SCADA Open Source Solutions

Open-source SCADA solutions like openSCADA, OpenScada, and IGSS were summarized. OpenSCADA supports hardware like ARDUINO and protocols like SNMP, OPC, and relational databases. It uses a client-server architecture and can be developed in Eclipse IDE with Java interfaces. Main drawbacks of open-source SCADAs can include limitations on connected equipment, variables, or supported hardware protocols. The document also provided overviews of SCADA data visualization, alarm lists, and system requirements for IGSS.

IGSS System requirements


Hardware requirements

IGSS requires a Pentium 2 Ghz PC or equivalent.


Memory requirements are related to the size of the IGSS
database, screen resolution and concurrent use of other
software packages. It is recommended that at least 1Gb is
available for IGSS.

Graphics card supporting true color graphics (min. 24


bit).

At least one free parallel or USB port on the server PC


must be available for the IGSS dongle for licensed systems.
(Soft-lock has been an option since version 9).
Software requirements

32bit & 64bit of:: Windows 7, Windows 2010 Server,

OpenSCADA
Data acquisition from hardware of manufacturer
ICP DAS and others.
Providing data to upper-level systems:
By means of interfaces:

Serial interface (RS232, RS485, Modem, ...), by


helps of transport module Serial.
IP-networks sockets and network levels
protocols TCP, UDP and Unix, by helps of transport
module Sockets.
Security sockets layer (SSL), by helps of
transport module SSL.

By means of protocols:

Conclusion
Summary:
3 open-source SCADAs are presented (out of 6-7 popular)
openSCADA supports ARDUINO hardware
openSCADA supports SNMP, OPC, relational DB; Clientserver architecture. Development under Eclipse IDE
(interfaces can be written in JAVA).

To design SCADA-level we must have the full-picture of


hardware used (number of controllers, sensors etc),
protocols used and the full list of signals (variables) ...
