Abstract

This paper presents the approach to develop the SCADA system supporting the expertise distributed amongst multiple persons. SCADA systems are briefly presented and the analysis of sources of conflicts in the multiuser SCADA system is provided. To assess the scale of conflicts two usage scenarios are assumed, i.e. the collaborative environment for skilled engineers and experts, and competitive environment for students and researchers. The implemented solution allows the users to take exclusive control of specified parameter of the plant by dividing the users into specific groups and using the token-based mechanism. The proposed conflict resolution mechanism has been implemented in the industrial pilot plant setup.
