Net-Based SCADA with Ethernet I/O — The State of the Art

Abstract

This paper considers the implementation of SCADA over a more widely distributed system and with a far higher level of integration into management information networks. Having reviewed the traditional approach to distributed measurement and control, it is proposed that use of presently available internet, cellular telephone and other enabling (network) technologies will offer business a far more competitive edge. The requisite technologies are discussed and the business advantages presented.
