SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA)

SUMBITTED BY: www.tricksworld.net.tc

WHAT IS SCADA
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this data to a central computer which then manages and controls the data.

WHAT IS DATA ACQUISITION

Data acquisition is the process of retrieving control information from the equipment which is out of order or may lead to some problem or when decisions are need to be taken according to the situation in the equipment. So this acquisition is done by continuous monitoring of the equipment to which it is employed. The data accessed are then forwarded onto a telemetry system ready for transfer to the different sites.

SCADA AS A SYSTEM

TYPICAL SCADA SYSTEM

SUBSYSTEMS OF SCADA SYSTEM

Human-Machine Interface is the apparatus which presents process data to a human operator, and through this, the human operator monitors and controls the process. Remote Terminal Units connecting to sensors in the process, converting sensor signals to digital data and sending digital data to the supervisory system.

Programmable Logic Controller used as field devices because they are more economical, versatile, flexible, and configurable than special-purpose RTUs. Communication infrastructure connecting the supervisory system to the Remote Terminal Units

FEATURES OF SCADA

REAL TIME AND HISTORICAL TREND

The trend play very important role in the process operation. If your batch fails or the plant trips, you can simply go to the historical trend data and do the analysis. You can have better look of the parameters through the trend.

ALARMS have a very critical role in automation. Generally we have alarm states for each inputs/outputs. . Most of the SCADA software support four types of alarms like LOLO,LO,HI and HIHI. RECIPE MANAGEMENT When you have different products to manufacture, you just have to load the recipe of the particular product.

SECURITY You can allocate certain facilities or features to the operator, process people, engineering dept and maintenance dept. DEVICE CONNECTIVITY SCADA software should have connectivity to the different hardware used in automation.

USEFULNESS OF SCADA

Production department Quality department Maintenance department Enterprise information Engineering department Manufacturing department

PRACTICAL USES OF SCADA

SCADA used as a control mechanism for chemical plants, electricity generation, electric power transmission, electricity distribution, district heating. Control mechanisms are described in Process Control.

ADVANTAGES

Cheaper Continuous operation Few operations control large number of individual assets Provide rapid response to emergencies reliable

CONCLUSION
SCADA is a control system with More interfaces and efficient storage More record or device oriented configuration But system wide configuration tools are needed Are less expensive than DCS, but offer different functionality than DCS And finally various applications
