Hi Martin, As Bevan mentioned Ethernet/IP is a standard with CIP being the application layer protocol and is now supported by https://www.odva.org/technology-standards/key-technologies/ethernet-ip/. It is an object based. EDS (similiar to GSD ProfiBus files) files from the manufacturers will need to be imported and DTM's will need to be setup for these. After the DTM's have been created a completed DDT will be added to Unity from where you can use it to build your own function blocks and send/received data to SCADA via DNP3. ModbusTCP and Ethernet\IP is also the native protocols supported by the M580. As the Allen Bradley Ethernet\IP driver has already been created for GeoSCADA, the support of this protocol on the SCADAPack is definelty (in my opinion) a very good option.

The implementation and support of Ethernet/IP would be a great add on protocol for the SCADAPack 47x and 57x. This will allow for a great range of products supported where the client has an existing standard in place. This again ties in with DTM's where an EDS can easily be loaded and a DDT automatically created for integration.

The M580 makes use of DTM's to connect to Process drives, TesysT's etc. This allows for the use of IO Scanning registers on these devices through the use of Modbus Function Code 23 (might be incorrect code). I believe this is a key feature for quickly adding multiple Ethernet devices to the SCADAPack and help with advanced diagnostics on your Process network.

GPL libraries brings a great tool for standardization within development. As the new SCADAPack X70 range supports the Unity Pro Logic engine, it would be great if these libraries can be created for GeoSCADA as well as SCADAPack X70's. This will allow for implementation of tested and validated function blocks to be implemented on the SCADAPack and linked to GeoSCADA

I would like to second this and add that if the same situational awareness library that is used in Citect and System Platform can also be used in Clear SCADA that allows for a uniform graphical experience through all Schneider/Aveva platforms. As mentioned by @acquatel the tools to build your own symbols, and faceplates are great, but to get a standard that can be used will make implementation quicker and allow SI/Partners to build upon best practice.

Hi Joel and Ahmed, If I may give my experience as well. We used to use duplexer's at all our high sites but at those really requiring extra distance we opted to remove the duplexers and go with the extra spacing, depending on your frequency. Typically we worked at 440 an 445Mhz for Tx and RX. With between 7-10m separation of our antennas, we have found the isolation adequate and have increased our distance and receiver sensitivity by about 3-4dB. I would recommend this only if your tower heights are 30m and above. Again this would depend on your distance requirements two antennas also means twice the co-ax, connectors, strapping and labor. A good start would be to do a pathloss analysis and see if you really have border conditions for communication. If that is not the case then definitely opt for the duplexer.

Hi Jimi, I would suggest the following: 1. x70 configuration from GEO SCADA 2. How to setup GEO SCADA for downloading logic programs x70 and 300e 3. GEO SCADA calcluated variables examples using historical algorithms to build dashboards 4. Various ways in which data aggregation can be done e.g. Historic Views, Historica Algorithms etc. 5. Trio Q radio optimization using routing for faster resposne times Just a couple I can quicky think of. I have used all the products mentioned before and integrated all togheter. GEO SCADA is extremely powerfull from my point of view. It would be great if some of the lesser known features can be highligted. Regards Teaan van Staden
