Fundamentals of SCADA and Telemetry is divided into three parts, each covering key aspects of modern SCADA systems.
Part 1 – High-Performance HMI introduces a design philosophy that enhances operator effectiveness, especially during abnormal situations. Developed by PAS Company in 2008 and now an industry standard, it emphasizes practices like hierarchical design, smart use of color, pattern recognition, and data contextualization, while also addressing operator ergonomics, control room layout, and managing change.
Part 2 – Secure in the Cloud focuses on Cloud-based SAAS concepts, emphasizing security from field systems to Cloud-resident SCADA servers. Participants will explore the benefits and risks of connected systems, addressing key questions about internet accessibility and security threats.
Part 3 – Overcoming Telemetry and SCADA Issues for Remote Sites offers tools and strategies for addressing connectivity challenges, environmental obstacles, and aging infrastructure. Demonstrations of cellular and radio telemetry systems provide scalable solutions to maintain reliability, reduce manual interventions, and enhance efficiency. This course blends technical insights, cost-effective strategies, and case studies to improve scalability and sustainability in water and wastewater monitoring systems.
