3 REPORT Executive Summary The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (Municipality) is currently upgrading the existing water treatment plant (WTP) and various water and wastewater remote sites. As a part of the upgrade, a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is required to enable effective operation and monitoring of water and wastewater facilities throughout the region. This upgrade will also allow for proper sharing of information between the upgraded WTP and the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This is the third report in a three part series commissioned to define and obtain technical agreement on the design criteria for the new SCADA connectivity and equipment. This report will form the basis for all communications in future SCADA projects. Two options have been considered for the individual water and wastewater sites for urban and rural locations: Remote radio sites equipped with new MDS SD4 licensed 400MHz Ethernet radios with their speed limited to 19.2 kbps link to the backhaul. Use of the SD4 radios allows for re-use of power supplies, antennas, couplers and antenna cables. The second method uses 5.8 GHz unlicensed Motorola PMP 430 Ethernet radios with a speed of 20Mbps to the backhaul. This option requires all new antennas, power supplies, cabling, couplers, relay stations and several new towers to raise the antenna elevations. Rural locations will use the same radios to a central node that has a VPN connection to the backhaul. The primary recommendation is to establish a high speed (>20Mbps) communications backhaul in Fort McMurray linking the WTP, WWTP, Abasand pump house, Mackenzie pump house, Saprae Creek and the HWY 881 Booster. The backhaul should be established using Motorola PTP point to point 5.8GHz licensed radios and routers. As a result of the draft report review with the Municipality, the preferred option is Option B. It is to be implemented by adding new Motorola PMP 430 Ethernet radios at all SCADA sites. All urban radio locations (water and wastewater) in Fort McMurray will link into the closest backhaul node, and the signal traffic will be directed by routers to either the WTP or WWTP. Certain locations, as indicated in the second radio path report, will need to use relay radios to connect to the backhaul network. Water and wastewater remote sites will use separate frequencies to ensure traffic separation (higher throughput) until they reach the high speed backhaul network. The proposed architecture creates an independent communications network for the WTP and the WWTP; each able to poll for their respective sites using a master communications PLC to handle communications. Remote locations (Fort Chipewyan, Fort McKay, Janvier, and Conklin) will each use 5.8GHz unlicensed Ethernet radios linking all water and wastewater sites together to the local WTP/pump house concentrator node. The local concentrator node will then use an internet connection with a VPN router and an encrypted link back to the high speed backhaul network. Once on the backhaul, the data will be routed to the appropriate polling location (WTP or WWTP). The Master PLCs at the WTP and WWTP will control communications by i

4 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo employing a systematic polled communications strategy. This will ensure controlled bandwidth usage and provide a means of deterministic communications by timers and alarms using expected response times for reads and writes to/from remote nodes. Excess bandwidth would be available for remote maintenance or operator communications over the SCADA. By separating the water and wastewater frequencies, creating radio zones around each of the backhaul towers, and controlled polling, the effective throughput to the individual sites is maximized while minimizing costs. This architecture also removes the dependence of the WWTP on the WTP for remote site information, but still allows for remote control of each plant via the network. A cost estimate has been provided based for the supply and installation of the radios, towers, routers and miscellaneous materials excluding PLC controller or individual site upgrading costs. Option B backhaul cost estimate: $ 374,000 Option B remote site estimate: $ 1,158,000 The next step will be to produce a pre-design document from which the detailed design and construction of the backhaul network can begin. Once the construction of the backhaul network has begun the final radio equipment make/model numbers will be established allowing for remote site design and integration into the new SCADA to begin. ii p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

