SCADA Software and its Utilities in Plants

SCADA system is a centralized system which monitor and controls entire sites of a plant spread out over large areas. SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system is basically software which is used to centrally monitor and control the process parameters of various sections of a plant in real time. The software contains a library, SCADA developer develops virtual image of various field devices, motors, hopers, solenoid valves, control valves, alarms, MEP section and attaches these graphics to the real world devices. Any changes in process parameters, position of devices is available to the operator on real time basis. Thus it’s a simulation through which all activities of the plant can be monitored and controlled. SCADA system is generally complex in configure but it is at the same time very easy to operate. Most controls are automatically performed either by Remote Terminal Units ("RTUs") or by PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers). For performing control action SCADA System needs PLC System, thus PLC SCADA systems are typically used together.

SCADA software is installed in a PC and is connected to various PLCs and other peripheral field devices. It generates applications for the demanding requirements of plant engineers, operators, supervisors and managers. These requirements are customized as per the needs of each plant. SCADA continuously received data from the plant in real-time, stores and processes it in the database, evaluates and generates displays parameters in digital or graphical form, generates alarms and events. It can also issue instructions to PLCs and generate reports from this data for use of plant operators, engineers, managers. 

SCADA system and its Sub-systems

• A Human-Machine Interface or HMI is the device which is used with standalone machines
• Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) which connect various sensors to the process system, condition the signal generated from sensors to usable signal and send this date to SCADA System.
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLCs) are the devices which actually control the process system.
• Industrial networks connecting SCADA the Remote Terminal Units.

SCADA and its uses in a plant

·      Production department gets real time production parameter, manufacturing status is updated in real time basis and communicated to operator and control device

·      Production schedules can be viewed and updated automatically

·      Production specific information is managed and distributed when it matters the most

·      Data integrity and quality control is improved by using a common interface

·      Great platform for quality and statistical analysis

·      SCADA System helps in consolidation of manufacturing & lab data

·      SCADA software helps in troubleshooting and troubleshooting. SCADA system is directly connected to wide variety of field devices, so the defect rectification time is greatly reduced.

·      SCADA Systems facilitates plants to be viewed /monitored remotely. Alarms/Notifications can be automatically generated and e-mailed, messaged to the concerned.

·      Reduced downtime. Co-ordination among various departments is greatly enhanced.

·      SCADA Software with its real time functionality makes process operations easier.
