2. • When it comes to data collection and
monitoring, SCADA (supervisory control and
data acquisition) is the solution.
• The industry encompassing myriad segments
banks upon SCADA today for automation of
multiple industrial tasks.
• In short, SCADA is the lifeline, the soul of
industrial automation, facilitating the smooth
running of business and maximizing profits.

3. • Uninterrupted control of your applications and
processes and maximizing the power of your
information is easy with SCADA.
• It controls large-scale processes that may
encompass large distances and multiple sites.
Besides industrial and infrastructure processes.
• SCADA is also incorporated in private and public
facilities (buildings and entire premises spread
over large areas) to monitor and control energy
consumption and automate electrical activities.

4. The following functions of SCADA make it a mustincorporated process in industrial automation:
•
•
•
•
•
Acquisition of data
Collection, storage, and retrieval of data
Monitoring of events, status, limits, and trends
Control of instructions and commands
Provision for human operators to watch the process
monitored and controlled and intervene as and when
necessary; in short termed as Human-machine
interface (HMI)
• Electrical communication between MTU and RTUs;
between RTUs and field devices
• Calculations in RTUs and MTU
• Generation of reports on the basis of data collected
and stored

5. • PLCs and RTUs perform
most control functions
automatically in a SCADA
system
• When installing the SCADA,
consider key issues related
to system.
• Avail services from the
right industrial automation
solutions provider.
