Practical SCADA and Telemetry Systems for Industry Training Course
Introduction:
Despite being around for almost thirty years, there is still a great deal of discussion and disagreement regarding the PLC's place in the industrial setting. Its function was limited to interlocking and basic sequence control for a large portion of its early existence. But later on, when more advanced microprocessor technology developed, analog capability—specifically, PID control—became a crucial component of PLC operation. But before NT-based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems were developed, the PLC was effectively blind. Only then did the PLC/SCADA become viable and start to directly compete with sophisticated DCS systems.
Course Objectives:
On successful completion of this workshop delegates will be able to:
