Description
The subject aims to give the student the skills to design and build Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) and distributed control systems software using graphical programming techniques
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Acquire the necessary skills to produce visual models of real world events
2.
Demonstrate a proficiency in the design and development of a HMI
3.
Broaden a knowledge of the theory behind and techniques employed in program design
4.
Use visual programming techniques (i.e. Labview) to interface with industrial hardware
5.
Understand the function and application of networking protocols
6.
Understand the deployment of SCADA software for the development of increasingly complex tasks.
7.
Be able to implement remote telemetry over a Client/Server architecture.
8.
Understand OPC Server and Client communication.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Weekly lecture - 1 hour
Weekly Laboratory work - 2 hours
Module Assessment Strategies
The students will be asked to develop an interactive project, suitable for the process industry. The
project will be conducted in the students own time using the skill developed during class.
The student will be continuously assessed on practical work conducted in class. The work will be
based directly on skills learned during the practical class.
The final examination will be based on material covered during in lectures
Repeat Assessments

A SCADA system gathers information, such as where a leak on a pipeline has occurred, transfers the information back to a central site, alerting the home station that the leak has occurred, carrying out necessary analysis and control, such as determining if the leak is critical, and displaying the information in a logical and organized fashion. SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that monitors environmental conditions of a small office building, or incredibly complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant or the activity of a municipal water system.
An engineer's introduction to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and their application in monitoring and controlling equipment and industrial plant
Essential reading for data acquisition and control professionals in plant engineering, manufacturing, telecommunications, water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining and transportation
Provides the knowledge to analyse, specify and debug SCADA systems, covering the fundamentals of hardware, software and the communications systems that connect SCADA operator stations
