SCADA systems is real-time monitoring and control
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is an essential industrial automation system used to monitor, control, and optimize processes across critical infrastructure and industrial operations. It plays a vital role in industries such as power generation, oil and gas, water and wastewater management, manufacturing, transportation, and utilities. At its core, a SCADA system collects real-time data from field devices and enables operators to make informed decisions through centralized control systems. These field devices include sensors, actuators, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), which are installed at remote locations to measure variables such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, voltage, and equipment status. A typical SCADA architecture consists of four main components. The first is field instrumentation , which includes sensors and devices that gather data from physical processes. The second component is RTUs and PLCs , responsible for...
