	SCADA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SCADA is the acronym for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.
		SCADA systems are used to monitor or to control chemical, physical or transport processes.
		SCADA systems have traditionally used combinations of radio and direct serial or modem connections to meet communication requirements, although Ethernet and IP over SONET is also frequently used at large sites such as railways and power stations.

	SCADA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used in industrial and civil engineering applications to control distributed systems from a master location.
		While the SCADA human-machine interface usually allows operators to view the state of any part of the plant equipment, most operator interaction with the system is driven by alarms.
		The human-machine interface package for the SCADA system typically includes a drawing program which the operators or system maintenance personnel use to change the way these points are represented in the interface.

	SCADA SYSTEM
		SCADA automatically generates alarms and monthly energy reports and is easily expandable as the needs grow.
		Prior to 1993, the method used to determine the magnitude of a campus power failure such as which buildings were affected and what should be first priority to restore power to were determined by a combination of waiting, hoping, guessing, triangulation and luck.
		Early on in the design of the SCADA application, it was determined that fire/smoke detectors were needed in all substation switch gear rooms.

		Een SCADA pakket is ontwikkelsoftware waarmee de bovengenoemde functionaliteit meestal standaard kan worden geconfigureerd, zoals de datapunten die uitgewisseld worden met het veld ("tag database"), alarmen, gebruikers en historische dataopslag.
		SCADA systemen functioneren in grote applicaties in een netwerk, waarbij enige Pc's taken zoals communicatie met de controllerlaag, historische dataopslag, alarmmanagement voor hun rekening nemen, terwijl andere Pc's uitsluitend als bedienoppervlak dienst doen.

	frontline: cyber war!: vulerabilities: scada systems? \| PBS
		SCADA systems -- Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems -- were primarily designed to be devices that sat off on their own, looked at a particular thing, like a gas pipeline, or something in an oil refinery, or something like that, and simply report information back, originally over a telephone line.
		SCADA is just not as interconnected with either the physical infrastructure or with other companies' networks as people make out.
		SCADA systems are an important point, just as IT infrastructure are important, because they can be affected at a distance through cyber means, and security isn't being applied today.

	SCADA EXPLAINED
		The major attraction of SCADA to a municipality is the ability to significantly reduce operating labor costs, while at the same time actually improve plant or regional system performance and reliability.
		SCADA based alarming is also very reliable since it is in-house and tied directly to process control.
		A significant feature of a SCADA system, often not fully appreciated, is the trending of data and nothing comes close for speed and ease of operation.

	SCADA Primer
		Contemporary SCADA systems exhibit predominantly open-loop control characteristics and utilise predominantly long distance communications, although some elements of closed-loop control and/or short distance communications may also be present.
		They have similar functions to SCADA systems, but the field data gathering or control units are usually located within a more confined area.
		SCADA systems on the other hand generally cover larger geographic areas, and rely on a variety of communications systems that are normally less reliable than a LAN.
