e-terracontrol
Flexible and scalable SCADA for the power industry
Improving your real-time SCADA operations with e-terracontrol
Customer Benets
Full SCADA
Highly reliable
Open scalable platform
Secure operation
Cost-effective integration
ALSTOM Grids e-terracontrols rst focus is
system reliability.
The rst requirement of a Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is
nonstop operation that functions properly
under steady conditions and specially under
severe critical conditions. With thousands of
licenses deployed around the world for SCADA
applications, gateway and communication
front-end, from Substation , Windfarm to
the largest National Dispatching centers,
e-terracontrol is greatly exceeding the 99,95%
industry availability standard.

The Story
e-terracontrol is centered upon exibility to
adapt. With the Smart Grid transformation,
Industry is moving with an unprecedented
number of acquisition devices, including
Remote Terminal Units, Intelligent Equipment
devices and ever growing number of Meters.
A scalable SCADA, with capabilities to manage
a wide diversity of equipment is key.
A single e-terracontrol server is capable to
manage up to 256 serial lines in parallel and
2000 network-based IP connections.
In todays changing SCADA world a system
must be more then reliable and scalable,
changes to the system must be integrated
quickly without impacting the systems
performance or availability. e-terracontrols
design allows for changes to occur on-line
to both the database and displays while the
system is running and performing critical
SCADA functions..
e-terracontrol includes a wide set of advanced
functions in addition to the fundamental
SCADA functions, while keeping a very easy
installation and fast learning curve.

ALSTOM Grid has adopted a product
development philosophy of using standard
off-the-shelf technologies to lower your
total cost of ownership of a SCADA system.
e-terracontrol is written in object-oriented
C++ using Microsofts.Net software
development toolset employing best practices
in terms of quality and security.
Included with e-terracontrol is
e-terrabrowser, ALSTOM Grids web-based
full graphics display development toolkit. All
tabular displays are automatically generated
from the database
The e-terrabrowser development environment
allows users to build an unlimited number
of graphical online displays to visualize the
real-time SCADA system data and events. The
toolkit allows users to congure both thick and
thin user clients and optionally integrate into
a web server for distribution to multiple end
users simultaneously.
e-terracontrols base system offers
enterprise-wide security with user controlled
authentication and access control. When
congurations become distributed and security
administration becomes a concern, customers
have the option to integrate ALSTOM
Grids e-terratrust product which provides
centralized Kerberos user Authentication,
Authorization, and Audit for multi-site
distributed congurations and operations.
e-terracontrol supports a wide range of
standard and proprietary protocols for system
integration and device communications
support. Standard protocols for system
integration include; TCP/IP, ActiveX, ODBC,
DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange), ADO, and
OLE for Process Control (OPC).
Standard data exchange protocols include the
following:

IEC 60870-5-101 Master & Slave (Serial)

IEC 60870-5-103 (Serial)

IEC 60870-5-104 Master & Slave (TCP/IP)

IEC 60870-6 TASE.2 (ICCP) {TLS Security
Option}

IEC 61850 (TCP/IP)

DNP 3.0 Master & Slave (TCP/IP & Serial)

Modbus Master & Slave (TCP/IP & Serial)
In addition e-terracontrol supports over 30
proprietary serial RTU protocols.
e-terracontrol can simultaneous run all
protocols listed.
This allows customers to integrate and operate
both legacy eld devices and newer IEDs in
a seamless environment. e-terracontrol also
allows customers to create a migration path
for existing equipment and devices.
e-terracontrol requires only a server running
windows on standard PC machine or Servers.
e-terracontrol can be installed also on
ruggedized equipment without disks or fans.
e-terracontrol has all the features of a high
end SCADA system and accommodates
highly distributed multi-site operations. The
e-terrabrowser user interface is networked
based and can be operated remotely or locally.
Multiple systems can be installed and remotely
share data and controls.
e-terracontrol brings cost-
effective integration into
various SCADA applications
SCADA master for power
networks
Plant Data Interfaces
Communications Gateways
Substation SCADA Server
SCADA Front End

SCADA system
conguration
e-terracontrol includes a powerful Alarm Management System and
an Alarm pager application with e-mail, pager or audible notication.
Single points of failure can be avoided using a fully redundant
conguration and e-terracontrols high availability automatic failover
and restart services.
e-terracontrol failover services automatically negotiates primary system
operation and maintains an internal watchdog system with failover to
the secondary system when a critical device or software process stops
functioning.
This failover is almost instantaneous after failure detection and the user
interfaces, operator consoles, automatically reconnect to the primary
machine upon failover.
With e-terracontrol you can acquire and distribute real-time data to
business users providing the entire enterprise with information necessary
to make better business decisions.
With e-terracontrol you can manage your assets closer to real time and
optimize operational costs.
e-terracontrol is a versatile and exible SCADA system suited for
electrical power and various sectors like Distribution Network,
WindFarms, HydroPower plants, Thermal power plant, Industrial plant,
Airport, Buildings.
e-terracontrol brings wind power visibility
e-terracontrol
can represent,
monitor and
control any type
of grid
Topology and
Feeder coloring
provide a realistic
operational view
of your distribution
