SACADA
Other names: data collection and supervision system
SCADA (administrative and data collection system) is a centralized system for collecting information and data, which has its own hardware and software and is used for the following:
Industrial process control on site or remotely
Monitoring, collecting and processing data simultaneously
Interaction with tools such as sensors, valves, pumps, motors, etc., through HMI software.
Record data and events in files
SCADA system (system of administration and data collection) is essential for industrial use, because it helps to maintain productivity, data processing and communication systems for better organizational decisions.
The basis of the SCADA system (supervisory and data collection system) is PLC or RTU. These two are computer equipments that are connected with machines, sensors, HMI and other machines and transfer the data related to these equipments to SCADA (supervision and data collection system). SCADA software then processes, distributes and displays the data, thereby helping users and other people working in the system to analyze the data and reach practical decisions.
