Lesson 1: SCADA Architecture, Components, Requirements, and Data Acquisition

SCADA servers, clients, historians, engineering stations, PLCs, RTUs, remote sites, and networks
Centralized, distributed, redundant, web, telemetry, and cloud-connected architectures
Tags, data types, scaling, quality, timestamps, scan rates, deadbands, and derived values
Functional requirements, availability, performance, tag counts, users, security, and capacity
Architecture diagrams, naming standards, documentation, design review, and validation

Create or review a practical configuration for scada servers, clients, historians, engineering stations, plcs, rtus, remote sites, and networks.
Build and test an exercise involving centralized, distributed, redundant, web, telemetry, and cloud-connected architectures and tags, data types, scaling, quality, timestamps, scan rates, deadbands, and derived values.
Use diagnostics or evidence to validate architecture diagrams, naming standards, documentation, design review, and validation.

Explain scada servers, clients, historians, engineering stations, plcs, rtus, remote sites, and networks.
Apply centralized, distributed, redundant, web, telemetry, and cloud-connected architectures and tags, data types, scaling, quality, timestamps, scan rates, deadbands, and derived values.
Validate and troubleshoot architecture diagrams, naming standards, documentation, design review, and validation.
