6. What is SCADA?
SCADA is a term for a type of system. The acronym stands for
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
SCADA is a control system used to monitor and control operation of equipment such as pumps, valves, sensors and other instruments.

7. Human Machine Interface
A SCADA system uses computers, industrial processors and networks to read field devices, make decisions, and control other field devices.

12. How to fund SCADA projects?
Obsolescence
SCADA software upgrade cycle is typically 5 years
Hardware lifecycle is typically years
CIP Planning
Identify SCADA needs in advance
Add the costs for SCADA projects to the CIP
Master Plans
Either overall or SCADA Master Plans can help justify
Are a formal document identifying a need and path
Master Plans typically have a list of projects

13. How to fund SCADA projects?
Add-on Strategies
Take advantage of plant expansions or refurbishments
Add fiber optic cable when installing underground assets like pipelines
Follow the IT model and specify the right equipment and software
Justifications
Improve safety
Downtime or spill costs versus more instrumentation and visibility
Go from 24/7/365 to only M-F 8-5 operators
Remote visibility/control for all
Reduce energy and maintenance costs

14. Discussion Questions
What are some misconception you had about SCADA systems?
What funding strategies have you found successful for funding SCADA projects?
