 VISUALIZATION
& CONTROL SCADA HMI SOFTWARE
The SCADA Human Machine Interface (HMI) software provides a graphical representation of the
RTU status and alarm history. The SCADA HMI software allows visualization of all process data and
operator control over site equipment. Operational and environmental reports can be generated from the
SCADA HMI system and summarized data can be stored in historical files of the SCADA HMI system.

RSView supervisory software is
the new standard in SCADA
Information Management
Systems allowing comprehensive
monitoring and control of your
entire RTU network and plant-
wide process control networks.
Architected for reliably and
flexibility, RSView SE (supervisory
edition) is a client/server
architecture with redundant I/O
and HMI servers combined with
centralized security administration.
RSView SE can connect to your
legacy third-party hardware via
standard OPC drivers and other
protocol drives making RSView SE
the clear choice for supervisory
control software.

INTRODUCTION
Whether describing Oil and Gas
or Water Wastewater industries,
today’s focus on the bottom
line and reducing costs put
Operators and Engineers under
constant pressure to find ways
to maximize efficiency.
As an Oil or Gas production or transportation
company, you are under constant pressure to
maximize production, meet increasingly demanding
delivery schedules and reduce operating and
maintenance costs while ensuring compliance with
environmental regulations and secure operation.
As a Water Wastewater Supervisor, you are
expected to ensure public health, protect your
local environment, operate your system within
budgetary constraints, and provide secure,
uninterruptible wastewater collection and
water distribution service to your customers.
With increasing government regulations, increasing
output and heighten security awareness, many have
seen the need to install or upgrade Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
The function of a SCADA system is to monitor,
operate and control remote systems that are located
over a large geographic area from a central location.
Remote monitoring and control can provide data
that can be used to significantly enhance operation

efficiencies, reduce downtime, and increase security
and counterterrorism measures. Other benefits of
remote monitoring include better regulatory record
keeping and reporting, remote trouble shooting to
reduce downtime and increase repair efficiency,
reduce time and travel labor cost, and improved
capability to instantly alert operators of alarms
and undesirable events.
Rockwell Automation is a leader in providing
high quality, off-the-shelf, hardware and software
SCADA solutions for the water and wastewater
and Oil & Gas industries. Built with open
communication protocols like Ethernet, DF1,
and Modbus and support for the most used
SCADA protocols like DNP, BSAP and others,
our PLC-based Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
offer multiple topology configurations:
• Point to Point
• Point to Multi-point
• Report by Exception
• Broadcast
• Store and Forward
and are supportable by your maintenance staff
or local systems integrator using ladder logic
programming language.Visualizing and maintaining
your system, and informing your operators from
a central location is made easy with our RSView
SCADA software which comes with I/O drivers to
connect to Allen-Bradley RTUs as well as most 3rd
party RTUs.A SCADA system built with Rockwell
Automation hardware and software offers you the
best value, scalable solution, that can be expanded
and upgraded over time translating into lower long-
term risk for your facility.

OIL AND GAS WELLS PUMP STATIONS
There are two main types of wells: Natural Flow Operate by maintaining system pressure or matching
and Artificial Lift wells. Monitoring and remote control flow demand. Multiple pump stations connected to the
requirements depend on the type of well. For natural pipeline and communicating back to a central location

the flowing valve need to be monitored and gas wells
include compensated flow calculations. Remote control
is limited to the shutdown valve. For artificial lift wells,
additional monitoring and control is required to be able
to supervise motor or gas lift valves and be Well RTU

MANAGEMENT SCADA CONTROLLERS
The RTU stations require robust controllers that are compact and efficient. Rockwell Automation’s Micrologix and
CompactLogix families of PLCs are well suited for these applications that require proven reliability and tend to use
a minimal amount of I/O.
The Master Station calls for controllers that are scalable and are information enabled. Rockwell Automation’s
family of ControlLogix controllers are part of Rockwell Automation’s Integrated Architecture.This family of
Programmable Automation Controllers combine the technology advantages of PCs with the security and reliability
of PLCs. The Logix controllers offer the best of both worlds and can easily meet growing information
management, supply chain integration and regulatory demands.
