. DNP3 is an excellent option for SCADA systems that demand high levels
operational functionality, dependability, and security because to its advanced capabilities,
including real-time control and observation, constantly changing data mapping, and extensive
security measures.
1.1.5. IEC 60870-5
The Global Electro technical Commission (IEC) has established a normative framework that
outlines the configuration and composition of communication messages. This framework
encompasses a range of information types, such as command and status data, alarms, and
telemetry data. The protocol has been specifically developed for implementation in power
systems and serves the purpose of facilitating the exchange of data between remote sub stations
and control centres. The IEC 60870-5 protocol provides a robust security framework that
encompasses cryptographic safeguards for communication data and message origin
authentication, thereby rendering it a crucial element for critical applications. The protocol
exhibits versatility in accommodating diverse SCADA system types by facilitating multiple
transmission modes, such as shortest steeplechase communiqué and multi-point announcement.
1.1.6. Prefab’s
Prefab’s, also known as Process Ground Bus, is a prevalent fieldbus communication protocol
employed in industrial automation to establish connections between control devices such as
programmable managers, spread I/O, sensors, and actuators. The technology facilitates
instantaneous communication within control devices and enables the transfer of process
information, event data, and diagnostic feedback. Profibus finds its application in diverse
domains such as process control, industrial automation, material handling, and systems for
energy administration. Furthermore, a substantial number of device manufacturers provide
support for it, thereby ensuring its compatibility and facilitating its integration into pre-existing
systems..
1.1.7. Foundation Fieldbus
It is a protocol created enabling field devices including VFDs, actuators, and sensor devices,
PLC controllers, which are drives, and HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) to communicate with
one another.) [13].

1.1.8. CAN open


This CAN (Controller Local Network) protocol serves as the foundation for the communication
protocol at heightened levels in SCADA, or supervision control and data acquisition, systems.
This protocol implements five of the seven OSI model layers: network, transportation session,
the application, and presentation. It is made for use in dynamic situations like those found in cars
and industrial equipment. The CAN protocol manages the lower two electrical and data
communication levels. These systems link PLC and an RTU controllers with sensors and
actuators. Recent years have seen the development of new protocols for SCADA systems that
incorporate current wire network protocols as TCP, IP, GPRS, 3G,-4G cell telephone networks,
internet admission, low-range broadcast via wireless conventions, ZigBee, and Bluetooth.

2.3 Summary
The discourse surrounding the configuration and transmission protocols of SCA-DA
(Supervisory Control and Data-Acquisition) systems has arrived at a pivotal point. The SCADA
system protocols have been intentionally crafted to possess a high degree of concision and
effectiveness in their information transmission. Recent years have witnessed the emergence of
various trends in the evolution of SCADA systems. One trend that has emerged is the increasing
diversity observed in the composition of SCADA systems, encompassing both the hardware
workings employed and the statement networks leveraged. Blended learning has emerged as a
prominent trend in modern educational approaches. The integration of conventional classroom
teaching with practical application, such as experimentation, is widely regarded as a highly
effective and auspicious pedagogical approach amidst the swiftly evolving educational milieu.

