How Will This Course Benefit You?
First and foremost, I am an authorized SCADA integrator with many projects under my belt and it's one of my favorite topic to cover as an instructor SCADA is one of the major components in Industrial Automation, or maybe the most important as it enables complete centralized plant automation (locally) or SITE automation (remotely). It is widely used for utilities monitoring, energy monitoring and control or water treatment plants and now with many advancements it is widely being used locally within plants.

SCADA lies at Level-2 in the Automation Pyramid ISA-95 model. I have already covered in detail the plc programming and hmi designing in Level-1 Siemens S7-1200 Course and have covered advanced topics such as profinet, sql database, IO Link in Siemens Level 2. Now in level-3 I have covered SCADA designing from scratch and covered all the core concepts and topics that are required to execute SCADA projects hands on.

I designed this course for beginners as well as professionals to enable them to learn SCADA, Designing, Programming and Interfacing or creating run time. For this course you don’t need hardware at all and I'll provide Siemens WinCC SCADA software trial version along with other SCADA free software. However, I’ll cover hardware as well for students who wish to carry out projects using PLCs. (RTUs are not the part of this course)

The course will cover basic to advanced concepts of SCADA designing, programming and interfacing techniques to groom students in the field of Industrial Automation. Course will provide advanced knowledge and fair insight into how SCADA works and is implemented.

I’ll be using S7-1200 PLC hardware just to enable students to understand the hardware configuration, wiring and troubleshooting with SCADA however we will be using simulation mode as well to freely simulate SCADA without any hardware.
