Graduate Certificate in Programmable Logic Controllers and SCADA

Programmable Logic Controllers and SCADA play a key role in the Industrial Automation Engineering. The Graduate Certificate in Programmable Logic Controllers and SCADA covers knowledge and skills covers knowledge and skills underpinning the fundamentals of programmable controllers used in industrial automation as well as apply their knowledge for their operation, networking, distributed controllers, and programming control strategies. Additionally, the program will introduce students to SCADA systems hardware and software, a review of typical DCS and SCADA systems, examines DCS controllers and configuration.

The learning outcomes of the course is designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to address issues with the evaluation and design of programmable controllers (associated with hardware equipment) for designing an industrial process automation solution as well as planning and managing the selection, design, installation, configuration and programming for supervisory needs in the control of process plants.
