4. It is possible to obtain real data simulations with the help of operators.
5. Many types of data can be gathered from RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) connected with
the master unit.
6. It is fast in obtaining response.
7. It is scalable and flexible in adding additional resources.

Disadvantages
1. PLC based SCADA system is complex in terms of hardware units and dependent
modules.
2. As the system is complex, it requires skilled operators, analysts and programmers to
maintain SCADA system.
3. Installation costs are higher.
4. The system increases unemployment rates.
5. The system supports use of restricted software and hardware equipment.
