Industrial control systems are computer controlled systems that monitor and control industrial processes that exist in the physical world. SCADA systems historically distinguish themselves from other ICS systems by being large scale processes that can include multiple sites, and large distances. These processes include industrial, infrastructure, and facility-based processes Field of application Industrial processes include those of manufacturing, production, power generation, fabrication, and refining, and may run in continuous, batch, repetitive, or discrete modes. Common SCADA system components A SCADA system usually consists of the following subsystems: A human–machine interface or HMI: is the apparatus or device which presents processed data to a human operator, and through this, the human operator monitors and controls the process.
A supervisory (computer) system: gather (acquire) data on the process and sending commands (control) to the process. Remote terminal units (RTUs): connect to sensors in the process, convert sensor signals to digital data and send digital data to the supervisory system. Programmable logic controller (PLCs): used as field devices because they are more economical, versatile, flexible, and configurable than special-purpose RTUs. Communication infrastructure: connect the supervisory system to the remote terminal units. Various process and analytical instrumentation. IC systems and SCADA system Introduction IC systems is a leading companies in the design and implementation of Automation and control systems, It has been contributing and applying control systems in the local market and industry since 2002. Built SCADA systems by IC systems Among the long list of the Automation systems that IC systems designed, build, contributed in, and supervised, there were three sophisticated SCADA system: Jerusalem district electricity company (JDECO) (June 2006 – June 2007) Hebron National Electricity Company (June 2006) |
