Abstract
Data Acquisition Real-Time System developed for the Laguna Verde Nuclear
Power Plant in Veracruz, Mexico. Due to the fact that the data acquisition modules needed to be replaced, the need for
a New Acquisition System arose. Replacing the former data acquisition system has several technical challenges,
including the fact that it must work together with the former system. Additionally, it must remain online during the
whole process, since the Data Acquisition System is one of the nuclear power plant most important monitoring
systems and it is required for its operation. This paper focuses on the key software design aspects of the New
Acquisition System, which were used to address the main system requirements: Integration with the former data
system, multiple data source support, high-frequency data storage and high-speed data access. The New Acquisition
System is composed of a vast number of modules. This paper specifically focuses on Acquisition Subsystems, the
Central Acquisition Process and the Master Historical Archive Process.
