10.1109/PQ.1998.710378. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems

have been in existence for a number of years now, They are employed in various
applications which involve the simultaneous acquisition of large amounts of data,
real-time processing, display and supervisory control. SCADA based controllers have
been incorporated in integrated iron and steel plants in two packages-one to meet
the requirements of SCADA control for electricity supply systems and a second for
gas/heat, water supply and metallurgical facilities. Computer-based systems for
SCADA help control system operators to achieve real-time data acquisition,
processing, display and control of data pertaining to large process environments.
Systems engineering techniques provide solutions by optimally configuring state-of-
the-art hardware and appropriate software. Aspects of expansion and maintenance are
given due regard to enhance the useful life of such control systems
