What is SCADA? Axel Daneels‚ Wayne Salter ‚ IT/CO Abstract An industrial SCADA system will be used for the development of the controls of the four LHC experiments. This paper describes the SCADA systems in terms of their architecture‚ their interface to the process hardware‚ the functionality and the application development facilities they provide. Some attention is also paid to the industrial standards to which they abide‚ their planned evolution as well as the potential benefits of their

acronym “P&ID” is widely understood within the process industries as the name for the principal document used to define a process – the equipment‚ piping and all monitoring and control components. The Automation‚ Systems and Instrumentation Dictionary‚ 4th edition’s definition for a Piping and Instrumentation Drawing (P&ID) tells what they do. P&IDs “show the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process”.1 Sets of symbols are used to depict mechanical

Organizational Design The five approaches to structure is fundamental‚ divisional‚ matrix‚ team-based‚ and virtual network. Functional‚ divisional‚ and matrix are traditional approaches that rely on the chain of command to define departmental groupings and reporting relationships along the hierarchy‚ (Daft‚ p.318‚ 2013). Functional structure is where all the people in different departments all work towards to the top of the organization. They look at the organization as a whole. Divisional structure

advent of powerful and friendly integrated software has moved advanced process control (APC) from the realm of consultants into the arena of the average process control engineer. The obstacles of infrastructure and special skill requirements have started to disappear and we are poised for an accelerated application of APC. It is well known that APC seeks to discover‚ incorporate‚ and exploit knowledge about raw materials‚ process‚ product‚ equipment‚ instrumentation‚ and final elements. What is not

goals of the organization are achieved in desired manner. According to modern concepts‚ control is a foreseeing action whereas earlier concept of control was used only when errors were detected. Control in management means setting standards‚ measuring actual performance and taking corrective action.
