WHAT IS SCADA?

HOW A SCADA
SYSTEM WORKS

SCADA means Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It provides a supervisory layer that connects industrial equipment and controllers with operator visualization, alarms and historical information.

SCADA DATA FLOW

FROM SENSOR
TO OPERATOR

A typical SCADA system collects information from field equipment, passes it through controllers and networks, and presents the information to operators.

01 · DATA

Field Devices Measure

Sensors and instruments measure physical conditions such as temperature, pressure, level, flow, speed and status.

02 · CONTROL

PLC Processes Data

The PLC or RTU reads field signals, executes control logic and exposes selected values for supervisory monitoring.

03 · COMMUNICATION

Network Transfers Data

Industrial communication transfers values, states, alarms and commands between the controllers and SCADA system.

04 · SCADA

SCADA Receives Data

SCADA processes tags and presents the information through graphics, dashboards, alarms and trends.

05 · OPERATOR

Operator Monitors

Operators can see equipment status, process values, alarms and historical information.

06 · ACTION

Supervisory Action

Where the application permits it, authorized operators can issue supervisory commands or adjust configured setpoints.

CORE FUNCTIONS

WHAT A SCADA
SYSTEM PROVIDES

SCADA functionality should be selected according to the actual process, operator requirements and project scope.

01

Real-Time Monitoring

View machine status, process values, equipment conditions and operating parameters in real time.

02

Process Visualization

Create graphical process screens showing tanks, pumps, motors, valves, pipelines, machines and production systems.

03

Alarm Management

Detect abnormal conditions, display alarms, acknowledge events and maintain an alarm history.

04

Historical Data

Store selected process values and events so operators and engineers can review historical operating conditions.

05

Trends & Charts

Display live and historical trends for temperature, pressure, level, speed, production and other process values.

06

Reports

Generate operational information and reports from collected process and historical data.

SCADA VISUALIZATION

INDUSTRIAL
SCADA SCREENS

A SCADA interface normally combines process graphics, equipment status, alarms, trends and operational information.

Industrial monitoring dashboard concept

Monitoring Dashboard

Overview information helps operators quickly understand the current condition of a system.

Industrial control and technology system

Control Environment

SCADA can provide an operator environment for equipment status, process information and authorized supervisory actions.

Industrial HMI and automation interface

Operator Interface

Detailed screens can organize machines, process areas, alarms, trends and operating parameters.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

SCADA
ARCHITECTURE

A project architecture is selected according to the number of devices, tags, users, sites, required availability and data requirements.

01

Field Devices

Sensors, meters, switches, motors, drives, valves and instruments generate process information.

02

PLC / RTU

Controllers collect field data and execute the real-time control logic for machines and processes.

03

Industrial Network

Ethernet, Modbus, CAN and other industrial communication systems transfer information between devices.

04

SCADA Server

The SCADA system communicates with controllers, manages tags, alarms, historical data and application logic.

05

Operator Client

Operators use SCADA screens to monitor processes, acknowledge alarms, view trends and perform authorized supervisory actions.

06

Database / Historian

Historical process information can be stored for analysis, reporting, troubleshooting and operational review.

SCADA PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

HOW WE BUILD
A SCADA PROJECT

A well-defined SCADA project starts with the process and data requirements before screen development begins.

STEP 01

Site & Process Study

Understand the machine, production process, existing PLCs, instruments, operators and monitoring requirements.

STEP 02

I/O & Tag List

Define process variables, PLC addresses, equipment states, alarms, setpoints and required SCADA tags.

STEP 03

Communication Design

Select and configure the required communication method between PLCs, devices, servers and SCADA clients.

STEP 04

SCADA Architecture

Design the server, client, database, historian, network and security architecture around project requirements.

STEP 05

Screen Development

Develop overview, equipment, process, alarm, trend, settings and reporting screens for operators.

STEP 06

Testing & Commissioning

Test communication, tags, alarms, controls, trends, historical data and operator workflows before handover.

SCADA SCREENS

WHAT THE
OPERATOR SEES

Screen design should prioritize the information operators need to understand and operate the process effectively.

Plant Overview

A high-level view showing the complete plant or production system and major equipment status.

Process Screen
