InTouch SCADA Login Password Security

Learn how to create login security for InTouch SCADA programs using multi-level users with a specific username and password.

InTouch SCADA Security

Security is an essential parameter in every industry. Who can have access to the data and how much a person can see data, everything you can control within SCADA software.

Let’s learn how to activate the security feature in InTouch SCADA.

Step 1:

Open InTouch. Create a new project and enter an animation environment.

Step 2:

Now I will take an example in which I have a three-persons, one is a manager, the second one is an engineer and the last one is an operator.

I will take three buttons to represent each person and will use three lamps in which I define who can have access to activate the lamp.

To add a button, click on the last icon as shown in the below window.

Do right click on each text button to give a name.

Step 3:

I have added text to the buttons.

Step 4:

Now add three lamps.

Step 5:

To activate security go to “special” then “select security type” and select “InTouch”.

Step 6:

Then go to “special” and in security click on “log in”.

Step 7:

The following window will pop up. Give a name and password to add user access.

The default user name is “administrator” and the password is “Wonderware”.

Step 8:

Then go to “special” and click on “configure user”.

Step 9:

The following pop up will open.

Add user name, password, and access name for a user that we want to configure.

Click on “Add” to add a user.

Step 10:

Now Double click on “manager” and select “disable” option.

Step 11:

In the below pop-up, give an access level “1” (as per we gave into the security window). Hit “ok” to proceed.

Do the same to the other two buttons.

Also, give a tag name to the lamp.

Step 12:

To test the animation, go to the runtime window. As you can see all three buttons are disabled.

Step 13:

Now login to access the first lamp which relates to the manager. Login and do follow as shown in the below window.

Step 14:

Give the user name and password which you have created earlier, Hit ok to enable the manager button.

Step 15:

As you can see now the button is active. You can turn ON the lamp now.

To active engineer and operator, the button does follow the same procedure as above and give a password and user name and test the animation.

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...

Thermowell Insertion and Immersion Length

The thermowell is the industrial housing for temperature elements like RTD or thermocouple or temperature gauges. Thermowell is directly exposed to process fluid/media. Inside the thermowell, element/gauge is installed. Thermowell transfers the heat to the temperature element. Depending upon the element type, the fluid temperature can be known. So Thermowell protects the temperature element against harsh conditions and process fluid. It enables removal of the temperature element for replacement, repair, or testing without affecting the process system. Generally, thermowells are provided with all-temperature Elements like RTD or Thermocouple or temperature gauge. A few exceptions would be bearing RTD, skin type thermocouple, air duct thermometer, etc where thermowell is not applicable / required. When the thermowell assembly is inserted into the pipe, it is subjected to vibration. This vibration is caused by vortices to be generated alternately on either side of the thermowell. The...
