SCADA

SUPRVISORY CONTROL
AND
DATA ACQUISITION
What is SCADA?
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
Why SCADA?
 Previously without SCADA an industrial process was entirely
controlled by PLC, CNC , PID & micro controllers having programmed
in certain languages or codes.

 These codes were either written in assembly language or relay logic


without any true animation that would explain the process running.

 It is always easy to understand the status of the process if it is shown


with some animations rather then written codes.

 Hence SCADA software came to existence and with some exclusive


features it became internal part of automation system.

 SCADA related to industrial process is called industrial SCADA


SCADA
Now a days, the control systems are always coupled with
Man Machine Interface or Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition Software, this is bacause SCADA provide a
complete pictorial overview of the entire plants process
with necessary monitoring and control facilities at a
central location.
SCADA
 It works like a supervisor who supervises the entire plant
area , it also controls the process as well as it converts the
data segments for storing process values i.e. level , pressure ,
switch positions , density , temperature, messages , etc.
 From a distant place if we want to run the process i.e. starting ,
stopping , opening and closing of field instruments as well as
logging the various values. SCADA can do for you.
 SCADA software is to be connected to PLC / PID / DCS
systems which in turn are connected to field instruments.
SCADA
 Hazardous areas , unhygienic places , hilly areas and sea beds
where a person can’t be send regularly but process has to be
watched continuously or it should be controlled then it can be
done using SCADA.

 Without going to field area if one wants to reset alarms or wants


to log a data for a period of time or wants to know status of
various units of his company then SCADA is the best option.
Features of typical SCADA software include,
 Dynamic process graphic
 Real-time and Historical trending
 Alarms
 Recipe Manager
 Security
 Device connectivity
 Script for logic developments
 Database connectivity
 Networking
Dynamic Process Graphics
 Using this feature, one can develop graphics which
can resemble the plants.

 The graphics can include Reactors, valves, pumps,


agitators conveyors as well as other equipments and
machinery used in the plant.

 The status of the equipments running/stopping can


be shown using different colors/animation.

 Typically the SCADA software will have many ready


to use symbols for proper representation which can
be used in any type of industry.
Real-time & historical Trends
 This facility is used for representing the data in graphical
form.
 Typically the treands plots the value with reference to the
time .
 Real-time data will plot the real-time value for fixed
period of time while historical data will have historical
data stored value which can be viewed on demand.
 Depending upon the storing capacity of the hard-disk one
can specify the no. Of day the data can be stored.
 Some SCADA software show real-time and historical
trends in single graphics while fewrs use separate tools.
Alarms
 Every plant needs proper monitoring and control of the
process parameters.
 Alarms represent warning of process conditions that could
causes problems, and require an operator response.
 Generally alarms are implemented by using the lamps or
hooters in field but in SCADA it can be represented using
animation .
 In many SCADA software, four type of alarms limits are
used ie HI, HIHI, LO, LOLO.
Recipe Management
 In many cases we use the same plant for manufacturing
different product range. For example an oil blending plant
can manufacture power oil, transformation ,automobile oil.
 The recipe management is facility used for maintain various
recipes of different products and implement it on the
process.
 The recipe can be stored in a single server and it can be
fetched by any client server from any area to run the
process.
Security
 Every SCADA software has various levels of security for
securing the the application by avoiding unauthorised
access.
 Depending upon the access level given the
operator/engineers is allowed to do the task. In most of the
cases, operators are allowed only to operate the plant while
maintenance engineers can do the application modifications.
 The security can be given for individual as well as for
groups.
Device Connectivity
 Every control hardware has its own communication
protocol for communication with different
hardware/software. Some of the leading communication
protocol include Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet, DH+,DH
485, Devicenet, Control net.
 The SCADA software needs device driver software for
communication with PLC or other control hardware.
 More the driver software available better is the device
connectivity. Most of the SCADA software used in the
industry have connectivity with most of the leading
control system.
Database Connectivity

 In many plants, it is important to download the real-time

information to the MIS. In this case the database


connectivity is must.

 Many SCADA sotfware don’t have their own database.

Hence for storage and reporting they use third party


database like MS Access or SQL.
Scripts
 Script is a way of writing logic in SCADA software.

Every SCADA software has its own instruction and way


of writing program.
 Using scripts, one can develop complex applications. You

can create your own funcations to suit the process


requirement execution.
 Various types of scripts make project execution simpler

for programmer.
Networking
 In many application, we have to use more than one

SCADA software / operator stations. This can be


achieved by taking the SCADA node on network.
 In many cases Ethernet TCP / IP is commonly used

for networking.
 In certain cases the SCADA software use propriety

networking protocols for networking.


Type of SCADA software and Licensing
 Typically the SCADA software are sold with
 functionality ie Development and Runtime or
Runtime only
 No. Of tags supported

 Some of the SCADA software use Hardware Lock


( hardware key to be attached on parallel port), while
other use software license ie software key to be
installed on the hard disk.
Industry Capabilities
Local control stations (OI and HMI)
 To start with the SCADA software were used for
monitor and controlling the parameters locally.
Advanced Network Arrangement
 The latest advancement in the SCADA technology
includes the data monitoring on wide area network
using modems, Ethernet TCP/IP as well as GPS system.
Some of the leading SCADA software

 Wonderware : InTouch
 Intellution : iFix (Earlier Fix DMACS)
 Allen Bradley : RS View (Earlier Control View)
 Simens : WinCC (Earlier Coros LS / B)
 GE Fanuc : Cimplicity
 Indusoft : I W S
 Movicon : Progea
Typical Industry Application
 Apart from manufacturing process, SCADA software
are being used very effectively in water supply and
management. The functionality includes.
Typical Industry Application
