Scada in the water industry

SCADA, acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition have been proved as one of revolutionary technology which has all together changed face of automated tasks.

Due to integration of SCADA systems with automated tasks, these have become more reliable. Though being a supervisory system, SCADA systems are powerful systems which control the flow of automated tasks on its own and without any need for human to intervene. Due to these reasons, SCADA is becoming more and more popular.

As the need for human intervention is almost zero and SCADA system incites predefined actions when the state of system changes or when value of any parameter changes beyond permissible levels, these have found wide applications now.

Security enhancement for scada communication protocols

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) has found its applications into many realms of industry as well as real life.

Now its scope it is not limited to traditional industries but it has made inroads into many other fields especially the control systems like water control system, electricity control systems, sewerage control system etc.

Though SCADA systems are important for safe and secure working environment but there are many security lapses in them which can be traversed easily and it can lead to leak of crucial data to outside people.

Mostly the lapses are present in the way how the information/ data collected get transmitted. The remote terminals are generally connected via LAN supporting TCP/IP protocol thus rendering it to security lapses. Such lapses can be fatal thus there is need for security enhancement for SCADA communication protocols.

Converters 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.
