Schneider Electric SCADAPack controllers

Schneider Electric SCADAPack controllers combine the monitoring and communications capabilities of RTUs with the processing and data-logging capabilities of PLCs, providing automatic supervision and autonomous control wherever needed.

SCADAPack controllers are designed for installations ranging from the plant floor, to remote environments with extreme temperatures and humidity. The controllers integrate with most third-party field and networking equipment, and operate under low or restricted power conditions.

Particularly relevant for the oil and gas sector, SCADAPack provides a digital oil field solution with electronic flow measurement that is able to be integrated with Smart RTU multivariable sensor and gas flow computer algorithms and configuration GUIs for Class 1, Division 1 hazardous areas. With the Realflo gas flow measurement software, SCADAPack Smart RTUs can become a fully functional gas flow computer with up to 10 gas flow runs available on selected models. EFM functionality works concurrently with the Smart RTU’s logic code for maximum flexibility.

SCADAPack Smart RTUs also have integrated tools to ensure that remote communication links are not compromised by malicious intent or interference from other communication networks.

Key characteristics of SCADAPack 100, 300, 32 and 4203 series controllers include enhanced security through IEEE1711 (AGA12) encryption and IEC62351 (DNP3) to help mitigate the effects of interference with data monitoring and control commands; optional DFI support; programming and configuration by TelePACE Studio; and pre-built oil and gas focused applications such as Realflo and Production Plus Well Optimisation.
