and on its basis the system reacts to a particular state. PLCs can be
easily programmed. The SCADA system like in all systems also keeps a
record of data collected in database in a systematic way and can be
easily accessed and manipulated.
Thus, when one needs to locate the fault he can easily locate by
checking the parameters which are stored in database. As the faults
gets detected in a timely and efficient manner, SCADA in the water
industry also saves troubleshooting costs which can be huge if there is
no idea of the location f the fault.
Data transmitted from remote sensors to central unit can be done in
many ways (Ethernet, serial ports, wireless) but wireless mode of
transmission is always cost effective and efficient. Thus, it
can be concluded that SCADA in the water industry has proved to be a
boon paying for the efficient and reliable working of water control
systems.

SCADA VHF Industrial products
generally work as remote sensors or repeaters. As the name
suggests, these products operate at VHF (Very High Frequency) which are
of tuning of Mhz.
Thus, the frequency band allocated to SCADA VHF industrial products
doesn't cause interference with other equipments operating in this
range. SCADA VHF industrial equipments too work on the same principle
of remote units and central system. Remote units collects the data and
send the collected data to a central system where its gets processed
and is displayed at Human Machine Interface (HMI) in human readable
format as series of graphs and textual representation.
If these radio transmitters act as remote units, then they collect the
data and send it to a central system via a wireless system operating in
frequency band of 175- 900 MHz, as the maximum capability of these
units is transmission in line of sight (maximum distance at which
central system is visible), it comes to be a major limitation of this
excellent automated system. |

These
systems can be seen serving electricity control systems, sewerage
control systems and such have been trust which has been entrusted with
these systems that now SCADA in the water industry has become
inseparable part.
With the deployment of SCADA in the water system the maintenance costs
have reduced to great extent along with the time taken to diagnose the
fault. The underlying principle of SCADA in the water industry is same
as of SCADA systems in general.
There are present remote sensors which collect the data and via a
transmission media send the collected data to a central system which
carries out the task of management, processing and display of the
collected data in human readable format. The data gets displayed at Man
Machine Interface, also called MMI. The brain of every SCADA system
lies in PLCs which is acronym for Programmable Logic.
