SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

A SCADA system is an automation system which is used to collect data, monitor performance and control a plant or equipment in a wide range of applications like: Electrical power distribution and generation plants Water management systems Manufacturing systems

SCADA
A typical Water SCADA application would be to monitor water levels at various water sources like reservoirs and tanks and when the water level exceeds a preset threshold, activate the system of pumps to move water to tanks with low water levels.

REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT

The Remote Terminal Units may consist of a programmable logic converter (PLC) or dedicated hardware unit with its CPU, Analog Input modules, Digital Input/ Output Modules. The RTUs and PLCs are responsible for data collection such as meter readings, equipment status etc and communicate back to the HMI Computer system.

REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT


The RTU operations include Scanning of inputs at a fast rate Processing such as change of state Time stamping of changes Storage of data awaiting polling from the SCADA master Some RTUs can initiate reporting to the SCADA master The RTU may do some alarm processing RTU respond to the simple request to read complete data Complex control function to be executed

Electronics Division

REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT


SCADA systems monitor and make slight changes to function optimally. SCADA systems are considered closed loop systems and run with relatively little human intervention The RTUs are usually set to specific requirements, however, most RTU allow human intervention, for instance, in a factory setting, the RTU might control the setting of a conveyer belt, and the speed can be changed or overridden at any time by human intervention for optimum performance In addition, any changes or errors are usually automatically logged for and/or displayed.

Electronics Division

REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT


SCADA systems implement a distributed database - tag database, which contains data elements called tags or points. A point represents a single input or output value monitored or controlled by the system. Points can be either "hard" or "soft". A hard point is representative of an actual input or output connected to the system, while a soft point represents the result of logic and math operations applied to other hard and soft points. Point values are normally stored as value-timestamp combinations; the value and the timestamp when the value was recorded or calculated. A series of value-timestamp combinations is the history of that point. It's also common to store additional information tags such as: path to field device and alarming information.

A SCADA system reports to human operators over a specialized computer that is variously called a master station - HMI (HumanMachine Interface) The HMI displays this information in an easily understood graphics form, archives the data received, transmits alarms and permits operator control as required. The HMI is a PC system running powerful graphic and alarm software programs. The collected data is usually viewed on one or more SCADA Host computers located at the central or master site. SCADA applications can monitor and control hundreds to hundreds of thousands of I/O points.

Wireless SCADA
Wireless SCADA is required in those applications when wired communications to the remote site is prohibitively expensive or it is too time consuming to construct wired communications. In particular types of industry like Oil & Gas or Water & Wastewater, wireless SCADA is often the only solution due to the remoteness of the sites. Wireless SCADA systems can be built on private radio (licensed or unlicensed), cellular or satellite communications; each of these has its unique set of characteristics as given in the Table.
