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.

Integrating programmable logic controllers into enterprise networks requires reliable, high-speed communication interfaces. The Omron CS1W-ETN21 is a robust Ethernet unit designed specifically for the Omron CS-series PLCs. Acting as a CPU Bus Unit, this module provides 100BASE-TX (and 10BASE-T) communication interfaces to seamlessly bridge your industrial automation setup with local area networks, SCADA systems, and high-level industrial software.
With its robust support for various protocols and communication services, the CS1W-ETN21 enables advanced operations such as FINS (Factory Interface Network Service) communications, TCP/IP and UDP/IP socket services, and an integrated FTP server. This versatility allows engineering teams to perform remote programming, diagnostics, and high-capacity data transfers with minimal system overhead.
