What is SCADA? | Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

🎥 Automation engineers look forward to using a control system that reduces overhead expenses, streamlines operations, and mitigates system errors. That’s why in today’s world, most industrial enterprises rely on a Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition, known as a SCADA system.

💬 Video Summary:

SCADA is made up of both software and hardware elements to create a control system used for industrial automation. It is a centralized system that allows you to keep an eye on a variety of equipment that provides information about particular processes that have become complex for humans to manage.

Where you need to visualize real-time data on connected equipment located across a plant, SCADA is needed

SCADA is required where you need a safe environment and want the measurement parameters to be within specific ranges to avoid harmful circumstances.

Where you want to supervise and control numerous industrial sites while you don’t have sufficient personnel to cover them, SCADA is needed.

SCADA is a suitable solution for remote operating capability.

Level 0 includes field devices, such as sensors that recognize operations inputs and actuators that control operations mechanisms.

Level 1 includes field controllers such as Remote Terminal Unit or RTU and Programmable Logic Controller or PLC.

Level 2 contains a control center, including a SCADA server alongside SQL database, mobile HMI, and supervisory computer.

The SCADA function can be divided into four categories:
1. Data acquisition
2. Data communication
3. Data presentation
4. Control

Since the processing time in the SCADA system is almost fast, it is suitable for time-sensitive processes.

If security is a priority, then the SCADA system is not a suggested solution

The SCADA system can anticipate possible failures before they happen and send out immediate warnings to the responsible personnel to fix the issue before it causes serious problems.

Sometimes, multiple servers are arranged in a dual-redundant configuration to enhance the system integrity.
