Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) & SCADA System
Course Description
SCADA has traditionally meant a window into the process of a plant and/or a method of gathering of data from devices in the field. Today the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business and using it in real time. In addition to this, today’s emphasis is on using open standards, such as communication protocols (e.g. IEC 60870, DNP3 and TCP/IP) and 'off-the-shelf' hardware and software, as well as focusing on keeping the costs down. PLCs continue to gain in popularity. In fact, many SCADA applications use PLCs as the RTU of choice, when communicating with field devices. This comprehensive workshop covers the essentials of SCADA and PLC systems, which are often used in close association with each other.

This course is designed to benefit you with practical up-to-date information on the application of PLC's and SCADA to the automation and process control of plants and factories. It is suitable for people who have little or no exposure to PLC and SCADA but expect to become involved in so m e or all aspects of PLC installation and SCADA Programming. It aims to give practical advice from experts in the field, to assist you to correctly plan, program m and install a PLC with a shorter learning curve and more confidence.
