Design of Functional Specifications for Industrial Automation Systems (SCADA, PLC and DCS) Onsite Training

All our workshops are available on an on-site basis.
For more details please click here to visit our On-site Training page.

The workshop will be useful to both specifiers and implementers and will provide a theoretical grounding as well as a practical guide for preparing a control system functional specification for implementation on Industrial control systems consisting of PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), HMI (Human Machine Interfaces/SCADA devices) or DCS (Distributed Control Systems).

On completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Detail the key requirements for a Functional Design Specifications (FDS)
  • Define the key components for a FDS for an Industrial Automation System (SCADA/PLC/ PAC and DCS)
  • Define the data communications and networking requirements
  • Detail the Graphical User Interface (GUI) requirements
  • Define the requirements for system reliability and availability
  • Describe the other issues (such as security and operator involvement) to be covered in the FDS

You do not need to be able to program a PLC or configure a SCADA system however a basic understanding of these systems will be beneficial.
