Why reporting drives operational decisions in SCADA systems - Test Your Understanding

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to generate a basic report showing system status.

SCADA systems

report = f"System status: [1]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Astatus

Btemperature

Cpressure

Dvoltage

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using sensor values instead of overall status.

The variable status holds the current system status, which is essential for the report.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to log the report with a timestamp.

SCADA systems

log_entry = f"[1] - Report: {report}"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Adate

Bdatetime

Ctime

Dtimestamp

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using just date or time separately instead of full timestamp.

The timestamp variable records the exact time the report was created, which is important for tracking.

hard

Fix the error in the code that filters alerts for critical severity.

SCADA systems

critical_alerts = [alert for alert in alerts if alert.severity [1] 'critical']

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A==

B=

C!=

D=>

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using assignment operator = instead of comparison ==.

The comparison operator == checks if the alert severity equals 'critical'. Using = causes a syntax error.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of sensor readings above threshold.

SCADA systems

high_readings = {sensor.id: sensor.value for sensor in sensors if sensor.value [1] [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A>

Bthreshold

C<

Dlimit

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using less than operator or wrong variable name.

We want readings greater than the threshold, so use > and threshold.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to build a report dictionary with sensor name, value, and status check.

SCADA systems

report = [1]: sensor.name, [2]: sensor.value, [3]: sensor.value > safe_limit

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A"name"

B"value"

C"is_safe"

D"status"

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using unclear or inconsistent key names.

The keys "name", "value", and "is_safe" clearly label the report data.
