What is SCADA?
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition Typically – Lower Level Controls Completely Automated
Supervisory Control
• Operations Making Higher Level Decisions, Adjust Set Points, etc.
• Using Process Measurement to Adjust Set Point Automatically
Data Acquisition
• Collect Data Automatically
MWEA 2015 Page 9| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Supervisory Control Examples
To Control a Parameter it Must be Measured
To Control a Parameter There Must be a Controllable Device (VFD, Valve, Gate Position, etc)
Math and Algorithm Capabilities in PLCs are Unlimited
Add, Sub, Mult, Divide, Square Root, All Trig Functions, Log, Ln and Compute
Controllers range from simple to complex (On/Off, Level, Flow, DO, etc)
Subtract Cruise
Controller Throttle/
Engine
Speedometer
Set Point = 70 MPH
Measured Speed= 65 MPH
Error = -5 MPH More Gas
Controllable Device

DO
V2 DO is controlled to set point by the Valve V1 Ammonia can be controlled by changing DO setpoint in a feed forward manner or if Temperature is low by changing set point of the wasting rate to a lower value via Valve V2 (SRT)

Steps to Choosing Your Path Forward
Step 1: Inventory Existing
System
MWEA 2015 Page 14| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Inventory Existing System
Hardware
PLCs
Computers & Servers
Network Components
Control Wiring

Inventory Existing System
Software
SCADA
• Software Revision
• License Information
Historical & Reporting
Alarm
Step 2: Network Architecture
MWEA 2015 Page 18| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Network Architecture
How the individual components of the system communicate with each other
Network Diagram
All major components in the system
Physical Media
Fiber, Coax, Cat6, etc
Protocol
Rules Define How Information is Exchanged
Ethernet, DF1, Modbus, DH, etc.

Example Network Diagram
MWEA 2015 Page 20| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Network Architecture
Understand the Network
Distance Limitations
Bandwidth Limitations
Limited Number of Devices
Compatible Devices and Gateways
Step 3: Define Goals
MWEA 2015 Page 22| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Define Goals
Current and Future Operational Goals
24/7 Operation vs. Unmanned Shifts
Define Level of Control
Remote Alarming
Remote Access
Cross Training
MWEA 2015 Page 23| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Define Goals
Define Critical Areas
Redundancy Requirements
Alarming
Power Recovery
Standardized Control
Security
Research & Develop Alternates
MWEA 2015 Page 25| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Research & Develop Alternates
Assess Condition of Existing Control System
Reuse vs. Replace
Upgrade “In-Kind” with Existing System
Potential Cost Benefit for Purchases
Potential Migration Plan Available
Ensure Functionality Meets Goals
Some Features & Benefits May Not “Migrate”
MWEA 2015 Page 26| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Research & Develop Alternates
Evaluate Industry Standard Alternates

Prepare Planning Level Cost Opinion
MWEA 2015 Page 28| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Cost Opinion
Create a Bill of Materials & Get Quotes
PLC Hardware
SCADA, Historian, Reporting Software
• Don’t Forget Support
Instruments, etc
Alternates Allow for Competitive Pricing
Estimate Labor Costs for Installation
Estimate Programming Costs
Account for Inflation
Approach for Replacement/Upgrades
MWEA 2015 Page 30| November 12, 2015
Key to TP Removal
Approach for Replacement/Upgrades
Determine If/How Much Down Time is Acceptable
Sequence To Avoid Rework
Typically Top to Bottom Approach
Utilize Removed Hardware Where Possible
Phase the Replacement/Upgrade to Fit the Budget
Phase With Other Capital Projects Where Possible
MWEA 2015 Page 31| November 12, 2015
