I am not an automation engineer. I am a chemical engineer specialized in water treatment, but I know little of SCADA. Programming a PLC is supper easy for my applications and usually all I need is to control a valve or two, to control dosing pumps, read modbus data, store it and make reports with it. That is also achievable with influx and grafana in an industrial computer.

But in this particular application I want to control other equipment with human input, thus a SCADA is needed.

I don’t like the proprietary software of Siemens or Schneider. That’s why I was wondering if there is another option.

Maybe I should be thinking in HMI and not a SCADA.

I use Ubuntu as a noob coming from MacOS, and everything is going just fine. I am loving the Linux experience.

In my opinion, knowing how to work with the terminal is important and being confident with it as well.

Also, there is a lot of youtube videos and channels of very helpful people.
