Abstract

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems monitor and control industrial processes, like power generation and distribution. Research on e.g. SCADA security and the implementation of new approaches is made difficult through the lack of accessible test beds. We investigate running a dedicated SCADA test bed on a Raspberry Pi cluster and report the experiences made during installation, configuration and administration. Build with production readiness in mind, we describe how a large level of automation contributes to both, ease of use and a reliable set-up. In the future this testbed will be used to implement new approaches for (i) process monitoring, (ii) intrusion-detection and the combination of different (iii) information and communication technologies for SCADA systems.
