What is Supervisory Control and "SCADA"?

Supervisory Control:

Supervisory Control is the use of characters or signals for the automatic actuation of equipment or indicators wherein a Digital Output (DO) control operation is initiated by an Access-Point operator function or from an Action (math/logic) controller.

Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition

SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) networks are utilized for industrial measurement and control systems. They are commonly used in the following industries:

       *  Power Generation
       *  Electricity Transmission & Distribution
       *  Electric Utilities
       *  Natural Gas Utilities
       *  Oil & Gas Production Facilities
       *  Water Utilities
       *  Gas stations/gas pumps
       *  Transportation Infrastructure (Aviation, Traffic Control, &
           Railroads)
       *  and other critical infrastructure organizations. 


SCADA networks enable remote monitoring and control of an enormous variety and number of industrial devices, such as water and gas pumps, track switches, and traffic signals.

SCADA is a very broad umbrella that describes solutions across a large variety of industries, including: 

Electrical power distribution grids 
Power plants  
Environmental control systems 
Traffic signals 
Wastewater Treatment & POTW systems 
Mass transit 
Manufacturing 

The broad architecture of a SCADA solution involves physical equipment such as switches, pumps, and other devices able to be controlled by an Remote Telemetry Unit RTU A RTU, or Remote Telemetry Unit is a device which interfaces objects in the physical world to a DCS or SCADA system by transmitting telemetry data to the system and/or altering the state of connected objects based on control messages received from the system. 

A typical RTU has a network interface (usually either Ethernet, proprietary, or both), a simple processor, some environmental

The dual roles of the master computers are to provide the information such as meter readings and equipment status to human operators in a digestable form and to allow the operators to control the field equipment in predefined ways. Most SCADA deployments choose to restrict access to the master computers, and interface with the system using operator consoles which communicate with the master computers over a network.

What comprises a SCADA system or network?

A SCADA network consists of one of more Master Terminal Units (MTUs) which the operators utilize to monitor and control a large number of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs).  The MTU is often a general purpose computing platform, like a PC, running SCADA management software. 
The RTUs are generally small dedicated devices which are hardened for outdoor use and industrial environments.
