This paper documents our experiences working with customers to interface their AM/FM/GIS systems with Siemens`s SPECTRUM SCADA system. The AM/FM/GIS Interface tool that was developed eliminates duplicate manual entry effort to serve both the GIS and SCADA users. The advantage of having a single data entry source is apparent when synchronization of data between the GIS and SCADA must be maintained. Several customer experiences are cited by describing differences in their GIS data models. One customer uses the Intergraph Microstation package with attribute information embedded in Dbase IV. Another customer uses the AutoCAD package for storage of both graphics and attributes. A third customer uses a hybrid solution which consists of the ARC/INFO package for graphics, and managing the attributes directly within the Spectrum SCADA system. Based on the differences in the GIS data models, the paper highlights our experiences in using the AM/FM/GIS Interface tool to manage the bulk loading and incremental update of customer data into the SCADA system.
