Today, you will learn the difference between a SCADA system and an HMI. We will talk about the differences as well as the similarities, and also when each is used. There is usually some confusion because of the similarities.
SCADA stands for “Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.”
These are used for monitoring and controlling large areas, typically a full site or plant.
SCADA systems are a combination of many systems including sensors, RTUs or Remote Terminal Units, and PLCs.

PLC vs SCADA vs DCS
What's the difference between #PLC #SCADA & #DCS?
A PLC, Programmable Logic Controller, reads inputs, executes logic, and writes to outputs.
A SCADA, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition connects to a group of PLC's and provides remote monitoring, control, and alarming.
A DCS, distributed control system, has both SCADA and PLC functionality. The PLCs are sometimes called RIO or RTU units often run proprietary or application-specific code, such as a rolling mill DCS.
SCADA can then connect to a DCS using drivers such as Kepware Technologies to integrate the DCS system with other applications across your plant/enterprise.
Hope this answers your question!

What is difference between PLC, DCS and SCADA
Currently there are two main stream types of control systems – PLC-SCADA and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
DCSs were traditionally used to control large processes, while PLC systems were used to control machines. Since the introduction of PC Windows-based SCADA systems and Ethernet networks, the dividing lines between DCS and PLC-SCADA systems have become blurred.
PLC-SCADA solutions cater to meet specific client needs but require extensive work to manage the associated complexity of the PLC and SCADA software. A PLC-SCADA solution is characterised by its open nature, flexibility, complexity and can be considered to be a blank canvas.

=============================
The SCADA acronym stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.
A SCADA system is a collection of both software and hardware components that allow supervision and control of plants, both locally and remotely.
The structural design of a standard SCADA system starts with Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and/or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
As you know, RTUs and PLCs are microprocessors that communicate and interact with field devices such as valves, pumps, and HMI’s.
That communication data is routed from the processors to the SCADA computers, where the software interprets and displays the data allowing for operators to analyze and react to system events.
Before SCADA, plant personnel had to monitor and control industrial processes via selector switches, push buttons, and dials for analog signals.
This meant that plants had to maintain personnel on site, during production, in order to control the processes.
As manufacturing grew and sites became more remote in nature, relays and timers were used to assist in the supervision and control of processes.
With these devices employed, fewer plant personnel were required to be on site in order to oversee and control operations.
While relays and timers did provide some level of automation, the panels required for these devices took up valuable real estate, troubleshooting was a nightmare, and reconfiguring was difficult at best.
These issues, in conjunction with the need to grow even larger industrial plants, helped to facilitate the birth of automation.
Controlling industrial plants via processors became a reality in the 1950s. Gas and oil, utilities, and manufacturing were major users of these new technologies and supervisory control.
Another decade later the term SCADA was used to describe systems with PLC’s and microprocessors that were being used for the monitoring and control of automated processes on an even greater scale than ever before. SCADA, back then, was anything but practical.
In the next couple of decades, the ’80s and 90s, with computer systems getting smaller, the advent of Local Area Networking (LAN), and HMI software, SCADA systems were able to connect to related systems.
Later in the ’90s and 2000s, SCADA began to implement open system architectures with communication protocols that were not vendor specific.
As you can imagine, this opened up SCADA’s ability to connect with varying vendors. This newer, more improved SCADA was then called a networked SCADA system.
Current day SCADA systems have adapted to the changing technologies and have a great advantage over the older SCADA systems.
With the adoption of modern IT standards such as SQL and web-based applications, today’s SCADA allows for real-time plant information to be accessed from anywhere around the world.
Having this data at the operator’s fingertips facilitates improved plant operations allowing for responses to SCADA system queues based on field collected data and system analysis.
Essentially, SCADA is a collection of hardware and software components.
This collection of components begins with real-time data collected from plant floor devices such as pumps, valves, and transmitters.
These components don’t have to be from a particular vendor, they just need to have a communication protocol that the processor can utilize.
Data collected from the field devices is then passed to the processors such as PLCs. From the processor, the data is distributed to a system of networked devices. These devices may be HMIs, end-user computers, and servers.
On the HMI and end-user computer, graphical representations of the operations exist for operator interactions such as running pumps and opening valves.

