Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition , FAQ?
Scada is a software to collect data from industrial plant .
scada can be customised screen navigation .trends to improve customer experience .
it’s full form is supervisory control and data acquisition .
PLCS and SCADA both are used in industrial automation tools .PLCS Programmable Logic Controller are a piece of hardware .Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition is scada is a software running on a computer system .
Yes SCADA can easily replace paperless data logger .
The price varies on number of tags in most cases . price also varies with opted software modules.
no Internet is not must to operate the SCADA .however for web server or web clients internet would be required .
SCADA can be used in automation of infrastructure process control and control application. it can be used also in utility management like boiler ,chiller ,furnace to process automation , formaldehyde plant. in simple understanding it would get the data from PLC panels running any applications.
yes scada software can be connected to several desktop computers connected over intranet or internet.
All sensors analog or digital signals connected to PLC panels can be connected to SCADA .
Example includes pressure ,temperature ,vibration ,PH level flow or electrical signal parameters like voltage current power factor ,water parameters like density ,PH can be connected to the SCADA software through PLC panels.
All the critical plant parameters ,information related to electric motors running time ,tripping ,breaker tripping ,plant performance and its efficiency ,production can be stored in SCADA software .the information about various electrical ,process parameters can be stored in the database.
MQTT is the protocol for IIOT communication and SCADA does has MQTT as one of protocols
its a software system which is a program running on pc and is connected to controller. scada engineering is done to monitor and analyse the plant data
Its preferred to use a workstation PC.
PC with good SSD speed is preferred. faster PC means better or faster brain of software. especially its needed when more of analog signals are used .
Scada is used in control engineering ,alarm logging .it can log the real time data in data base ,show the real time and historic trends of the data . it can show real time data on the PLANT P& I diagram . it helps to create condition based alarming or time based alarming. it can show the status of pump motors by changing the colour of motor graphic on screen .
It can hold the plant data in database which can be used to improve the plant performance by expert process engineers
Its a good tool in troubleshooting the plant performance.
scada has different level of user password to protect the data from unwanted edits or accidental data tempering
No usually scada software sells with perpetual licence.
yes it can be connected to enterprise resource planning software like SAP Oracle .these software can poll the scada databse and filter the information .
Yes IT infrastructure play a vital role usually we prefer to use HP Z series workstation .
It depends on the cost of products being manufactured in the automation plant . Many times saving in resources can increase profits which are many multiples price of scada
yes we have used SCADA in smartcity of Faridabad . capturing Water distribution data through the city of faridabad .monitoring of electric motors running hours ,and many other signal from the remote locations . to present the information about water usage ,water wasted etc in the city of Faridabad.
Xarrow scada in our experience of industrial automation has one of the fastest onboarding & simplified HMI like interface . sms gateway integration data communication includes standard protocols & proprietary protocols . featuring voice alarms which play a audio alarm message in local language resulting in faster response.
Historic Trend with Minimum, maximum & average values are displayed at a glance. it starts almost at the price point of a good hmi .
The size of the xarrow SCADA is about 60MB only .it does not require ,expensive PC with Graphic cards or .NET platform etc.
SCADA software can also run as a redundant software . where the data is being captured by two or more systems in realtime .
mitsubishi electric has been on the forefront of automation projects using PLC,HMI,SERVO . it has full grown SCADA software users in water ,power ,automotive clients , data centers and redundant scada . Genesis 64
Programmable logic controller ,FAQ?
- What does the PLC word stands for , it stands for programmable logic controller.
- How many companies make PLC ?it is a Industrial control Equipment made by over 50 companies popular ones are Siemens ,Mitsubishi,Schenider Rockwell ,Hitachi,Fuji, Omron , ABB etc.
- Does PLC logic incorporates the Ladder logic ? still by and large majority of PLC programs are done in ladder logic however other programming languages are also widely popluar like Structured text ,FBD IEC 61131
- Does Programmable logic controller panels also use Relays ? yes relays are often used to isolate the PLC output from heavy current carrying elements,how ever interlocks of the devices are not made using relays.
- how many kind of programmable logic controllers are there ? small one is referred as Brick type unit where the CPU,Power supply & i/os are intigrated in a single unit ,other controller is referred as RACK type where backplane supports powersupply ,CPU and different cards for inputs ,outputs & special function cards,usually is about 3 times expensivve then the brick type.
- Where is programmable logic controllers are being used ? its used in manufactruing plants where machine or process sequence control and safety is important to product quality ,safety & cost saving
- What is the PLC Cost ? it’s price starts from about 10,000 INR to about 500,000/- and more depending on the configuration.
- Is Programmable logic controller and SCADA same? both systems are used in industrial automation but both are not same,it is more of Control device & scada is more of monitoring software..
- Is programmable logic controller expensive ? In fact plc systems saves lot of time and resources thus increasing profits
- Can programmable logic controller communicate Industrial Data to ERP .Yes it can establish data communications between industrial devices & ERP software.
