SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data
Acquisition)
INTRODUCTION
SCADA- This is software that control two or more PLCs
It is used for monitoring and controlling of Processes
which displayed graphically
The process/system/machinery you want to monitor a
control - this can be a power plant, a water system, a
network, a system of traffic lights, or anything else.
History
Egyptian supervisory
First half of the 20th century
Development from telemetry system
Weather predictions
Rail road tracks
Two way system
1960s idea for supervisory
1970s radio system
Why SCADA?
Saves Time and Money
Less traveling for workers (e.g. helicopter ride)
Reduces man-power needs
Increases production efficiency of a company
Cost effective for power systems
Saves energy
Reliable
Supervisory control over a particular system
What is SCADA?
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
Supervisory
Operator/s, engineer/s, supervisor/s, etc
Limited
Telemetry
Remote/Local
Data acquisition
Access and acquire information or data from the
equipment
Elements of SCADA
Sensors and actuators
RTUs/PLCs
Communication
MTU
Front End Processor
SCADA server
Historical/Redundant/Safety Server
HMI computer
HMI software
Types of sensors:
Pressure sensors
Temperature sensors
Humidity sensors
Wind speed sensors
Actuators
Valves
Pumps
RTUs Remote Terminal Unit
Intelligent to control a process and multiple processes
Data logging
Slave/Master device
PLC Programmable Logic Controller
Ladder logic
Industrial computer that replaced relays
Not a protocol converter
Communication compatibilities
Master Terminal Units (MTU)
It is a device that issues the commands to the Remote
stores the information, and process the information and
display the information in the form of pictures,
This is the operation of the Master Terminal Unit (MTU)
located in the control center.
Communication between the MTU and RTU is
bidirectional,

Human Machine Interface Computer(HMI)
Control the system
Operator Interface
Software
User friendly
Programmable (C, C++)

SCADA Advantages
Minimize Fault Response Time
Reduce Failures / Unplanned Downtimes
Reduce Operations Overhead
Reduce Manpower Requirement
Public Safety, Site Safety
SCADA Disadvantages
One disadvantage is that TCP/IP based SCADA systems
are (extremely)vulnerable to cyber terrorism attacks
SCADA application areas
SCADA control systems are available from
various manufacturers for different types of
equipment
Electric power generation, transmission and
distribution
Water and sewage
Buildings, facilities and environments
Manufacturing
Mass transit
Traffic signals
Hardware Architecture
Software Architecture
Difference of PLC & SCADA
PLC Programmable
logic controller
PURPOSE - Controlling
devices as per Ladder
diagram
Data storage is not
possible.
SCADA - Supervisory
control and data
acquisition
PURPOSE Easy to
control monitoring or
displaying data log.
Scada- Gather the
required information and
store at one place
Conclusion
There are thousands of SCADA systems installed and
they can be completely different from each other, in terms
of their structures but they all have common elements
and a common purpose to supervise control and collect
data.
Communication is the most significant part of SCADA
