Practical SCADA and Telemetry System Training Course

Introduction

In the rapidly evolving industrial landscape, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and safe operation of various processes. SCADA systems provide real-time monitoring and control, enabling operators to make informed decisions, optimize production, and respond swiftly to any anomalies. For instrumentation and control engineers, proficiency in SCADA tools is not just beneficial but essential. These tools are integral to the design, implementation, and maintenance of complex automation systems that drive industries such as oil and gas, water management, manufacturing, and more. This training course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to harness the power of SCADA systems effectively.

This training course will highlight the following topics:

  • SCADA System Architecture and Components
  • Telemetry Communication Protocols
  • HMI Design and Development
  • SCADA System Security Measures
  • Advanced Features and Trend Analysis

Objectives

    By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

    • Understand SCADA System Architecture and Components
    • Configure and Program SCADA Systems
    • Implement Telemetry Systems
    • Enhance SCADA System Security and Maintenance
    • Apply Advanced SCADA Features and Techniques

Training Methodology

This Practical SCADA and Telemetry System training course is delivered via a series of mixed activities which will involve delegate participation. Theoretical content is delivered by informal lecture and discussion and supplemented where appropriate with tutorial sessions using worked examples. An opportunity is given for delegates to perform their own calculations based on sample systems. An important part of the program is the hands-on aspect. Approximately, a quarter of the total time will be devoted to practical activities. Delegates will acquire the skills to design their own instrumentation system from a given sensor(s) and specification.
