Introduction to Communication Technologies: A Must Know For Beginners | Part 1 What is communication in essence ? It is the exchange of ideas between two or more parties. Every organism on the planet uses some form of communication. It is important to communicate to collaborate and synchronize . Similarly when the age of computers arrived, we felt the necessity to design systems which could talk to each other. When a group of devices talk to each other, it is called a Network.  It can be a serial or ethernet/wireless ethernet based network. In this article we will cover the basics of concepts of communication technologies used in the industry. As this is a huge topic, it cannot be covered in one article, so, it will be a series of articles [we haven't decided on how many yet].

Introduction to SCADA for Beginners: The Backbone of Industrial Automation In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, automation is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Industries across the globe are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure safety. Among the technologies that have revolutionized industrial processes, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) stands out as a pivotal system. Whether you're new to industrial automation or looking to deepen your understanding, this blog will provide a comprehensive introduction to SCADA, its components, and its significance in the modern industrial world. What is SCADA? SCADA is an acronym for S upervisory C ontrol A nd D ata A cquisition . It's a system used in industrial settings to monitor and control processes, gather data in real-time, and manage equipment across various locations. SCADA systems are integral to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, en...
