Managers of SCADA
systems and industrial
networks are at
a crossroads,
tempted by new
developments in
technology but
cautious because
of their mission-critical
responsibility.
This three-day
training course
is designed to
present SCADA
and Industrial
Computing personnel
with a clear understanding
of just how their
environment is
being redefined
as a result of
revolutionary
changes in supporting
technology.
The objective
of this course
is to provide
an intensive,
systematic treatment
of classical solutions
and new developments
in SCADA technology,
and deliver a
thoroughly up-to-date
view of emerging
trends in this
critical industry
segment.
SCADA and Industrial
Computing Applications;
Fundamentals,
Principles and
Emerging Trends
delivers essential
information for
technical professionals,
operators and
managers who need
to understand
and deal effectively
with this class
of computer-based
networked systems.
Typical delegates
include:
• SCADA
Systems Personnel;
Novice, Intermediate
and Senior
• Process
Engineers and
Managers
• Operations
and Maintenance
Managers, Engineers
and Technicians
• Hardware
and Instrument
Specialists
• Business
System Analysts
Who Support SCADA
Interfaces
• System
and Application
Programmers
• Project
Managers
• Telecommunications
Support Personnel
This course is
presented as a
workshop program,
where the tasks
of developing
key components
of a SCADA system
are pursued. A
case-study project
is developed,
where a hypothetical
new pipeline project
is to be built
through mostly
wilderness territory,
and are coached
in dealing with
these tasks:
- Analyze timing
and data volumes
and prepare
a traffic budget
- Prepare a
provisional
instrument interface
format
- Develop a
communications
strategy
- Prepare a
master station
plan
This course includes
a hands-on workshop
component, in
which students
have opportunity
to explore some
of the important
concept features
of the Modbus
SCADA protocol
and view/analyze
its operational
features. If the
hands-on activity
is impractical
due to lack of
computers, students
will be guided
through an in-class
demonstration
of the workshop
elements, and
be left with software
to replicate the
hands-on part
of the course
on their own time.
