Coordination of large scale distributed measurement and control systems, such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and other process control system implementations, require reliable and robust networks that can connect thousands of remote devices from multiple remote locations. Additionally, many heavy industries have ever increasing demands of their infrastructure to handle more network services and deliver a full spectrum of control and monitoring of thousands and even tens of thousands of points within their global business operations. This paper will outline a new novel method of providing a convergent use of the IEC 61850 protocol, within process control networks, to provide a more deterministic type of process control, monitoring and energy management. The benefits of real-time archiving of process values, process messages, Intelligent Electronic Device (lED) status and alarm data along with process batch data can be achieved in an advancement of traditional historian based systems. This new approach, providing traditional downtime reports and alarm summaries for maintenance purposes along with the added benefits of providing the opportunity for highly accurate and time synchronized energy consumption and energy balance data along with efficiency reports of various different production or process operations. index Terms-International Electrotechnical Commission (lEC) 61850, intelligent electronic device, process historian, OLE DB, historical data trending, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) I.978-1-4799-3309-9/14/$31.00

Industrial Ethernet provides a flexible, responsive system that incorporates both real-time data from control and production areas. This networking architecture provides connectivity, collaboration, and integration from the device level right through and including the enterprise business systems.Industrial Ethernet applies the IP suite of standards developed for data communication to manufacturing control networks. To deploy this technology, forest product industry engineers must now be familiar with some of the important concepts behind Industrial Ethernet. This paper will present a general overview of the most important ethernet technologies required to install and configure industrial systems, how Industrial Ethernet varies from traditional, proprietary, factory-floor networks and how this high-performance, scalable architecture can add additional business value making it an attractive choice for forest product industry businesses.
