The ASCADA-SAS (Ashida SCADA Software Systems) is Windows operating system based, extremely user-friendly Software and works in a point-n-click environment.
The ASCADA-SAS Software interrogates SCADA modules installed on individual bays/post. All such information collected from various modules is then processed, recorded & presented to the user in form of colored mimic diagrams, event lists, alarm lists, graphs, summary screens & annunciation windows etc. These can be further conferred as per user requirements for customized audio alarms, etc.
In this mimic display screen, monitored component can be selected and operated with a simple point-n-click procedure. The user has an option to control individual bays based on this data. Multiple such sub-stations can be monitored from a single location.
The recorded data is used to generate reports like history event, feeder logs, energy audits, interruption, outage or tripping reports, history graphs and other analytical reports as per user requirements. Any of these can be exported to all popular word processing & spread sheet formats.
