Overview of SENECA’s field architecture: data acquisition, 4G/IP remote monitoring, energy measurement and SCADA/cloud integration.

Remote Monitoring and Management

SENECA RTUs and controllers (R-PASS, R-COMM, Z-LTE4 and Z-PASS1/2) manage logic and alarms, enabling local control and data exchange via Ethernet/4G and secure VPN. Depending on the model, they offer Straton IEC 61131-3 programming, IEC 60870/61850 protocols, and IIoT connectivity (MQTT, OPC UA), supporting scalable architectures and integration with third-party systems. The containerised RTU Edge is planned for Q1 2027.

Monitoring and Data Acquisition

Consistent measurements, accessible historical data and alarms for monitoring networks and plants: acquisition of pressure, flow, level and water-quality signals, volume counting and SCADA integration. The range includes modular, distributed I/O systems from the R and Z-PC Series, data loggers, measurement instruments (converters, indicators and transmitters) and calibrators for plant testing and diagnostics.

Energy and Plant Efficiency

Correlating electricity consumption with process data helps identify inefficiencies and changes in operating conditions. Measurement converters, current sensors (CTs/Rogowski), analyzers and meters measure voltage, current, power and energy, while RTUs supporting IEC 61850/60870 protocols collect and transmit the data. R203/R204 analyzers enable specific consumption calculations (kWh/m³) and energy efficiency assessment.

Cybersecurity and operational continuity

For water-sector operators within the scope of NIS2, transposed into Italian law by Legislative Decree No. 138/2024, cyber risk-management obligations also cover supply-chain security and supplier relationships. In this context, SENECA solutions support secure remote access to plants and integration with SCADA systems. The LET’S platform combines gateways and VPN infrastructure to manage connections, users, and devices for remote monitoring and assistance. Developed in line with Security by Design principles, these solutions take into account the main applicable technical and regulatory frameworks, including ISA/IEC 62443, NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
