The document describes a SCADA system for monitoring and controlling a water distribution system. A SCADA system consists of a master system that communicates with remote terminal units to gather data on parameters like pressure, temperature, and water density. This allows for optimized functioning of the water distribution system. SCADA systems are regularly implemented in water industries to improve maintenance and ensure reliable and secure water supply to customers. The document discusses SCADA basics, components, architecture, evolution, applications, and concludes that SCADA technology reduces errors caused by humans in industrial monitoring and control.
This document provides an overview of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. It defines SCADA and describes its typical components, including field instrumentation, remote stations, communication networks, and central monitoring systems. It also discusses telemetry, data acquisition, differences between SCADA and distributed control systems, common system configurations, communication modes, example applications, benefits, and limitations of SCADA systems. The document provides details on human-machine interfaces and interaction techniques used in SCADA.
This document describes a proposed system to automate urban drinking water supply and identify leaks using Programmable Logic Control (PLC) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). The system would minimize human error, reduce water wastage from leaks, theft and faults in pipes. Sensors would monitor water pressure and flows. PLCs would control pumps and valves locally, while a central SCADA system would allow remote monitoring and control. Data from sensors would be transmitted to the SCADA system via RTUs to identify leaks and optimize water distribution in real-time. This could help reduce supply costs and more efficiently match demand with a scarce water supply in urban areas of India.
SCADA systems monitor and control industrial processes, infrastructure, and facilities. They consist of human-machine interfaces, supervisory computers, remote terminal units that connect to sensors, and communication infrastructure. While SCADA systems have evolved to incorporate standard protocols and networking, their widespread implementation and connections to other systems have introduced new security vulnerabilities that could disrupt critical infrastructure if exploited.
This document provides an overview of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems.

SCADA systems are control system architectures used in industrial and infrastructural processes that use networked communications and GUIs for high-level process supervision and management. They implement distributed databases containing tags or points throughout the plant that represent input or output values monitored and controlled by the centralized SCADA system. Programmable logic controllers and remote terminal units connect to sensors and actuators in the process and are networked to the supervisory computer system. SCADA systems have evolved from early monolithic systems using minicomputers to modern distributed and networked systems that can leverage cloud computing and internet of things technologies. Security of SCADA systems is important as compromise could impact dependent infrastructure, though older systems were not designed with modern cybersecurity challenges
This document provides details about Anurag Kumar's summer training project on SCADA/DMS systems at PESU in Patna, Bihar, India. It includes an acknowledgments section thanking those who supported the project. The objectives are to understand the SCADA/DMS system installed at PESU, visit the IGIMS power substation, and study the master billing and customer care systems. The document then provides overview sections on SCADA, DMS, remote terminal units, networking systems, and the human-machine interface. Specific components of the SCADA/DMS package at PESU are also described.
SCADA systems are used to monitor and control geographically dispersed industrial processes. A SCADA system consists of field devices like PLCs and RTUs that connect to sensors and convert signals to digital data. This data is communicated to a control center via telemetry where it is processed by a data acquisition server and presented to human operators through an HMI. The system allows operators to monitor and control the industrial process. SCADA has evolved from early monolithic centralized systems to modern distributed and networked systems that utilize open standards and protocols to distribute functionality across a wide area network. SCADA is commonly used in applications like power generation, water treatment, oil and gas pipelines, and more.
