SCADA-a 10-year look into the future
This paper presents new design techniques for networking supervisory control and data acquisition that are expected to be developed in ten years. The analysis presented looks at today's most popular networking techniques and projects them to future designs based on specific future technological goals. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems networks are examined in three parts: networked computers and peripherals at master stations; master to remote terminal unit (RTU) networks; and local RTU networks. It is seen that ten years from now such systems will have more complex networks at the central master station and at remote terminal locations. Such networks, however, will be almost transparent to the user, support component redundancy on their own, and have significantly less expensive but more powerful interface.
