White paper on SCADA Systems Overview | 02 SCADA Systems Overview Introduction The definition of SCADA is ‘Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition’. The major function of SCADA is for acquiring data from remote devices such as valves, pumps, transmitters etc. and providing overall control remotely from a SCADA Host software platform. This provides process control locally so that these devices turn on and off at the right time, supporting your control strategy and a remote method of capturing data and events (alarms) for monitoring these processes. SCADA Host platforms also provide functions for graphical displays, alarming, trending and historical storage of data. Historically, SCADA products have been produced that are generic with a ‘one shoe fits all’ approach to various markets. As SCADA has matured to provide specific solutions to specific SCADA markets it has provided solutions for wide area
