Actuator

Automatic control is applied in local

control loops
Loop: acquire data from
process/objects via sensors to PLC
CPU. PLC realizes defined control

Typical tasks in SCADA systems

Input/output task
This program is the interface between the control and
monitoring system and the plant floor.
Alarm task
This manages all alarms by detecting digital alarm points and
comparing the values of analog alarm points to alarm
thresholds.
Trends task
The trends task collects data to be monitored over time.
Reports task
Reports are produced from plant data. These reports can be
periodic, event triggered or activated by the operator.
Display task
This manages all data to be monitored by the operator and all
control actions requested by the operator.

SCADA vs. DCS

Truong Dinh Chau | Dept. of Control & Automation, Ho Chi Minh City Univ. of Tech.

SCADA vs. DCS

1. DCS is process oriented, while SCADA is data acquisition
oriented.
2. DCS is process state driven, while SCADA is event driven.
3. DCS is commonly used to handle operations on a single
locale, while SCADA is preferred for applications that are
spread over a wide geographic location.
4. DCS operator stations are always connected to its I/O, while
SCADA is expected to operate despite failure of field
communications.
