communication.
- Absence of SCADA, Wellsite control system shall be integrated to existing ICSS
through serial communication (DNP 3.0) to controller or gateway
*Communication and interface shall follow the existing philosophy of the asset. Interfaces
will be through telecom network (wireless or F.O), for telecom philosophy and details,
refer to telecom deliverables.
9 FDIS SYSTEM
FDIS shall bring all operational data from ICSS/SCADA into a single system which acts
as central data archiving and helps in analyzing the time-series operational data coming
from new facilities.
