SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are automation systems used for remote access and control of industrial parts.
Technically, SCADA systems can be produced as an industrial measurement and control system consisting of a central main server, operating in one or more field data collection and control units, or a combination of standard and special software used for remote access and control of devices and data elements. In this context, SCADA software basically carries out monitoring, control, data collection, data recording and storage functions. As can be understood from its English acronym, “Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition” is not a complete control system; However, it is the focus of control.
SCADA systems are actively used in many places in the industry today. Parts of these are areas such as energy management, natural quality management, transportation and manufacturing industry, clean water and wastewater management, which are also closely related to our daily lives. SCADA systems are high-tech and engineering solutions that are of great importance today for efficiency and sustainability.
Automation is a key role played by SCADA systems used to monitor, control and distribute expanding systems, increasing the expansion of operations, slowing down costs and optimizing production processes.
1. Human-Machine Interface (HMI): Allows operators to interact with the system.
2. Remote Terminal Unit (RTU): Collects data from field devices, processes it and transmits it to the main controllers.
3. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC): Computer-controlled device that processes data with programmable logic instructions.
