Example text

This worked well enough for inputs, but if both organizations needed to control the same field equipment, double wiring presented a problem. The solution eventually developed was to use multi-ported RTUs. Additional serial ports were added to RTUs, and separate protocol drivers were assigned to each port. Each SCADA system could interrogate the RTU (possibly using different protocols) on their port, and either could issue control commands to the RTU. A mechanism for coordination of who was or was not to issue controls was needed, and most systems with multiple ports had a scheme in which a parameter or flag in the RTU was used to identify the SCADA system that currently had control rights.

The process industries make extensive use of latched outputs (and some momentary ones), whereas the electric utility industry uses momentary outputs almost exclusively. Since contact outputs are often used to operate equipment that also has a local manual control panel, it is not uncommon (particularly in the electric utility market) to see pairs of outputs assigned to control a given device. For local manual control, many types of industrial and electrical equipment have one button for “on” (or “start”) and a separate button for “off” (or “stop”).

The purpose of such a message is to get all RTUs to take snapshots of their accumulators, at the same instance in time, and hold them for collection by the host computer. This becomes more complicated when there are multiple polling channels, as a mechanism is needed to stop all polling and then, once all polling channels 49 CYBERSECURITY FOR SCADA SYSTEMS are idle, to send out this freeze message on all of them at the same time. This is how it was accomplished with dumb RTUs (as well as on the first smart RTUs).
