Abstract

From the Publisher:Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technologyhas evolved over the past 30 years as a method of monitoring and controllinglarge processes. Stuart Boyer has revised his well-received self-studyguide, bringing it up to date on recent developments of SCADA technology,while introducing students to SCADA basics.Boyer's guide offers overviews of SCADA's component technologies, as well asdetails necessary to understand the big picture. SCADA processes cover areasthat may be measured in the thousands of square miles, and have dimensionsthat may be hundreds, occasionally thousands, of miles long. Now a maturetechnology, SCADA includes, but is not limited to, software packages thatcan be incorporated in a larger system. After completing its 14 self-studyunits, readers should be conversant with SCADA nomenclature andarchitecture, understand the basic technology of the system's buildingblocks, understand its limitations, understand how it can benefit particularoperations, and have a basis for selecting appropriate SCADA technologiesfor their operational requirements.
