Description
This course addresses the devices used to monitor and control processes and equipment in water treatment and distribution systems. The course begins with an overview of device symbols and how they are used to represent systems…then relates those symbols to real world devices.
The course then looks at how a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system connects to sensors, analyzers, and control devices. The course looks at the components of a SCADA system, the facilities/environment the system requires, and the benefits it provides.
Participants will receive a glossary of terms; drawing symbols and naming standards; sample diagrams; descriptions of sensors, analyzers, control devices, and SCADA system components; features of SCADA systems; and references for finding additional information.
