General on the SCADA system

Dear PLC Technical members,

Hello and welcome to the Blog PLC Technical, In this article, we have presented the Generality on the SCADA system in detail and all necessary tools for its implementation.


General on the SCADA system

 I. Definition of the SCADA system


The SCADA is an acronym that stands for Control and Supervision by Acquisition data ( Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) which allows centralization of data, often semi-graphic presentation on workstations Piloting, It collects data from various devices of any the installation then transmits this data to a central computer, either nearby or remote, who then controls and supervises the installation.

This device is in many instances used to supervise water cure manner and distribution of handled water. It is additionally used in monitoring oil and gasoline pipelines, electrical electricity transmission, and distribution.

1. SCADA Architecture

Essential segments of the SCADA framework are:
  • RTU Remonte Unit
  • MTU Master Unit
  • Information transmission
  • Instrumentation

SCADA Architecture

1.1 RTU (Remonte Terminal Unit)  

SCADA, at the base, begins with remote terminal units (RTU) and programmable controllers PLCs. It is used to collect information from field instrumentation and transmit them to the MTU through communication. RTU can be used and replaced by programmable controllers PLC in case we want to control certain points of the system by a program because it is advantageous to write a program to order The system, unlike an RTU.

The SCADA machine involves some bodily gear like switches, pumps, and different gadgets that stay underneath the manipulate of RTU (Remote Terminal Units). Most of the controlling features in SCADA are carried out mechanically by way of the RTU.

The way of testing cautions begins offevolved at RTU following the transformation of came about examples to advanced signs. The assembled statistics is then formatted to assist manage room operators without problems override the digital alerts in the pc gadget and regulate them as required.

Operators can without difficulty take manipulate over the machine and regulate them following prerequisites such as loss of float and excessive temperature.

These days, RTUs or PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) is especially utilized in the SCADA framework. They assist to execute easy good judgment procedures besides the involvement of grasp computers.

IEC 61131-3, a helpful square programming language is utilized to improve applications that sudden spike in demand for RTUs or PLCs. To manipulate the language, a SCADA machine engineer requires minimal coaching and hence, can without problems raise out each sketch and implementation of the programs.

Now and again, electrical substation SCADA and RTUs use handle PC frameworks to talk with the PACs and various contraptions related to the SCADA framework.


1.2 MTU (Master Terminal Unit)

We can say that the central station has several stations (RTU) connected through various means of communication. Its role is to collect periodically field data from RTU stations and allows remote control and transmission of information to the operator via the HMI and send Operator to field instrumentation.

1.3 The Communication system between MTU and RTUs

The communication between MTU and the different RTU may be means of the internet, wireless network, cabling, etc.
SCADA surrounds a data transfer between the server (MTU, master terminal units) and one or more remote terminal units (terminal units RTUs) And between the server and the operator terminals.

1.4 Information transmission

RTUs in the field are associated together through a Network organization. Each RTU has an interesting location and the organization is associated with a modem. The transmission of information from RTUs to MTU can be through remote or wired utilizing explicit sorts of wires. The MTU unit contains the beneficiaries to translate the data at the HMI end.

1.5 Supervision in a SCADA environment

The SCADA system works by acquiring data from installation, These are displayed on a graphical interface under a language very close to Human Language, these operations are executed in real-time.

The SCADA provide operators with the maximum amount of information for a better decision, they allow a very high level of security for the and for the installation and also reduce the costs of
operations, the benefits of the SCADA are achieved through the combination of softs and hard tools.



From here we have finished the subject General on the SCADA system, if you like it, please share it with friends until it benefits, and then meet on a new topic on the blog PLC Technical.
