Power systems comprising an enormous number of components are monitored and controlled by SCADA systems, For efficient monitoring and control of organically linked power systems, it is necessary to connect the related SCADA systems through a communications network and to exchange needed information.
The RCN (Realtime Computer Network) protocol serves as a foundation in building a communications network for SCADA systems. The RCN protocol complies with OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), the international standard for communications protocols, and with the API/F (Application Interface) communications protocols, which covers provisions exclusively required for communication among SCADA systems. The RCN protocol supports both an inter-process information communication function and a file transfer function, and it can be extensively applied to control systems other than SCAR systems.
This paper presents a detailed explanation of the RCN protocol and the performance of the RCN protocol.