9 List of Abbreviations Definitions of Terminology HMI Human Machine Interface: HMIs can be one of a number of computer styles that display process data and trending in a usable format, such as a normal computer workstation with a monitor, mouse and keyboard, or a flat, touch screen monitor mounted on a wall. Typically, HMIs depict a series of display screens that present the process data in a format that the operator can easily understand. These can take the form of charts, trends, icons, or a graphical representation of the process the HMI is controlling. In almost all instances, an HMI is linked to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The HMI draws all the information it displays from the PLC. PLC Programmable Logic Controller: Essentially, a PLC is a computer specifically designed to handle process data from instrumentation, communication with other PLCs and HMI displays. PLCs are a common component of most, if not all, SCADA systems. PLCs have various types of wiring of control protocols, which it uses to communicate to different types of instruments in the field. PLCs are usually programmed for each task using a vendor specific programming language. SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition: SCADA systems, a branch of instrumentation engineering, include input-output signal hardware, controllers, human-machine interfacing ("HMI"), networks, communications, databases and software. The term SCADA usually refers to centralized systems that monitor and control entire sites or complexes of systems spread out over large areas (on the scale of kilometres or miles). Most site control is performed automatically by PLCs. Host control functions are usually restricted to basic site overriding or supervisory level intervention. For example, a PLC may control the flow of cooling water through part of an industrial process, but the SCADA system may allow operators to change the set points for the flow and enable alarm conditions, such as loss of flow and high temperature, to be displayed and recorded. SQL Structured Query Language: SQL is a standard interactive and programming language for querying and modifying data and managing databases. Although SQL is both an ANSI and an ISO standard, many database products support SQL with proprietary extensions to the standard language. The core of SQL is formed by a command language that allows the retrieval, insertion, updating, and deletion of data, and performing management and administrative functions. SQL also includes a Call Level Interface (SQL/CLI) for accessing and managing data and databases remotely. VPN Virtual Private Network: VPNs are encrypted data tunnels created between two points over the internet. Data passes between the two points appearing encrypted to anyone who intercepts the packets but are restored to a readable format when received by the intended target. This is a common form of security used over public networks and is a very strong means of ensuring privacy. WTP Water Treatment Plant: In this report, the upgraded Regional Water Treatment Plant. WWTP Wastewater Treatment Plant: In this report, the existing Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. UHF Ultra High Frequency: Radio frequencies that are typically licensed and in the 400MHz range. MHz Mega Hertz: A measurement unit of radio frequencies oscillation. vii

11 REPORT 1 1 Introduction 1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (Municipality) is currently upgrading the existing water treatment plant (WTP) and various water and wastewater remote sites. As part of the upgrade, a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is required. This will enable effective operation and monitoring of water and wastewater facilities throughout the region and allow for proper sharing of information between the upgraded WTP and the existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Various water and wastewater sites were visited and information was gathered in regards to their existing SCADA hardware capabilities. Coordinates were also recorded for the purpose of a radio path study. The information was then summarized and various methods for communication were determined. 1.2 OBJECTIVES The project objective is to conduct a review of the Municipality s SCADA system for the water and wastewater systems. The primary task is to analyse the current communications and controls infrastructure and create a SCADA Master Plan that will allow for consistent forward design and ensure inter-operability of all devices. The focus of the Master Plan will be the communication media and protocols. This will allow flexibility in hardware standardization to be adjusted to the Municipality s preferences, while ensuring the devices can communicate on a common protocol. The system must ultimately: Allow shared information between the Water SCADA and the Wastewater SCADA. Create backup system capabilities Create operator cross training opportunities. Establish the means to have full remote site control from the central SCADA, and where possible, remote control from remote sites. Increase communication speeds between remote sites and the WTP and/or WWTP. Identify different options for remote access and increased communication speeds between far off sites like Fort McKay, Fort Chipewyan, Janvier, and Conklin. 1-1

13 REPORT 2 2 Project Background 2.1 SUMMARY OF THE ACCEPTED CONCEPT REPORT The SCADA Master Plan Concept (Report #1 of 3) defined the report focus. The goal is to create two SCADA spheres Water and Wastewater. The two master nodes (WTP and WWTP) are linked together such that they operate independently but allow for secure remote control over the other system as need arises. Certain remote locations, such as Fort Chipewyan, will require a merging of the Water and Wastewater SCADA systems to create an economy of scale for higher speed communications through a common communications portal. The new system should be Ethernet based and interconnected to allow secure remote connections from one location in the SCADA to another. In essence, a secured Wide Area Network (WAN). 2.2 SUMMARY OF THE ACCEPTED FEASIBILITY REPORT The Water and Wastewater SCADA Master Plan Feasibility Assessment (Report # 2 of 3) outlined in detail two suggested SCADA options and the expected hardware requirements needed to achieve the outlined goals. Option A recommended the formation of a high speed Ethernet radio backhaul and conversion of remote sites to use 400MHz licensed UHF band Ethernet radios. This would allow for Ethernet communications from either the WTP or WWTP to their respective remote sites. Option B explored the use of high speed Ethernet radios at all sites, including remote locations and the backhaul network described in Option A. The Feasibility Report identified that multiple sites for both water and wastewater will need extensive hardware upgrades (radio and PLC), in order for them to achieve high speed communications and become a part of the new overall SCADA system. The key findings, conclusions, and recommendations from the Feasibility Report are as follows: Design parameters as identified in the Concept Report indicate that an Ethernet based Wide Area Network is the preferred goal of an upgraded SCADA system. A high-speed licensed Ethernet radio backhaul should be implemented in the City of Fort McMurray. Remote sites will use slower Ethernet frequencies to connect to the backhaul. The Water and Wastewater SCADA networks will be separated into different radio frequencies where practical to improve speed. Remote sites will combine water and wastewater data into a common connection back to the local concentrator node and that data will then be routed to the polling Master PLC. The WTP and WWTP will poll their respective remote sites independent of each other. High speed internet connections (where available) and virtual private network (VPN) routers should be used to link the remote sites of Fort McKay, Fort Chipewyan, Janvier, and Conklin to the SCADA system. These sites are too far to economically reach via conventional radios. The primary communication protocol will be TCP/IP using the Modbus TCP protocol set for 2-1

