Introduction to SCADA

Click to edit Master title style Definition of SCADA

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
a computer system for gathering and analyzing real time data.

Used to monitor and control a plant or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining and transportation.

Source: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/SCADA.html

Click to edit Master title style Definition of SCADA

A SCADA system gathers information, such as where a leak on a pipeline has occurred, transfers the information back to a central site, alerting the home station that the leak has occurred, carrying out necessary analysis and control, such as determining if the leak is critical, and displaying the information in a logical and organized fashion.

Can be relatively simple

such as one that monitors environmental conditions of a small office building

or complex
such as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant or the activity of a municipal water system.

Date/time axis: Located at the top of a pane, the date/time axis displays the date or time (or both) of the data for the primary selected pen within a pane

6. Vertical axis: Analog pens have a vertical axis on the left-hand side of the pane to indicate data values. 7. Cursor: A cursor allows an Operator to determine value at a given point in time by dragging the cursor line to the point required. 8. Cursor labels: Display the value where the cursor intersects the trend value line

9. Navigation toolbar: Contains commands to allow an Operator to travel forward or backward through trends, as well as other navigation-related tasks. 10. Object View: When displayed, the Object View appears under the navigation toolbar and displays information about your Process Analyst pens.
