2. Overview of Industrial Control Systems
• Industrial control system (ICS) is a general term that has several types
of control systems, including
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
Other smaller control system configurations such as skid-mounted
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)

3. WHAT IS SCADA ?
SCADA (SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION) is a system that is used for
monitoring, analysing and controlling an industrial process . A
SCADA system is capable of real time monitoring and management
of physical asset dispersed over very large geographical area.

5. • A SCADA system performs four functions:
• 1. Data acquisition
• 2. Networked data communication
• 3. Data presentation
• 4. Control

6. COMPONENTS OF SCADA
• Programmable logic controller(PLCs) connect to sensors in the
process and converting sensor signals to digital data. PLCs have more
embedded control capabilities than RTUs. PLCs are sometimes used in
place of RTUs as field devices because they are more economical,
versatile, flexible, and configurable.
• Or/And
• Remote terminal units (RTUs) connect to sensors in the process and
convert sensor signals to digital data. They have telemetry hardware
capable of sending digital data to the supervisory system, as well as
receiving digital commands from the supervisory system.

8. COMPONENTS OF SCADA
A telemetry system is typically used to connect PLCs and RTUs with control
centers , data ware houses, and the enterprise. Examples of wired telemetry
media used in SCADA systems include leased telephone lines and WAN
circuits. Examples of wireless telemetry media used in SCADA systems
include cellular and microwave and other communication medium.
A data acquisition server is a software service which uses industrial
protocols to connect software services via telemetry with field device such as
RTUs and PLCs. It allows clients to access data from these field devices using
standard protocols.
• A human–machine interface or HMI is the apparatus or device which
presents processed data to a human operator, and through this, the human
operator monitors and interacts with the process. The HMI is a client that
requests data from a data acquisition on server.

9. COMPONENTS OF SCADA
A Historian is a software service which accumulates time-stamped
data, Boolean events, and Boolean alarms in a data base which can be
queried or used to populate graphic trends in the HMI.The historian is a
client that requests data from a data acquisiti on server.
A supervisory(computer) system, gathering(acquiring) data on the
process and sending commands(control) to the SCADA system.
Communication in frastructure connecting the supervisory system to
the remote terminal units.Various process and analytical
instrumentation.

11. Monolithic SCADA Systems
Minicomputers are used earlier for computing the SCADA
systems. In earlier times, during the time of first generation,
monolithic SCADA systems were developed wherein the
common network services were not available. Hence, these
are independent systems without having any connectivity to
other systems.

13. Distributed SCADA Systems
The processing was distributed across multiple stations which were
connected through a LAN and they shared information in real time.
Each station was responsible for a particular task thus making the size
and cost of each station less than the one used in First Generation.

15. Networked SCADA Systems
Open system architecture
Multiple networked systems, sharing master station
functions
Utilizing open standards and protocols
Distribute SCADA functionality across a WAN
Open standards eliminate multiple limitations
Easier to connect to third party peripheral devices to the
system or the network
Disaster survivability