14 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Ethernet II framing. This is common to the two main hardware platforms in use at present (PAC3000 and Quantum PLCs). Key to continuation onto the final SCADA Master plan was the completion of radio path studies to examine available frequencies, speeds, signal paths, and costs for Options A and B. 2-2 p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

15 REPORT 3 3 Existing System Overview and Design Considerations 3.1 GENERAL The main components of the Water and Wastewater SCADA system include licensed serial radios, discrete alarm diallers, leased line modems, telephone dial up, and stand-alone systems. The current licensed radio system is very busy (9600 bps), and as more sites are added, the polling time is slowing down due to traffic volume. Serial radio is very reliable and capable of long distances, but the bandwidth is limited by the slower connection speeds and the limitation is amplified when too many sites are on the same network. Sites equipped with Barnet Engineering alarm diallers typically have multiple discrete alarm inputs and one general alarm output. When any of the discrete alarms trigger, a call is made back to the WTP indicating a general alarm. Leased line systems are used at both the water and wastewater sites. This is an old, slow, and often expensive method of communication. Leased lines require a copper to copper connection and with the move by the telephone company to digital communications, the cost for a leased line is increasing. Most sites on the leased line system are using an obsolete SyMax PLC. In the future, these sites will be upgraded to the new PLC s, which will need to be capable of both serial and Ethernet communication. Remote sites, such as Fort Chipewyan, have limited communication and rely on telephone dial-up access via 56 k modems for remote monitoring and system maintenance. Continuous remote monitoring is not possible or practical with the current configuration. 3.2 WATER The components of the Water SCADA system are comprised of licensed serial radios, discrete alarm diallers, and one leased line linking back to a central Master PLC at the WTP. The data from these sites is displayed on the WTP Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens. Current water communications use serial Modbus RTU (RS232) as the main communication protocol. This is a universal protocol widely supported across multiple hardware platforms. There are currently two master PLCs at the WTP that gather information from various water and wastewater sites. The first Master PLC is a Modicon Quantum which polls information from all upgraded water and wastewater sites (Quantum processors) using Modbus RTU over serial radios. This PLC also polls the one remaining site (Prairie Creek) that is equipped with a Quantum processor but still operates using a leased line modem. The leased line modem and MDS4710 radio systems are both connected to a BM85Y422 bridge MUX which allows access to MB RS232 devices via the Quantum PLC MB+ communication port. The second Master is an obsolete SyMax PLC polling wastewater sites, which use SyMax PLCs and operates on a leased line network. Once all of these sites are upgraded, only one Master PLC will be required and the SyMax PLC can be retired. 3-1

16 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo 3.3 WASTEWATER The wastewater remote SCADA routes back to the WTP via the same networks mentioned above and information is then displayed on the WTP HMI screens. Current wastewater communications use serial Modbus RTU (RS232) as the main communication protocol. Certain wastewater sites have been upgraded with Modicon Quantum PLC s and route the information through the Quantum PLC at the WTP. The new upgrades, currently underway, will be using the PAC3000 and Modicon/Schneider line of PLC s. This is acceptable provided the Modbus framing being used between the Schneider and PAC3000 PLCs is Ethernet II. At present, no direct communication of wastewater site data or control is direct from the WWTP. 3-2 p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

