  APPLICATIONS OF SCADA Across industries such as food & beverage processing, pharma, biotech, water/wastewater management, energy management, refrigeration, HVAC & building management, electricity transmission & distribution and more, the application of SCADA in the industry is widespread. First used in the 1960s. SCADA systems are now an integral component in virtually all industrial plant and production facilities. Let's discuss SCADA in some detail. WHAT IS SCADA? SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. SCADA is a computer-based system for gathering and analyzing real-time production data, monitor and manage alarms, and program automatic responses triggered by certain events or system parameters. It is also able to operate in a cloud environment so that SCADA monitoring and control can be accomplished remotely by using tablets and smartphones. WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF SCADA? The SCADA system of software and hardware enable: automated control and...

  WHAT IS A VFD? VFD full form is a variable frequency drive . So the obvious questions then are: what is VFD drive ? Why do we use VFD ? Advantages of VFD ? According to Wikipedia, "a variable-frequency drive (VFD) or adjustable-frequency drive (AFD), variable-voltage/variable-frequency (VVVF) drive, variable speed drive (VSD), AC drive, a microdrive or inverter drive is a type of motor drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage." This blog aims to explain VFD and introduce you to its basic features and functions. WORKING OF VFDs A variable frequency drive controls the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency supplied to the motor. The drive also regulates the output voltage in proportion to the output frequency to provide a relatively constant ratio of voltage to frequency (V/Hz), as required by the characteristics of the AC motor to produce adequate torque. To understa...
