Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is used, as the name suggests, to
monitor and control processes. My personal exposure to SCADA was while working for the
Potomac Edison power company in Hagerstown, Maryland, as an engineer. for a short time
right after graduation from college. At the time, all of the substations and big switching
stations either had, or were being outfitted with SCADA capabilities. Functions ranged
from simple monitoring the positions of circuit breakers and power (voltage & current),
to changing transformer tap ratios and operating switches. Remote communications
were handled via telephone model or power line carrier. Some work was being done with
wireless. Of course SCADA implementations have much wider and varied uses than power
distribution. Vast manufacturing installation and industrial process are handled through
SCADA.
