For the sake of application/project metrics, I’d like to hear from anyone that has a SCADA application in the USA similar in scope to the one roughly highlighted below:
* One MS-WIN Server handling ALL SCADA duties (alarming, trending, security, Dbase DAQ/integration, OPC-DA/HAD, peer-2-peer COMMs...). Complemented by three Warm-Standby “twin” servers located in redundant facilities.
* Multiple LANs interconnected with frame-relay combined with several RS-232 Licensed Frequency telemetry links.
* One MS-WIN Network Attached Storage Server used for archiving tasks.
* One MS-WIN Terminal Services Server used by 20 SCADA thin-clients.
* 50 MS-WIN Workstations used as “fat” SCADA clients (PCs & laptops).
* 1165 small PLCs (RTUs) and 64 large PLCs!
* 78k PLC signals/tags & 143k SCADA derived tags!
Our team has done successful proof-of-concept tests, along with multiple full on-line system tests and we are about to go live at the end of February ‘07. I have “looked” around and barring anything outside the USA, this implementation should be one of the top three centralized SCADA installations of its kind (one server/node). Can you help us confirm this?
