Using Automatic Code
Generation to Enforce SCADA Standards |
Abstract: |
|
The use of
automation in the form of SCADA (supervisory
control and data acquisition) systems is one of
the cornerstones of operating a modern municipal
water/wastewater utility. These systems are
however fraught with a myriad of options and
complexity that can make any standardization
effort a daunting challenge.
In early 2010, Halton Region's water/wastewater
department embarked on a pilot project to
develop an automated code generation tool to
help with some of the tedious aspects of SCADA
standardization; namely the creation of PLC data
tags, HMI tags, and the creation of the base
functionality for PLC programs. By
automating much of the grunt work associated
with the programming of these systems, Halton
Region was able to free up programming resources
and ensure better compliance with their
standards. |
Speaker: |
|
Bob Loncar is the
SCADA programmer at the Regional Municipality of
Halton. He has over 15 years of experience
in the Water/Wastewater automation field.
He has been responsible for the creation and
maintenance of programming standards for the
City of Orlando (FL), Jefferson Parish (LA), the
Region of Niagara (ON) the Regional Municipality
of Halton (ON) and Haldimand County (ON).
Bob is currently involved in several pilot
projects using higher level programming tools to
enforce and maintain SCADA programming
standards.