17 REPORT 4 4 Design Criteria 4.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Sites using SyMax PLC s (mainly wastewater) or sites with no form of control or communication will need to be upgraded with a PLC capable of native Modbus TCP communications. PLCs that use Modbus TCP natively are Quantum, PAC3000, M340, and Momentum to name a few. Because of the usage of PAC3000 s at the WTP, all equipment must be compatible with Modbus TCP Ethernet II framing not framing. Sites without existing radio equipment will require radio hardware and a mast/tower, which meets the minimum height requirements outlined in the radio path reports. Sites, which have already been upgraded with Modicon Quantum PLC s, will require a NOE 771 Ethernet card, where not already in place. These cards are switchable to both Ethernet II and Modbus framing, allowing for easy integration with both the PAC3000 and Modicon Quantum PLCs at the WTP and WWTP. It should be noted that sites with existing radio mast/towers that do not meet the minimum height requirements will need to have their mast/towers replaced. Quantum PLCs are best suited for use as the Master PLCs at both the WTP and WWTP. The WWTP is built using Quantum PLCs and the WTP already has a Quantum in use as a data concentrator. A Quantum PLC with an NOE card has the processing power, link speed and memory to buffer all communications required for the remote sites and the ifix servers Fort McMurray (Urban) Area To facilitate remote site connections outside the urban area, a dedicated internet link with VPN router connected to the high speed backhaul will be required. The router and internet point can be at the WTP, WWTP, Abasand, Saprae Creek (Option B) or Mackenzie locations. This report has assumed a dedicated connection at the WTP with a VPN gateway in the backhaul router Backhaul: 5.8GHz Licensed Radios The backhaul locations shall consist of the WTP, WWTP, Abasand, Mackenzie, Saprae Creek (Option B) and HWY 881 Booster locations. A roof antenna will be mounted on the new WTP administration building, a new 40m tall tower at the WWTP, and a new 40 m tall tower at Abasand are required to complete the backhaul network connectivity. Each site will employ Motorola PTP GHz licensed Ethernet radios forming point to point links. The WTP, WWTP, Saprae Creek and HWY 881 Booster will each have one PTP radio linking to the backhaul. Sites like Abasand and Mackenzie will have three PTP radio links. Refer to the control block diagram for details. Each backhaul node will also have a router connecting all the radios and local networks together. The routers will be programmed with static routing tables to direct the Ethernet traffic to the correct destination. This is required to ensure proper traffic separation and for routing of the different Ethernet subnets between the Water and Wastewater networks. Expected speeds on the backhaul will be between 20 Mbps (nominal) to 50Mbps. 4-1

18 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Option A: UHF Ethernet Remote Radios In this scenario remote sites will be equipped with new MDS SD4 licensed Ethernet radios over the existing 400MHz licensed frequencies. This will allow re-use of existing radio equipment and antennas at the heights at which they are currently installed. Licensed 400MHz radios also exhibit excellent signal propagation connectivity and require lower antenna heights reducing overall implementation costs. Each backhaul node will be equipped with two (Water and Wastewater) MDS SD4 radios (separate frequencies) to link the remote sites to the backhaul via the routers. Sites that are not on the serial radio network will have new SD4 radios added to their controls. Several wastewater sites are connected via leased line telephone link to the WTP at present, while many others are not connected at all. Additionally, many sites are not currently capable of PLC Ethernet communications, and as such, their local controllers will need to be upgraded to Ethernet enabled PLCs to take advantage of the new architecture. Water and wastewater will be on separate frequencies and different IP subnets to better optimize bandwidth and separate the traffic. Typical throughput over a 400MHz radio link is 19.2Kbps Option B: 5.4GHz Remote Radios (Urban) To facilitate connectivity in this option, the backhaul network will be expanded to include Saprae Creek as a backhaul node linking into Mackenzie. 5.8GHz Motorola PMP 430 radios will be installed at each backhaul node (one for Water and one for Wastewater). The 5.8GHz option would increase the bandwidth on links to the remote sites from 19.2kps (Option A) to equal the backhaul speeds of 20Mbps. A second radio path study was completed to verify the path losses at the 5.8GHz frequency. This option requires all new antennas, cabling, couplers, power supplies, and in many instances, new towers and masts to achieve the necessary antenna heights. The increased hardware is necessary as the existing equipment is not compatible and higher frequencies do not propagate as well resulting in the need for repeater nodes and higher antennas. As per the second radio path study a Subscriber/Access Point system will be used to expand the network to certain sites such as Timberlea and King Street. Sites that are not on the serial radio network will have new PMP 430 radios added to their controls. Several wastewater sites are connected via leased line telephone link to the WTP at present, while many others are not connected at all. Additionally, many sites are not currently capable of PLC Ethernet communications, and as such, their local controllers will need to be upgraded to Ethernet enabled PLCs to take advantage of the new architecture. Water and wastewater will be on separate frequencies and different IP subnets to better optimize bandwidth and separate the traffic. Typical throughput over a 5.8GHz radio link is 20Mbps. 4-2 p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

