What is SCADA?
SCADA in industries.
Without SCADA
SCADA: supervisory control and data
acquisition is a category of software
application program for process control, the
gathering of data in real time from remote
locations in order to control equipment and
conditions.
Where it is used?
SCADA system components
Supervisory computers
Human-machine interface
Remote Terminal Unit(RTUs)
Communication infrastructure
Remote Terminal Unit
A RTU is a microprocessor-controlled
electronic device that interfaces objects in the
physical world to SCADA system by
transmitting digital data to a master system,
and by using messages from the master
supervisory system to control connected
objects.
PARTS OF RTU
Power supply
Digital inputs
Analog inputs
Digital outputs
Analog outputs
Software and logic control
communications
Communication infrastructure
This connects the supervisory computer system
to the RTUs and may use industry standard
protocols. RTUs operate autonomously on the
near-real time control of the process, using the
last command given from the supervisory system.
Failure of the communications network does not
necessarily stop the plant process controls, and
on resumption of communications, the operator
can continue with monitoring and control.
Some critical systems will have dual redundant
data highways, often cabled via diverse routes.