3.0 Analysis
3.1 Interview
A comprehensive understanding of Supervisory Control and Data Attainment (SCADA) systems
was sought through an interview conducted with the department head and engineering team of
ABC firm. The objective of the interview was to acquire information pertaining to the
challenges, costs, intricacies, and pragmatic know-how involved in the application of SCADA
systems, with a specific focus on the technical aspects of SCADA.
A significant hurdle in the development of a SCAD,A (Supervisory-Control and Data
Acquisition) system pertains to the presentation of data in a comprehensible format for human
operators and enabling intelligent control of managed systems. In response to this challenge, a
checklist of requirements for SCADA systems was formulated. These requirements include, but
are not limited to, the provision of detailed information display, the implementation of nuisance
alarm filtering, the establishment of 24/7 continuous pager and email notifications, the provision
of expansion capability, the establishment of geo-diverse backup, and the provision of support
for various protocols and equipment types.
The expenses associated with SCADA systems are subject to fluctuation based on the intricacy
of the system and the requisite functionalities. Low-cost open-source SCADA systems are
available; however, it is advisable to undertake a study to ascertain their appropriateness for the
monitoring and control of particular systems.
The level of complexity exhibited by SCADA systems may vary, ranging from rudimentary to
intricate. An elementary illustration of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
system could be a unidirectional circuit that apprises an operator of a singular occurrence, such
as an illuminated indicator denoting the fulfilment of an operation by a machine. Conversely, a
comprehensive Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system oversees numerous
processes across a broader geographical expanse and may entail greater intricacy.
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems have garnered positive reception
from their users. Harold Moses of KMC Telecom provides a practical illustration of the
application of SCADA, wherein it facilitated the retrieval of diverse equipment from different
manufacturers or providers through a unified interface, thereby ensuring reliability.
Supervisory Control and Information Gaining (SCADA) systems are susceptible to cyber threats
due to their susceptibility to manipulation by malevolent actors who possess network or device
access. Hence, it is advisable to adopt a defence-in-depth approach towards SCADA security by
utilising conventional information technology practises.

5.0 Design
The implementation and enlargement of a Guiding Switch and Data Gathering (SCADA)
arrangement at ABC corporation entailed the utilisation of an environment for the purpose of
monitoring and controlling industrial processes. The Data Integration Controller server,
commonly known as IoT, has been demonstrated to be a highly efficient solution with the
capability of remote guidance, control, and data monitoring and logging. The system has
undergone successful testing. The aforementioned design methodology obviates the necessity of
investing in costly licenced SCADA software tools, while simultaneously offering a
commensurate level of performance as that of remunerative software. Research has indicated that
the utilisation of open-source code within Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
systems can result in effective real-time functionality, particularly when implemented on the
Linux operating system. Several studies have been conducted to showcase the implementation of
open-source code in SCADA systems. Consistent with this, a sophisticated control system was
created utilising an IGSS application that was formulated within a specific environment, in
conjunction with a hardware interface. Industrial hardw,are and softwa,re have been instigated in
the commerce to assess their efficacy and correlate it with remunerative iterations of the same
undertaking. In summary, it can be inferred that the forthcoming trajectory of SCADA systems is
inclined towards IoT-based systems that are economically viable and inexpensive, predominantly
constructed from open-source alternatives. According to existing research, this particular
approach offers a notably effective and dependable solution for the purposes of monitoring and
controlling industrial processes.
4.2 Description of Designed System
The SCADA system is the bee's knees when it comes to keeping tabs on industrial processes. It's
a real whiz-bang technological solution that lets you regulate and monitor everything in a jiffy,
all through the magic of the internet. The whole shebang's main user interface is built in an IGSS
environment, giving you the power to keep tabs and run the show from any mobile device
through the world wide web. You can get your hands on the stored data in the IoT server by
using a pre-shared API key and password through the internet.

This system is the bee's knees! It lets you pull the strings from any device and keep an eye on
how things are going across the board. The nitty-gritty details are stored up in the cloud, and if
you ask nicely, we can whip up some fancy reports for you. The system's remote terminal unit
and Programmable Logic Controller are as thick as thieves, communicating through Modbus
exchange over the channel. The PLC and SCA-DA computer are like two peas in a pod, chilling
in the same local network. They're connected via an ethernet cable to the router, and then to the
Wide Area Network (WAN) to interact via the internet through The web of Things (IoT) devices.

.
Figure 5: The System

A VFD (Variable Rate Drive) controls the machines' power supply, and the same VFD also
sends control signals to the machines. For information exchange, the RS-485 link offers a safe
and dependable route for communicating from the PLC and the VFD. The solution offers access
to remote oversight and control finished the IoT server through the system interface presented to
the main computer in totaling to local supervision and running of the industrial process. As a
result, the business process may be easily scrutinized and managed from any point with internet
connectivity. [21].