19 4 - Design Criteria Remote Locations (Rural) Remote locations like Fort McKay, Fort Chipewyan, Conklin, and Janvier will use a local internet connection with a VPN router creating a secure tunnel to the backhaul for SCADA communication. The VPN router will be located at the local WTP/pumphouse as a concentrator node. A Cisco RVE042 VPN router is recommended for the IPsec VPN tunnel connection. Each remote area will use a combined local radio network as combining the Water and Wastewater on a small scale is more economical than maintaining two separate frequencies per rural location. Option A would use new 400MHz licensed MDS SD4 radios with masts and antennas. Each water and wastewater location will be assigned an Ethernet address on the same subnet as the concentrator node. Detailed radio pathing for each rural location will need to be expected as part of a detailed design. Option B would use unlicensed PMP 430 Ethernet 5.8GHz radios for these remote locations. A master radio at the designated concentrator node (i.e., WTP) would then link all the water and wastewater sites together on a common subnet. The Ethernet radios will connect into the VPN router and through the secure internet connection, the backhaul network in Fort McMurray. Each Master PLC node (WTP and WWTP) will poll individual nodes via the backhaul for the information it requires. Because rural sites will use local internet connections, which are known to periodically go offline, it is recommended that a local alarm dialler be installed at each concentrator node. When the local internet connection is lost, the alarm dialler will become active, dialing any critical alarms out to the operator via a telephone connection. The radio path analysis included in this report is based on 400MHz radios for rural locations. For Option B to be implemented for rural locations detailed path analysis checks at the higher frequency should be executed to determine correct antenna heights. Any cost estimates for rural locations are an approximation of anticipated tower heights given the 400MHz results Suggested Equipment List As follows: Modbus TCP Ethernet II framing capable PLC (Quantum, PAC3000, M340, Momentum, etc.) NOE 771 Ethernet card for Quantum systems MDS SD4 Ethernet Radio (Option A) Motorola PMP 430 Ethernet Radio (Option B) Motorola PTP Radio (Backhaul) Cisco RVE042 VPN router (Rural ISP connections) Juniper Networks SRX220 Router (Backhaul) 4-3

20 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo 4.2 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS This report is focused on the media, connectivity, and protocols required to create an Ethernet based SCADA. No additional software will be required as the Municipality already owns their own programming software such as Unity (Quantum PLCs) and Productivity Suite (PAC 3000 PLCs) for the PLC s in use that will be compatible with the new SCADA. 4-4 p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

21 REPORT 5 5 Technical Analysis 5.1 WATER TREATMENT PLANT Discussion The WTP is equipped with two types of PLC s used specifically for polling remote information. All remote wastewater sites operate via the WTP s SCADA system and any alarms received are dialled directly to the wastewater plant operators. The Symax Model 500 PLC located in the PLC laboratory polls information from all sites equipped with Symax processors (mainly wastewater) and leased line connections. It then sends the information to the main hot/standby Symax Model 600 PLC via its proprietary Symax network cable. The Symax Model 600 PLCs communicate with the main SCADA system via a Modbus RS422 serial link, as well as a Symax to MB+ gateway to the Quantum 534 PLC. The Modicon Quantum 534 PLC located in the PLC laboratory polls information from all sites equipped with Modicon Quantum processors and that operate on the Serial Radio network. This system also polls one leased line site (Prairie Creek) that is equipped with a Quantum PLC. The information polled via the MDS 4710 serial radios is received by the Quantum 534 processor using Modbus RTU (RS232) protocol. The processor then communicates with the WTP ifix HMI I/O servers via Modbus TCP Backhaul Currently, no means of communication that link all the sites together exists. As such, the new high speed backhaul should be built with the entire remote linking radio infrastructure installed at each high speed node. Building this infrastructure before upgrading the remote sites will allow for an easier transition of communications from the old system to the new Recommendation A dedicated Modbus TCP capable PLC designated strictly for polling remote information should be installed at the WTP. A Modicon Quantum PLC with an NOE card configured for Modbus TCP Ethernet II framing is highly recommended. The Quantum PLC has the highest storage and packet processing capabilities of all PLCs identified as being able to handle the required protocol. The Master PLC will read and write to all Water sites in the Municipality s SCADA. The ifix HMI will read and write directly to the Master PLC to send and receive data. This will ensure controlled bandwidth and near deterministic communications in the system. The Master PLC will connect into a router with the WTP network and the Motorola PTP backhaul radio. A new administration building roof-mounted antenna will link the PTP radio into the backhaul. A Juniper Networks SRX220 router is recommended, due to its powerful features and excellent price point. Modules are also available to have the router act as an internet firewall, as well as authenticate users into the SCADA backhaul. 5-1

