PRESENTED BY EDWIN WRIGHT

B.Sc B.E. (Hons) (Elec) MIPENZ Senior Staff Engineer

Edwin has over 35 years of practical experience in the planning, design, construction and operation of telecommunication systems, data networks and SCADA systems. He has also been involved as Project Manager on many SCADA and telecommunications projects and has a passion for technology topics. He is the co-author of a number of best selling books, including: Practical Data Communications for Instrumentation and Control Practical SCADA for Industry Practical Industrial Data Networks: Design, Installation and Troubleshooting Modern SCADA Protocols

PRESENTATION FORMAT
The certificate program is conducted by E-Learning, and features real-world applications using a multi-pronged approach involving selfstudy, interactive on-line webcasts and homework assignments with a mentor on call. The course consists of 12 modules over a period of 3 months. All modules involve a practical component or group activity. For each module there will be an initial reading assignment along with course work or problems to be handed in. Participants will have ongoing support from their instructor via phone, fax and e-mail. Course reading material will be delivered in electronic (PDF) format in advance of on-line presentations. Presentations and group discussions will be conducted using a live interactive software system. Assignments will be submitted via e-mail. You will receive 4 technical manuals in hard copy upon completion.

Edwin has published numerous papers, and consulted widely on SCADA, OPC, data communications and telecommunications issues in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Over the past eleven years more than 15,000 engineers and technicians have attended his workshops worldwide. Delegates attending his workshop will benefit from his tremendous knowledge and enthusiasm for the topics and his entertaining instructing style. When not working in the communications world he relaxes by reading and writing on technology issues at his beachside home.

12 MODULES OVER 3 MONTHS

OVERVIEW
This course covers the essential elements of SCADA systems with particular emphasis on the DNP3 protocol, with an overview of the IEC 60870.5 and IEC 61850 protocols as well as new developments in this area. The course commences with a review of the fundamentals of SCADA systems hardware, software and the communications systems that connect the outstations to the SCADA Master control station. The RS-232 and RS-485 interface standards are reviewed, along with MODBUS, Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols. The application of both Local Area and Wide Area networks for SCADA system communications is also covered. A detailed explanation of the DNP 3 protocol is given, where the features, message structure, practical benefits and applications are discussed. The course is intended to be product independent but examples will be taken from existing products to ensure that all aspects of the DNP 3 protocols are covered. Examples are given of the configuration issues for DNP3 operation over both low speed serial (eg Radio links) and high speed LAN and WAN networks. An overview of the IEC 60870.5 and IEC 61850 protocols and their areas of application is given as well as new developments in this area. The application of Fieldbus protocols in SCADA systems is also covered. This course provides you with the tools to design your next SCADA system more effectively using DNP 3 to draw on the latest technologies.

LIVE WEBCASTS
During the program you will participate in 6 live interactive sessions with the instructor and other participants from around the world. Each webcast will be scheduled at 2 varying times, so you can select one that is most convenient for you. All you need to participate is an adequate Internet connection and a headset with a microphone. During the live webcasts you will have the opportunity to learn and discuss the techniques and procedures used in the design and engineering of complex process plants and piping systems. The software package and setup details will be sent to you prior to the course. Session times to be confirmed upon registration.
