In the pipeline industry, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are used to collect data from pipeline sensors in real time and display these data to humans who monitor the data from remote sites and remotely operate pipeline control equipment. This National Transportation Safety Board study was designed to examine how pipeline companies use SCADA systems to monitor and record operating data and to evaluate the role of SCADA systems in leak detection.

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are playing an increasingly important role in the electrical power, petroleum and gas, transport, water treatment and other large industries although recent trends indicate that the system is catching interest in the building and energy management area. A well designed SCADA system can simplify the operation of complicated plants., enhance safety and reduce man-power needed in hazardous environment, improve the performance of plant operators when faced with emergency situations, and increase the efficiency of plants. This paper deals with SCADA system in the electrical power industry and concentrates on the role played by microprocessors in the Remote Termonal Unit (RTU).
