SCADA Systems
SCADA systems are used to control dispersed assets where centralized data acquisition is as important as control . These systems are used in distribution systems such as water distribution and wastewater collection systems, oil and natural gas pipelines, electrical utility transmission and distribution systems, and rail and other public transportation systems.
SCADA systems integrate data acquisition systems with data transmission systems and HMI software to provide a centralized monitoring and control [..]
