![]() SCADAAnd TelemetrySupervisory Control And Data Acquisition or SCADA has two distinct functions; the first of which is the ability to control and manipulate physical equipment where you are not present. Such as, turning on/off an irrigation pump, opening/closing a flood gate, regulating how much to open/close a valve. The sky's the limit on what you could do here. The Second distinct function of SCADA is to acquire REAL-TIME Feedback of your remote equipment. Examples include, obtaining flow meter data, on/off status of equipment, percentage a valve is open/closed and finally; putting all this information in ways you can use to help make decisions on where to place manpower, conserve energy, and provide trending reports and alarms when something needs attention. Allen Pump Company builds and operates SCADA based on what we believe any operator should need because we build and operate systems of our own. Design criteria for your system should include the following.
