well, we're in the process of building a replacement system for what i currently use. the guy that's programming it has been here since March and he doesn't appear to be all that close to finishing it. I was wondering about how long it would take to complete a project like this. I figured out the problem though. i went to the national instruments website and discovered they had a support forum. The first thread was a question about alarms in a system exactly like ours posted by the dude that's working on my new system.
this is his first post in that forum. he registered the day he was brought in here.

Types of TOE’s
Another piece of Common Criteria nomenclature in this section is the type of TOE. There are
three types of TOE’s:
1. Monolithic TOE – A self-contained, standalone TOE. This is a product or subsystem that
does not have any component TOE’s and is not part of a composite TOE.
2. Component TOE – The lowest level TOE in a system compromised of multiple TOE’s.
Two or more component TOE’s can be combined to form a composite TOE.
3. Composite TOE – A composite of multiple component and composite TOE’s that address
requirements for a system.
A field device can be a monolithic TOE and can be evaluated and certified on its own. A field
device can also be a component TOE that would be part of a composite TOE developed in the
future. This composite TOE could include a Field Device Protection Profile and a Control
Center Protection Profile.

Explanatory Text
The TOE Description section is a simple and easily understood section in a Protection Profile. A
TOE is the product or subsystem that would be tested for compliance with the Protection Profile.
The process goes as follows:
1. A customer or industry group develops a Protection Profile with security functional and
assurance requirements. The functional requirements define the what security is required
in the TOE. The assurance requirements define how the vendor will need to prove the
TOE meets the functional requirements. Protection Profiles are implementation
independent, so two vendors could have different security approaches to meeting the
functional requirements.
2. A vendor writes a Security Target document that responds to the Protection Profile with
the implementation specific requirements for a TOE, a product.
3. The TOE is the product that is tested by a Common Criteria Testing Lab to prove it meets
the requirements in a Security Target.
The TOE Description section in a Protection Profile describes the general functionality of
products that could be a TOE and the boundaries of a TOE. In the SCADA Field Device
Protection Profile this is very straightforward. A field device is typically a PLC, PAC, RTU, or
IED. This is not a restrictive list of possible TOE’s, merely examples that contain the general
functionality. Another class of field device, such as a smart instrument, could also use this
Protection Profile.
The TOE boundary is the physical enclosure. All software, hardware and firmware in the
physical box are within the TOE boundary. The communication links to the field device and the
person or device that communicates with the field device are outside the boundary. This does
not mean there will be no security requirements on data as it enters the TOE boundary; there will
be.

Target of Evaluation Description
This Protection Profile specifies the minimum security requirements for a Target of Evaluation
(TOE) that is a SCADA field device. Common functions of a SCADA field device include:
Collecting measurements from sensors
Making logic and control calculations
Issuing control commands that modify a process
Examples of product categories that would be included in this TOE description are
programmable logic controllers (PLC’s), remote terminal units (RTU’s), programmable
automation controllers (PAC’s), and intelligent electronic devices (IED’s). These field devices
are typically found in remote sites in SCADA networks such as pumping plants, substations, or
turnouts.
The functionality of a field device can vary a great deal. Sophisticated field devices can run
programs and control complex processes. Simple field devices can be limited to a small number
of measurements and controls. This Protection Profile is applicable to any field device without
regard to the amount of measurement, calculation or control that takes place in the device.
While the title of this Protection Profile refers to SCADA field devices, it may be applicable to
similar field devices used in a DCS or any other control or monitoring system. In fact many field
devices that are used in SCADA systems are also used in DCS and PLC based control systems.
The TOE includes all resident software, hardware, and firmware in a field device. The
communication path and channels to the TOE are not part of the TOE. A simple way to describe
the TOE boundary is the physical boundary around the hardware platform. The TOE boundary
begins when data arrives at a physical interface and ends when data leaves a physical interface.

