Introduction to SCADA

Click to edit Master title styleDefinition of SCADA

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

a computer system for gathering and analyzing real time data.

Used to monitor and control a plant or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining and transportation.

Source: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/SCADA.html

Click to edit Master title styleDefinition of SCADA

A SCADA system gathers information, such as where a leak on a pipeline has occurred, transfers the information back to a central site, alerting the home station that the leak has occurred, carrying out necessary analysis and control, such as determining if the leak is critical, and displaying the information in a logical and organized fashion.

Can be relatively simple

such as one that monitors environmental conditions of a small office building

or complex

such as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant or the activity of a municipal water system.

2. Pens: A Process Analyst pen represents your trend and/or alarm data. The Process Analyst supports three types of pen: analog, digital, and alarm pen.

7. Cursor: A cursor allows an Operator to determine value at a given point in time by dragging the cursor line to the point required.

3. Panes: Panes are used to group pens visually in the Process Analyst and are stacked vertically on the Process Analyst display.

8. Cursor labels: Display the value where the cursor intersects the trend value line

4. Chart background: The panes are drawn over the chart background. Depending on the layout of the pens, the background may be partially visible

9. Navigation toolbar: Contains commands to allow an Operator to travel forward or backward through trends, as well as other navigation-related tasks.

5. Date/time axis: Located at the top of a pane, the date/time axis displays the date or time (or both) of the data for the primary selected pen within a pane
