    SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems collect data from sensors in the field, transfer it back to a central location, analyze the data and display information to operators. Modern SCADA uses PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and DCS (Distributed Control Systems) connected via fieldbus networks to remotely monitor and control industrial processes and facilities. SCADA systems allow vast amounts of data from thousands of sensors over a wide area to be recorded, stored, displayed and monitored from a central location.

    SCADA

    (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)


    Background
     SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data
    Acquisition) has been around as long as there
    have been control systems. The first “SCADA”
    systems utilized data acquisition by means of
    panels of meters, lights and strip chart
    recorders.
     Supervisory control was exercised by the
    operator manually operating various control
    knobs. These devices were and still are used
    to do supervisory control and data acquisition
    on plants, factories and power generating
    facilities.
    Modern SCADA
     SCADA encompasses the collecting of the information,
    transferring it back to the central site, carrying out any
    necessary analysis and control and then displaying that
    information on a number of operator screens or
    displays.
     The required control actions are then conveyed back to
    the process.
     The PLC or Programmable Logic Controller is still one of
    the most widely used control systems in industry. As
    needs grew to monitor and control more devices in the
    plant, the PLCs were distributed and the systems
    became more intelligent and smaller in size. PLCs and
    DCS or (Distributed Control Systems) are used as
    shown below.

    Advantages of the PLC / DCS SCADA

     The computer can record and store a very large


    amount of data.
     The data can be displayed in any way the user
    requires.
     Thousands of sensors over a wide area can be
    connected to the system.
     The operator can incorporate real data
    simulations into the system.
     Many types of data can be collected from the
    RTUs.
     The data can be viewed from anywhere, not just
    on site.
    The disadvantages are:

     The system is more complicated than the


    sensor to panel type.
     Different operating skills are required, such as
    system analysts and programmer.
     With thousands of sensors there is still a lot of
    wire to deal with.
     The operator can see only as far as the PLC.
    SCADA Hardware

     A SCADA System consists of a number of Remote Terminal


    Units (or RTUs) collecting field data and sending that data
    back to a master station via a communications system.
    The master station displays the acquired data and also
    allows the operator to perform remote control tasks.
     On a more complex SCADA system there are essentially
    five levels or hierarchies:
     Field level instrumentation and control devices
     Marshaling terminals and RTUs
     Communications system
     The master station(s)
     The commercial data processing department computer
    system

    Conclusion
    There are typically five tasks in any SCADA system. Each of
    these tasks performs its own separate processing.
     Input/output Task. This program is the interface between
    the control and monitoring system and the plant floor.
     Alarm Task. This manages all alarms by detecting digital
    alarm points and comparing the values of analog alarm
    points to alarm thresholds.
     Trends Task. The trends task collects data to be monitored
    over time.
     Reports Task. Reports are produced from plant data. These
    reports can be periodic, event triggered or activated by the
    operator.
     Display Task. This manages all data to be monitored by the
    operator and all control actions requested by the operator.
