Linux PRISM SCADA Complete Linux package for essential SCADA operations-in PC format Alarms, trending, areas of responsibility and reporting are all standard features Flexible communications, including DNP3 LAN support and a wide array of third-party protocols In 1991, Advanced Control Systems delivered the electric power industry's first UNIX-based open architecture SCADA platform. Security and reliability requirements fueled that decision, and the horde of competitors that followed in our wake proved the wisdom of that choice. To this day, UNIX is unmatched in flexibility, extensibility, power and safety, but it comes at a price-the hardware required to operate a UNIX-based system can be costly. Recent developments in operating system technology provide a lower cost alternative: Linux. Our Linux PRISM SCADA system combines the ease and affordability of Linux with our proven user interface and interoperability. The system includes a master PC, a front-end processor that communicates with field devices, a recompiled Linux version of the PRISM operating platform, and a generous array of feature-rich SCADA applications. Developed and refined over the last decade under UNIX, Linux PRISM SCADA offers the most stable and advanced technology available today, in an affordable, easy-to-deploy package. Software Our SCADA system is based on PRISM, our powerful applications platform designed exclusively for electric utility information systems. Like the UNIX version of PRISM, our Linux offering includes standard tools that are expensive options on other systems.
