Abstract

A system for securely transferring information from an industrial control system network, including, within the secure domain, one or more remote terminal units coupled by a first network, one or more client computers coupled by a second network, and a send server coupled to the first and second networks. The send server acts as a proxy for communications between the client computers and the remote terminals and transmits first information from such communications on an output. The send server also transmits a poll request to a remote terminal unit via the first network and transmits second information received in response to the poll on the output. The system also includes, outside the secure domain, a receive server having an input coupled to the output of the send server via a one-way data link. The receive server receives and stores the first and second information provided via the input.
