Course Description
Industrial data communication is characterized by its operating environment. Electromagnetic interference (EMI), long distances, and physical barriers set industrial communications apart from typical business office requirements. Conventional equipment usually lacks the versatility to adapt to the unique requirements of data monitoring and process control. In response to the growing need for industrial data communications, several purpose-developed industrial data communications devices have entered the marketplace. Their designs are a result of field experience in solving difficult data communications problems and optimizing characteristics for all aspects of reliability and economy. With so many different standards on the market today, the debate is not about what is the best – be it Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, Device Net, or Industrial Ethernet but rather about selecting the most appropriate technologies and standards for a given application and then ensuring that best practice is followed in designing, installing and commissioning the data communications links to ensure they run fault-free. The industrial data communications systems in your plant underpin your entire operation. You must apply best practices in designing, installing, and fixing any problems that may occur. This Course distills all the tips and tricks with the benefit of many years of experience and gives the best-proven practices to follow.
Ethernet, TCP/IP, and Internet technologies are reshaping the way that control, data transfer, and maintenance are being carried out in industrial plants around the world. In this course, you will learn more about the latest developments in networking, including practical tips on testing TCP/IP-based networks and where to safely use an industrial Web intranet. You will also explore the strengths and weaknesses of competing network technologies, including leased services such as T1/T3, Frame Relay, or ADSL, and private systems such as short-haul modems and fiber optics. Special focus will be placed on the questions of security in the industrial setting.
This course provides a thorough understanding of modern industrial data communication including basic communication principles, hardware interfaces such as RS232, communication protocols: ASCII-based protocol, Modbus, and other industrial protocols in peer-to-peer or network environments. Including IEC61850 and their applications in Water and Power systems.
