SCADA System Concept

The term SCADA usually refers

to centralized systems which monitor and control entire sites, or
complexes of systems spread out over large areas (anything between
an industrial plant and a country)

SCADA Basics
Before discussing about the architecture of
SCADA and different types of SCADA systems, primarily we must
know a few SCADA basics. Consider the block diagram of SCADA
system shown in the figure which consists of different blocks, namely
Human-machine Interface (HMI), Supervisory system, Remote
terminal units, PLCs, Communication infrastructure and SCADA
Programming

 Architecture of SCADA
 The SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition)
systems are different from distributed control systems
that are commonly found in plant sites.
 When distributed control systems cover the plant site,
SCADA system cover much larger geographic areas.
 The figure depicts an integrated SCADA architecture
which supports TCP/IP, UDP and other IP based
communication
 protocols as well as industrial protocols like Modbus
TCP, Modbus over TCP or Modbus over UDP.
 These all work over cellular, private radio or satellite
networks.

 The choice of the existing communication depends on
the characterization of a number of factors.
 These factors impact the final decision for SCADA
architecture.
 Therefore, a review of SCADA systems evolution allows
us to better understand many security concerns.

Types of SCADA Systems

 First Generation: Monolithic or Early SCADA systems,
 Second Generation: Distributed SCADA systems,
 Third Generation: Networked SCADA systems and
 Fourth Generation: Internet of things technology, SCADA
systems

Applications
 Manufacturing Industries
 Waste Water Treatment
and Distribution Plants
 SCADA in Power System

Conclusion
Monitoring and controlling
of multiple operations in maximum number
of industries are being automatically
controlled by most advanced SCADA
technology implementations.it reduced error
caused by Humans.
