Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are frequently used in manufacturing and critical infrastructures like water treatment, chemical plants, and transportation schemes. Citizens tend to take modern-day conveniences such as trains, planes or tap water for granted without considering the critical systems involved for their operations. Interrupting these industries could lead to disastrous consequences, leading to financial losses or even costing human lives. For that reason, researchers have been actively investigating the threats targeting ICS. In this paper, the authors propose a mechanism of attack detection and mitigation for attacks focusing on the input memory of Programming Logic Controllers (PLCs). To help investigate this concept, a testbed that models a clean water supply system was built using components and technologies currently used in the industry. The mechanism supporting attack detection and response for the input memory is implemented within the PLC itself as part of its programming. The mechanism of response involves three different techniques: optimised datablocks, switching between control strategies and obtaining the sensor readings directly from its analogue channel. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach along with the effectiveness of each response mechanism.

“…Siemens PLCs do not distinguish between authorized and unauthorized connections, for that reason, it is possible to inquire information pretending to be an authorized client. We use the SCAPY tool [38] to generate the packet. Further, we use the Wireshark tool to monitor the network activity between the Raspberry Pi and the PLC.…”

Power companies usually answer the increase in power demand by building new generation facilities. Nevertheless, an efficient use of energy could reduce and delay the costs of investment in new power plants. This paper shows a software system to manage transformers and evaluate losses when they work with zero loads. This system contributes to reduce the waste of energy with some simple actions such as shutting off an unused transformer or reconnecting disabled equipment based on the customer's demand. It uses real time measurements collected from Intelligent Electronic Devices as a base for software decisions. It also measures and reports the total power saving.Keywords: Automated Systems, energy management, industry electric utility control, intelligent electronic device. RESUMENLas compañías eléctricas por lo general responden al aumento de la demanda de energía mediante la construcción de nuevas instalaciones de generación. Sin embargo, un uso eficiente de la energía podría reducir y retrasar los gastos de inversión en nuevas centrales eléctricas. En este trabajo se muestra el sistema de software para gestionar transformadores y evaluar las pérdidas cuando trabajan con cero cargas. Este sistema ayuda a reducir la pérdida de energía con acciones simples como: Desenergizar un transformador no utilizado o volver a conectar el equipo con base en la demanda del cliente. Utiliza las mediciones en tiempo real obtenidas de la base de Intelligent Electronic Devices para el software de Decisiones. También mide e informa el ahorro total de energía.Palabras clave: Sistemas automatizados, gestión de la energía, industria eléctrica control de servicios, dispositivo electrónico inteligente.
