SCADA
A SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system is a hardware and software combination that enables remote monitoring and control of industrial processes. It collects real-time data from field devices, such as sensors and actuators, and displays it on a user interface (HMI) for operators to monitor and control the process.
Key Functions:
Monitoring:
SCADA systems continuously track various parameters of the process, like temperature, pressure, and flow rates.
Data Acquisition:
They gather data from field devices, often through Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and transmit it to a central server or control center.
Control:
Operators can use the HMI to interact with the system and remotely control the process by issuing commands to field devices.
Automation:
SCADA systems can automate certain tasks, like automatically adjusting parameters based on predefined rules or alarms.
Data Logging:
They record historical data for analysis and troubleshooting.
