SCADA Systems

SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is a type of Industrial Control System (ICS). Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are computer controlled systems that monitor and control industrial processes that exist in the physical world.

Industrial Control Systems, like PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), DCS (Distributed Control System) and SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) share many of the same features.

More intelligent and smart PLC and SCADA Systems are important in the Digitalization and Industry 4.0 area.

See the SCADA Systems page for more details.

DeltaV Process System

DeltaV is a Industrial Control System (ICS) from Emerson Process Management. We have at our university 2 different DeltaV facilities used within teaching and research. Mulitple Reaserach and Development Projecjets and Student Projects have been carried out within this area.
