Visual Basic (VB), Microsoft`s powerful yet user friendly development environment, has steadily become more accepted and used in Man Machine Interface (MMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications. Known as an easy way to rapidly develop applications for the commercial, financial, and computer games industries, VB is now making its mark in the pipeline SCADA industry. For pipeline operating companies, employing PLCs/Flow computers/Chromatographs as a front for control and data acquisition of pumping stations, meter stations, product delivery terminals, LACT units, gas plants, gathering and production systems, VB is an ideal software package. The author has successfully applied VB for gas pipeline turbine-driven compressor station systems with over 4,000 alarms, 200+ analog inputs, 60+ PID control loops and 400+ digital I/O, with the process control being delegated to PLCs and VB performing all the MMI functions and any upstream data processing, manipulation and management functions.
