Abstract
In this paper we have developed a SCADA system
for monitoring & accessing the performance of
parameter such as voltage, current, humidity on real
time basis. For this we have used the infrastructure
of the existing industrial network, which is based on
plc, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) is a field of constant development and
research. This project investigates on creating an
extremely low cost device which can be adapted to
many different SCADA applications via some very
basic programming, and plugging in the relevant
peripherals. Much of the price in some expensive
SCADA applications is a result of using specialized
communication infrastructure. The application of
infrastructure, in the proposed scheme the cost will
come down. Additionally the generic nature of the
device will be assured. A SCADA deals with the
creation of an inexpensive, yet adaptable and easy
to use SCADA device and infrastructure using the
industrial network, in particular. The hardware
components making up the device are relatively
unsophisticated, yet the custom written software
makes it re-programmable over the air, and able to
provide a given SCADA application with the ability
to send and receive control and data signals at any
non predetermined time. From the SCADA system
which is proposed in setup the battery voltage of
12v could be sufficiently recorded from remote
location. The properly designed SCADA system
saves time and money by eliminating the need of
service personal to visit each site for inspection,
data collection /logging or make adjustments.
Main concept of our paper is data acquisition &
controlling by using SCADA software and PLC.
Here PLC is a medium between electrical system &
Personal Computer for SCADA to take input and
output bits. . Automating electrical distributions
systems by implementing a supervisory control and
data acquisition (SCADA) system is the one of the
most cost-effective solutions for improving
reliability, increasing utilization, increasing
efficiency and saving costs. Nowadays consumer
requires more reliable & efficient power supply. So
we can use automation systems as per the consumer
requirement.
