IE0098 : Advancement in RTU Communication & Automation Systems

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advancement in RTU Communication & Automation Systems. It covers the purpose of RTUs, the key differences of RTU and PLC and the common industries using RTUs; the RTU hardware architecture, RTU communication protocol and advances in communication media; the common vulnerabilities in RTU system; the importance of data encryption, authentication and access control and cybersecurity standards; the modbus RTU & TCP/IP, DNP3 protocol and IEC protocols in RTUs; and the basics of MQTT protocol, publishing/subscribing model in RTU system and integrating MQTT with industrial IoT platforms.
Further, the course will also discuss the role of protocol converters and gateway configurations; the SCADA system integration and PLC and RTU interfacing; the remote monitoring and control covering real-time data acquisition, web-based RTU monitoring, cloud integration with RTUs and fault detection and diagnostics; the edge computing concepts and the benefits of edge analytics; the redundancy and reliability in RTU systems; the role of RTUs in data collection and basic principles of predictive maintenance; and integrating RTU data with analytics platforms and dashboard and reporting tools.
