为水处理应用指定的电厂计算机控制系统和监控与数据采集（SCADA）系统需要电厂操作员、管理人员和维护人员与计算机系统的接口。今天的软件可以提供惊人的效果和奇妙的显示，但将这些功能应用于一致的用户界面带来了许多挑战，尤其是在大型系统中。良好配置的工厂控制系统与硬件设计同等重要。本文描述并比较了电厂过程控制系统和SCADA系统配置的配置组织程序的方法和结果。 术语配置指整个控制系统的编程。这包括为共同构成计算机控制系统的监控处理器和现场接口处理器编程供应商的标准软件产品。电厂过程控制系统和SCADA系统均使用通用配置程序，这是提供定制配置的可靠方法的基础。

Plant Computer Control Systems and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems specified for water treatment applications require plant operator, management, and maintenance personnel interfaces with the computer system. Amazing effects and wondrous displays are possible with the software available today, but applying these features for consistent user interface poses many challenges, particularly with large systems. A well configured plant control system is equally important as the hardware design. This paper describes and compares the approaches and results of configuration organization procedures on plant process control systems and SCADA system configurations. The term configuration refers to the programming of an entire control system. This includes programming a vendor's standard software product for the supervisory control processor and field interface processors that together comprise the computer control system. Plant process control systems and SCADA systems both use a general configuration procedure that is the basis of a solid approach to providing a custom configuration.
