Remote Monitoring of Oil Pipelines Cathodic Protection System via GSM and Its Application to SCADA System

Nowadays, regarding the development of technology and applying the modern methods and system controls, using traditional methods and being on the site have been replaced by remote supervision that has various advantages. Therefore, an appropriate approach, using these modern methods, and applying information technology in industry seems necessary. In this paper, the authors intend to explain a device for remote sending the cathodic protection information of oil and gas pipelines and applying it to SCADA system via GMS. This device has been designed and tested in the Iranian Oil Pipelines and Telecommunication (IOPTC) of Lorestan Province for first time in Iran.
