Introduction

PLC, Telemetry and SCADA Technologies

Objectives

The main objectives of this PLC, Telemetry and SCADA Technologies training course are:

  • To give an understanding of the operation, architecture and use of an industry standard PLC for Control purposes
  • By using  a  hands-on  approach,  enable  the  delegate  to  investigate  the operation of the PLC through designing, building and testing typical programs in the ladder programming language using industry standard PLC’s in a simulated environment
  • To allow the delegate to become familiar and confident with the PLC, Telemetry and SCADA environments
  • To understand the concepts of Radio Telemetry and acquire the knowledge relating to the application, limitation and use of frequency bands used
  • To gain an  understanding and knowledge of common wire based communication protocols
  • To disseminate and share experience and knowledge with other delegates through open session discussions hence broadening the knowledge base of all
  • To become familiar and knowledgeable with an industry compliant SCADA software package
  • To have the confidence and knowledge to apply the above techniques and principles to solve unfamiliar and bespoke situations in the workplace
