What is Automation
The dictionary defines automation as “the technique of making an apparatus, a
process, or a system operate automatically.” – Ref www.isa.org
Automation provides benefits to virtually all of industry.
• Manufacturing, including food and pharmaceutical, chemical and petroleum, pulp and paper
• Transportation, including automotive, aerospace, and rail
• Utilities, including water and wastewater, oil and gas, electric power, and telecommunications
• Defence
• Facility operations, including security, environmental control, energy management, safety,
and other building automation

RTU vs Gateway Technology
Microprocessor controlled device that interfaces physical world to
SCADA system by transmitting data to master station by using
electronic messages
• RTU Technology is associated with pre 1980’s
• RTU is typically IO Centric with centralised mono-lithic IO cabinets
• RTU Communication via serial media (RS232, RS485, RS422)
• Gateway Technology is contemporary
• Gateways are IED centric with various protocols
• Gateway deployments are moving towards decentralised IO
• Gateway communication is IP based
• Gateway has modular hardware and software

Local single-line diagram
Use case:
•
Most utilities control their grid
remotely via a SCADA system
•
They also need to be able to
locally control their apparatus
in case of a SCADA/network
failure
•
SCADA
SMP 16
The Single-Line Diagram
option allows utilities to use the
Substation Automation
Gateway as a local backup to
their SCADA system.

Doing More With Less
• “For a typical Substation configuration we are configuring in
8-10 hours using a Gateway vs approx 40 hours with our
previous technology”
• “Our Substation Automation configuration times are cut in
half saving around 100 hours
• “We have upgraded 25 substation in the last 12 months”
• “We estimate the life cycle costs are 31% of our current
technology over 15 years”
