Program B: SCADA Only Track

A Survalent Instructor-led SCADA course designed to help you learn the key features, tips and tricks and application uses of Survalent's software. Courses will be offered online through TTU's learning management system. Licenses to the software will be made available for a limited time to complete the training.

SurvalentONE SCADA Systems Level 1 training: Over a 4 ½ day period, students will be introduced to the operational concepts of real-time SCADA systems, and learn about the SurvalentONE SCADA application. This course will explore network communications, basic databases, and graphic user interfaces (GUI), in addition to trouble-shooting techniques, and maintenance procedures, and is suitable for students new to SCADA and those interested in a refresher.

Prerequisite: Windows OS navigation skills.

SurvalentONE SCADA Systems Level 2 training: The Level 2 course provides in-depth coverage of advanced SurvalentONE SCADA topics. Over a 4 ½ day period, students will learn to configure and trouble-shoot the application, and get hands-on experience with database and graphics optimization, commands, and reports. Additional components covered included the IED Wizard control panel, SCADA server tools, and the virtual RTU.

Prerequisite: SCADA System Training—Level 1. Equivalent proficiency must include comfort with development of DB & GUI files, which are covered in Level 1 and not repeated in Level 2.
