Scada historian data analysis

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.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems have altogether made the task of automation efficient and reliable.

Though the development of SCADA systems began way back in 1960s but with the recent trends in technology have evolved these systems too and now from small scale applications to big time applications and now SCADA systems are involved in almost all controls systems irrespective of the fields.

Thus, SCADA has found its existence in water control systems, whether control systems, electricity control systems and now into wireless systems. Now various SCADA VHF industrial products are getting into existence which have evolved wireless industry too and ushered a new era of wireless technologies.

General Directions for SCADA in the Water Industry

If the project encompasses large area to be surveyed and human surveillance in not possible in such case, then one needs long distance SACDA radio networks to be employed for sending the data collected from remote sensors to central unit. 

When area under surveillance is hundreds of kilometres such as in case of petroleum pipeline, the only feasible solution is long distance Scada GSM.  Most important requisite for long range Scada GSMs is ability to transmit the data to long distance.

For such purposes, repeaters are used as line of sight is limited to 5 miles. Repeaters are radio transmitters which act as boosters for signals as signals tend to get weak after travelling certain amount of distance. Thus repeaters boost the attenuated signals and again transmit them to next repeater/ central system.
