    Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System

    The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has been introduced to allow control of plants in isolated areas where it is not practical to run physical wiring.  This reduces the need for an operator to be stationed in an isolated area for long periods of time. The heart of the SCADA system is its ability to gather information and provide two-way communication over long distances through wireless technology to a central control room.  The course will cover the benefits of SCADA systems and how they impact real time control remotely.

    As the course progresses, participants will gain knowledge covering the hardware of the SCADA system - sensors, actuators and wiring used as well as interfaces used to monitor the process and its economic benefits. 

    Upon completion of the course, participants will be made aware of topics such as real time control, hardwired and wireless communication methods used in the SCADA system and the limitations of the SCADA systems.  This course will allow each technician, with further on-job training and experience to be able to attend more advanced training and enhance their capabilities, knowledge and skills. 

    This course is mainly targeted to process technicians working in the field as an introduction or refresher.  The course can be applicable to technicians working in other disciplines, equipment purchasers, procurement and storage personnel, job planners and immediate supervisors to the working technicians.

    Anyone taking this course should have some exposure to oil and gas facility terminology.
