This course offers a more advanced study into plant floor control and supervision. Students are introduced to the components of a computerized system, and progress to advanced topics including an analogue signal handling, timers and counters, and how discrete and analogue values can be passed from one Programmable Logic Controller to another. Students develop an understanding of modern plant-wide control systems. These systems rely on merging technologies, such as computers, Programmable Logic Controllers, operator interfaces, and micro processor based plant-floor devices, together into a Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Prerequisite: WTTP 2700 and WTTP 2710 and WTTP 2720 and WTTP 2730 and WTTP 2740 or equivalent. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of WTTP 2820 or WTTP 2821.
