What is the difference between SCADA and HMI?

This WinCC SCADA training course has been designed to give engineers an insight into the configuration and operation of the Windows PC based Siemens WinCC SCADA software. The course will guide students through the basic design and configuration of the SCADA systems through to the operation and communications integration into the PLC control system.

Where possible, application specific exercises, actual drawings and plant projects will be used to allow the students to gain the greatest possible benefit from this course
