We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Scada Systems",
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 System integrators see new automation strategy from
Schneider Electric, which we summarised at the time by saying "Schneider Electric's new automation strategy will be unveiled together with working demonstrations of equipment in a product 'speed dating' format".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Terminal handles multiple USB devices from
Nematron: "Supporting up to eight different languages with Windows TrueType font and Unicode, the PowerView 8000 is suitable for system integrators working in the international markets".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Tyco Electronics - Energy Division
concerning its Integra 1630 DMS
- take a look at Digital metering supports Ethernet communication
which says: "The Integra 1630 DMS with Ethernet module acts as a BACnet/IP server device and may be queried by a BACnet/IP client device which conforms to the BACnet/IP protocol".
Take a look also at the news release from Citect, Clustering and process control networks,
as well as Digital meter gets the measure of power from Tyco Electronics - Energy Division,
and The importance of redundancy in Scada systems from Citect.
