SYSTEMS SCADA
SCADA
stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. A SCADA system is based on
computers that monitor and remotely control a system, process or system with
different characteristics. Unlike Distributed Control Systems, the control loop
is usually closed by the operator. Distributed Control Systems are
characterized by performing control actions automatically. Today it is easy to
find a SCADA system performing tasks automatic control in any level, but their
main task is monitoring and control by the operator.
