Abstract

This paper concerned an application of SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) in the field of electronics. In this paper, authors build up controlled simulation of Thevenin Theorem in the interest of student's practical work. A Wonderware (Intouch 9.0 – Demo), SCADA system was used to build up simulation. Visual basic language is used to program appropriate components of simulation to obtain identical simulation. Entire simulations build up in two separate parts in a single combined application. One Part will provide experimental platform of actual circuit containing three resistors and one source. Second Part provides equivalent replaced circuit containing one source and one resistor as per Thevenin theorem. Simulation contain all required components like Variable Power source, Voltmeter, Ameter, Cables, Resistors which were used in the actual experiment. A group of students were examined to determine the capability of simulation model.

Keywords