Target of Evaluation (TOE) -Introduction
SCADA Field Device Protection Profile Project
Target of Evaluation (TOE)
Introduction
The Process Control Security Requirements Forum (PCSRF) has a project to develop and
complete a SCADA Field Device Protection Profile by April 30, 2006. The Protection Profile
will list the security requirements for field devices such as PLC’s, PAC’s, RTU’s and IED’s.
The Protection Profile is an opportunity for the asset owners, vendors, industry organizations,
government organizations and other interested parties to provide a clear and comprehensive set
of security requirements for the next generation of field devices. Vendors will then be able to
develop field devices that meet the Protection Profile requirements and have those devices
independently tested and certified by an internationally recognized third party.
PCSRF has chosen to use the Common Criteria methodology to specify functional and assurance
requirements. The Common Criteria has a precise language and methodology that enables for
clear specifications and objective testing. To achieve this, the Common Criteria sacrifices
readability and is not the appropriate document for a general reader to learn guidelines or best
practices. It may not be easy for even a subject matter expert in SCADA Field Devices to
understand some of the later sections of the Protection Profile text.
To encourage participation each milestone deliverable in this project will have a section with the
draft Protection Profile text and a section explaining the Protection Profile text.
We need your comments on either the Protection Profile text or the explanatory text. If you can
identify an issue in the explanatory text, we can convert it into the proper Common Criteria
format.
There are helpful books available, such as Debra Herrmann’s Using the Common Criteria for IT
Security Evaluations, if you want to understand the specific Common Criteria language. As Ms.
Herrman defines it, the Common Criteria “provide a complete methodology, notation, and syntax
for specifying requirements, designing a security architecture, and verifying the security integrity
of an ‘as built’ product, system or network.”

APC
OpenAPC is an APC (Advanced Process Control) solution that is highly flexible and configurable and covers a wide range of automation, visualization, and process control tasks from home control up to industrial automation. Control applications created with the OpenAPC editor's visual interface can perform several tasks dependent on how the application is configured and used. The application is available for many different platforms, so OpenAPC projects can be switched over to a different platform easily.
RSS
If you’re a small to medium-sized business, it behooves you to keep in touch with your customers and potential customers. An e-mail marketing application like OpenEMM can help by letting you send out any kind of e-mailings, including newsletters and service messages (transaction messages and event- or time-triggered messages). OpenEMM offers targeting, bounce management, link tracking, realtime statistics, a content management extension, and a scripting feature.
German developer Martin Aschoff, who maintains OpenEMM, say the project was designed in 2005 as a single-server version of his company’s E-Marketing Manager software. “Since we focused on big companies at that time we decided to make OpenEMM open source to quickly find international users (who might later buy commercial services from us) and to get input for development from all over the world. We launched OpenEMM on SourceForge.net in July 2006. The fast adoption of OpenEMM in more than 80 countries worldwide validated this decision.”
Aschoff says that compared to alternatives such as phplist and Dada Mail, OpenEMM is stronger in usability (GUI, graphical realtime statistics, online update) and number of features. However, unlike those alternatives, “OpenEMM is not a simple script but needs Java and a servlet engine (which is embedded in OpenEMM) to run. OpenEMM is written mainly in Java (we use Eclipse for development) and is based on the Java frameworks Spring, Struts, and Hibernate for maximum stability and scalability.” That robust foundation allows even large companies to take advantage of OpenEMM. “The biggest user we know of has a mailing list of 3.5 million names and sends out about 20 million messages a month,” Aschoff says.
Aschoff advises new users read the comprehensive 272-page user manual. The project also offers an install guide that should help users improve OpenEMM performance, and support forums with a wealth of hints and tricks from the community, including ready-to-use scripts to extend the software’s functionality.
The project is still growing and improving. The next version is scheduled for late summer with a lot of new features, and replaces the internal servlet engine Resin with Tomcat, at the request of third-party developers. Aschoff says the project usually makes two major releases per year, with some smaller bug-fix releases in between. He also welcomes contributors. “We now have contributors from all continents except for Australia (wink!).”

The project also offers an install guide that should help users improve OpenEMM performance, and support forums with a wealth of hints and tricks from the community, including ready-to-use scripts to extend the software’s functionality.
The project is still growing and improving. The next version is scheduled for late summer with a lot of new features, and replaces the internal servlet engine Resin with Tomcat, at the request of third-party developers. Aschoff says the project usually makes two major releases per year, with some smaller bug-fix releases in between. He also welcomes contributors. “We now have contributors from all continents except for Australia (wink!).”

Alarm management
Event and alarm management
Loaded with the accurate tracking of alarms or events of the plant, the alarm log offers extended possibilities (severity, urgency, selective acknowledgement, prevention…) and pre-configured filter modes that are particularly ergonomic (tree-like organization of equipment, functional groups...). The states also use the tree structure of equipment: the sub-assemblies with alarm are identified instantaneously by a red point and the list of states of the sub-assembly is displayed by clicking once in the equipment tree. Associated with equipment in a mimic diagram, the log automatically filters information corresponding to it.
Recording measurements and tracer
The recorders take charge of the automatic recording of measurements or data in event mode, due to which there is economy of storage size. Periodic forcing remains possible. Periodic archiving, fixing the duration of data retention "online", is also managed.
Natural complement of recorders for the views, the tracer is a client component that ensures the display of data in the form of graphs, histograms and tables, operating both on archives and on online data, and this in a totally transparent manner. The tracer is fully configurable during operation, in as much as for the selection of colors, scales, zoom factor, as for more sophisticated operations: direct statistics on the displayed graphs, comparison of one production with an older production… etc.
Recipe and set point records
The MESbox SCADA pack provides a recipe mechanism that allows for transparent management in the database of set points meant for equipment. It offers several exchange modes with automatic control systems, whose synchronized mode avoids anything random. The corresponding recipe records can contain an unlimited number of parameters grouped by categories as needed. The recipe system of the MESbox SCADA pack is upgradeable to the multi-level recipe system of the MESbox PMT pack, ISA-88 compatible.

