We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Scada Software", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release I/O units integrate Scada systems from Audon Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "The optional DAQ Studio software can be used to provide a data acquisition, trending and alarm management interface for the PC". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release Drives save on energy costs from Silverteam: "Within days of completing the installation, energy meters strategically located around the system were confirming that considerable savings were being made".
 
In October 2007, we covered the news from Audon Electronics concerning its UDIN low-cost USB relays - take a look at USB relays offer simple use which says: "The UDIN range consists of a USB interface, a micro-controller and relay outputs and/or opto-isolator inputs".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Tascomp, Software chosen for energy management, as well as Output module designed for controller from Red Lion Controls, and Scada package offers automation compatability from Schneider Electric.
