ABB SCADAvantage version 5.4

ABB has released the latest version of its Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system, SCADAvantage version 5.4. This release is designed to help oil and gas companies manage their operational challenges with precise liquid metering and instant status checks of remote operations, and to bring better safety and availability to companies responsible for the critical energy infrastructure.

SCADAvantage now supports V-cone and liquid measurement data. This data is integrated with alarming, trending and historian information to further optimise operations and manage by exception.

ABB also worked with midstream companies to develop a new liquid volume balancing and leak detection application in this release, to better support safe and reliable liquids transportation.

ABB SCADAvantage includes features to ensure business continuity providing protection against threats from the environment, malicious attacks and other sources. Disaster Recovery works in warm-standby for ultra-fast failover and includes tools for configuring and stepping through a recovery scenario in a safe yet expedited manner.

This release also includes Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping capabilities. Using the latest mapping software from ESRI, SCADAvantage allows companies to easily customise the map views to meet their operational needs.

With on-demand text message reporting, operators can be alerted and follow up on issues or drill down into the data easily with a simple text message on their mobile phone. Text reports can also be requested from SCADAvantage by sending a text message with a particular report identifier.

Version 5.4 is available now and is provided as part of ABB’s annual software maintenance program.
