IICA together with the ISA is holding an Industrial Wireless Systems workshop in North Melbourne on Tuesday 24th February, focussing on the ISA100 standard.
The course will cover the most relevant details associated with industrial wireless systems with an emphasis towards how the various technological choices coexist, interoperate and interact with each other.
Numerous examples of real-world deployments are covered for facilities such as SCADA systems, petrochemical plants, electrical power generation and transmission systems.
On completion of the course, attendees will have gained the following skills, according to IICA:
• Describe today’s wireless offerings for industrial automation
• Understand the security needs of the IT department
• Understand how wireless applications utilising different wireless technologies may interplay at your plant
• Identify if a combination of schemes is needed in your plant
