  • Patent number: 11037740
    Abstract: A lockout device for a switch assembly includes a body defining a bottom surface and a recess extending inward from the bottom surface to receive a toggle switch, first and second clamping portions disposed on first and second longitudinal sides of the recess, and an adjustable cleat member secured with the body and movable between a retracted position in which the cleat member is retained inward of the bottom surface of the body and an extended position in which the cleat member extends beyond the bottom surface of the body.

  • Publication number: 20100058052
    Abstract: A secure supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system includes a SCADA control host system and any number of remote terminal unit (RTU) systems. Each RTU system includes an RTU transceiver, an RTU and a remote security device (RSD) coupling the RTU to the RTU transceiver. The SCADA control host system includes a SCADA control host configured to exchange SCADA information with each of the RTUs in a SCADA format, and a host security device (HSD) coupling the SCADA control host to a host transceiver. The host transceiver is configured to establish communications with each of the plurality of RTU transceivers. The HSD communicates with the RSDs to transparently encrypt the SCADA information using a cryptographic protocol that is independent of the SCADA protocol to thereby secure the communications between the HSD and each of the RSDs.

  • Publication number: 20080109889
    Abstract: A secure supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is presented. The inventive system includes a SCADA control host system configured to process SCADA information, and at least one remote device configured to communicate SCADA information with the control host system. The inventive system further includes a modem coupled between the at least one remote device and a communication line, wherein the modem is configured to allow for communication between the remote device and the communication line. The system further includes a security module coupled between the modem and the remote device. The security module is configured to control access to the remote device by a user seeking access thereto from the communication line through the modem.

  • Publication number: 20070162957
    Abstract: A secure supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is presented. The inventive system includes a SCADA control host configured to process SCADA information, and at least one remote device configured to communicate with the control host. The remote device includes at least a first port and a second port wherein the first port is configured for communicating the SCADA information with said control host. The system further includes at least one modem coupled between the remote device and at least one communication line, wherein the modem is configured to allow for communication between the remote device and the at least one communication line. The inventive system still further includes a security module coupled between the modem and the second port of the remote device. The security module is configured to control access to the remote device by a user seeking access thereto from the communication line through the modem.
