SCADA Power Unlock Your Potential

Course overview

How does SCADA operate and what is it?

All kinds of industrial processes are controlled by SCADA, which may help you run your business more profitably while also boosting productivity and efficiency. SCADA is a type of application rather than a clear-cut technology.

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. In fact, when interacting with field devices, many SCADA program choose to use PLCs as their RTU of choice. The fundamentals of SCADA and PLC systems, which are commonly used in close conjunction with one another, are covered in this comprehensive course.

The goal of this course is to provide participants with useful, current knowledge on how to automate and control processes in factories and plants using SCADA and PLCs. It is appropriate for those who are new to PLC and SCADA but anticipate being engaged in some or all parts of SCADA programming and PLC installation.

With a smaller learning curve and greater confidence, it seeks to help you develop, code, and install a PLC effectively by offering practical guidance from subject matter experts in the industry. Although this course is suitable for engineers who are new to PLCs and SCADA, much of the extra information in the substantial manual will be helpful to those who already possess the fundamental knowledge but want a broader perspective for larger and more difficult jobs ahead. Even the most seasoned engineer in the field today would be challenged and tested by the material covered in this course as it progresses from the fundamentals.

Introduction

With examples of real-world operating PLC and SCADA systems in the water, electrical, and processing industries, and a variety of real-world case studies are used to illustrate the key ideas. This course will be a great opportunity for you to network with your peers and pick up useful new information and techniques for your next SCADA project.

The foundations of PLC and SCADA systems will be presented, despite the course’s emphasis on practical industrial themes that emphasize current advances through case studies and the most recent applications of these technologies.

The course is designed for students who want to stay current on the latest advancements in PLC and SCADA systems and who want to get a strong understanding of the principles and basics of PLC, SCADA, and telemetry design, installation, and troubleshooting.

Systems for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and programmable logic controllers (PLC) are covered in this Training Bee course. Participants will learn how extremely large industrial processes, such as those utilized in oil fields, pipelines, and electrical power systems, may be successfully monitored and controlled by combining remote sensing and actuation with contemporary communication tools.

We are The Training Bee, a global training and education firm providing services in many countries. We are specialized in capacity building and talent development solutions for individuals and organizations, with our highly customized programs and training sessions.

Major SCADA applications, SCADA system components, and architecture will all be covered in this course. The design, setup, installation, upkeep, and programming of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) are defined and explained in the course.

Lessons Learned

The most important lesson learned from SCADA Training Certification is that implementing a secure SCADA system is a complex and involved process that requires a thorough understanding of SCADA architecture, protocols, components, controls, and security protocols. Choosing the correct security measures and properly configuring them requires careful consideration of all aspects of the system, from the physical devices to the application platform and communication protocols. Once implemented, continuous monitoring and maintenance of the system is required to ensure that the system is secure and functioning properly.