22 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo The existing 400MHz MDS 4710 serial radios, leased line modems and Quantum/Symax PLCs can operate simultaneously with the new architecture. As the various sites are upgraded and removed from the 400 MHz frequency band, they can be brought onto the Ethernet network. Once all the sites have been upgraded and brought onto the network, the 4710 serial radio, leased line modems, and Symaxs can be de-commissioned. As new and existing remote sites are added to the new SCADA network, HMI and PLC programming will be required at the WTP to add these sites to the local control system. 5.2 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Discussion The WWTP was commissioned in 2006 and is equipped with Quantum PLC equipment capable of communicating to the new SCADA network. Currently, the WTP deals with all remote site information for the wastewater systems. The goal is to move the wastewater remote site information to the WWTP and allow for connectivity such that both the WTP and WWTP can remotely control the other plant when needed Recommendation The WWTP does not communicate with remote stations directly, and as a result, the WWTP s PLCs are not programmed to poll for remote information. The Modicon Quantums in use are capable of polling for information from remote sites in addition to their current tasks, but it is recommended the WWTP also be equipped with a new Modbus TCP capable PLC designated strictly for polling remote information. A Modicon Quantum with an NOE card is recommended for this task. The Quantum PLC has the highest storage and packet processing capabilities of all PLCs identified as being able to handle the required protocol. The proposed Ethernet network architecture will create a large Wide Area Network (WAN). Communication from the WWTP to remote sites or the WTP will be a simple matter of pointing at the network location where the desired device is located. Currently, the remote sites are not displayed on the WWTP HMI. As remote sites are converted to the new Ethernet network HMI and PLC programming will be required at the WWTP to add these sites to the local control system. 5-2 p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

Two IP addressing methods for private networks are used: 10.xx.xx.xx and xx.xx; each dot field is called an octet and can range from 0 to 254. The 10 and the addresses by internet convention are blocked and considered non-routable on the internet, thus they are used extensively in private networks. Each device on a network must have a unique identifier assigned to it so that it can be found by other devices. The most flexibility in addressing is gained when the 10 scheme is followed, and it is already in use at the WTP. As such, its continuation as the scheme of choice is recommended: 10.SITE.AREA.XXX. 5-3

24 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Each urban location will get a common site identifier for the second octet (10) to locate it in the city, and the rural locations will get a unique identifier to distinguish it from the urban system. Area in the third octet will be used to distinguish between water (10) and wastewater (20). The fourth octet will be the unique number for each device starting at Site ID s: WTP: xx WWTP: xx Fort McMurray: 10 Fort McKay: 20 Fort Chipewyan: 30 Hwy 881 Booster/Anzac: 40 Conklin: 50 Janvier: 60 Table 5-2 Suggested IP Addresses SITE CODE DESCRIPTION SITE AREA XXX IP ADDRESS URBAN Abasand Area Water ABPH/ABRE Abasand Pump House and Reservoir LTBS King Street Booster Station (NEW) ABRE2 Lower Townsite Pump House FMNT Fort McMurray North Truckfill BHPH/BHRE Beacon Hill Pump House and Reservoir (NEW) THPH/THRE Thickwood Pump House and Reservoir TLPH/TLRE Timberlea Pump House and Reservoir Abasand Area Wastewater GGLS Gregoire Park Lift Station EPLS Eco Park Lift Station (Tiaganova) MPLS Mackenzie Industrial Park Lift Station PCLS Prairie Creek Lift Station WWLS Waterways Lift Station LTLS3 #1B Lift Station GTLS Grayling Terrace Lift Station ABLS Riverview Heights Lift Station LTLS2 Father Mercredi 1A THLS Cornwall Lift Station WBLS Wood Buffalo Lift Station p:\ \00_rmwb_scada_mp\engineering\03.02_conceptual_feasibility_report\master plan report\rpt_rmwb_scada_mstr_plan_final.doc

