SCADA systems are Industrial Control System (ICS) systems, which are used in critical environments or where life is at stake if anything goes wrong. The industrial control systems are the systems that are responsible for controlling various processes, such as mixing two chemicals in a definite ratio, inserting carbon dioxide in a particular environment, putting the proper amount of water in the boiler, and so on.
The components of such SCADA systems are as follows:
