Practical SCADA and Telemetry Systems for Industry Training Course
Introduction:
Although the PLC has been with us for more than thirty years, its role in the industrial environment is still subject to much debate and controversy. For many of its early years, its role was confined to simple sequence control and interlocking. Later, however, with the advance of increasingly sophisticated microprocessor technology, analog capability – particularly PID control – became an integral part of the PLC functionality. However, the PLC was essentially blind and it was really only with the advent of the NT-based Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that the PLC/SCADA took on a new life – competing directly with advanced DCS systems.
Course Objectives:
