Training

We can offer a range of training, consultancy, and even application/interface development services to assist system integrators and end-users

But as a starter, we generally recommend a basic 2 + 1 training course for those embarking on their first project. 2 days generic Adroit training, followed by a final day focussing on project-specifics for the particular project in question

Some of the key topics covered in this course are described below...

Adroit Overview Presentation Introductory presentation, with the aim of setting the scene - where Adroit comes from, what it is
System Architecture Describes deployment options ranging from stand-alone, single-workstation deployment, right through to multi-server, multi-client, geographically-distibuted system
Agent Types Introduces the concept of an agent type as a server-side data type. Lists currently available agent types. Defines other major server side-compenent: front-end, protocol drivers
Smart Client Defines what the term Smart Client means. Explains how the Adroit SmartUI Client is an example of smart-client technology
Graphics Behaviour Introduces the idea of client-side graphics behaviours. Build some basic behaviours culminating in a comprehsive grahics excercise
Scanning Scanning refers to connecting front-end device endpoints (PLC Registers, bits, etc) with SCADA endpoints (tags) and the dynamics behind all of this
Logging and Trending Logging is the server-side activity of retaining time- and quality-stamped information for subsequent display. Trending is a means of visualizing this historical data on the client-side
Alarming Along with scanning and logging, Alarming is a key SCADA feature, permitting various exception conditions to be detected: discrete value changes like trips, etc; level threshold changes; excessive rates of change, deviation from setpoints, etc
Bulk Configuration Having by now attained a grasp of the fundamentals, we now learn how to build real projects with thousands of tags, using productivity tools like MS Excel
Project Backup Using built-in backup utility we explore how to backup configurations for security purposes, and also how to restore them onto different machines, effectivley porting the whole application from one machine to another
