Subject area	Cyber-physical systems
More specific subject area	Anomaly detection and security
Type of data	Raw signal measurements directly collected from a liquid storage and distribution cyber-physical subsystem, composed by one ultrasound depth sensor, four discrete sensors, two pumps, and a communication network
How data was acquired	A personal computer sounder recorded all the signals in synchroNous automatic mode, scanning every 0.1 s the system's programmable logic controller (PLC)
Data format	Comma separated values (CSV) files
Experimental factors	Fifteen situations were recorded separately including – Normal, blocked measures, floating objects on the liquid's surface, sensor failure, denial of service, spoofing, wrong connection, and hit of the tanks with different intensities – to illustrate five factual operational scenarios
Experimental features	Relations between dysfunctional components of the cyber-physical subsystem, operational scenario, and systemic effects are represented
