"""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.
