What is PLC SCADA? PLC and SCADA are two different terms but it is related to each other. PLC:- It stands for Programmable Logic Controllers! It is essentially a hardware based system. It is nothing but computer designed for one specific of reading field instrument and controlling actuators,motors etc based on what program os written in it.

It is essential a piece of software that is installed on PC/Computer. One of it major function is to act as a Human Machines Interference (HMI). Just like the PLC, SCADA systems are usually designed for modularity and scalability. Importance of PLC and SCADA in Electrical Engineering? New concept of smart grid o...