SCADA stands for “Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition.”

SCADA systems are a combination of many systems including sensors, RTUs or Remote Terminal Units, and PLCs.
Data from all of these systems is then sent to the central SCADA unit. That SCADA unit has its own HMI. This is why a lot of people get confused and think SCADA and HMI are one and the same.
That HMI or “Human Machine Interface” unit on the SCADA can monitor and control anything that is connected to it. In conclusion, HMI can be part of SCADA but SCADA cannot be part of an HMI. It’s that simple.

=============================
As you have previously learned, a SCADA system is a collection of both software and hardware components that allow supervision and control of plants, both locally and remotely.
A DCS is also a collection of components used for the same purpose.
A SCADA system is used to gather and present data to operators, make decisions about processes with the aid of operator input, and control plant functions based on those decisions.
The DCS’s role in plant automation is the same as the SCADA system.
Human Machine Interface (HMI) panels are the primary graphical interface between the plant processors and processes and the operators interacting with and controlling those processes.
The HMI panels can be procured from the same manufacturer as the controller, such as Siemens, Allen Bradley, GE, and Schneider Electric, all of which produce their brand of HMI panels.
There are also independent HMI panel manufacturers such as Red Lion.
While most of the manufacturers may have their own brand of HMI, typically, additional software is needed to program the HMI.
In the case of Siemens, WinCC software, Allen Bradley requires FactoryTalk View, Schneider needs Vijeo Designer or Citect, and so on.
There may be some PLC/HMI programming software that is integrated for the manufacturer but for the most part, they are separate software packages requiring separate purchases.
Having the same vendor of PLC and HMI may seem to be an advantage but as noted, the requirement for additional software is definitely not beneficial.
HMIs are primarily used in small scale automation environments. When you have larger-scale systems, the interface with the plant process is typically a desktop computer.
This computer requires its own software package such as Intellution or iFix, Wonderware, or VtSCADA to name a few.
While a SCADA system has HMIs or computers that are not necessarily of the same manufacturer, the DCSs have graphical interfaces that are typically integrated within the DCS system.
Now let’s discuss the brains of the operation.
Within the SCADA system, there may be PLCs and RTUs. As you are aware by now, these components require programming in order to execute commands essential to plant operations.
Communications within a SCADA system can vary widely and have adapted to the changing technologies while the DCS has also adapted, there are still some proprietary communications that can be challenging.
There are not massive differences in the systems.
DCSs have integrated operator interface software with tag databases, while SCADA requires you to purchase additional software and build or import your tags.
If you have a very time-sensitive process, SCADA systems may have a slight advantage as the processing time is faster.
Concerned about safety? Advantage DCS.
Need open communication architecture? Advantage SCADA.

Communications within a SCADA system can vary widely and have adapted to the changing technologies while the DCS has also adapted, there are still some proprietary communications that can be challenging.
There are not massive differences in the systems.
DCSs have integrated operator interface software with tag databases, while SCADA requires you to purchase additional software and build or import your tags.
If you have a very time-sensitive process, SCADA systems may have a slight advantage as the processing time is faster.
Concerned about safety? Advantage DCS.
Need open communication architecture? Advantage SCADA.

When to use PLC ,DCS & SCADA | PLC vs DCS vs SCADA Selection Guide #plc #dcs #scada #selection
What is difference between PLC, DCS and SCADA
Currently there are two main stream types of control systems – PLC-SCADA and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
DCSs were traditionally used to control large processes, while PLC systems were used to control machines. Since the introduction of PC Windows-based SCADA systems and Ethernet networks, the dividing lines between DCS and PLC-SCADA systems have become blurred.
PLC-SCADA solutions cater to meet specific client needs but require extensive work to manage the associated complexity of the PLC and SCADA software. A PLC-SCADA solution is characterised by its open nature, flexibility, complexity and can be considered to be a blank canvas.
