1.0 out of 5 stars A book with a very specific orientation, March 25, 2002
By 
marcia morales (University of San Carlos, Guatemala) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (Hardcover)
This book is NOT suited for electrical engineers who want to learn SCADA. It is, however, adequate for business men or managers who would like to acquire a general (very general indeed)understanding of SCADA terminology. Themes within the book are treated superficially sometimes, with a greater depth in others (such as when addressing protocols) that is not consistent nor coherent. I do not recommend this book for a Power Systems Engineer, student of such systems, or any electric or electronic engineer that wishes to understand SCADA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for training, February 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (Hardcover)
For training technicians, this book provides an excellent introduction to how SCADA systems work. Most of the more detailed system information requires training and manuals from specific vendors who usually provide good information on their products but little in the way of a system-wide view.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of time and money, October 26, 2005
By 
Info: I read the 3rd edition what was published in 2004.

General: The book is easy to read and does not keep repeating itself. The chapters are ordered in a way that seems logical.

Bookcontent:
70% of the book has nothing to do with SCADA but is informing you on ways of communicating, which can be used for SCADA. This part was written in a time that a 1200 baud modem was state of the art equipment AND THAT WAS NOT 2004! The rest of the book gives you a global idea what the difference is between RTU's and MTU's and what they can do. Based on the fact that the communication part is completely outdated this will be as well. It did not give me any additional information on what I already new.
