The answer to that question is either so broad as to constitute a book, or else so brief as to be trivial.

Try this for a start:

I suggest you use Yahoo or Dogpile or another search engine to find Wonderware and some SCADA info. Then come back here with questions that are a little more specific. If you look at your class text you might also find some information.

some answers (Quickies)

SCADA: System Control And Data Acquisition, allows you as a user to remotely supervise, control and monitor industrial applications by using PLCs, PCs and communication links.
WINCC: Specific vendor application of SCADA oriented towards High Voltage and Medium Voltage Power Substations.
WonderWare: Specific Vendor SCADA for industrial applications.
DCS: Distributed Control System.

Sherman4,

I have to correct you. SCADA stands for Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition. WinCC is the SCADA package from Siemens and is used for all SCADA tasks, just as Wonderware Intouch, Citect, Lookout and all those others. In fact WonderWare is an automation suite, with much more than only SCADA.

Kind regards,
