Part 1: General PUBLISHED BY STANDARDS AUSTRALIA (STANDARDS ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA) 1 THE CRESCENT, HOMEBUSH, NSW 2140 ISBN 0 7337 0667 3 AS 4418.1 — 1996 2 PREFACE This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee IT/24 on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers and users of SCADA systems with a common telecommunications interface and protocol in order to achieve equipment interoperability. The AS 4418 series of Standards has been structured so that Part 1 (this Standard) provides general requirements for SCADA networks and subsequent Parts provide requirements for specific applications. The other published Standard in this series, Part 2: Fire alarm systems, fits the latter criterion. Specific applications Standards may encompass direct-linked networks and dial-in networks using the public switched telephone network. Applications which could form further Parts of this series of Standards could cover areas such as systems for service utilities, transport and security. This is a free 6 page sample.

Although the IEC 870 series was developed for the electricity industry, the above Australian Standards have been developed as part of a possible series for multi-utility applications.
