 Typical SCADA Solution

It is typical in the downstream

Oil and Gas Sector that
automation systems have
some remote assets “outside
of the fence” that require
monitoring and control, such
as pipelines or wellheads.

This is a specialised SCADA

application due to low power,
slow bandwidth and
application knowledge.

In many cases the SCADA is

 What is it?
 DeltaV RTU Connect is a “lite” OpenEnterprise
solution consisting of:
– A standalone SCADA database
– Device drivers
– Configuration tools
– OPC DA and Alarms & Events servers
– Interface software for PI Historian
 The application connects to DeltaV using
standard interfaces and requires no modifications
to the DeltaV software installation

 The Technologies
 Real-time data
– Bidirectional transfer of data using OPC
– Server to Server communication using OPC Mirror
 Alarm & Event Data
– OPC Alarms & Events writes data into the DeltaV PEH
Database
 Historical Data
– Direct PI interface writes time-stamped data into PI
database
– Historical data accessible in PI

 Device Support
 Supports Emerson RTUs and Flow Computers
 Uses OpenEnterprise Remote Device Interfaces
for interaction with field devices
 Uploads historical data from RTU network and
stores in PI Historian with occurrence time from
the field
 RTU data is represented in DeltaV as a virtual
controller
