Enhancing the NEXUS

摘要

Melinda Corley, InduSoft, USA, outlines how advances in connectivity and software have made SCADA systems much easier and less expensive to use. Pipelines are distributed over a wide variety of geographical areas, making automated and remote monitoring essential. Monitoring the pipeline operations data that is gathered by supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems from sensors, instruments and analysers, is used to improve efficiency, detect problems and comply with regulations.
