SCADA

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture comprising computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level supervision of machines and processes. It also covers sensors and actuators, which are monitored and controlled from programmable logic controllers, or a distributed control…
