Abstract
This paper presents EDUSCA, an EDUcational SCAda with OPC data access. EDUSCA was specially designed for automatic control education, research and operator training purposes. The developed system takes advantage of the facilities offered by the OPC communication architecture. The system allows the students to face real practical problems, could be used to train operators in plant supervision and also allows the implementation of research functionalities. Their main advantages of EDUSCA are: (i) it can be connected to any plant whenever it includes OPC communications; (ii) it is free of licenses, thus it can be installed in many computers as necessary; (iii) it can be adapted to each application requirements and (iv) it allows the implementation of a diverse set of functionalities, as for example, control algorithms.
