Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA)

Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture comprised of computers, networked data communications and Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for high-level process supervisory management, while also comprising other peripheral devices like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and discrete Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers to interface with process plant or machinery. The use of SCADA has been considered also for management and operations of project-driven-processes in construction.
