TOPICS

1

 Hardware and software architecture of HMI and SCADA systems and their integration with computer based systems for business and management administration for total control  of  plants and enterprises.

2

 Creation of process data base and linking   of data from data base with graphic symbols and pictorial and alphanumerical presentation on operators panels. Process data base population and relationships between database and external process data. Centralized and distributed  process databases. 

3

Communication within the distributed network architecture of  HMI and SCADA systems. Master-Slave, Server-Client, Producer-Consumer

4

Protocols used within HMI-SCADA systems in information exchange: DDE, NETDDE, COM, DCOM,  OPC, CORBA, TCP/IP, DCL. Internet enabled HMI-SCADA systems ( Thin client, OPC XML ). Process browsers and process and business data integration.

5

 OPC drivers connecting distributed sources of process data with Operator stations of HMI-SCADA  systems. Technologies of ActiveX, COM, DCOM  and CORBA, in build-up of OPC Client-Server architecture. Possibilities of using OPC drivers in connecting and integration of  process and business monitoring and control systems.

6

Interconnection of process databases with   business relational databases ( ORACLE, MS ACCESS, SQL SERVER), in real time, using ODBC and SQL calls.

7

Communication drivers and protocol converters in HMI-SCADA systems in connection of heterogeneous PC-DCS-PLC systems. Interconnection of  disparate types of fields and process buses  with HMI-SCADA systems.

8

Implementation of real time and historical trending and data logging within HMI software packages. Proprietary solutions, and solutions based on OPC historical data server, ( OPC HDA) and ADO/OLEDB data access  to databases storing historical data. Data mining techniques for data analysis.

9

Software implementation of control and monitoring functions within HMI-SCADA software packages. SoftPLC and soft computing.

10

  Implementation of  time stamping for alarms and events and sorting and presentation of real time and historical alarms and events lists in chronological order, type and status of alarm or events. Proprietary  solutions and solutions based on OPC standards           (Alarms&Events and HDA  Server ).

11-14

 Case studies of   and  work with some of the  most popular  HMI-SCADA software packages including:  , IWS of Indusoft , Genesis32 of Iconics,  WinCC of Siemens.
