One of problems in industries is an installation for an automation system device such sensor, transducer, controller, and so on those are located in different areas. Such problem makes a difficulty for maintenance and installation. The aim of this research attempts to design a high performance controller with remote devices. One attractive is to group near devices in near place together to centralizes control. This paper presents network device groups distributed through digital and analog Remote Terminal Unit (RTUs). Such devices are centralized by computer or PLC control and communicated with similar protocol through serial bus. Our scheme, there are many advantages such as, saving both time and cost,convenience compared to other ways.

열차전력원격감시제어시스템은 열차 운행에 필요한 전력을 공급하는 제어시스템이다. 열차전력원격감시제어시스템은 관제실에서 원격지의 RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) 장치에 제어명령을 내리면, RTU는 이를 해석하여 입출력 모듈을 제어하고, 각 입출력 모듈로부터 수집된 데이터는 사령실로 전송함으로써, 사령실에서 열차에 공급되는 전력 상태를 감시 및 제어하는 시스템이다. 본 논문은 열차전력원격감시제어시스템의 구성요소인 VxWorks 실시간 운영체제 기반의 RTU에서 동작하는 DNP3 제어프로토콜 통신 소프트웨어의 취약점을 검출하기 위한 퍼징 기술에 대하여 제안한다. VxWorks는 동작중인 프로세스의 상태를 감시하기 위한 모니터링 에이전트를 설치할 수 없기 때문에, 모니터링 에이전트 없이 프로세스의 상태 정보를 획득하기 위해서 VxWorks의 디버그 채널을 이용하였다. 또한 DNP3 제어프로토콜은 제어명령을 순서대로 전송하지 않을 경우 패킷을 무시하기 때문에 제어프로토콜 함수코드 순서를 고려한 퍼징을 수행하였다. 이러한 두 가지 기술을 이용하여 VxWorks 기반의 RTU에서 실행되는 DNP3 제어프로토콜 응용프로그램의 취약점을 시험할 수 있었다.

This paper describes the development of the SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system which can be controlled via the Internet. In this paper, the SCADA system is composed of a number of microprocessor-based RTU(Remote Terminal Unit)s, a MMI(Man Machine Interface) host, a SCADA server, and SCADA clients. There are two protocols used in the system. Each RTU and the MMI host are connected by a RS-485 line and CSMA/CD(Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection) protocol is used to communicate with each other. TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is used among the MMI host, the SCADA server, and SCADA clients. The equipments installed in the field are controlled by a number of RTUs. The function of the MMI host is to acquire real-time data from RTUs and control them. The SCADA server supports data transfer between the networked MMI host and the SCADA client on the web-server through TCP/lP. Data transfer is possible regardless of the type of network only if there are TCP/lP Winsock-compatible stack driver. The SCADA client is implemented as the shape of web-page by means of JAVA language. Therefore, it runs on a web-browser such as Netscape and Explorer, and allows a number of users to access this SCADA system.

Power Companies worldwide are undergoing tremendous change in the Automation issues. It becomes a worldwide trend that the power utilities focus their attention to the automation of their power plants and substation systems, employing recent advanced communication protocols. In this paper, we discuss the standard communication protocols which can be applied in the automation systems to help utilities reduce their operation and maintenance costs while at the same time meeting new requirements for communications to RTUs and intelligent electronic devices(IEDs). Especially, we introduce EC 61850 protocol which is developing for international standard by IEC.

This paper introduces the MMI software for Central Control System in the Distribution Automation System. It provides remote monitoring and real-time control of distribution through the use of remote terminal units(RTUs) graphically. Our MMI software for distribution automation displays a circuit operating map based on the distribution automation database, and overlays it with outage information from the feeder Automation software.

In this paper, we discuss the development of monitoring system with data process equipment which transfers data from Remote Terminal Unit(RTU) to monitoring computer. The RTUs sense temperature, pressure and PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) nodes conditions of scrubber in semiconductor manufacture processing. The data Process equipment is connected every RTU and a monitoring computer through serial communication. This equipment receives informations from RTU, process data, and transfers them to monitoring computer. To avoid congestion in data communication, task scheduling algorithm used RT O/S(Real-Time Operating System) is embedded in ROM which is a part of data Process equipment.

In SCADA systems, an RTU is a device installed at a remote location that collects data, codes the data into a format that is transmittable and transmits the data back to a central station, or MTU. An RTU also collects information from the master device and implements processes that are directed by master device. RTUs are equipped with input channels for sensing or metering, output channels for control, indication or alarms and a communications port. In general, the data are transmitted via a wired communication infrastructure such as RS422 or RS485 between RTU and MTU. But, limited range of wired communication doesn't allow the system to cover remote areas over the limitation, and building a wired communication network is not easy in the circumstances. In this Paper, we design and implement a smart cost-effective Web-RTU that can communicate with MTU via Web. Web is of benefit to the Web-RTU, because it is not only free from the distance limitations, but also is built easily and cost-effectively wherever Internet resources are available. Additionally, Web can be easily applied to the SCADA system with the development of hardware and software for communications. The Web-RTU has a program memory, a data memory and a RAM inside, and uses Atmega128, low-cost 8 bit micro-processor with eight AI(Analog Input). It performs well enough to implement all existing roles of RTU.

전력계통의 변화 및 IT 기술 발전 등에 따라 통신 방식 변경에 대한 요구가 커지고 있어 시리얼 기반 통신에서 TCP/IP 기반 통신으로의 변경은 불가피하다. 하지만 TCP/IP 기반 통신의 경우 보다 다양한 보안 위협이 존재하기 때문에 정보보안 측면에서 많은 고려가 필요하다. 인증 및 암호화 등의 보안대책은 원격소 장치(RTU : Remote Terminal Unit)의 교체, 암호 알고리즘의 성능 요건 충족 등의 문제로 단기간에 적용은 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 상황 속에서 전력 제어시스템으로의 위협을 식별하고 효과적으로 탐지하기 위해 상태추정 기반의 침입 탐지 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 시그니처 탐지 방식에 더해 취득 데이터의 유효성을 검증함으로써 데이터 위변조 등 기존의 방법으로 탐지하기 어려운 공격들을 탐지할 수 있었다.
