Introduction:
 
SCADA and Industrial Computing systems managers are at a crossroads, tempted by new developments in technology but cautious because of their mission-critical responsibility. This three-day seminar program 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.
 
Audience:
 

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
 
Course Objectives:
 
The objective of this seminar 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.

Features of Presentation

Each delegate receives a permanent, comprehensive workbook that is much more than a set of lecture notes. These workbook manuals are designed to enable a follow-along presentation reference, and include a comprehensive textbook style subject index, an extensive glossary and a reading list reference section.

Workshop Program

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 complete the hands-on part of the course on their own time.
