Industrial Maintenance, Inspection, Testing & Corrosion Courses


PLC, Telemetry & SCADA Technologies Training

Introduction:

This highly relevant, industrially based PLC, SCADA, telemetry, and technologies training course will update the skills and knowledge of Technicians and Engineers alike. It is ‘hands-on’ using industry-standard PLCs in a simulated environment. Through this approach, the delegate will progress from learning the fundamentals of PLC applications to writing, debugging, and finally designing their programs.

Radio and wire-based telemetry systems, essential for understanding modern communication methods deployed in the field, are also studied and explained. These are vital for comprehensively understanding their use with programmable controllers and any Instrumentation/Controller remote application.

This PLC, SCADA, telemetry, and technologies course also includes a study of modern SCADA technologies. Again, the delegate will acquire new and updated skills essential in any fast-moving industrial environment with a hands-on approach using a modern industrially compliant SCADA software package.

Telemetry and SCADA in Industrial Automation:

Telemetry technology and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are integral to modern industrial automation. Understanding what telemetry is in technology and how telemetry SCADA systems function can significantly enhance the capabilities of engineers and technicians in managing complex control systems.

This PLC, SCADA, telemetry, and technologies course will delve into the specifics of SCADA telemetry solutions and explore how they can be used to monitor, control, and optimize industrial processes.
