SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System)

BACKGROUND

In this hyper competitive market era, the technology has been changed significantly in last two decade. The real maintenance data is strongly influenced to the decision will be made. A Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this data to a central computer which then manages and controls the data. SCADA is a term that is used broadly to portray control and management solutions in a wide range of industries. Some of the industries where SCADA is used are Water Management Systems, Electric Power, Traffic Signals, Mass Transit Systems, Environmental Control Systems, and Manufacturing Systems. One of key processes of SCADA is the ability to monitor an entire system in real time. This is facilitated by data acquisitions including meter reading, checking statuses of sensors, etc that are communicated at regular intervals depending on the system. Besides the data being used by the Remote Terminal Units RTU, it is also displayed to a human that is able to interface with the system to override settings or make changes when necessary.

This four days course enhances your performance on theoretical analysis and real work in term of a handling SCADA System at the plant facilities. This course is also designed to allow engineers for design from scratch, modify and add-on to existing SCADA systems, use the system as a fault finding tool and have an appreciation of the potential of systems.

OBJECTIVES:

1. Learn the core concepts of fundamental SCADA system & application in industry.
2. Understand how to modify the existing SCADA systems without avoid the safety aspects.
3. Learn how implement the SCADA system as a basic to control production program
4. Understand Human Machine Interface
5. Obtain skills for the configuration and lay-out of SCADA system
