Overview
This comprehensive system streamlined data analysis, log management, and alarm handling to optimize water network operations. The challenge was connecting over 360 remote RTUs to a central SCADA system, ensuring reliable communication, especially in locations without power. Custom data parsing and handling programming were essential for third-party system integration.
The solution involved battery-operated RTUs with cellular modems transmitting data via TCP/IP over 4G. A locally hosted cloud API server received the data, with an independent OPC server converting it to OPC UA standard tags. The WinCC SCADA server managed data logging, alarms, and the graphical interface. A separate WinCC client enabled monitoring from a different location. In total, over 2100 monitoring tags tracked various parameters, including pressure, flow rate, noise level, and battery health.
