PROGRESS IS SOMETIMES GOOD
Supervisory Control What does SCADA mean? And Data Acquisition
SCADA started in the early 70s SCADA is used in all types of utilities Early SCADA was for IT types only SCADA evolved to be used by modern day operator When was SCADA first used?
Monitor vs. Control MONITOR CONTROL Visual ON and OFF with a click Alarm notifications Emergency control when distance is factor 24-hour SURVEILLANCE Comes with responsibility
Best Practices RELATIONSHIPS SCADA works best when there is a working relationship between SCADA user & IT department KNOWLEDGE Know your system limits GOALS What are you wanting to achieve? PEOPLE Who will have access?
1 2 3 Operators are in touch with their plants Operators understand how it lives and breathes Operators can be reluctant to change / Understanding Your System
Analog & Digital ANALOG DIGITAL Give an example of something analog Give an example of something digital
Give an example of how PLC functions within a SCADA system? What is a PLC?
Know your plants highs and lows What are examples of highs and lows? Highs & Lows Are they analog or digital?
1 2 3 EFFICIENT FAST CONVENIENT With a good SCADA system regulatory agencies can reduce onsite visits SCADA can provide useful information such as 24-hour trends with the click of a button The use of mobile technology for SCADA is a key part of the operator evolution. SCADA as a source of records
