Event Summary
SCADA systems are the backbone of pipeline operations—but many professionals rely on them daily without fully understanding how the system is designed, how data flows, or how data integrity is maintained. This gap can lead to misinterpretation of data, reduced confidence in system outputs, and challenges when troubleshooting or making operational decisions.
As SCADA technologies continue to evolve, it becomes increasingly important to understand not just how to use the system, but how it works—from field devices to the control room interface.
This course builds a clear, practical foundation in SCADA system design, operation, and data management. You’ll learn how data moves through the system, how different technologies and protocols interact, and what drives reliable, accurate system performance.
Through real-world examples and system-level walkthroughs, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how SCADA supports pipeline operations—so you can interpret data more effectively, troubleshoot with confidence, and make better-informed decisions.
What You’ll Gain
- A clear understanding of how SCADA systems have evolved and how modern systems differ across the industry
- Insight into the protocols used to transmit, collect, store, and manage operational data
- A practical understanding of SCADA architecture and how data flows from field devices to the control room
- Greater confidence in interpreting SCADA data and understanding how it is generated and displayed
Who Should Attend
Operations managers, technicians, and SCADA or control system professionals working with pipeline systems, along with analysts and operational leaders who rely on SCADA data for decision-making.
Experience Level
- Introductory to Intermediate – Ideal for professionals looking to build or strengthen their foundational understanding of SCADA systems and data flow.
