The increasing relevance of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems in the energy and industrial sectors underscores the importance of integrating their study into engineering education. This paper presents the design and implementation of a SCADA system based on the IEC 61850 standard in the Power Systems Laboratory at the Universidad de Concepción. The project aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application by equipping students with hands-on experience in modern technologies aligned with Industry 4.0. The methodology involved a comprehensive literature review, followed by the development of a SCADA system using tools such as the AXC F 2152 PLC, SMCS BTX Switch from Phoenix Contact, PLCnext Engineer, and Node-Red. The system integrates features such as HMI-based visualization, historical data logging, and alarm management. Although full compliance with IEC 61850 was constrained by equipment limitations, significant progress was achieved using OPC UA servers to enable interoperability between devices with diverse communication protocols. The implementation emphasizes the educational value of combining theory with advanced technology, enhancing students’ understanding of SCADA systems, communication protocols, and automation. Recommendations include adding RTUs and protocol converters to improve reliability and redundancy. This initiative strengthens engineering education and prepares students for challenges in industrial digitalization and automation.

摘要

The increasing relevance of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems in the energy and industrial sectors underscores the importance of integrating their study into engineering education. This paper presents the design and implementation of a SCADA system based on the IEC 61850 standard in the Power Systems Laboratory at the Universidad de Concepción. The project aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application by equipping students with hands-on experience in modern technologies aligned with Industry 4.0. The methodology involved a comprehensive literature review, followed by the development of a SCADA system using tools such as the AXC F 2152 PLC, SMCS BTX Switch from Phoenix Contact, PLCnext Engineer, and Node-Red. The system integrates features such as HMI-based visualization, historical data logging, and alarm management. Although full compliance with IEC 61850 was constrained by equipment limitations, significant progress was achieved using OPC UA servers to enable interoperability between devices with diverse communication protocols. The implementation emphasizes the educational value of combining theory with advanced technology, enhancing students’ understanding of SCADA systems, communication protocols, and automation. Recommendations include adding RTUs and protocol converters to improve reliability and redundancy. This initiative strengthens engineering education and prepares students for challenges in industrial digitalization and automation.
