Actuator Manual Control via SCADA
Hello ,
Could any one explain me the infos mentioned in yellow !
Distribution bord will sized with electrical team or what exactly ?
Manual control via SCADA - It means the operator must have the option to control the valve manually from the graphics.
3 phase ways - If it is a motor operated valve then they may be talking about the power requirement to the valve. 1 phase or 3 phase as per the valve power ratings.
MCB rating - MCB will be selected as per the valve power rating.
Please check the design document or control philosophy for more details. (or any relevant document)
Some of these details are not clearly described.

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are commonly used to monitor and control industrial processes and infrastructure. While SCADA systems are primarily designed for automated control, they often provide the option for manual control as well. Actuators are devices used to control or move a mechanism or system, such as valves, motors, or switches.
SCADA
To manually control actuators via SCADA, you typically follow these steps:
Launch the SCADA software:
Start the SCADA application on your computer or workstation. This software allows you to interface with the SCADA system and control the various components, including the actuators.
Connect to the SCADA system:
Establish a connection to the SCADA system. This connection could be through a local network, a VPN (Virtual Private Network), or other remote access methods, depending on the setup of your SCADA system.
Access the control interface:
Once connected, navigate to the control interface within the SCADA software. The control interface allows you to interact with the different components of the system, including the actuators.
Locate the actuator controls:
Identify the specific actuator or group of actuators you wish to control. This might involve navigating through a hierarchy of equipment, selecting the appropriate section or subsystem, and finding the relevant controls for the actuators.
Select the desired actuator:
Choose the specific actuator you want to control. This could be a valve, motor, or any other actuator present in your system.
Control the actuator:
Depending on the SCADA system and the type of actuator, you may have different control options available. These options could include opening or closing a valve, starting or stopping a motor, adjusting the position of a switch, or setting specific parameters for the actuator’s operation.
Monitor feedback:
As you manually control the actuator, the SCADA system will likely provide feedback on the status and response of the actuator. This feedback could include information such as the current position, speed, or other relevant parameters.
Log and document:
It’s important to maintain a record of any manual control actions performed through the SCADA system. This documentation helps with troubleshooting, maintenance, and future reference.
Note that the specific steps and interface may vary depending on the SCADA software and the configuration of your system. It’s essential to consult the user manual or documentation provided with your SCADA software and follow any guidelines or procedures recommended by the system manufacturer.
