SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND

DATA ACQUISITION(SCADA)
 WHAT IS SCADA
• SCADA stands for Supervisory Control
And Data Acquisition.
• 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.
WHAT IS DATA ACQUISITION
Data acquisition is the process of retrieving
control information from the equipment
which is out of order or may lead to some
problem or when decisions are need to be
taken according to the situation in the
equipment. So this acquisition is done by
continuous monitoring of the equipment to
which it is employed. The data accessed
are then forwarded onto a telemetry system
ready for transfer to the different sites.
HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
 SUBSYSTEMS OF SCADA
SYSTEM
• Human-Machine Interface is the
apparatus which presents process data to a
human operator, and through this, the
human operator monitors and controls the
process.
• Remote Terminal Units connecting to
sensors in the process, converting sensor
signals to digital data and sending digital
data to the supervisory system.
• Programmable Logic Controller used as
field devices because they are more
economical, versatile, flexible, and
configurable than special-purpose RTUs.
• Communication infrastructure
connecting the supervisory system to the
Remote Terminal Units

 FEATURES OF SCADA
• REAL TIME AND HISTORICAL TREND

The trend play very important role in the process

operation. If your batch fails or the plant trips, you
can simply go to the historical trend data and do the
analysis. You can have better look of the parameters
through the trend.
• ALARMS
• have a very critical role in automation.
Generally we have alarm states for each
inputs/outputs. . Most of the SCADA
software support four types of alarms like
LOLO,LO,HI and HIHI.
• 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.
 USEFULNESS OF SCADA
• Production department
• Quality department
• Maintenance department
• Enterprise information
• Engineering department
• Manufacturing department
PRACTICAL USES OF SCADA
• SCADA used as a control mechanism for
chemical plants, electricity generation,
electric power transmission, electricity
distribution, district heating.
• Control mechanisms are described in
Process Control.

SOFTWARE
• Easy-to-use, easy to implement
• Easy configuration, simplified maintenance
• High security and availability
• Virtually unlimited scalability
 BENEFITS OF SCADA
• Long distance monitoring
• Long distance training
• Protection against terrorism/vandalism-
alarm
• Data management (engineering and
operations)
• Automated operations with real time
control
 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
• ● Are less expensive than DCS, but offer
different functionality than DCS
• ● And finally various applications
