SACP Improvement

Currently, the SACP has only a limited number of recognized commands. It is also a very simple protocol and might not be sufficient for future types of SCADA-TEMS. Suggestions for improvement will include changing the data format of the SACP messages. Currently, the SACP return messages only return the device status and its reading. Sensor devices may need a more complicated SACP return message. SACP control messages can also be improved. The control message also have the limitation of the return messages. The use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) can also aid in increasing compatibility with other protocols.
