What Is SCADA? Supervisory Control Without Replacing the PLC
SCADA sits above PLCs and RTUs: it acquires field data, alarms operators, and issues supervisory commands across plants and remote assets—without replacing local deterministic control.

Engineered for precise industrial process automation, the Q68AD-G functions as a channel-to-channel isolated analog-to-digital conversion module designed for the Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q Series PLC platform. This module features eight independent channels, providing robust electrical separation between inputs to eliminate ground loops and minimize signal interference in complex electrical environments.
Each channel can be independently configured to accept either voltage or current signals, accommodating standard industrial sensors and transmitters. The integration of high-resolution digital conversion options and dedicated scaling functions allows for precise data acquisition, delivering reliable metrics directly to the master controller backplane. External connections are consolidated through a high-density 40-pin interface, ensuring secure and compact field wiring.
