Abstract. This paper presents a technique to integrate WirelessHART field devices into
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. The proposed technique is
based on the use of WirelessHART gateway to function as a Modbus/TCP-based RTU
(Remote Terminal Unit) of the SCADA hardware architecture for data communications
between the remote wireless site and master station. The master station in the studied
SCADA system is composed of a computer with ‘Wonderware HMI (Human Machine Interface)/
SCADA’ and ‘Historian Client’ software applications. Methods for configuring
the software applications used are described. Based on the ‘Wonderware System Platform’,
applications of collected and analyzed data for status and event monitoring are
also proposed. Effectiveness of the proposed system integration is verified by experimental
results.
