Programming Methods for Modern Industrial Automation
Micro-credential
Industrial automation has significantly changed in recent years through the convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Remote access to sites is now common practice as well as process data being stored in cloud-based systems. This micro-credential equips learners with an understanding of edge devices, networking, and cybersecurity.
What you will learn
Upon completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:
- understand the impact modern industrial automation systems have on organisational processes
- understand the differences between OT and IT systems, how they communicate, and how to mitigate risks
- program industrial control systems using advanced programming languages
- connect and configure an edge device to send process data from the plant to a cloud-based system
- create dashboards and query process data in order to extract meaningful information
- fault find and troubleshoot all aspects of the control system architecture.
