SUPERVISORY CONTROL
AND DATA ACQUISITION
SCADA
 Basically consists of data accessing feature and controlling

process remotely.
 Conversion of data is possible i.e. analog to digital and vice

versa.
 Can communicate to any of the protocols available in market.
 Completely rely on window based operating systems
 Distance as such doesn’t hamper SCADA operation.
 SCADA is not dedicated to any one type of application or

industry.
Why SCADA?
Previously without SCADA an industrial process was entirely controlled by PLC,

CNC , PID & micro controllers having programmed in certain languages or codes.
These codes were either written in assembly language or relay logic without any
true animation that would explain the process running.
What is SCADA?
 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

 Supervisory
 Operator/s, engineer/s, supervisor/s, etc
 Control
 Monitoring
 Limited
 Telemetry
 Remote/Local
 Data acquisition
 Access and acquire information or data from the
equipment
 Sends it to different sites through telemetry
 Analog / Digital

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

SCADA
Now we can easily understand the process if it is shown with

some animations rather then written codes.
Hence SCADA came to exist and with it some exclusive features
added industrial process.
SCADA related to industrial process is called industrial SCADA.
SCADA
It works like a supervisor who supervises the entire plant area ,if needed it also
controls the process as well as it converts the data segments for storing process
values i.e. level , pressure , switch positions , density , temperature, messages ,
etc.
From a distant place if we want to run the process i.e. starting , stopping ,
opening and closing of field instruments as well as logging the various values.
SCADA can do for you.
SCADA is not a 100% controller it is just a software which has to be linked with
controllers. ultimately it is to be connected to PLC / PID / DCS systems which in
turn are connected to field instruments.
How is SCADA connected
o SCADA is installed in the computers and through serial port it is

linked to PLC .
o All the field devices are connected to PLC and they get signals from
PLC.
o Whatever applications we want to run can be executed either
through PLC or SCADA.
SCADA
Hazardous areas , unhygienic places , hilly areas and sea beds where a person
can’t be send regularly but process has to be watched continuously or it should
be controlled then it can be done using SCADA.
Without going to field area if one wants to reset alarms or wants to log a data for
a period of time or wants to know status of various units of his company then
SCADA is the best option.
Features of SCADA
• Dynamic representation
• Database connectivity
• Device connectivity
• Alarms
• Trends
• Scripts
• Security
• Recipe Management
• Networking
DYNAMIC REPRESENTATION
• This feature explains about the representation of various symbols of field

instruments which are present in tool library which can be utilized in SCADA
applications.
• SCADA is not dedicated to any specific industry hence its library is so large that
you can use it for any industries available.
DATABASE CONNECTIVITY
• SCADA doesn’t have its own database just like Microsoft. Hence for
storage it depends on databases available in the market.
• It can be connected to VB ,SQL,EXCEL or SAP.
DEVICE CONNECTIVITY
SCADA is not a 100% controller i.e. It alone can’t run process. It can
be connected to any PLC or DCS.
Hence any PLC or DCS that are available in the market by using
specific driver software it can be connected.
ALARMS
• In the field area alarms are generated for warnings or to keep the process
between certain limits.
• Generally alarms are implemented by indicating lamps or Hooters in field but
SCADA represents it with a format.
• The format consists of date , time , status , priorities , many such elements
which can be used for generation of reports.
TRENDS
These are also called as XY plotters or Data loggers. Basically it represents the
values in wave formats .It is one of the important feature of SCADA.
It plots the value with reference to time.
Trend is subdivided into real time and historical trends. i.e. we can see the
present values of the process as well past values and can be stored and records
can be maintained for the same.
SCRIPTS
It is the combination of logical operators which are written in a statement.

It is used to run the applications made or stimulate before final execution.
Various types of scripts make project execution simpler for programmer.
SECURITY
Every application has to be secured from unauthorized users by different security

levels .
In SCADA this security can be given as a whole as well as individually.

RECIPE MANAGEMENT
One of the finest feature of any SCADA .

It explains that we can maintain various recipes of different process and
implement it on the process.
All the recipes are stored in a single server and it can be fetched by any client
server from any area to run the process.
For Example, let’s say the industry is manufacturing a Tea powder, coffee powder,
and, Milk powder. They have a set of materials in Silo or containers and each
product requires a different amount of each material that is to be mixed together
in a mixer.
NETWORKING
It explains we can share SCADA applications on LAN or Internet as well exchange
of data is possible.
Many Networking protocols are supported by SCADA software.
SCADA can be put on networking with other peripherals and processors with
various networking topologies.
COST ANALYSIS
Cost of SCADA is decided by two factors. Number of tags and packages.

Packages are DRN and RN
DRN stands for development ,runtime & networking.
RN stands for run and networking.
TAGNAMES & TAGTYPES
• Every symbol used in software has to be specified name .

• The logical name given to any symbol is said to be tag name.
• Tag types defines the symbol category. It may be discrete & analog.
SCADA Applications
CHEMICAL PROCESS
SCADA
GAS & WATER PIPELINE
LAKE FILTER
RESERVIOR MANAGEMENT
• Introduction of (SCADA) System tutorial. scada stands for super visory control and data
acquisition.Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture that uses
computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory
management, but uses other peripheral devices such as programmable logic controllers and discrete PID
controllers

• SCADA intouch object animation advanced tutorial. In this video, we will make different animations of
objects: size, position, rotation, perspective. Using the same tag that we will assign to a Slider. In this way
when we go varying the value of the slider all the objects will make their respective animations
