3.0 Remote Control and monitoring form SCADA mater station.

Sr. No. Test Checked

Check the operation of SAS with the SCADA master station (to be done by
SCADA representative), by swithching the substation control to Remote mode,
1.
so that only SCADA master station can control the Substation now. No Local
SAS controls are allowed.

2. so that only SAS HMI can control the Substation now. No REMOTE SCADA
controls are allowed.

4.0 Data point test SAS – NCC (SCADA Center)

DATA Point Test Checked

A database point test requires a connection to the respective protocol converter gateway and
an NCC simulator or SCADA ceneter.
The purpose of the test is to check the transfer of the various database point types in both
directions between the NCC and bay levels, i.e. every signal is checked as is the case with a
full point-to-point test as per the approved SCADA signal list.
The signal which are checked with SCADA center shall be highlighted and marked in the
signal list. The marked signal list shall be attached with the testing sheet.
