SCADA & HMI Design
This course gives you complete practical training in SCADA and HMI Design, using Wonderware InTouch for SCADA and WinCC Flexible for HMI.
You will learn how to design, create, and connect control screens to monitor and operate systems in real time.
The training focuses on linking SCADA and HMI interfaces with Siemens PLCs such as the S7 300 and S7 1200. You will learn how to visualize data from sensors, motors, and process equipment, and how to build interactive screens that respond to live plant operations.
You will also work on alarms, trends, and data logging features that make your system look and function like a real industrial control room.
By the end of this course, you will be able to design, connect, and test a fully working SCADA and HMI system that communicates directly with a PLC and displays live data.
