SCADA or supervisory control and data acquisition is basically a computer or automation system for gathering & analyzing real time data. Its main purpose is to monitor & control a plant or equipment in various industries such as telecommunications, energy, oil and gas refining, water & waste control, and transportation. It facilitates end users to directly interact with devices for instance valves, sensors, pumps, and motors through human‐machine interface (HMI) software, and record measures into a log file.
Some of the essential features of SCADA are intelligent alarming, scripts, networking, recipe management, security, dynamic representation, trends, device connectivity and database connectivity. Additionally, key benefits are included improve product quality, reliability & robustness, integrate with business systems, reduce operating & maintenance costs and maximize productivity.
