SCADA- Features, Application, Working and Career Scope

SCADA allows for real-time plant information to be accessed from anywhere around the world. SCADA has important role on automation project. SCADA has huge scope in all types of industries. The entire automation field is heavily reliant on them in an industrial setup.

WHAT IS SCADA

SCADA or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition is a system that aims to monitor and control field devices at remote sites. It uses a type of process control system architecture that uses computer and networked data communications. It can communicate with other devices to interact with industrial process plants and equipment. SCADA systems are crucial for industrial organizations because they help to maintain efficiency and process data for smarter decisions. This system is almost everywhere this including industrial plants, manufacturing, transportation, water control and power distribution. The basic SCADA architecture begins with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or RTUs. The software processes distributes, and displays the data, helping operators and other employees analyze the data. SCADA systems are used by industrial organizations and companies in the public and private sectors.
