The more recent protocol standards all rely on TCP/IP-based communication. However, it must be possible today and in the near future to continue connecting conventional telecontrol devices (already installed RTUs) via serial interfaces. Interface for industry automation/third-party applications OPC (OLE for process control) and OPC UA provide a group of dened interfaces. OPC in general enables the overall data exchange between automation and control applications, eld systems/eld devices, as well as business and ofce applications. OPC is based on OLE/COM and DCOM technology. OPC UA (Unied Architecture) is a continuation and further innovation of OPC. OPC UA is based on native TCP/IP and is available for multiple operating system platforms, including embedded devices. Communication between control centers The communication between control centers is provided via the communication protocols ICCP or ELCOM, and is based on TCP/IP. The Inter Control Center Communication Protocol (ICCP) is an open and standardized protocol based on IEC 60870-6 and Telecontrol Application Service Element Two (TASE.2). The exchanged data is primarily real-time system information like analog values, digital values and accumulator values, along with supervisory control commands. Remote workstations/ofce communication Remote workstations can communicate with the control center via the ofce LAN or an Internet connection. System and data integrity has to be ensured by the system security conguration for Protection against external attacks Protection against unauthorized usage Protection against data loss
