Course Introduction
This course is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and the practical issues of SCADA systems. Particular emphasis has been placed on the practical aspects of SCADA systems with a view to the future. Formulae and details that can be found in specialized manufacturer manuals. have been purposely committed in favour of concepts and definitions. It provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and terminology used in the field of SCADA. It is a summary of the main subjects to be covered throughout the course. SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) has been around as long as there have been control systems.
Network Security
The first ‘SCADA’ systems utilized data acquisition by means of panels of meters, lights and strip chart recorders. The operator manually operating various control knobs exercised supervisory control. These devices were and still are used to do supervisory control and data acquisition on plants, factories and power generating facilities. The second part of this course covers the application of SCADA systems for the monitoring and control of manufacturing facilities within a single site. It also covers the additional elements that are common to all SCADA systems. These include Alarm Management, Human Management Interface (HMI), Network Security, SCADA Historians, Troubleshooting, Maintenance and Specification issues.
