Integration of wireless HART network system into SCADA software for operation & management

This paper describes the technique to integrate HART field devices into SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. Wire HART field device is connected to WirelessHART adapter (THUM) and WirelessHART device are assigned act as RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) in SCADA system. In system, THUM and WirelessHART device communicate to WirelessHART gateway that collects their data and send to master station with Modbus/TCP. The paper presents the practices to install and configure the THUM with control valve wire HART device, WirelessHART transmitter, tags assignment, and so on that focus for HART parameters mapping in order to device operation and management. Effectiveness of the proposed system integration is verified by simulation and experimental results. Moreover, the technique can be applied in existing plants or in new project to support end-users to quickly and easily gain the benefits of device diagnostic and decision support for operation and management.
