Geographically Distributed SCADA (Geo-SCADA) Software Solutions
Power
Wonderware provides highly powerful, flexible, easily maintainable and secure Geographically Distributed SCADA (Geo-SCADA) Software Solutions for the Power industry.
Wonderware Geo-SCADA Software Solutions are built on and integrated with a single, open and scalable software architecture that can connect to virtually any automation system, remote terminal unit (RTU), intelligent electronic device (IED), programmable logic controller (PLC), database, historian or business system in use today. The open nature of this platform enables users to expand their existing power systems without having to buy new hardware or control systems.
Wonderware Geo-SCADA Software Solutions for Power offer:
- High system availability for dependability
- Efficient, Easy-to-Use Software for Remote Operation and Management
- Security down to the data-element level for all users
- Real-time optimization of operations
Significant Performance Improvements
Most of the devices used in the Power industry are located on top of poles or in remote locations. The Wonderware software platform associates these devices with templates. Therefore, when users need to change an attribute associated with a device in the SCADA system — such as its set point, bandwidth or calibration — they can simply change the template. This change will then automatically propagate to the device.
These advancements provide precisely the flexibility the Power industry needs to accommodate real-time fluctuations, while greatly improving system performance and significantly decreasing time and labor requirements.
Expansive Access to Information
Devices in the Power Geo-SCADA industry have greatly increased the amount of operational and non-operational data generated. Real-time information access is vital to a Power organization’s profitability and its ability to improve efficiency. These organizations must be able to capture this information and use client tools to conduct proper analysis. The Wonderware historian enables utilities to capture all the information they need — and to access that information when they want it.
Lowest System Lifecycle Costs
Utilities no longer have to be locked into a proprietary system that can be difficult to maintain and upgrade — because Wonderware has an open system solution which provides the flexibility to grow with utilities' changing needs, while substantially decreasing the costs associated with creating, modifying and deploying automation solutions.
Device Communication
Wonderware works with more than 100 third-party product developers to offer the largest selection of device integration servers and protocols in the industry, using protocols such as DNP 3.0 and Modbus. Wonderware SCADA software solutions also offer open system connectivity to distributed control systems (DCSs), programmable logic control (PLC) systems, RTUs, IEDs and business reporting systems. Open interfaces like XML, the OPC® protocol, DDE, OLE, SQL, Web Services, HTTP and SOAP allow Wonderware products to integrate with just about any third-party system, application or database.
