MicroSCADA is a type of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software used in industrial automation and control applications such as power generation, distribution, and transmission systems, water treatment plants, and manufacturing facilities. It is used for monitoring and control of processes and equipment like circuit breakers and switches as well as in large rectifiers, and static frequency converters.

History[edit]

MicroSCADA initially started in 1981 in the Finnish electrotechnical company Strömberg Oy, which was founded by Gottfrid Strömberg in 1889. Originally named Strömberg Control System (SCS), it was active mainly in Finland and in the Nordic countries but to some degree also in other countries.[1]

Application[edit]

MicroSCADA is used for automation and control for transportation, [industry]], infrastructure, electricity and renewable utilities.[2].

MicroSCADA is used in substations and control centers. It consist of a central control unit that collects data from remote IEDs and other substation devices, and provides a graphical user interface for operators to monitor and control the system. The system may be configured to generate alarms in events such as faults. When fault situations happen in the power network, the control system receives an alarm. After the issue is resolved, the alarm can be set as acknowledged by the operator.

MicroSCADA uses a Hot-Standby concept in which a one device takes in control and when problem occur the redundant extra system takes over. It can be integrated to a higher level sub-master SCADA or even grand master SCADA to collect data from digital overcurrent relays (DRLs), distribution line communication (DLC) modules, automatic meter reading (AMR) etc and send it to the sub-master station for supervisory monitoring.[3]

Subsystems[edit]

MicroSCADA has three subsystems namely SYS600 and DMS600 as well as the hardware SYS600C.

  • SYS600C is an industrial computer in which MicroSCADA can be installed for used in electrical substations. It is manufactured together with SYS600 software.
