I use scada mostly for power distribution systems, and the scada system is usually specified by the client or utility company. We just install it and get it commissioned. But if I see a place we can work you into the action, I'll let you know.
Glad the new putor-in-a-box works! Looks like a real screamer man.

 

Nice system, FM. Not too bad, huh? And with the money you saved, you can buy a few spare parts or even a whole system as a hot spare depending on how much of a PITA downtime is. In my experience, the most common thing to go bad are the fans. Second to fans would be power supplies. Luckily those are generally pretty cheap, compared to some of the other parts.
