A gas and electric company has placed a supervisory and control data acquisition (SCADA) system into operation to monitor, alarm and control its 6,000 miles of transmission and 30,000 miles of distribution pipe lines. The SCADA network is comprised of 28 minicomputers located at 13 sites interconnected with a private X.25 packet switching data network, 14 multiple address system (MAS) radio masters and 210 remote terminal units (RTUs). Several of the problems most likely to be experienced by others installing a SCADA network are described in this article.
