COURSE CURRICULUM
COURSE TITLE: DCS AND SCADA
(COURSE CODE: 3361703)
1. RATIONALE
In present global scenario of manufacturing, industries are moving towards more and more
automation. Small scale and medium scale industries require PLC and SCADA technology,
but large scale and very large scale industries require DCS. So, it is very necessary for
instrumentation engineers to have knowledge of both DCS and SCADA. So this course
attempts to provide basic configurationally knowledge of these technologies to develop
operational competency. Hence this course is very important for instrumentation engineers
who want to specialize in industrial automation.
2. COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop required skills
in the students so that they are able to acquire following competency:
Configure and maintain DCS and SCADA system related to instrumentation and
control for industrial automation.
3. COURSE OUTCOMES
The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that students
are able to acquire required learning out comes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective
domain to demonstrate following course outcomes:
i. Identify and interpret PI diagram on HMI.
ii. Identify different elements of SCADA.
iii. Interpret the functionality of various elements of SCADA.
iv. Control process parameters of given process using DCS and SCADA
