SCADA

SCADA SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITON. IT REFERS TO AN INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEM,(A COMPUTER MONITORING AND COMPILING A PROCESS). THE PROCESS CAN BE EX:-MANUFACTURING PRODUCTION,POWER GENERATION,etc AND MAY RUN IN CONTINUOUS,BATCH OR DISCRETE MODES.

COMMON SYSTEM COMPONENTS

HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE A SUPERVISORY (COMPUTER)SYSTEM REMOTE TERMINAL UNIT(RTUs) PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS(PLCs) COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE

1. HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE

IT IS THE APPARATUS WHICH PRESENTS PROCESSED DATA TO HUMAN OPERATOR AND THROUGH THIS THE HUMAN OPERATOR MONITORS AND CONTROL THE PROCESSES HMI IS USUALLY LINKED TO SCADA SYSTEM DATABASES TO PROVIDE TRENDING, DIAGONISING DATA AS PER SCHEDULED (~TRENDINGCHANGE DIRECTION ABRUPTLY)

MIMIC DIAGRAM

2. A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM

THE SYSTEM GATHERING OR ACQURING DATA ON THE PROCESS AND SENDING COMMANDS TO CONTROL THE PROCESS

3. REMOTE CONTROL UNITS

THE UNITS CONNECTING TO SENSORS IN THE PROCESS ,CONVERTING SENSOR SIGNALS TO THE DIGITAL DATA AND SENDING DIGITAL DATA TO THE SUPERVISORY SYSTEM

4. PROGRAMMING LOGIC CONTROLLERS

USED AS A FIELD DEVICES THEY ARE MORE FLEXIBLE AND CONFIGURABLE THAN RTUs IT IS A DIGITAL COMPUTER USED FOR AUTOMATION OF ELECTROMACHANICAL PROCESSES PROGRAM S TO CONTROL MACHINE OPERATIONS ARE TYPICALLY STORED IN BATTERY BACKED DEVICES OR NONVOLATILE MEMORY .contd

..CONTD
IT IS AREAL TIME SYSTEM (OUTPUT RESULTS ARE PRODUCED IN RESPONSE TO INPUT CONDITIONS WITHIN A BOUNDED TIME) IN THAT FIRM,PLCs ARE USUALLY PROGRAMMED USING SPECIAL APPLICATION SOFTWARE WRITTEN FOR USE ON DESKTOP COMPUTERS CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COMPUTER AND PLC IS GIVEN VIA ETHERNET RS-232 OR RS-485 CABLING

..CONTD
THIS SOFTWARE ALLOWS UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING OF COMPUTER AND PLC FOR BACKUP AND RESTORATION PURPOSES ALTERNATELY SPECIFIC DEVICES KNOWN AS PROGRAMMING BOARDS ARE USED TO HARD WIRE THE LOGIC INTO CONTROLLER BY THE USE OF A REMOVABLE CHIP EEPROM

5.COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE
IT IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONNECTING SUPERVISORY SYSTEM TO THE REMOTE TERMINAL UNITS ::-SUPERVISORY STATION-:: IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNICATING WITH FIELD EQUIPMENTS(RTUs,PLCs etc.,) AND THEN TO THE HMI SOFTWARE RUNNING ON WORKSTATIONS IN THE CONTROL ROOM

CONCLUSION
I already gave a description of the firm the regulations ,rules and tendency of the company Description of scada , its basic components and woking model like regulating water flow etc. Importance of programmable logic controllers and where they are used and how they are used. I conclude that the training was very successful and very useful for my future .I attained practical knowledge in the related areas .It will be very helpful in my future while developing my own projects.
