SCADA

SCADA
• SCADA is an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.

• It is a graphical and designing software with help of which we can

control any industrial process.
• For ex :-In the case of the transmission and distribution elements of
electrical utilities, SCADA  will monitor substations, transformers
and other electrical assets.
• Scada act as interface between human & machine or process.
Some examples of SCADA are :-
• RsView 32 by Allen Bradley
• Citech by Schneider-electric
• Intouch by Wonderware
• Wincc by Siemens

Tag :- Tags are the memory location inside SCADA where data is
stored in the form of analog , digital , and string.
Types of Tag :-
1. Memory Tag
2. Device Tag
 TYPES OF SCADA

There are two types of SCADA :-

1. Tag based SCADA
2. Display based SCADA
• Tag based SCADA :- In this tags are limited but display is unlimited.
For ex- Intouch

• Display based SCADA :- In this display is unlimited but tags are unlimited.
For ex-RsView 32
 PROPERTY OF SCADA

1. Slider
2. Location
3. Visibility
4. Percentage fill
5. Orientation
 FEATURES OF SCADA

• Device Connectivity :- It can be connected to kind of automation hardware(i.e. Plc).

like wonderware has connectivity to almost all kind of hardware.
• Real Time and Historical Trend :- That is if a batch fails or plant trips, you can go to the
historical trend data and do the analysis.
• Script :- It is advance feature with the help of which user can customize according to
their need.
• Security :- With help of this a person can only operates the application but not able to
change the application.
• Recipe Management :- when industry has different product to manufacture , then they
just load the recipe of that particular product.
• Alarms :- It indicate the operator when the process is stop or start malfunctioning.
• Dynamic process graphic
• Database connectivity
 BENEFITS OF SCADA

• Reduce the time consumption.

• Reduce human resource consumption.
• Increase the product/project revenue.
• Greater accessibility (remotely).
• Instantaneous alert on alarm.
• Easy user interface for interaction.
• Organized data records and report generation automatically.
• Automated calculation.
 DRAWBACKS OF SCADA

• Installation costs are higher.

• The system increase unemployment rates.
• SCADA system are complex.
• As it is complex ,it require skilled operators, analyst and programmers to
maintain SCADA.
• It support restricted software and hardware.
Here are a few of the most common uses for SCADA systems :-
• Manufacturing
• Food production
• Electric and gas utilities
• Waste water treatment
• Telecom and information technology