6.0 Implementation & Testing

6.1 Introduction
The experimental setting was carried out at the ABC The organization's plant, and the results are
documented. The PLC (Programmable Logic Processor) received the signals provided by the IR
(Infrared) cameras and used them to issue the required control signals based on the sensor
condition. Push buttons nearby or the monitoring and data acquisition (SCADA) interface on the
main control computers both provide access to the tank control. The managerial control and data
achievement, or SCADA, network and the pushbuttons are combined in the control logic in an
XOR (Exclusively-OR) fashion so that any controller section may quickly access the tank
operations [22].
6.2 SCAD.A (Supervisory-Control and Data-Acquisition) System Design
The supervision control and data acquisition, or SCADA, system was developed using the IGSS
environment to get over the system's lower usability in small and medium-sized businesses due
to higher installation costs. To monitor and manage system properties, the created software has
the capacity to connect by ethernet to the parent PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in the
local area network and to the IoT ( or Internet of Things) server via internet protocol. The
software can be extended in accordance with the system requirements and is now being
developed to operate and monitor tow barrels in the stations for verification and testing purposes.
The IoT (Internet if Things) server attached to this software enables data collecting as well as
remote system control from any internet-connected device.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) was put in to connect the physical world
with inputs and outputs to the information acquisition system in order to ensure effective
interaction across field gadgets, local and stored in the cloud control devices, and immediate
form data and condition surveillance.

The inputs from the field sensors were sent to the SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition) in order to obtain immediate data about the machined units, and the output pins
were utilised to deliver the operation command to the actuators in order to carry out the required
process. The tank and PC exchange information via the serial link, which is first displayed ( the
screen before being sent to the data-storage room to maintain accuracy.

6.5 Data acquisition and system control


This endeavour has been temporarily hosted on Firebase on Google for testing purposes for the
data purchase, visualisation, and manipulation of the infrastructure through the use of IoT
(Internet of Things) hardware and servers. The API (Application Programme Interface) key and
passwords are used to encrypt the connection to the IoT (Internet of Things) server. Only the
server's data can be accessible using the pre-shared API (Application Programme Interface) key
and password, allowing for the necessary adjustments to be performed in the operation. For
faster and more secure system operation, the IoT (Internet for Things) server might be placed on
its web server.

industries, and all forms of process monitoring purposes. Cloud-based management systems are
further developing in this area for the moved monitoring and control of procedures from the
supervisory level. As a result, fewer workers are needed, decision-making takes less time, system
activities can be easily planned, and the system process is properly visualised.
We used a low-cost (SCADA), arrangement established in the IGSS situation and efficaciously
tested in the procedure monitoring and control of ABC company because commercial a SCADA
goods on the market are costly and exceed the cheap for small and average industries. The
system's testing has shown that we can operate the industry in a completely automated and
monitored environment while also lowering the investment costs associated with buying
software for monitoring the industrial process. The instigated artefact has a great deal of area for
advance and can be utilised in commercial subdivisions to subordinate making costs by
enhancing machine utilization and reducing the need for labour, as well as to improve product
quality by closely monitoring the process.
In order to create a SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, system and hardware
for the surveillance and oversight of the entire industry, the results achieved can also be applied
for commercial and educational reasons. The user interface can be made easier to use so that it is
possible to navigate directly from the webpage, and the Short Message Service (SMS) warnings
can also be delivered to system administrators in order to facilitate and grow the service.

7.1 Recommendations
The energy industry has recognised energy storage as a critical component in enhancing power
quality and minimising power production costs during peak hours. The successful management
of energy storage necessitates a sturdy and effective Supervisory-Control and Data-Acquisition
(SCADA) system.
Within the smart grid domain, there exists a requirement for cost-effective (SCADA) systems
capable of overseeing and regulating power converters that are connected to energy storage
systems. A research endeavour is currently in progress with the objective of creating an
economical SCADA system to oversee the functions of the AB,C trade, in order to bridge the
aforementioned disparity.
Through the attainment of these sub-objectives, the researchers aim to make a valuable
contribution to the expansion and progress of the energy sector by offering an economical yet
efficient approach to overseeing and regulating energy storage systems.
