SCADA enables ENGINEERS, SUPERVISORS, MANAGERS & OPERATORS to view & interact with the workings of entire operations through GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION of their production process.
In other words SCADA can be explained as below: SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this data to a central computer which then manages and controls the data.
SCADA AS A SYSTEM
Programmable Logic Controller used as field devices because they are more economical, versatile, flexible, and configurable than special-purpose PLCs.
FEATURES OF SCADA
ALARMS have a very critical role in automation. Generally we have alarm states for each inputs/outputs. RECIPE MANAGEMENT When you have different products to manufacture, you just have to load the recipe of the particular product.
SECURITY You can allocate certain facilities or features to the operator, process people, engineering dept and maintenance dept. DEVICE CONNECTIVITY SCADA software should have connectivity to the different hardware used in automation
ADVANTAGES OF SCADA
Long distance monitoring Long distance training Protection against terrorism/vandalism-alarm Data management (engineering and operations) Automated operations with real time control
DISADVANTAGES
TROUBLED ALARMS LACK OF TRAINED PERSONS
CONCLUSION
SCADA is a control system with More interfaces and efficient storage More record or device oriented configuration But system wide configuration tools are needed finally various applications
