Plc, Hmi And Scada for Industrial Automation and Control Systems

The course aims to equip learners with the foundational knowledge and practical skills necessary to understand and work with three key components of industrial automation: programmable logic controllers (plc), human-machine interfaces (hmi), and supervisory control and data acquisition (scada) systems.

Participants will delve into the internal workings of PLCs, enabling them to understand their hardware, programming, and communication protocols. They will also learn how to design intuitive Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and integrate them with PLCs for seamless control and monitoring. Additionally, participants will explore the capabilities of SCADA systems, which play a pivotal role in data acquisition and process visualization.

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of these technologies and the practical skills needed to apply them in real-world industrial settings.

• Automation has become a crucial element in achieving efficiency, safety, and productivity in the current industrial landscape. Nowadays, industries rely heavily on automation to streamline processes, minimize human error, and collect vital data. This course is designed for a diverse audience, including students, engineers, and technicians who are interested in pursuing a career in industrial automation. 
• Prior experience is not required as the course starts with the basics and gradually builds a strong foundation through theoretical learning and practical exercises. As the course progresses, participants will gain insights into real-world applications and emerging trends that are shaping the future of industrial automation.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the basics of PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems, including their functions and importance in industrial automation.
• Develop practical skills in programming and operating PLCs, designing HMI interfaces, and utilizing SCADA systems. Participants will be able to create essential automation solutions independently using these components.
• Acquire the ability to apply their knowledge to real-world industrial automation scenarios, including troubleshooting common issues and designing simple automation solutions for various industrial applications.
