SCADA (PART 1)

Basic SCADA

Only use RTU/PLC

Only 1 MTU is used

Room temperature control and water level control

car manufacturing robots

Intergrated SCADA

Only consists of several PLC/RTUs to several DCSs using only 1 MTU

MTU is connected to the computer using LAN, WAN and internet

Examples are water systems, subway systems and security systems

Networked SCADA

More than 1 MTU connected to each other and 1 MTU will act as a coordinator

MTU center connects with the outside using LAN, WAN and the Internet.

Examples are Power Systems and Communication Systems.

Introduction

system that monitors and controls field devices

Scada can also help maintain efficiency by collecting and processing data

Modern SCADA uses a computer to show the status of sensors and actuators

Typical SCADA system consists of an RTU connected to a process transmitter and a final control element, performing basic control functions

These RTU devices communicate digitally to the MTU at a central location

RTU stands for Remote Terminal Unit

SCADA communication architecture is based on Master terminology

Supervisory control and data acquisition.

Known as Remote Telemetry Unit or Remote Telecontrol Unit.

A RTU is a microprocessor based device that monitors and controls field devices

SCADA is divided into 3

Networked SCADA

Basic SCADA

Integrated SCADA

SCADA is divided into 5 encompasses

displaying information

carrying out

collecting

transferring

control and manipulate

Minimum instruments monitored by SCADA are

alarm

lamps

analog meter

5 SCADA elements

Human Machine Interface (HMI)

Master Terminal Unit (MTU)
