Course Content
The course covers the structure, functions, and role of SCADA systems in industrial automation. Topics include system architecture, data acquisition, real-time monitoring, alarm management, database connectivity, user interface design, communication protocols, and PLC–SCADA integration. Students perform SCADA screen design and data flow modeling through sample applications.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to enable students to understand the basic principles of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems used in industrial automation. Students gain the ability to design and program a simple SCADA system by learning data acquisition, monitoring, and remote control processes.
