The goal of this course is to acquire the necessary knowledge about the SCADA software.

Outcomes are the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for understanding the complexity of SCADA software and solve practical engineering problems.

Introduction to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Examples of SCADA applications; Architecture of SCADA systems; Protocols and software components for data collection from industrial systems; Real-time data bases; Software components for alarms and events collection and processing; Historical data in SCADA systems; User interface solutions; Software subsystem for batch control, reporting, simulations and optimizations; Components for integration with external systems; Mobile SCADA applications; Reliability and availability of the system; Security of SCADA systems.

Teaching is conducted through lectures and computer exercises. During the exercises the student is required to apply their knowledge in practice.
