Information Synergy: Integrating Data Across Disciplines and Functions

This paper discusses an architecture for data sharing across applications and subsystems. It serves to highlight potential benefits that can be achieved by considering all data use cases when integrating new control devices into a system, and ensuring that all stakeholders can gain access to information relevant to their roles, while also ensuring appropriate role-based access management so that each user cannot inadvertently (or deliberately) interact with system data or functions that are not their responsibility.

Session Spotlight from the SCADA Summit - Aligning Cyber Risk with Organizational Risk Tolerance and Getting Maximum ROI on Defensive Measures

TJ Roe, VP Sales, North America • Radiflow

This presentation will present a data-driven, standards-based approach using ISA/IEC 62443 to understand risk in your OT networks. We will discuss going beyond normal vulnerability assessments and takes into account the tactics, techniques, and procedures of threat actors per the MITRE ATT&CK methodology, giving you a more accurate indication of true risk to your operations. Coupling this with Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) provides a model for understanding, analyzing, and quantifying cyber risk and operational risk in financial terms. Using this robust approach helps an organization understand the impact of cyber events to their business operations and provides a roadmap for the mitigations that will provide the most effective defense for the investment made and in line with the organizations risk tolerance.

Session Spotlight - Enhancing Surface Water Treatment through SCADA Integration

Michele Risko, Manager of the Drinking Water Standards Section • Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

The presentation will discuss the importance of efficient architecture and integration of SCADA to enhance the treatment of surface water for public drinking water purposes under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Discussion will focus on regulatory considerations to ensure minimum Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) treatment technical and monitoring and reporting compliance.

Topics will include programming PLCs with rule requirements, data retention, going beyond the SWTR to enable enhanced performance, development of process constraints to mitigate risk, maximize operator impact through timely and relevant notifications, reporting functions to facilitate daily operations and regulatory reporting, and protection of public health through security practices. Planning considerations will be proposed to build resiliency for your surface water treatment plant and SCADA communications in times of adverse weather, reduced communications, aging infrastructure, and overcoming other utility challenges.

DNP3: SCADA, Clear and Simple - A SCADA Technology Summit Workshop

Nov. 2nd: 12:30PM - 4:30PM - Dallas, TX (Westin Dallas Park Central)

Derrick Mack, C.E.T, and Substation Specialist, will explain the philosophy (and terminology) underpinning DNP3 and clarify a number of areas that people sometimes find difficult to grasp. Some lesser-known features of DNP3 and current developments will also be discussed.

This workshop introduces modern SCADA concepts and describes how the DNP3 SCADA protocol supports them. The more advanced user will gain clarity in understanding “why” things are done as they are, not just “how”. The workshop addresses needs of both implementors (equipment manufacturers) and end users (system engineers).

In the city of Jena, electromobility has been present in the form of a tramway in service for 120 years. Supplemented by a fleet of diesel-powered buses, an efficient public transport system has been created over time. Last year saw the introduction of e-mobility in the operation of city buses as well. Three first vehicles started regular service in 2020 to contribute to CO2 savings (53,000kg per bus and year), but also to reduce particulate matter and noise emissions in the urban area.

In order to minimize the effects of malfunctions on the operational process as well as on the passengers, it is necessary to keep downtimes as low as possible. This is supported by a reliable control and telecontrol system implemented on the basis of the PcVue Inc. SCADA software.

Antenova Ltd. has announced a new flexible embedded antenna for the next generation of small monitoring devices on North America’s 915MHz ISM and LoRaWAN networks.

This antenna, named Fera, part no SRFI068, is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna measuring 33 x 13 x 0.15mm. FPC antennas do not require a ground plane to function, which is an advantage in small designs where space is tight, as no empty space is needed around the antenna on the PCB.

The extraction and transport of water often takes place in remote areas where there is no possibility to supply measuring instruments with power or to transmit data via wired connectivity. It is precisely for such applications that Endress+Hauser has developed the Promag W 800 flowmeter with battery-powered operation. It provides maintenance-free operation for up to 15 years, as well as worldwide secure data transfer via cellular radio.

https://www.scadatechsummit.com/post/flowmeter-provides-battery-powered-flow-measurement-with-integrated-cloud-connection

The Promag W 800 electromagnetic flowmeter ensures not only reliable monitoring of water supply networks, but also efficient and time-saving maintenance. Leaks can be located reliably, and non-billable water losses (non-revenue water) can be avoided.

Many process plants have difficulty finding ideal installation points for flow measurement devices due to requirements for long length of inlet run and undisturbed flows. The Prosonic Flow P 500 measuring system addresses these and other issues with its FlowDC function, which is unique in the market.

The device requires only minimal straight inlet runs and it can be installed directly onto the exterior of the pipe, so there is no need to interrupt operations. Planners and operators of process plants can stay flexible and install the Prosonic Flow P 500 in just about any location, independent of the pipeline design.
