SCADA Systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems) have become integrated part of automated systems and have provided a greater degree of reliability along with increased efficiency to these tasks.

As clear from the name, itself SCADA systems are not any control systems but supervisory systems. They supervise automated tasks and take decisions on their own if any state/ parameter changes more than permissible value. Thus, these systems require minimal human intervention and can be addressed as closed loop systems. But human can intervene at any point of time, thus making these systems flexible to use.

Any SCADA system is composed of these main parts: Signal hardware (used for input as well as output), controllers (which control the flow of data or in other ways how and when data is collected and processed), user interface (known as Human Machine Interface), number of networks (which connects remote sensors together and then to a central system), software (for programming of SCADA system) along with the communication equipment.

The key features of every SCADA system are: Remote terminal Units (abbreviated as RTU) and Human Machine Interface (abbreviated as HMI). The brain of SCADA system lies in remote terminal units. Remote terminal units are generally programmed as per requirements but human intervention can also take place as per the need.

With each passing day, we are becoming more and more dependent on automated tasks. Now, we can't believe ourselves without automation. At small scale, precision and efficiency don't worry a great deal but when it comes to big terms, these two things matter a lot.

SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems) work in this direction. Though these systems started developing in 1960's but recently they have evolved have started playing an important role in automated tasks.

With deployment of SCADA systems a high degree of reliability and efficiently gets attached with automated tasks. Being supervisory systems they supervise the automated tasks and takes pre defined actions when a state/ parameter value rises above permissible levels.
