전력계통 SCADA시스템은 그 목적상 실시간의 대규모 측정정보 취득을 목적으로 한다. 취득정보는 RTU(Remote Terminal Unit)를 통해서 SCADA시스템에 전해진 후, 필요에 따라 상위 시스템으로 다시 전송된다. 이때 RTU에서 SCADA 시스템에 취득 포인트 정보는 DNP(Distribute Network Protocol) 프로토콜을 이용해서 전송하며, RTU는 측정값의 변동에 상관없이 데이터를 SCADA 시스템에 전송한다. SCADA 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 우선 RTU에 감시 선로 정보를 입력하고 이 정보를 다시 SCADA 시스템의 DB에 포인트 정보와 매핑을 수행해야한다. 따라서 SCADA 시스템을 구축하는데 비용과 시간이 많이 소요되고 운영 시에는 불필요한 데이터 요청과 응답이 발생하여 네트워크 트래픽을 유발한다. IEC에서 제안하는 GID 표준인터페이스를 사용할 경우에는 좀더 효과적인 데이터 교환이 가능하다. 본 논문은 GID 표준인터페이스를 이용한 효과적인 SCADA 메시지 교환에 관해 기술하였다.

Energy Management System(EMS) of Microgrid(MG) collects and analyzes data from devices in the microgrid to provide information to operators, users and other systems. In the middle of the process, it is required to securely provide information through both wired and wireless communication networks. In this paper, we design and implement a module that provides encryption and decryption, key management, key distribution, and message authentication functions, thus enabling the development of a system which is safe from the exposure and modulation of data potentially occurrable during data transmission between RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) and EMS. Our method can increase the efficiency of connection and key management for RTU by connecting a virtual device(VD) to RTU.

Communication between system modules is applied using the Modbus protocol in industrial sites including smart factories, industrial drones, building energy management systems, PLCs, ships, trains, and airplanes. The existing Modbus was used for serial communication, but the recent Modbus protocol is used for TCP/IP communication.The Modbus protocol supports RTU, TCP and ASCII, and implements and uses protocols in embedded systems. However, the transmission I/O devices for RTU, TCP, and ASCII-based protocols may differ. For example, RTU and ASCII communications transmit on a serial-based communication protocol, but in some cases, Ethernet TCP/IP transmission is required. In particular, since the C language (object-oriented) is used in embedded systems, the complexity of source code related to I/O registers increases. In this study, we designed software that can logically separate I/O functions from embedded devices, and designed the execution logic of each instance requiring I/O processing through a delegate class instance with Modbus RTU, TCP, and ASCII protocol generation. We designed and experimented with software that can separate communication I/O processing and logical execution logic for each instance.

In this paper, a new remote terminal unit(hereafter RTU) is proposed to manage a wide range of applications and a variety of sensors (eg, pressure, water quality, temperature and humidity sensors, the amount of pollutants, $CO_2$, etc.) to monitor and control the facility such as water treatment plant, intake and effluent pumping station, water tank and distribution network. Fault status of local sensor devices and network are alerted by using the embedded fault handling capabilities of the RTU in the system and also sent to the fault handling server, by which fault can be easily monitored to users. The developed system was applied to one of K-water branch offices in Geoje city and improved its reliability and stability for controlling and monitoring water facility.

This paper introduces a new technique to extract eigenvalues of the gain and phase offsets and to compensate them automatically in transducerless sampling RTU. It discusses in detail the cause of the offsets, describes the principles of gain and phase compensation, establishes the algorithm to extract eigenvalues. The process of using the compensated measurements is also illustrated in the paper. This technique enhances the operational speed, simplifies the operational complexity, and improves the capability of transducerless sampling in RTU.

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.

A railway SCADA system is a control systems that provide the trains with the electricity. A railway SCADA system sends commands to the RTUs(remote terminal unit) and then it gathers status information of the field devices in the RTUs or controls field devices connected with the RTUs. The RTU can controls input output modules directly, gathers the status information of the field devices connected with it, and send the information to the control center. In this way, a railway SCADA system monitors and controls the electricity power for running trains. The cyber attackers may use some vulnerabilities in the railway SCADA system software to attack critical infrastructures. The vulnerabilities might be created in the railway software development process. Therefore it need to detect and remove the vulnerabilities in the control system. In this paper we propose a new control protocol fuzzing method to detect the vulnerabilities in the DNP3 protocol based application running on VxWorks in RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) that is a component of the centralized traffic control system for railway. Debug-channel based fuzzing method is required to obtain process status information from the VxWorks.

Currently, the new substation automation uses the international standard IEC 61850 communication protocol. KEPCO is also constructing a new substation based on IEC 61850 from 2013 through the pilot application and research and development starting from 2007. However, there are few cases where existing substations(Transformer, T/L GIS, D/L GIS, etc.) have been used, and RTU based substations operating systems have been changed to SA substations based on IEC 61850. Therefore, the introduction of IEC 61850 in existing substation facilities has the advantage of enhancing the substantiality of the substation by reusing existing facilities, improving the interoperability with the latest substations introduced, and converting existing substations into systems suitable for unmanned operation. In this paper, we introduce a case of changing the existing RTU based substation operation system to digital substation using IEC 61850 field information processor, Ethernet switch and SA operation system. Also, IEC 61850 client authentication program and Wireshark, which is a packet analysis tool, verify IEC 61850 conformance and its feasibility.

The light buoy installed on the sea is always flexible, because it is affected by the weather as well as passing vessels. The position of the light buoy can be cached through the AtoN AIS (Automatic Identification System) and RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). This study analyzed the position data of the light buoys for the last five years (2017-2021), as well as the distribution of the light buoys within the maximum separated position. As a result, there was a basic error of 17.9% in the position data. Additionally, the separated position error of 197 light buoys to be analyzed was 70.64%, and the AtoN RTU was worse than the AtoN AIS by equipment. On the other hand, as a result of the plotting the position data of the light buoy, it was classified into four types. The most common percussion center type, the percussion center dichotomous type in which the position is divided into two zones based on the chimney, the central movement type with a fluctuating center, and the drag type, in which the position is deviated from the center for a certain period. Except for Type-1, the type was determined according to the position at which the light buoy was installed. This study is the first to analyze the position data of the light buoy, and it is expected that it will contribute to the improvement of the quality of the position data of the light buoy.
