This paper reports that Questar Pipeline Co. has replaced an existing IBM Series/1- based pipeline supervisory control an data acquisition system with a VAX-based system. The project was completed with in-house personnel from data processing and gas control departments. The system uses distributed processing, which allows maximum flexibility in development. programmers can design and develop applications and databases, while gas controllers can design screens and reports. This reduces development time and cost. SCADA is a real-time system. Development of graphic displays and reports can be done off line, but must be tested in the real-time environment.
