SKILLS / MAIN GOALS
At the end of this module the students will be capable of developing SCADA systems for automatic machines and processes with resources such as sinoptics, alarm summary, trends and so on.
CONTENTS
CONTENTS
SCADA systems: brief historical context, main concepts,
Structure: hardware and software components, interaction to controllers and other systems, communication drivers and OPC servers.
Programming environment and tools and its main features and resources: tags, screens, user interface components, real-time databases, trends, historical data recording and exhibition, animation, user management.
Development of projects: understanding the project requirements, planning the system, defining architecture, develop, test and validate.
GAMIFIED CONTEXT
GAMIFIED CONTEXT
In this module the student finds out that there are lots of opportunities to improve the factory’s results through better tuning the PID controllers in machines and processes. So the team leader recommends studying and developing PID controllers to 3 equipment which are available for tests.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Students will learn the contents by developing SCADA systems for machines and processes and simulating them in the platform's virtual environments.
TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS
TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS
In this module, the student will be presented to 3 toos: Codesys Visualization, Elipse E3 and Siemens Wincc. Codesys is free. Elipse E3 and Siemens WinCC are payed softwares but they have have trial versions. The Elipse E3 Demo works forever but with a tag limitation which brings no problem to the module progress. The WinCC trial runs fully operational for 21 days, so the student must install and work on the challenge with WinCC in at most 21 days in order to finish within the trial period.
CHALLENGE/TASK VALIDATION
CHALLENGE/TASK VALIDATION
In the SCADA module the students are required to answers questions in forms, as well as to upload small videos with limited duration, and attach the link when delivering the tasks.
