Need suggestion for online, web based load monitoring of gas turbine with mark v and mark 2 control system. we want to monitor all the engine load via internet.
thank you
thank you
See this thread for the most important consideration in making this decision:

Security is paramount to any other factor.
You could use any SCADA software if you're just looking for load information. If you're looking for more than that, you'll need to have some method for getting information into the SCADA software. You can install separate load transducers and use the 4-20 mA outputs as inputs to the SCADA software, and then remote in to the SCADA computer(s).
(If you're looking for a recommendation for a SCADA package, look long and hard at Trihedral Engineering's VTS and VTScada software. They have experience in remote power generation data-gathering over large geographical areas. www.trihedral.com)
For the Mark V, you have a few options, including getting an OPC-based system to get additional data to the SCADA system. For the Mark II system, you will have much more trouble with getting more information into the the monitoring system since there's not a digital means of getting at the data, even with an ITS module. You'd need to have separate sensors for the information and feed them into the monitoring/SCADA system.
The details for getting the data onto an Internet link are simple. The difficult and likely the most costly part will be setting up and maintaining a proper level of security to protect against malicious or even mild hacking.
For the final time, security has to be the primary and highest consideration. And likely the most costly to implement and maintain.
Because, it's happened many times around the world. It always starts with just the load information, then the bean counters want more and more and more. And then people want to control load via the link.
Set it up correctly from the beginning, anticipating any possible, not just likely, future possibilities and desires. Or the costs will skyrocket as the "requirements" change.
