SCADA Network

So welcome to my blog. In this post I am gonna write about SCADA network. This actually come to my mind because of web show named Mr. Robot. The show is awesome if you love hacking believe me you will enjoy the series. So basically the SCADA ( Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ) is a control system architecture comprising computers, networked data communications and graphical user interface for high level process supervisory management, while also comprising other peripheral devices like programmable logic controllers and discrete proportional-integral-derivative controllers to interface with process plant or machinery. SCADA networks used for monitoring and controlling the  industry like  telecommunication, water plant, etc. It is one of the most commonly used industrial control system, in spite of concerns about SCADA system being vulnerable to cyberattack. 


This network is used for gathering info about the system, transferring that info to central site, alerting the home station or carry out necessary analysis and control. There is system components of SCADA:-

  • Supervisory Computers
This elements gather data and send control commands to field connected devices. It refers to a high level of overall monitoring of individuals process controllers, which is not necessary for the operation of each controller, but gives the operator an overall plant process view. This take one of two form. In one, the process continue autonomously. In the next, it take instruction , carries it autonomously, reports the result and wait for another command. 

  • Remote Terminal Unit
Remote Control Unit is a microprocessor control electronic device that interface object in physical world. An RTU monitor the digital and analog parameters and transmit data to SCADA master station. It run setup software to connects data input stream and data output streams, define communications protocol, and troubleshoot installation in the fields. 

  • Programmable Logic controller
A PLC or program controller is a industrial digital computer which is ruggedized and adapted to control manufacturing process, such as assembly line, or robotic devices or any activities require high reliability, ease of programming and process fault diagnosis. PLCs can range from small modular devices with ten of Inputs and Outputs. 

  • Communications Infrastructure
This connects supervisory computers to RTUs and PLCs, and may use industry standard or manufacturer proprietary protocols. Both RTUs and PLCs work autonomously on the near real time control of the process, using the last command given from the supervisory system. 

  • Human - machine interface
The HMI is a operator windows of supervisory system. It presents plant information in the personnel graphical form. HMI is connected to supervisory to give live presentation of data.

RPA - UiPath

By
What is RPA?   RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across  application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.   UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs...

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

By
Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i...

Alien could be discovered on this new class of 'Hycean' exoplanet.

By
In the discovery for Alien life, astronomers have mostly looked for planets of a similar size, mass, temperature, and atmospheric composition to Earth. Recently, the team of astronomers find a class of planets that may prove the existence of Alien Life. Such exoplanets are more numerous in planetary surveys than rocky ones, which means they could be fertile territory in the search for alien life. The researchers have dubbed them 'Hycean' worlds.  In the new study, researchers identify one such class of alien worlds "Hycean" planets, which are up to 2.5 times larger than Earth and feature huge oceans of liquid water beneath hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Hycean planets appear to be incredibly abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, and they could host microbial life similar to the "extremophiles" that thrive in some of Earth's harshest environments, study team members said. "Hycean planets open a whole new avenue in our search for life elsewhere,...
