Industrial Control Systems

 

Industrial control system (ICS) is a general term that encompasses several types of control systems,
including supervisory control and data acquisition systems, distributed control systems, and other smaller
control system configurations such as skid-mounted programmable logic controllers often found in the
industrial sectors and critical infrastructures.

Industrial control systems are typically used in industries such as electrical, water, oil and gas as well as
data. Based on information received from remote stations, automated or operator-driven supervisory
commands can be pushed to remote station control devices, which are often referred to as field devices.

Field devices control local operations such as opening and closing valves and breakers, collecting data from sensor systems, and monitoring the local environment for alarm conditions.
