WebNavIGSS Web-Based Software Solution for IGSS SCADA Applications

摘要

The current automation/SCADA trends are referring mainly interfacing and horizontal/vertical interoperability issues on all levels. The web-based solutions with the inherent advantages and disadvantages are many times viewed as legacy structures but also as current requirements mainly because of their accessibility by wide-range type of operators. Very few web-solutions associated to SCADA software in the industry can be considered full-featured web-based solutions from a software perspective. Generally, the socalled web modules/extensions associated to SCADA software are practically remote-desktop solutions, coming with expensive licenses and high resource consumers. The I GSS (Interactive Graphical SCADA System) software is implemented in many industries in the first level control rooms and in regional/central SCADA centres. IGSS interfaces with external devices using OPC VA/DA server/client and many other drivers, its server-client concept allows connection through networks, respectively its mobile module allows monitoring and control from mobile devices, but it does not include a web-based monitoring/control module. The current paper presents the WebNavlGSS web-based software solution for IGSS applications. The WebNavIGSS will connect to existing structures provided by the SCADA software being in close correlation with the Supervise module. The authors tested the solution in the water industry and the results were satisfactory in monitoring several types of water objectives.
