Implementing TCP/IP in SCADA systems

Abstract

The research described in this thesis has been carried out over a 20 month period as part of a college/industry partnership project. This project, the 922 FlashNet RTU, was funded under the Innovation Partnerships research grants scheme administered by Enterprise Ireland. The project is a partnership between the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology and Datac Control International Ltd., a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition SCADA) company. The aim of the project was to research and develop a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) which makes use of the TCP/IP suite of protocols and common web applications.
