| dc.description.abstract | Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have taken center stage in industrial automated systems. In most processing plants, the power distribution network is not subjected to SCADA whilst a SCADA system is used in the monitoring and control of the process plant. This paper looks at monitoring of the power distribution network of a typical gold processing plant using an existing SCADA infrastructure and the possible integration of a metering system. Use was made of the Schneider electric Power Logic ION 7550 and 6200 energy meters with communication capabilities and the Wonderware™ SCADA software. Remote monitoring of the power distribution network at a mine installation was implemented by incorporating a metering system into the existing SCADA system. The resulting system promises simpler, real-time, safer and easier monitoring, functional reliability giving increased efficiency, reduction in troubleshooting timeand improved energy management | en_US |
