• SCADA is a centralized system that monitors and controls the entire area. This supervisory
system gathers data on the process and sends the commands control to the process.
• The main goal of this supervisory system is to monitor and control equipment in the
industrial processes for companies in the public and private sectors. As a matter of fact, in
today's world, there are SCADA systems almost everywhere. This includes industrial plants,
manufacturing, transportation, oil and gas, power distribution, water control and etc.
• Let's dive deeper into SCADA functions and the components that make SCADA operations
possible.
EVOLUTION OF SCADA
• 1890’s Remote Control and Remote Indication.
• 1920’s Tele-command and control.
• 1930’s Check Before Operate (CEO) Systems, Based on Electro Mechanical
Technology.
• 1960’s Supervisory Control Systems (Remote Control & Status Indication).
• 1960’s Data Acquisitions gaming Popularity (DAS) SCADA came into being.
• 1980’s Load Dispatch Centre and Control.
• 1990’s Energy Control Centre.
• 2000’s Energy Management Systems.
NEED OF SCADA
Monitor the system
Control the system and check the required performance.
Store data of all operation for further use.
Improves efficiency, operation minimizing routine check or remote site.
Provide alarm system, use to diagnose the fault from central point and overcome the fault
in fast mode without damage the other equipment.
Visualization of all operation by graphical representation.
CMPONENTS OF SCADA
• A SCADA system usually consists of the following main
elements :
1) Human-Machine Interface
2) Supervisory System
3) Remote Terminal Units
4) Communication Infrastructure
5) SCADA Programming
6) Programmable Logic Controller (PLCs)
2) Supervisory (computer) system :- It gathers data on the process and sending commands (or
control) to the process.
3) Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) :- It connect to sensors in the process, converting sensor
signals to digital data and sending digital data to the supervisory system.
5) SCADA programming :- SCADA programming in a master or HMI is used for creating maps
and diagrams which will give an important situational information in case of an event failure or
process failure.
6) Programmable Logic Controller (PLCs) :- It is used as field devices because they are more
economical, versatile, flexible, and configurable than special-purpose RTUs.
