Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I’m currently involved in automating a wastewater treatment process using a PLC. I’m in need of a SCADA system to control equipment, visualize data, and monitor each step of the process.
I received a recommendation for a Windows-compatible SCADA, but I’m not a fan of Windows due to its slow performance on industrial computers. Are there any free Linux-friendly alternatives or solutions to achieve the same functionality? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
What you are looking for is Ignition SCADA. Specifically the perspective module. It is the best in the market in my opinion, has unlimited tags, great training videos and runs on almost anything. It also comes with the drivers needed to connect to most of the popular brands’ PLCs.
I have seen this implemented at wastewater and water treatment plants
However a SCADA will be pricey, if it’s a small plant rather consider an HMI, there are options available from Ignition’s side, but it’ll depend on how much it is worth to you
Are you just a casual SME and just found this question?
