SCADA DEVICES FOR FIELD DATA INTERFACE Devices that serves as the eyes and ears for SCADA system Field data interface devices form the "eyes and ears" of a SCADA system. Devices such as reservoir level meters, water flow meters, valve position transmitters, temperature transmitters, power consumption meters, and pressure meters all provide information that can tell an experienced operator how well a water distribution system is performing. In addition, equipment such as electric valve actuators, motor control switchboards, and electronic chemical dosing facilities can be used to form the "hands" of the SCADA system and assist in automating the process of distributing water. However, before any automation or remote monitoring can be achieved, the information that is passed to and from the field data interface devices must be converted to a form that is compatible with the language of the SCADA system. To achieve this, some form of electronic field data interface

BASIC SCADA: SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM TUTORIALS Basic discussion on SCADA system in electrical utilities for automation Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition or known for the acronym of SCADA is a communication system that is used to monitor and control an industrial plant or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water and waste control, power system, oil and gas refining and transportation. These systems encompass the transfer of data between a SCADA central host computer and a number of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and/or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and the central host and the operator terminals. A SCADA system gathers information (such as what is the current status of a feeder in an electrical substation), transfers the information back to a central site, then alerts the home station that a feeder tripping occurred in a substation, carrying out necessary analysis and control, such as determining if the tripping is momentary, an

SCADA FOR POWER SYSTEM’S LOSS MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT Guides in monitoring technical losses using SCADA system in electrical power system. SCADA or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System have been very useful not only in electric industry application but also to any industry that requires remote monitoring and management. The evolution of SCADA system has been very extensive and its technological and software advancements became mostly reliable and stable. We will discuss the specifics of the SCADA system in the later topics which will include its history, developments, purpose, and many other topics that involves the said system. The application of SCADA rely mostly on communication subjects, however, electrical experts invests a huge amount time in maximizing the use of this system since electrical engineers and analysts depends so much in the information that SCADA can gather. For those of us who are not that familiar with SCADA, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisi
