Name of the Course       SCADA/ HMI System Development

 

Duration                         2 WEEKS

Starting date                  28th April 2008

Course code                   PC106

 

Preamble

 

As radio developed in the 1960’s, the first digital computers made their first appearance in remote process monitoring and control. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a system that allows an operator to monitor and control processes that are distributed among various remote sites. SCADA collects, analyze and graphically display all of the information related to processes. Using a SCADA system, occurrence of various process events can be notified and recorded so that operators can take corrective action. Also alarms can be generated depending on the process condition.
The SCADA software improved dramatically and the use of computers in SCADA systems increased at an explosive rate.

 

Objective of the Course

 

This course is designed for fresh/working people who want to learn and develop projects with SCADA and wish to gain experience in designing and configuring advanced HMI/SCADA software packages like National Instruments LabVIEW DSC module along with different systems/components in SCADA.

 

Outcome of the Course

 

After attending the course the student will become familiar with the basic aspects of  HMI/SCADA packages Intellution’s iFIX and National Instruments LabVIEW DSC module. He will learn to use the graphical editor tools whereby the whole process can be visualized. Alarm handling, Historical Trending and basic knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications will also be part of this course. Other aspects such as connectivity with OPC, ActiveX controls, networks, are also part of it. The student will be able to learn/apply HMI development, Data Acquisition Systems, PLC/RTU interfaces, RTU/MTU communications, Database linking, OPC, ActiveX controls etc. This gives student a full-fledged practical exposure in developing SCADA system.

Location & how to reach

 

DOEACC CENTRE Calicut is located very near to NIT (REC) campus and is about 22Kms from the Calicut (Kozhikode) city. A number of buses [Buses to NIT via Kunnamangalam] are available from "Palayam Bus Stand or KSRTC Bus Stand". Our stop is called "Panthrand" & is one stop before NIT. The bus fare is Rs.10/- from Calicut City to DOEACC Centre and is on the right side.

The Calicut (Kozhikode) is well connected by Rail, Road and Air form different parts of the country. The climatic conditions in Calicut are perhaps one of the best in India throughout the year. The maximum and minimum temperatures range between 35 and 20os. The cool breeze further adds the comfort.
