SCADA Systems — Advanced Level

Beyond building a screen: design redundant, secure, enterprise-scale SCADA architecture — historian trending, protocol-level integration, cybersecurity hardening and multi-site deployment, the way it's actually run in a control room.

Where Advanced SCADA Operates

SCADA doesn't live on one level — it spans several, and this program trains across them.

The standard industrial automation hierarchy, from field device to business system.

L0
Field Devices
Sensors, actuators, RTUs — the physical process itself.
Foundation
L1
Basic Control
PLCs and RTUs executing control logic on live telemetry.
Foundation
L2
Plant Supervisory
Local SCADA aggregating data from Level 1 controllers, issuing commands back.
This Program
L3
Production Control
Systemwide supervisory systems — historian trending, sitewide reporting and alerts.
This Program
L4
Business Systems
MES/ERP-level scheduling and enterprise reporting fed by SCADA data.
Integration Point
Advanced Program Contents

Ten modules that separate a SCADA developer from a SCADA architect.

01

Redundant & Hot-Standby Architecture

Primary/standby server pairs, automatic failover and bumpless switchover design.

02

Historian & Long-Term Trending

Database-backed historians for multi-year trending, auditing and analytics.

03

Tag Database Design at Scale

Structuring tag databases for tens of thousands of points across a site.

04

Communication Protocols

Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA and IEC 60870-5-104 at the protocol level, not just the driver.

05

SCADA Cybersecurity

Hardening against IEC 62443 / ISA-99 principles — network segmentation, access control, patching.

06

Multi-Site / Wide-Area SCADA

Aggregating data across geographically distributed sites into one supervisory view.

07

Alarm Management to ISA-18.2

Rationalized alarm philosophy design instead of ad hoc alarm sprawl.

08

Custom Driver & OPC Server Development

Building interfaces for devices that don't have an off-the-shelf driver.

09

SCADA-to-MES/ERP Integration

Feeding production data upward into scheduling and business systems.

10

Disaster Recovery & Failover Testing

Structured DR planning and live failover drills on a running system.

Industry-Specific SCADA

Four sectors where advanced SCADA looks meaningfully different.

Power & Smart Grid

Substation automation, telemetry across wide grid networks, IEC 60870/DNP3-heavy integration.

Oil & Gas Pipelines

Long-distance telemetry, leak detection integration and remote RTU-heavy architecture.

Water & Wastewater

Distributed lift stations and treatment plants tied into one municipal supervisory view.

Renewable Energy

Solar and wind farm SCADA — inverter/turbine telemetry, generation forecasting data feeds.
