Anonymous scenario
SCADA Retrofit for Utility Stations
An anonymous utility scenario for adding RTU/gateway data collection to existing station assets.
Anonymized buyer
A utility integrator planning retrofit hardware for distributed stations.
Challenge
Existing station signals had to be collected without replacing the whole control system.
Site context
- Legacy field signals and meters
- SCADA or operations system already present
- Cabinet space and power needed review
Approach
- Build point list from existing signals
- Select RTU/gateway path by protocol
- Keep local alarm and northbound data needs separate
Hardware plan
- Remote IO / RTU module
- RS485 protocol gateway
- 4G or Ethernet backhaul
- Cabinet accessories
Integration path
- DI/DO/AI/RS485 collection
- Modbus TCP or MQTT handoff
- SCADA tag mapping support
Outcome
- Retrofit scope became a point-list discussion
- Gateway-only and complete kit options were easier to compare
- No unsupported platform claim was needed
Quote inputs
- Point list
- Existing protocol
- Panel power and space
- SCADA endpoint and tag naming rules
