SCADA 101The Development of
SCADA and Telemetry
in the Irish Water Industry
SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Telemetry: Remote Monitoring
Definitions
Plant Automation
Plant Automation
• PLC for process control
• Local on-site SCADA PC or HMI
• Some remote site monitoring -reservoir/pump station
• No/limited remote access (PCAnywhere)
• Dial out alarm to caretaker’s home
• Limited reporting
Plant Automation
Network Monitoring
Plant Automation
Network Monitoring
• Telemetry RTUs installed in reservoirs, pump stations,
key network meters
• Radio communications links providing realtime visibility
• Animated mimics, trends and alarms
• Central PC in HQ
• Limited remote user access
Network Monitoring
Water Conservation
Plant Automation
Network Monitoring
Water Conservation
• Dedicated water conservation team
• Standalone PC with proprietary software
• Battery powered SMS loggers
• 15 minute logging/once per day reporting
• Information viewed by water conservation personnel only
• Limited integration with third party applications

Alarm Management
• Alarm voice diallers to caretakers home
• Text messaging to pager becomes the norm
• No scheduling or escalation procedure
• No confirmation of receipt of alarm
• Reliance on diligence of the caretaker
• SMS messaging becomes widespread
• Prolific installation of stand-alone alarm modules

Alarm Management
• 20/20 obligations
• Drive to monitor whole current into major plants
• EPI established to benchmark relative performance
• No in-depth monitoring within each plant
• Absence of integrated action plan

MES/OEE
• Manages asset database
• Benchmarks performance and alerts on deviation
• Tracks downtime, maintenance and calibration
• Monitors the effectiveness of all production assets (theoretical v actual)
• Performs comparative analysis of equipment, plants etc.
• Automates maintenance scheduling and downtime reduction
