SCADA

Introduction:

Recent technical developments in the design and application of wireless technology have revolutionized the networks industry, and industrial applications are well suited to exploit these developments. The focus of this short course is on the adaptation of these technologies to industrial applications, where the demands for high levels of robustness, security and reliability present unique challenges -- and where the operational advantages are compelling.

Audience:

The course is targeted toward technical personnel with a responsibility for specifying, designing, installing, testing and/or maintaining fieldbus and/or sensor networks. This will include managers, engineers, technicians and trades people with responsibility for instrumentation, process control, SCADA systems and production/operation.

Course Objectives:

Very little was assumed about background, other than the general technical knowledge base that active participants in the industry will have. The objective of the course is to position students to appreciate how the TCP/IP Internet infrastructure is accessed and supported via emergent wireless data access networks. 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. Student exercises and other tools are used to enrich the learning process.
