AUTOMATION PLC SCADA TRAINING

Learning of Automation PLC SCADA

Automation is one of the most simple and robust technologies in the world. Learning it takes a bit of effort, as knowledge in Automation needs to be polished from time to time with the latest updates. SMEClabs itself being an Automation company offers you all the latest advancements from time to time. An Automation Engineer is one who has skills not just in programming but also has remarkable skills in the following:

• Programming
• Communication
• Interfacing
• Panel Building
• Hardware Configuration
• Assembly
• Wiring
• Channel Configuration
• Testing
• Troubleshooting

One should have skills to determine the exact I/O card configuration, power supply required, determination of safety measures etc. To be an Automation Engineer who can create wonders, one should work out various exercises and develop skill in Troubleshooting. The entire process starting from programming to interfacing should be done repeatedly. The study of PLCs would only cover 40% of technology that Automation is involved in. Automation is actually the study of Automation tools where one is taught programming, installation and troubleshooting of these tools. The major tools of Automation are as follows:

• PLC – Programmable Logic Controller
• PAC – Programmable Automation Controller
• DCS – Distributed Control System
• SCADA – Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition
• HMI – Human Machine Interface
• VFD – Variable Frequency Drives
• RTU – Remote Terminal Units
• Power Supply Modules
• Relays
• Fuses

Another important point to be acknowledged is that, there are various brands that support Automation and as brands change the UI changes, Communication protocols change, Hardware configuration change, functionalities change, etc. Thus it is very important to be a master in the leading and most widely used brands in the market while the others remain a copy of these brands. Such top-class widely used brands are as given below:

• AB – Allen Bradley
• ABB – ASEA Brown Boveri
• SIEMENS
• Schneider Electric
• Honeywell
• Emerson
• Yokogawa
• GE – General Electric
• Omron
• Mitsubishi
• Delta

So always keep in mind, to be a master Automation Engineer, it is very important to be focused and have knowledge that is self-gained, where one gets to repeatedly work with disassembly and assembly of Automation systems starting from programming to successful installation and testing.
