SCADA Remote Monitoring
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
The primary purpose of SCADA is to monitor, control and alarm plant or regional operating systems from a central location. These systems are especially beneficial when equipment in need of monitoring is not easily accessible.
There are three main elements to a SCADA system:
- Various Remote Telemetry Units (RTU's)
- Communications
- Human Machine Interface (HMI)
SCADA can be easily customized to fit your needs. Systems can be licensed or unlicensed, as well as:
- Stand Alone System
Features built in Input/Outputs (I/O's)

- Protocol-Specific System
Based on PLC protocol
Examples: Allen-Bradley, ModBus
