Research Methodology
The designed System architecture consists of three main steps:
 Mobile phone program
 Server side program (SSP)
 SCADA controlling program (SCP) [5]-[6].

Mobile phone program

The mobile phone program is designed by using J2ME (Java Micro Edition downloaded) to a
mobile phone with GPRS (general packet radio service) or WAP (wireless application protocol).
The program sends the data required for the web server in accordance with the protocol using
preferably GPRS or WAP internet access technology, receives the data sent by web server, and
informs it to the user with the help of graphical interface analyzing this knowledge in its structure.
The application routine has two stages. At the first stage, current and voltage values of the system,
state of motor 1 and motor 2 (ON/OFF), and bucket position value are sent to the mobile phone
from the SCADA server. The data received by the mobile phone are interpreted by the J2ME
application and some related graphical animations are offered to the user. At the second stage, an
authorized user can control the SCADA system values via the mobile phone by using its user name
and password. In our case study, authorized users can control the state of motor 1, motor 2, and
the system on/off position by using the J2ME application program in the mobile phone.

Server side program

A Server side program (SSP) can be designed by using any server side script. The proposed mobile
phone based SCADA automation system. In this application, ASP is used as a SSP in order to get
fast response to a lower number of users than Java Servlet that supports excessive users. It receives
the request data sent by the program integrated into the mobile phone. It reads the values belonging
to the state or position database located in the computer in which the web server is installed. These
data are sent to the mobile phone via Internet in accordance with the program in the mobile phone
and the protocol between them [10]–[12].

SCADA controlling programs

This program is installed in the same computer with the SCADA system and has a visual interface,
receives the data pertaining to the state of the system connecting with SCADA, and saves it to the
condition-stating database in the computer in which the web server is installed. Two different
programs have been designed and used to monitor and control the SCADA system via mobile
phone. The remote control program mobile to SCADA has been used to control the SCADA
system via mobile phone, while the remote supervisor program (SCADA) to mobile has been used
to monitor the SCADA system via mobile phone. TCP/IP offers reliability by providing
connection-oriented, end-to-end reliable packet delivery through an Internet network. It does this
by sequencing bytes with a forwarding acknowledgment number that indicates to the destination
the next byte the source expects to receive. Bytes not acknowledged within a specified period are
retransmitted. The reliability mechanism of TCP/IP allows devices to deal with lost, delayed,
duplicate, or misread packets. A time-out mechanism allows devices to detect lost packets and
request retransmission.
