Training for System Integrators:  WebAccess HMI / SCADA software

Who should Attend:

Engineers, maintenance, and support personnel required to setup and maintain a Broadwin's WebAccess HMI/SCADA system. This course is designed for system integrators, engineers and technicians who are new to Broadwin WebAccess software.

Prerequisites:
A working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows® program interface along with a working knowledge of PLC or DCS I/O addressing, and fundamental DCS or PLC programming concepts. User level knowledge of Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, 2003, XP Professional or Vista Business is preferred. Familiarity with a IE 6.0 or IE 7.0 Web browser and Windows 98 is a minimum requirement.  Familiarity with automation, control and your application would also be helpful. Sketches, logo bitmaps and DXF files (AutoCAD release 13 compatible) of planned graphic displays are useful.

Objectives:

• Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 
• Create a new project. 
• Modify an existing project. 
• Configure Ethernet and serial communications.
• Create a 'Runtime' version of the application. 
• Add or modify basic elements such as graphic displays, tags, etc. 
• Create animation and simple scripting. 
  (NOTE: Advanced scripting and database applications are outside the scope of this training. )
• Add or modify alarms, recipes and reports to the application. 
• Configure and execute data logging and execute data logging capabilities. 
• Control security levels. 
• Design screens using multi-state switches, analog meters, bar graphs, and text messaging functions.

Class Schedule
Classes in San Ramon, California generally start at 9:00 a.m. each day and end at approximately 6:30 p.m.  The schedule is designed to cover a large amount of information in as few days as possible in order to reduce the impact on running your business. When making travel plans, please allow enough time so the entire duration of the course can be attended. Both facilities are about 35 miles from downtown San Francisco. It is recommended to stay near the training facility.  Visits to the city (San Francisco) are easily made during evening hours (a fast reverse commute) or during the preceding weekend. 

Course Materials
Our instructors provide students with the skills and material to immediately begin development of automation projects using Broadwin WebAccess HMI and SCADA software.  Students are encouraged to bring sketches, graphics and tag databases from real automation projects.  The benefit of attending a class with our experienced instructors is to significantly reduced time and cost in developing your next automation application.
