Preface

. . .

              Now days when we hear about "industrial automation" we immediately think of industrial robots and computer controllers. In fact, automation in craft and industry began much earlier with the utilization of the steam engine by James Watt in 1769, when for the first time a machine could replace manpower or horsepower. 

          Since then automation proved to be an extremely beneficial tool in industries; utilizing automation technologies have increased profit of industries and resulted in better consumer satisfaction. Manufacturing processes have become more reliable and safe even when operated at high speeds. In time Industrial Automation has emerged as a discrete branch of engineering and technology. Practical exposure of Industrial Automation tools such as PLC, HMI, SCADA and industrial instrumentation has benefited engineering graduates, who are preparing themselves for the core industry. Candidates possessing knowledge of IA have experienced better results in PSUs and Gov. Sector interviews and higher perks.
             
          This course on Industrial Automation and Process Control is structured to walk you through various automation activities of a plant while it covers all the major aspects of Automation Technologies and its utilization in industry. We would be starting from the basics, while we gradually increase towards the completion regular exercises will help you to acquire expertise in:

• ·         Programmable Logic Controller(Siemens)

• ·         Ladder language programming of PLC’s

• ·         Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Designing

• ·         Human Machine Interface (HMI) Designing

• ·         Electrical Panel and Circuit Designing

Hopefully you will enjoy your session,

 Best of luck.
