This is a highly relevant, industrially based training course that will update the skills and knowledge of Technicians and Engineers alike. This GLOMACS PLC, Telemetry & SCADA Technologies training course is ‘hands-on’ using industry standard PLC’s in a simulated environment. Through this approach the delegate will progress from learning the fundamentals of PLC application to writing, debugging and finally designing their own programs.
Radio and wire based telemetry systems, essential for an understanding of modern communication methods deployed in the field are also studied and explained. These are vital for a comprehensive understanding in their use with not only programmable controllers but any Instrumentation / Controller remote application.
This GLOMACS PLC, Telemetry & SCADA Technologies training course also includes a study of modern SCADA technologies. Again, together with a hands-on approach using a modern industrially compliant SCADA software package, the delegate will acquire new and updated skills essential in any fast moving industrial environment.
Some of the main topics covered include:
A study and explanation of the PLC for Control purposes
Understanding through ‘hands-on’ approach using industry standard PLC’s in a simulated environment of PLC programming – design and debugging
Investigation of Radio telemetry methods, frequencies used and application and limitation of each frequency band
Case study in the design of a Radio Telemetry link
Study of commonly used wire based telemetry methods and protocols such as RS232 and RS485
Investigation of SCADA, its structure and application. Understanding of a typical SCADA application through a hands-on approach using an industry compliant SCADA software package
Objectives
The main objectives of this GLOMACS training seminar 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
Training Methodology
This GLOMACS PLC, Telemetry & SCADA Technologies training seminar is delivered via a series of mixed activities that will at times involve delegate participation.
Theoretical content is delivered by informal lecture and discussion and supplemented where appropriate with tutorial sessions using worked examples.
An important part of this GLOMACS training course is the hands-on aspect. Using industry compliant software and PLCs, approximately a third of the total time will be devoted to practical activities. Delegates will acquire the skills and confidence to investigate, debug and where necessary modify and/or design their own control systems employing a PLC.
Organisational Impact
By attending this GLOMACS training seminar, delegates will return to their organisations more confident in the knowledge and use of PLC, Telemetry and SCADA systems.
More specifically, they will:
Be equipped with new skills and knowledge which must impact positively within the company structure
Be able to evaluate the suitability and application of current in-house PLC / SCADA systems and offer guidance and advise on whether such systems may be modified or improved
Consequently be able to leverage their skills to potentially cause an increase within the plant or process in terms of overall productivity and efficiency through analysis of current systems
Be better equipped to advise on new system communication installations in terms of evaluating choices between radio and wire based telemetry systems
Potentially through their newly acquired knowledge and understanding of PLC systems and their integration into a SCADA system using a variety of digital communication standards and telemetry links be able to advise system designers, thereby negating or at least reducing the dependency on external agencies and vendors
Therefore potentially contribute towards and result in plant and process cost reductions leading to financial savings for the company
Personal Impact
The delegate will benefit personally from attendance of this GLOMACS training seminar and will enhance their own knowledge base and level of confidence in the area of PLC, SCADA and Telemetry systems.
Specifically, delegates will be able to:
Return to their organisations equipped with new skills and knowledge that will enable them to understand, analyse, and optimise their own plant requirements in terms of PLC and SCADA systems
Design, construct, download and evaluate PLC programs written in a standard programming language to meet a given specification
Develop a working knowledge of basic and advanced PLC and SCADA programming techniques
Predict the suitability of a Radio telemetry system by a study of the terrain under investigation and by gaining a knowledge of the operating parameters of the frequency bands available
Make informed decisions on methods of conveying data from RTU’s by an acquired understanding of commonly used wire based data communication protocols such as RS232 and RS485
Upgrade their level of confidence in PLC based systems and determine the appropriateness of new system design in terms of PLC / SCADA or a DCS configuration
Who Should Attend?
This GLOMACS PLC, Telemetry & SCADA Technologies training seminar is suitable for and is designed to attract and be of benefit to a range of people who work in the Control and Instrumentation process and plant areas.