High level man-machine interface
The unique mechanisms of the MESbox SCADA and of the COOX platform facilitate the creation and maintenance of user views. Making the most of the component technology of the platform, pre-animated graphics objects provide you with a set of general controls (buttons, cursors, symbols, presentation panels, …) and specialized libraries (vessels, materials handling, electricity…). Insertion of your own images, photographs and technical plans ensure customization and creativity without limits.
Tree structure of views
The tree-like organization of views and the navigation bars are generated automatically. No more problems during creation and maintenance of navigation links between pages. Reorganizing the navigation for better ergonomy becomes child's play.
The layers combine the recurring elements of each view: screen background, logos, title areas, date and time, alarms bands, navigation bars... etc. Modifying a layer is enough to modify all the views using it, if the component technology allows it!
Equipment explorer
The equipment explorer is a unique component that revolutionizes the notion of mimic diagram that one expects generally in supervision. With the help of the explorer, you can explore a complete workshop and even the complete factory in a spontaneous manner without having to set up a complex navigation between the views. A simple selection of a section in the equipment tree displays all the status and controlling information. If a mimic diagram has been realized, it will be displayed automatically. The equipment explorer also handles zooming and moving a mimic diagram, which enables you to navigate in a bigger space than the screen, which will combine all the equipment in a workshop, for example.

scada system
A "SCADA System" may consist of a Human using a Computer with Special Software Overseeing a Process Control System made of many sensors, transmitters, autonomous controllers and actuators made of motor drives and heaters.
Some of these elements may send data to the computer which may Analyze and Indicate the condition of process or progress. The Human Operator can then fine tune the parameters of his system or study and record process cycles for quality and yield.
You discuss this with your mentor and then build a part of it, or implement a part of it in an existing system. A whole SCADA system is too big a project, but a simulated or demo software interface project can be made.

Benefits of SCADA
Benefits of Incorporating SCADA Automation:
* Operators can easily adjust process setpoints, respond to alarms, and manage the plant more effectively.
* Historical data lets operators develop predictive maintenance procedures to avoid unscheduled downtime.
* Remote Software alarm systems allow operators to be paged by plant alarms after normal working hours and have operators acknowledge alarms over the telephone.
* Training from Dayton & Knight Ltd.'s SCADA staff has given operators greater insight into the application of sophisticated technologies, allowing them to continually improve and enhance plant performance.
* Operators can easily adjust process setpoints, respond to alarms, and manage the plant more effectively.
* Historical data lets operators develop predictive maintenance procedures to avoid unscheduled downtime.
* Remote Software alarm systems allow operators to be paged by plant alarms after normal working hours and have operators acknowledge alarms over the telephone.

Introduction TO Scada
Introduction
SCADA or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition is a distributed measurement and control system for large-scale industrial automation. SCADA has applications in automated operations like chemical manufacturing and transport, supply systems
and power generation.
How SCADA Works
The SCADA technology was developed as part of Instrumentation Engineering. Monitoring systems such as SCADA have been in use for quite some time now. Such systems are collectively called DCS (Distributed Control System). DCS have conventionally been used for facilities like factories. However such systems are not effective in covering large geographical areas like those involved in gas transport systems. SCADA has been specifically developed to meet requirements covering large territories.
A SCADA system at the machine level consists of a central station for gathering data and managing the overall operation. It also has sensors (these could be Remote Terminal Units or RTUs, or Programmable Logic Controller) placed in proximity to where the action is. The RTU or the PLC collects the information locally and then passes it on to the central station which is often several miles away. RTUs and PLCs today are capable of controlling the operations within its purview through closed loop feedback systems. The central station oversees the overall performance of the one or more RTU/ PLC under its control. SCADA systems also allow operators or supervisors to change the settings as appropriate at the level of the RTU or the central station. Alarming conditions like high temperature are recorded and displayed.
