The operation of the facilities of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium is monitored from dispatching consoles and the SCADA Review web monitoring system nowadays. This is the second generation of the SCADA information complex, and the modernization continues.
Table of contents:
In addition to the transformed old reports, new ones were added: MT Laboratory, report on antifriction additives, Diagnostics of flow meters, Oil consumption, Oil temperature, EPS-statuses on the linear part, a report of shelters for the Security Service.
In each version of the web reports - no matter it is SCADA Info or SCADA Review - great importance was attached to the user interface: design, ergonomics and information content of the presented data. In the new version of SCADA Review, the capabilities have increased as the old code was rejected and the programs were re-developed. The focus was on infographics. One color is used to highlight different types of parameters, large groups of parameters are highlighted with a common tone. The colors are not too bright, the background is pastel so as not to tire the eyes. Unrealistic and doubtful values (outside the normal range) are marked with strikethrough, zero values of unused equipment are not displayed, so as not to overload the monitor with unnecessary information. When you hover over a parameter, a tooltip indicating the signal value (average, maximum, at the end of the hour) and the processing function,if this parameter is calculated appears. By the way, the decision about what signal value should be output can also be important. For temperatures, maximum values are usually displayed, as this is one of the key safety parameters. For the indicators for which monthly reports and forecasts are compiled, technologists ask to display average values.
Our team has many plans for the further development of SCADA Review (on 60 pages!) to make the system even more convenient, informative and ergonomic. Among them is the connection of all SCADA reports to the corporate "Wikipedia" based on SharePoint, where information will be described both for each report and for the most important parameters and calculated values. A system for diagnosing key operational problems (non-working sensors, critical technological indicators, etc.) is also being considered for development with their display on the monitor when opening reports. In addition, it is planned to provide average and maximum indicators for the selected period of time, the choice of the language for providing information and the ability to generate a web report for each user individually - with the selected parameters, grouping, location, type of signals. The modernization of the integrated web monitoring system for CPC facilities continues and contributes to the technological development of the company.
