SCADA Hierarchy
Complex SCADA systems are organized in hierarchical levels
Each level handles specific tasks within the automation system
Data flows from field devices up to enterprise systems
- Level 1: Sensors and Actuators (Field Level)
- Level 2: RTUs, PLCs, and Marshalling Systems
- Level 3: Industrial Communication Infrastructure
- Level 4: SCADA Servers / Supervisory Control Layer
- Level 5: Enterprise and Business Systems
