SCADA Solution

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) refers to an extensive distributed measurement and control system. A SCADA solution, therefore, is a system that has been developed to monitor and control a plant or equipment.

SCADA SCADA Solutions Collect Data in Real-Time
A SCADA solution provides a user with data acquisition, networked data communication, data presentation, and control. These processes are enabled by real-time data collection. The components that collect and transmit this data across equipment are the sensors, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), SCADA master units, and the communication network.

Monitoring functions are a component of any SCADA solution, while control functions may only be found in more advanced systems. A SCADA solution monitors its network by collecting data from sensors across the network. The input and output values generated by these sensors are sent to the RTU. The RTU is able to communicate the signals to the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) or alarm master, which then translates the data and alarms into a human readable form.

Almost Any Industry Can Utilize a SCADA Solution
These systems allow operators to easily view their network alarms in one comprehensive window, making a SCADA solution a powerful tool for network monitoring. These systems can be used to manage any type of equipment, and can be useful in almost any industry. This includes industries that commonly deploy SCADA solutions, such as the water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining, transportation, and telecommunications industries.