27 REPORT 6 6 Upgrade Plan and Project Implementation 6.1 SITE CONDITION CONSIDERATIONS Many conditions will affect the priority of one site over another in the list to be upgraded. Key to any sequenced upgrade is to have the high speed backhaul built and operational prior to any remote site conversions. Once the backhaul is in place and Master PLCs at the WTP and WWTP are operational, conversion of the existing sites, and the addition of sites to the SCADA become a function of need and opportunity. This report will base its recommendations on easiest to convert first and most work last. Conditions that will influence a particular site s position in the upgrade list are: Sites with very old controls and instrumentation should undergo a plant wide upgrade to add controls and functionality, as well as equipment capable of communicating over the new SCADA. Sites that are already on serial radios and can be easily converted. These are mostly upgraded already and minor adjustments will allow easy SCADA integration. Sites with a history of control issues or problems are a priority. Sites that are major pumping facilities, i.e., Timberlea or Lift Station 1A, and critical infrastructure facilities. Major facility locations in rural locations, i.e., Fort Chipewyan WTP, should be upgraded first and secondary locations, such as lift stations, can be done later. 6.2 PHASED IMPLEMENTATION 1. Build the new SCADA backhaul linking the WTP, WWTP, Abasand, Mackenzie, Hwy 881, and Saprae Creek (Option B). Include the appropriate remote site radios (Option A or B), the routers, and the Master Quantum PLCs at the WTP and WWTP. Add a static internet connection with a VPN module to the backhaul router at the WTP. 2. Convert all sites with existing serial radios to the new SCADA. Add Ethernet capabilities as required. Most of these sites have already been upgraded typically with Quantum PLCs. 3. Convert existing leased line remote sites (mostly wastewater) to the new SCADA. Most of these sites are undergoing upgrades at present with PAC3000 PLCs so Ethernet access will not be an issue. 4. Any site with a Quantum PLC, as it will only require an NOE card to enable remote communication functionality. 5. Begin upgrading all other sites based on priority and need. We recommend that a site by site upgrade be tackled, based on criticality of the site, age of the equipment, and need for access and control. Rural primary locations like Fort Chipewyan WTP, Fort McKay WTP, Conklin WTP, Anzac pump house and Janvier WTP should occur first with surrounding sites added as budget allows. 6.3 REMOTE SITE NETWORK SUMMARY AND COST ESTIMATE 6-1

73 3 R. M of Wood Buffalo New Generation SCADA System Goals 1. Design a SCADA system for both the Water Treatment Plant and Waste Water Treatment Plant systems. 2. Study the feasibility of replacing the existing 400 MHz backhaul with a high speed system. 3. Increase SCADA speeds to at least 19.2 Kbps. Process 1. Review the existing UHF SCADA network now used by the Water Treatment Plant. 2. Confirm if the existing backhaul sites can migrate to a high speed system operating in the 5.8 GHz band. 3. Review new sites for Water Treatment Plant and Waste Water Treatment Plant systems and integrate them into the new system design. Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

74 4 Recommendations Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

75 5 Proposed System Overview SCADA communications is required by the Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment systems. In order to provide respective SCADA host communications requirements, the following is recommended. Replace the existing UHF serial based network with a high speed Ethernet based backhaul system. Both the Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment hosts will the share high speed Ethernet base backhaul system. UHF Ethernet based SCADA links will be used from the respective backhaul towers to the remote sites. The Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment hosts will each operate on separate SCADA systems/channels while sharing the backhaul network. Remote sites at Janvier and Conklin will require a separate Ethernet link in order to access the remote stations at these locations. A number of options for remote connectivity are available and include VSAT, Supernet and the Cellular data networks. Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

76 6 Backhaul System Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

77 7 Backhaul System A point-point analysis was complete and shows that the existing UHF backhaul system can be replaced with a high capacity 5.8/6 GHz system. This system would be installed at the following locations and provide connectivity from the Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment host sites. Water Treatment Facility Waste Water Treatment Facility Abasand Pumphouse and Reservoir Mackenzie Pumphouse and Reservoir 881 Booster Station Ft. McMurray WWTP Host SCADA Abasand Pumphouse & Reservoir Mackenzie Pumphouse & Reservoir Hwy 88 Booster Station Ft. McMurray WTP Host SCADA This high speed network will be Ethernet based and provide a projected data throughput of: Water Treatment Plant to Abasand Pumphouse Waste Water Treatment Plant to Abasand Pumphouse Abasand Pumphouse to Mackenzie Pumphouse 25.7 Mbps (51.5 Mbps aggregate) 20 Mbps (40 Mbps aggregate) 17.5 Mbps (35 Mbps aggregate) Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

78 8 Mackenzie Pumphouse to 881 Booster 18.2 Mbps (36.3 Mbps aggregate) Please refer to the attached product information on the Motorola PTP58500 equipment. The following tower height will be required to meet the design requirements: Site Existing (m) Required (m) Water Treatment Plant Waste Water Treatment Plant NA 36.6 Abasand Pumphouse Mackenzie Pumphouse Booster The existing towers at Mackenzie and 881 can be used for the new backhaul system while the Abasand Pumphouse tower will have to be replaced with a m tower. All equipment interfacing into this new system will have to be Ethernet based. Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

79 9 Backhaul Network Hosts to Abasand Reservoir Two separate 5.8 GHz link will be used from each host to the Abasand tower. The backhaul connection from Abasand to 881 Booster via Mackenzie will consist of a single shared facility. Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

