High-performance distributed SCADA system architecture

Abstract

This paper discusses some of currently the most challenging problems of SCADA system design, and presents a concept of a general purpose SCADA intended for high-end applications. Application like this involves millions of data points and demanding real-time decision support system on top of SCADA and its communication infrastructure. The presented SCADA concept is actually evolution and enhancement of an old solution, well proven in mid-size SCADA application. The paper gives proposal of a new architecture adapted and perfected to fulfill the needs of the modern market. © 2012 IEEE.
