SCADA Training Course
This Satoms SCADA Training Course gives technicians and technical learners a clear, practical foundation in how SCADA systems are built, operated, monitored, and maintained. You will learn how SCADA fits into industrial automation, how PLCs and RTUs connect to field devices, how data moves through communications networks, and how operators use HMI screens, alarms, trends, and commands to support safe process control.
By completing this course, learners will be better prepared to read SCADA screens, understand common faults, and communicate more confidently with automation, maintenance, and operations teams.
The course is vendor-aware without being locked to one platform, so the principles apply to environments such as Ignition, Wonderware, Siemens, and other industrial SCADA systems. It is designed to help you build credible SCADA fundamentals before working around live systems, supporting maintenance tasks, or progressing to platform-specific configuration training.
What You Will Learn
- How Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems monitor and control industrial processes
- The practical roles of PLCs, RTUs, sensors, actuators, HMIs, SCADA servers, historians, and communications links
- How SCADA tags, scaling, alarms, trends, and events are used in daily operations
- How operator commands, interlocks, permissives, and control authority typically work between SCADA and PLC logic
- How common SCADA communications and remote site connections are structured
- How to recognize SCADA faults, data issues, communication failures, and alarm problems
- How cybersecurity awareness, user access, and safe operating practices apply to SCADA systems
