Part of a YH programme at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: ENI19TRA.
Control and Regulation Technology, 15 YH credits, provides knowledge of how a SCADA system is structured and works, and the ability to operate it at user level. You learn to interpret operating charts and flow diagrams, understand the difference between field, DUC and SCADA level, and identify faults in control and regulation systems in building and property automation. The course also provides knowledge of energy efficiency measures from a control and regulation perspective.
Duration: 3 weeks
Language: Swedish
Level: Intermediate
CSN-eligible
Time commitment: Full-time studies equivalent to 15 YH credits (approx. 3 weeks)
The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge of how a SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is structured and how it works, and the ability to operate a SCADA system at user level. The course gives students the tools to read and interpret values from a flow diagram in an operating chart or an operating screen in SCADA. Furthermore, students should be able to interpret and understand different kinds of operating charts, e.g. from an air handling unit and a heating substation. Using dynamic flow diagrams, students should be able to determine how an installation works. The course provides knowledge of standardised data buses used in building automation and the ability to understand the difference between field level, DUC level and DHC/SCADA level.
