"""SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system used to
monitor and control industrial processes and operations. It is a combination of
hardware and software components that gather and analyze real-time data from
various sources, such as sensors, meters, and other devices, in order to
provide supervision, control, and visualization of the entire process.

Key features of a SCADA system include:

1. Data Acquisition: SCADA systems collect data in real-time from different
   sources, such as sens

2. Graphical User Interface (GUI): SCADA systems provide a user-friendly
   interface, typically in the form of a graphical display, allowing operators
   to visualize the process, alarms, and data in a clear and intuitive manner.

3. Control and Automation: SCADA systems enable operators to remotely control
   and automate various aspects of the industrial process, such as
   opening/closing valves or adjusting setpoints, to optimize performance and
   ensure safety.

4. Alarming and Event Notification: SCADA systems generate alarms and
   notifications in response to abnormal conditions or events, such as
   equipment failure or deviations from set parameters, allowing operators to
   take appropriate actions.

5. Historical Data Logging and Reporting: SCADA systems store and archive
   historical data, enabling long-term analysis, trend identification, and
   reporting for performance evaluation, regulatory compliance, and
   decision-making purposes.

6. Remote Access and Monitoring: SCADA systems often support remote access,
   allowing authorized users to monitor and control the industrial process from
   anywhere, enhancing flexibility, efficiency, and troubleshooting capability.

7. Security and Authentication: SCADA systems implement security measures, such
   as authentication and user access controls, to protect against unauthorized
   access, data breaches, and cyber threats.