86 16 Water Treatment SCADA System The host at the Water Treatment Plant will use the previously detailed 5.8 GHz backhaul system to access towers at: Abasand Pumphouse Mackenzie Pumphouse 881 Booster Abasand Pumphouse & Reservoir Mackenzie Pumphouse & Reservoir Hwy 88 Booster Station Ft. McMurray WTP Host SCADA Water Treatment Backhaul Network At each of these sites the PTP58500 equipment will be interfaced to UHF SCADA radios for the final link to the actual remote sites. It should be noted that separate UHF SCADA systems are recommended for the Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment functions. In the case of the Water Treatment system, the majority of the existing non-radio equipment can be reused. Extending the 5.8 GHz Backhaul circuit to Fort Mackay, Conklin and Janvier is not currently possible without intermediary towers. Once towers have been identified an RF analysis may be conducted to determine suitability. An alternative to extending the terrestrial system is to use either satellite, Supernet or the Cellular Data Network. For this study it will be assumed that a VSAT satellite system will be used. A VPN connection would be implemented from the Water Treatment Host to the VSAT Teleport the VSAT teleport in Edmonton. This Ethernet connection would be relayed via geosynchronous satellite to VSAT equipment at Fort Mackay, Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

88 18 The Water Treatment SCADA system currently operates in the MHz using a serial based GE MDS 4710 system. The new high speed Ethernet based backhaul network will require that all serial based equipment be replaced with Ethernet capable radios. It is also likely that the PLC equipment associated with these radios will have to share this capability. It is recommended that the 4710 serial based radios be replaced with the MDS SD4 serial/ethernet model (product information attached). By retaining the current UHF frequencies the following existing equipment can be used: Power Supplies Antenna Systems (antenna, polyphasors and RF cable) Tower and antenna support structures. Duplexers The new SD4 radios will be configured for 19.2 Kbps to maximize data speeds. In the cases of Ft. McKay, Janvier and Conklin, distances preclude a direct terrestrial link. If suitable towers can be identified the 5.8 GHz backhaul network may be extended. However, a simpler and likely more cost effective solution would be to provision an Ethernet data circuit to these subsystems via a VSAT satellite link.

113 43 If any of the existing stations currently operate in the MHz band using a serial based GE MDS 4710 system, they can be easily be upgraded to Ethernet SD4 radios. The new high speed Ethernet based backhaul network will require that all serial based equipment be replaced with Ethernet capable radios. It is also likely that the PLC equipment associated with this equipment will have to share this capability. It is recommended that the 4710 serial based radios be replaced with the MDS SD4 serial/ethernet model (product information attached). By retaining the existing UHF frequencies already assigned to the R. M. of Wood Buffalo, any existing equipment such as the following can be reused: Power Supplies Antenna Systems (antenna, polyphasors and RF cable) Tower and antenna support structures. For those locations requiring a new and complete RF connection, the following RF survey s and information may be used to provision the system. Typically a site will consist of: SD4 Ethernet SCADA Radio Antenna system (Yagi antenna, RF coaxial cable and polyphasor) Antenna system support structure of the identified high. Typically either masts or self-support towers. The new SD4 radios will be configured for 19.2 Kbps to maximize data speeds. As with the Water Treatment SCADA system, Ft. McKay, Janvier and Conklin are too distant to easily use a direct terrestrial link. If suitable towers can be identified the 5.8 GHz backhaul network may be extended. However, a simpler and likely more cost effective solution would be to provision an Ethernet data circuit to these subsystems via a VSAT satellite link.

137 67 Summary Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study

138 68 Summary The following is a summary of the recommendations detailed in this report. 1. Change the backhaul network from UHF ( MHz) to a 5.8 GHz high speed system. The new system will be Ethernet based and offer data speed of up to 50 Mbps. This new backhaul system will be shared by both the Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment SCADA systems. 2. Replace the existing 9600bps serial based SCADA radios with 19.2 Kbps Ethernet SCADA radios. The majority of the Water Treatment SCADA infrastructure should be reusable on the new system. 3. The Waste Water Treatment SCADA system will require new equipment which will be 19.2 Kbps and Ethernet based. 4. The extension of the new 5.8 GHz backhaul system to Fort Mackay, Janvier, Conklin and likely Fort Chipewyan will likely not be economically feasible. Alternative methods of connection to the SCADA equipment at these facilities using such mediums as VSAT satellite should be considered. A VPN connection from the Hosts (Water Treatment and Waste Water Treatment) to the satellite teleport and then to the applicable facility should provide the necessary connectivity. 5. Subsystems consisting of 19.2 Kbps SCADA systems would be installed at Fort Mackay, Janvier, Conklin and possible Fort Chipewyan. Glentel Inc. RM of Wood Buffalo Study
