Description
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. SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that
monitors environmental conditions of a small office building, or incredibly complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity
in a nuclear power plant or the activity of a municipal water system.
Audience
Control and instrumentation engineers; industrial system integrators; students taking electronics or computing degree courses; electrical,
mechanical and chemical engineers and technicians wishing to understand the essentials of modern SCADA systems.
